Traditionally served on the 25 January, the anniversary of Robert Burns’ birth, it’s the crowning glory of a Burns Night – an event that celebrates Scotland’s National Bard’s life and works.
Ingredients: * Basic ingredients include a mixture of the minced heart, lungs and liver of a sheep mixed with suet, onions, oatmeal, spices and seasoning boiled in the stomach of the slaughtered animal (or a more contemporary synthetic equivalent such as sausage casing).
Address to a Haggis • This poem was written by Burns to celebrate his appreciation of the Haggis. As a result Burns and Haggis have been forever linked. • This particular poem is always the first item on the program of Burn's suppers. The haggis is generally carried in on a silver salver at the start of the proceedings. • As it is brought to the table a piper plays a suitable, rousing accompaniment. • One of the invited artistes then recites the poem before theatrical cutting of the haggis with the ceremonial knife. •
