Commander Harris Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 just wondered if anyone else was doing something for Burns Night? Do others still mark this day? I'll be heading to a Burns Supper at a friend's but it's just an excuse for another party to be honest as I'm not too fussed about celebrating Robert Burns. I've got off lightly thankfully, no addressing the haggis or toasting the lasses for me, the selkirk grace is my only responsibility and I'm sure I can cope with that! Although I might fancy a wee sing song later on in the evening. anyone else up to anything?
Walter Kidd Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Went to Crombies at lunch for a haggis. Might have a wee dram as well.
K1874M Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Haggis then out to a techno night.... Just like rabbie would have wanted...
Captain Canada Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Going out for scran tonight - not specifically for Burns Night but hopefully there will be haggis on the menu. One of my mates got roped into doing the immortal memory speech at a works do by his boss. He's never written a speech in his puff, so he paid someone to write it for him. Unique Speeches I think it was.

Commander Harris Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 Haggis then out to a techno night.... Just like rabbie would have wanted... Burns was a big fan of dutch hardcore. FACT. (music that is )
Ibrahim Tall Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Would getting a Haggis Supper on the way back from a nightout count?
K1874M Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Burns was a big fan of dutch hardcore. FACT. (music that is ) haha, sure he was / would have been. Infact any where there was birds he would have been there... worse than Burley.... allegedly.
upthehill Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I am off to a Conservative party Burns Supper. It will be a good laugh. There are 3 Conservative ones in Edinburgh tonight. They take it being pretty serious with Burns having been a Tory.

They take it being pretty serious with Burns having been a Tory. LOL - you are having a laugh!!!! The Soviet Union immortalised Burns by way of commerative stamps 50 years before the Royal Mail decided to! Burns was a proto-socialist!
Maximus Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 It shall just be the hunting and sacrificial slaying of the Haggis doon this end of toon.
Craigieboy Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Its all on the boil as we speak. Starved masel all day for it. Started on the Stella. Nip with the meal then thats me set for a few more. .
Ivan Drago Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 had one on wednesday. rather than just whiskey had flying scotsman - chicken stuffed wae haggis and wrapped in bacon, covered in whiskey sauce. going out tonight so maybe a haggis supper on the way home to celebrate again
The Merse Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I had a Haggis pizza last night in Burns' honour.
Ivan Drago Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I had a Haggis pizza last night in Burns' honour. haggis pizzas are amazing! as are haggis toasties. yet to try haggis pakora though.
Commander Harris Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 haggis pizzas are amazing! as are haggis toasties. yet to try haggis pakora though. I've heard of Haggis pakora but I haven't tried it yet either. It think they would be great
Moriarty Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 made my first ever burns supper myself (left home for uni 2 years ago and didn't bother last year) and it was delish. Buggered up the tatties though, so overcooked they were premashed in the pan! tasted great with a bit of butter mixed in.
The Merse Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 haggis pizzas are amazing! as are haggis toasties. yet to try haggis pakora though. There were selling haggies pies in Greggs this week, never got one though, imagine they'd be fairly tastey!
Ivan Drago Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 There were selling haggies pies in Greggs this week, never got one though, imagine they'd be fairly tastey! they sure are - not had a greggs one but the burds maw makes them, basically just cottage pie with haggis rather than mince Greggs were doing them for St Andrews day as well
Ivan Drago Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I've heard of Haggis pakora but I haven't tried it yet either. It think they would be great just the thought makes me wet. I found a kebab shop in Partick that does doner meat pakora doesnt sound quite as appetising
Coco Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Love haggis. Veggie haggis is great too. And so is the venison haggis from the butcher on Portobello high street.
Moriarty Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 And so is the venison haggis from the butcher on Portobello high street. Aye, what to do with all that leftover Venison
neave Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Just had haggies, neeps and chips. Wae broon sauce. And some ice-cream. Happy Birthday, big man.
Walter Kidd Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Best haggis I have ever had. Crombies. The best butcher in Edinburgh. Happy Birthday Rab.
Maximus Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Did someone say it's my birthday? How wonderful.
gadgey55 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Had it last night, as I was workin tonight. Haggis rocks. The neeps make ye fart like hell tho. Ma room was like walkin into an egg piece this mornin! As for Burns poems, what a load of keek IMO.
Maximus Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Why does he have a ward named after him at the hospital?
gadgey55 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Why does he have a ward named after him at the hospital? There is a whole residential area named after him and his life!
Tazio Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I was going to experiment with haggis stovies but was too hungry to muck around so i had a huge steak instead. It was Scottish beef though.
Guest Freewheelin' Jambo Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Had a traditional Curry for Burns night. Well, a man's a man for a' that. Poppadoms included.
Rabbie_Burns Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Hope your hangovers and haggis breath are'nt too bad this morning folks...
