Bostin' Burns Night celebrated by Tipton pie business
It was a bostin' Burns Night for a popular Black Country business as it introduced a Haggis Pie onto its menu for the first time ever.
Mad O'Rouke's Pie Factory, in Tipton, introduced the delicacy to mark the occasion on Tuesday in memory of Scottish poet Robert Burns.
And food lovers can still get their hands on one – but time is running out, with the special Haggis Pies only sticking around for one week.
The pie features a traditional Scottish Haggis smothered in "a delicious sauce of shallots, Worcestershire sauce, whisky and cream, and topped with a delicious pastry lid".
Peter Towler, Mad O'Rourke's managing director, said: "We're always looking to do something new with our pies, and this seemed like the perfect fit for a cold January evening!
"Our Pies by Post service has been very popular in Scotland, with lots of ex-Black Country folk hankering for a taste of home, so we thought we'd return the favour and give Scots living locally our own spin on their traditional national dish on Burns Night.
"People can sometimes be a bit squeamish at the thought of haggis – in the same way some people can about the Black Country culinary institution of faggots, but they really should give the Haggis Pie a go, I'm convinced they'll love it."
