Happy Burns Night!

Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it; But we hae meat, and we can eat, Sae let the Lord be thankit.

-Robert Burns

Welcome to Clover’s second annual Burns Supper, celebrating what would be the 264th birthday of Robert Burns.

Thank you to the musicians of Cantrip Band and poet Jennifer Funk who have recorded a lineup of Scottish songs and poems to accompany you on your culinary journey.

Thank you to friend of Clover Chef Jason Bond for first coming up with the idea for this meal box.

Thanks to all of you for supporting local agriculture and a brighter future with your food dollars.

And thanks to Burns, above all, for his love of food, drink, and pleasure.

Slàinte Mhath!
