Selfridges food hall is stocking haggis sushi for Burns Night
Haggis sushi and a can of Irn Bru? Yes please! The limited edition delights will be available from YO! in the Selfridges food hall.
Burns Night is a celebration of all things Scottish - but you don’t have to board a train to Edinburgh to get involved in the action.
And that’s because YO! in Selfridges food hall, is offering Londoners a Scottish twist on a Japanese classic - haggis sushi.
The culinary treat is a collaboration between YO! Sushi and IRN-BRU.
What’s on the menu?
YO! London Selfridges is one of six YO! restaurants across the UK that will serve haggis and prosciutto sushi rolls, Teriyaki haggis nigiri, and haggis katsu curry - each perfectly paired with an ice-cold IRN-BRU.
Chefs at YO! have worked with Scotland’s other national drink, IRN-BRU, to create the menu, rolling out the three new menu additions just in time for Rabbie’s birthday with YO! Fries and pumpkin Katsu are served on the side as a nod to the iconic neeps and tatties accompaniments enjoyed all over the world.
The incredible culinary creations include:
- Teriyaki Haggis Nigiri: haggis with teriyaki and mayo, garnished with sesame seeds and fried sticky rice.
- Haggis and prosciutto sushi roll: haggis with red onions, teriyaki and carrot, rolled in rice and wrapped in prosciutto before being glazed and blowtorched
- Haggis katsu curry: haggis katsu in a mild curry sauce with pak choi, red radish and steamed rice

Whether it's your first taste of haggis or you’re just keen to sample it in a unique way, each menu item can be sumptuously washed down with a can of IRN-BRU for the perfect Burns pairing.”
The haggis menu will be served in selected YO! Restaurants: Glasgow - West George Street & Braehead , Edinburgh - Princes Street, Aberdeen - Union Square, Liverpool One and London Selfridges.
