Since my brother Jason and I got back from our second trip to the UK in 2010, we have been trying to get together with Nora for a Scottish Day. It's a new holiday we made up that celebrates the UK by sharing stories and photos from our trip and eating classic UK cuisine. Nora has a lot of family history and heritage from Scotland and Northern England, so she was very interested in learning about what we did so she could plan her own trip there one day!
This weekend, almost two years after our trip, we finally made the get together happen! I was impressed that Jason had a few food items saved from our trip that we could all enjoy. I didn't even know he still had them!

Scottish Day Menu:
Homemade Shepherd's PieBaguettes with tomato chutney (Jason bought the chutney when we were in Scotland)
Irn Bru (a Scottish soda)
Fermented Cider (Jason bought when we were on the Isle of Skye)
Cadbury digestive biscuits (with chocolate on one side)
Assortment of Twinings Tea
The photos on this wall were all taken on our trip (all of them are Scotland), and Jason picked a few of his favourites for his wall.
