Burns Supper

On Saturday night, Lori and I went to a party to celebrate the life and work of Scottish poet Robert Burns. Lori's boss is Scottish and she hosted a wonderful party that was a mix of Scottish, English, French, American and Canadian. The meal was fantastic and we had a great time. There was a lot of Franglish being spoken.

There is a set format for a Burns Supper that involves poems, odes, toasts and songs. The main dish of course is Haggis, which is piped into the room. Here is Mary's son bringing the Haggis in while wearing an inflatable Scottish outfit.

This Haggis was mostly ceremonial. Our meal was more of a casserole dish of Haggis, Neeps and Tatties. In case you were wondering Neeps and Tatties are turnips and potatoes. Here is a good shot of the cannonball shaped Haggis.

Thank you to Mary and Laurent for a great night.
