January 25th every year. just thought i'd present a little cultural interchange. Robert Burns is the most famous Scottish Poet ever. Has a day in honour of him. typical customs for the night are: - reading some of his poetry. - eating Haggis*. (and clapshot**, but i recently discovered that's not widespread) - having a wee dram***** so let it not be just a scottish celebration, see if u can find some haggis and potatoes, maybe a nice scotch (highland park, the macalan, laphroaig, for three examples), and look up some o auld rab's poems... maybe one you can understand. (and mix in some herb with your haggis too!) * A wee beastie, rare to find, usually lurks in the moors, more comonly found where there are sheep. generally about the size of a baby's head. rumoured to be furred and feathered varieties. vegetarian haggis are also now available from shops. **Tatties*** & Neeps**** mashed together. ***Potatoes. **** Turnips. ***** drink of whisky. ...and if u managed to navigate your way through that to comprehension, i congradulate you and your reading skills.
