THE Prime Minister treated guests at his Downing Street Burns Supper on Wednesday evening to a traditional Scottish dinner of a Cockney haggis toastie.
Instead of the more plebian haggis, neeps and tatties that millions enjoy around the world, Rishi Sunak invited guests to enjoy our national dish ensconced in two slices of bread with melted cheese, made by Deeney’s, a firm based in East London.
The firm’s website tells us that founder Carol Dwyer (née Deeney) was “born and bred in a Scottish café” and set up Deeney’s with her partner Paddy after the pair met at a market in Hackney.
