York University Burns Night

[Mael Coluim]

I agree with you, that your bucket looks good with the waistcoat. Attractive lass you have there, laddie!

Alas - I would say that neither gave the haggis the best possible accompaniment.

Scooping up gravy soaked haggis alternating the addition of mashed potatoes and neaps - sigh.

Though the gravy does need to have half a shoulder of lamb, carrots, celery, half an onion, a couple of potatoes, and a long slow simmer before liquidising and thickening with a roux.

There is no wonder that some people think they do not like haggis.

My first encounter with real live kilties was at York University where I was a student in the early 90s. A few graduating students had chosen to wear kilts with their gowns. I remember being quite captivated by the ornate sporrans

Thoth51, did that inspire you to get kilted and go to a Burns night? Apparently McLaughlin College has been holding them for 19 years, so you might have been there for some of the early ones...

Good ol' York
