Burns Supper 2008
|
Robert Burns is Scotland’s best loved
poet and every January, dinners are held worldwide in
his honour. One of these was held in
Kitchener, featuring a homemade haggis. It included the
classic presentation of the haggis, which was brought
into the dining hall led by a bagpipe procession. For
those not in the know, haggis is not for the weak of
stomach...which is a clue to what it is made from. Of
course, the haggis supper wouldn’t be complete without
a reciting of Burns’ famous poem, “To a Haggis”. Next
year is the 250-year anniversary of Robert Burns’
birth and there will be a grand celebration held in
Kitchener.
