| Woof! |
In Scotland, and all over the world, peoples, dogs, cats, etc, celebrate the Scottish poet by enjoying some yummy Scottish delicacies, no, not the deep fried Mars bar...
HAGGIS, NEEPS AND TATTIES!!
Woof, and if you don't know what haggis is, I truly insist you go look it up just now, or, if possible, before you eat.
But remember, before you eat your Burns supper, you have to do it the proper way:
- Pipe in the guests (because everyone has bagpipes hidden somewhere),
- Chairman's welcome,
- Selkirk Grace,
- Pipe in Haggis,
- Address to Haggis,
- Toast to Haggis,
- and finally,
- nom nom nom (that's food), slurp slurp slurp (and that's whisky).
And if you don't want to faff around doing all that, it's okay to just buy a haggis pizza from the shops.
I'm ready to eat, are you?

| Woof, food in here please! |
 |
| Hello? Anyone? Am I not getting? |
 |
| Fine then. So I can't have neeps and tatties? Well... |
 |
| I'm sure Jimmy'll share some of his haggis, won't you Jimmy? |
 |
| Jimmy? Jimmy?! I know you're knitted, but you could still do with a hearing aid... |
Cheerio,
Pippa :) wuf wuf
So did you get anything Pippa ?

ReplyDeleteOOOHHHH firstly - happy 2014 Pippa (and Eve!)... don't think I said that properly last time. Secondly, Pippa, I do hope you have your share of the haggis by now!! I have vegetarian haggis - but silly old gal forgot to buy the neep so pumpkin instead. Close. But no bagpipe.
Hoots, jings, and up yer sporran. Hae a gran' nicht!! Slainte, hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Have a lovely Burns night. I go down to Allow in Ayr to see all the places where he lived.
ReplyDeleteOMD! We missed it! It' the 26th here (Australia Day). We've never had haggis--would you believe. But SHE has. SHE's been to a Burns Night and said the haggis wasn't too bad. You have a great time...and don't let the peeps say 'that's not good for dogs'. They use that excuse ALL the time.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
We'll have the neeps and tatties and you can have the haggis. Can you really get haggis pizza? Happy Robbie Burns Day!
ReplyDeleteGosh she clean forgot and we wondered why someone was collecting haggis from the butcher. She must get the sack as she forgot squirrel appreciation day too. Have a great Burns night and have a super Saturday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Pippa my mom loves bagpipes. Our friend Sweet William the Scot(tie) Pup has them playing in the back ground. I think it is call the the Hymn of the Carols. Mom retired from N. C. State University
ReplyDeletethe band also had a bagpipe section. She loved watching them march and play at special events.
Enjoy Burns day and the yummy meal.

Haggis, Neeps, Tatties, and Whiskey. Sounds like a great way to celebrate. Now, to find the nearest place around here that has haggis might be a bit tough.
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm Scottish, I have no idea what a neep is. I think it sounds cute. I hope you had a very tasty day, Pippa!

I am of Scottish descent and I love tatties and whisky. However, I have no idea what a neep is...and I do know what haggis is (and I am not sure I would like it). That said, I hope your Burn's Supper was fabulous, Pippa.

I has very fond memories of haggis Pippa! The first hol-ee-day I went on with Mum and TND we stayed in a lovely Scottish hotel and TND gived me some of his haggis every morning! Ah, heaven. I do hope you did get even a little bit after all!!
ReplyDelete~lickies, Ludo
I have seen Haggis made and eaten on TV, I think it is an acquired taste! But I bet you have a taste for it!
ReplyDeleteMy mom says "NO" to Haggis, but I would like to try some!
ReplyDeleteWyatt
Mommy says heavy on the Mars bar and skip the haggis. I would try it though.
