St Andrew's Day Menu in European Parliament

Scottish National Party President and Euro-MP Ian Hudghton sponsored part of the annual St Andrew's Day celebration at the European Parliament in Brussels, by commissioning a consignment of shortbread from North-east bakers, Kindness of New Deer.

As part of his extensive annual summer tour, the MEP had visited the bakery in August to tour the facility and arrange a special delivery to the European Parliament.  The shortbread took pride of place in the Members’ Restaurant, where eager diners appreciated the Scottish delicacy as part of a special menu which included prime Scotch beef.

Speaking from Brussels, Ian Hudghton MEP said:

“I am always on the lookout for ways to promote Scottish produce and business to a wider audience, and the shortbread from Kindness Bakers proved a big hit at the European Parliament’s St Andrew’s Day celebrations.

“With 25 EU member states represented here, and frequent visitors from around the world coming to the EU Parliament, this is an excellent venue in which to raise awareness of all things Scottish before a global audience.”
