Sounds yummy. We only had the 3rd course minus the neeps unfortunately, as they seemed to have sold out everywhere. I had to improvise and replace them with butternut squash, which I doubt Robbie Burns would have been familiar with!

Neeps can be a bit hard to get here as well, and here have been years in which I used Hokkaido pumpkin instead. Butternut squash sounds delicious! :)
