FYI: Burns Night is celebrated in Scotland and around the world on or around January 25. It commemorates the life of the "Ayrshire Bard" and the "Ploughman Poet", Robert Burns, who was born on this date in 1759. The event celebrates Burns' contribution to Scottish culture as well as to the literature of the world.

Was on an archaeological dig in Scotland and got to have an authentic Burns Night supper in the highlands. Now I plan to have one every year

Every year on a Saturday as close to Robby's birth day as we can the Knights of St. Andrew of the Scottish Rite Valley of Denver host a Burns Dinner. It is loads of fun and some pomp to boot. We have expanded our dinner over the last decade to nearly 300 guests. We do ours as a fund raiser for our building fund and a local children's charity. Your video is a great introduction in putting on this great event. sláinte

My dad was from Scotland so I am familiar with this celebration but, nevertheless, really enjoyed your video ... sent a link to a good friend over in the USA who hasn't heard of a Burns Night Supper...

Great explanation! We are hosting our very first (very) informal Burns night supper outside (in Salt Lake City, UT) this coming Tuesday. This is a clear and concise description and is a great help. Next year a piper and kilts are on the menu!! ;)

@albertnash888 2 года назад

Another soup you should serve at a Burns Supper is Cullen Skink. Another recommended dessert to serve is a Cranachan. You might also want to serve some Scottish cheeses to go with the meal.

@darrengooding8785 3 года назад

not looked at burns since i was at school, but even looking at this there is a swelling of scottish pride, it really is in our bones, hope you had fun on your burns night

@kirstymcnicol7014 3 года назад

I appreciated this video, great guidance. Even here in Scotland, more haggis is sold tonight then any other night of the year... but here, we also have haggis sold in fish & chip shops all year round. Deep fried haggis in batter, got to try it if you are ever in Scotland! Fresh deep fried in batter, much better option than a deep fried sausage. Haggis & chips with plenty salt & white vinegar. All year round, a wee treat. ;) 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks again for a lesson in Scottish tradition. I have heard about celebrate Burns Night, but now I know more and it would have been fun to be able to participate in that tradition for real. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone from Scottland, but who knows. Greetings from Inger and Sweden.

Hosting my first Burns Supper this year! Really excited about it. Not a whole lot of Scottish culture in Minnesota (at least not in Central and Northern MN) but doing my bit. LOVE this channel and hope to be purchasing some goodies from USA Kilts soon.

@timleith3794 7 месяцев назад

I’m hosting my first this year too! And in MN as well, wish me luck!

Love Burns night, cannot wait to hold the next one

@malcolmbrown3612 2 года назад

Always a great event to look forward to and to celebrate. As the soup course, think about having Cullen Skink, a soup made with smoked haddock, and for a sweet course try toasted oatmeal, whisky, thick cream and fresh raspberries. I really enjoy your RU-vid content and am aiming to visit, weather permitting in February. Here's tae us. Malcolm Brown

@pijnto 4 года назад

Excellent video, I have already sent out my invitations strictly casual Scots wear, Kilts preferred for the men, over here it is the middle of summer and for some reason I am looking at RU-vid at 3.30 in the morning

@Federation42movies 4 года назад

Have not had the opportunity to attend a Burns Night. Would love to. Still time to do some research on local gatherings. Seems to me there is one in Maine not too far from where I live.

Here's a newspaper account of a Burns supper held in Baltimore in 1834: drive.google.com/file/d/1yQp838tHnHQ30QNGjF-udZ9LgQuC80UY/view?usp=sharing The festivities lasted four and a half hours. There were 13 regular toasts, followed by nine "volunteer" toasts. The George Clazey mentioned as being elected to the standing committee was my great-great-great-grandfather. He was born in Hutton, Berwickshire, around 1786, came to American around 1818, and died in Baltimore in 1857.

@annmcgranaghan2131 4 года назад

Ye did a guid job describing the supper lad but the only veggies served are neeps and tatties. Dessert would not be clootie dumpling , too heavy. Shortbread is served at New Year. Dessert at a Burns supper would probably be Cranachan or various cheeses, fruit and crackers. Cranachan is a dessert of fresh whipped cream, fresh raspberries, oats and of course whisky. Try it ! It's nice and light and a fresh end to the meal. I'm sure there's a recipe on line. Slainte!

Your tech person must have been a Colquhoun. The background tartan was tartan was Colquhoun as was the clan badge toward the end of the video.

I prefer black salsify as vegtable, it fits very well for whiskysauce and every kind of meat and sausages

@pauljermy7072 4 года назад

Its the Haggis .. neeps (turnip) and tatties (potatoes). Only! Whisky sauce if you like but no other veggies

@thebelfastvikingmartinbrow3603 4 года назад

Never seen the point of other vegetables myself every single time we have haggis . And I prefer my black bush whiskey

When I was wee boy in Scotland, my parents used to tell me a Burns poem, but I'm not sure if it's an actual Burns work: "Poor wee thing, born without a skin Spake but wance and died." It's an ode to a fart, apparently. Anyone know if this is actually by Rabbie Burns? Or is it just my dad being a smart arse?

@patrickwilliams3108 4 года назад

"Ode Tae A Fart", is sometime attributed to Burns, but it is more likely just written in his style. Here it is in it's entirety: Oh whit a sleekit horrible beastie Lurks in yer belly efter the feastie Jist as ye sit doon among yer kin There sterts tae stir an enormous win' The neeps 'n' tatties 'n' mushy peas Stert workin' like a gentle breeze But soon the puddin' wi' the sauncie face Will hae ye blawin' a' ower the place Nae maiter whit the hell ye dae A'bodys gonnae hiv tae pay Even if ye try tae stifle It's like a bullet oot a rifle Hawd yer bum ticht tae the chair Tae try an' stop the leakin' air Shify yersel fae cheek tae cheek Prae tae God it disnae reek But aw yer efforts go assunder Oot it comes like a clap o' thunder Ricochets aroon the room Michty me a sonic boom God almichty it fairly reeks Hope a huvnae s**t ma breeks Tae the bog a better scurry Aw whit the hell, it's no ma worry A'body roon aboot me chokin Wan or twa are nearly bokin A'll feel better for a while Cannae help but raise a smile Wis him! A shout wi' accusin glower Alas too late, he's jist keeled ower Ye dirty bugger they shout and stare A dinnae feel welcome ony mair Where e'er ye be let yer wind gang free Sounds like jist the job fur me Whit a fuss at Rabbie's party Ower the sake o' wan wee farty So, no, the poem your Dad told you was not a Robert Burns work, either, but was probably pretty funny when you were a kid.

@fantasticflyingfrogs 2 года назад

So there is an old idea, not sure if there is any truth to it, that when Jeremiah the prophet fled from the Babylonian conquest, he eventually ended up in the British Isles. And that the rock under the queens throne is the rock that Moses made water come from, and that tartan is originally from Israel. This tradition is allegedly why Joseph of Aramathea came to Glastonbury after Resurrection. And it supposedly accounts for the number of Jeremys, Jeromes, etc, in Scotland and Ireland. After hearing your description of a Burns supper, it reminds me of Passover. I wonder if you guys could research this and do a video about these legends.

@ltp9019 4 года назад

2:21 Okay, I am running into conflicting information on "Neeps" - some sources, as with y'all, say that it's mashed turnips; however, in other sources, they say it's mashed rutabaga. I'm co-hosting my first-ever Burns Night Supper, and have a Vegetarian Haggis (by accident) from Scottish Gourmet, and they are sending a meat Haggis, so I'm really pressed for time, to make sure I have the correct root vegetable.

@usakilts 4 года назад

Here's an explanarion on "neeps": www.veg-world.com/articles/neeps.htm

@black_jackledemon6298 4 года назад

It can be either. Most often turnips is what comes to mind but either is fine. Potatoes and turnips are traditionally major staples. Jack-o-lanterns were originally carved out of turnips. I wish the very best evening! Cheers! 🙋‍♂️

@monkyman7762 3 года назад

I am scottish and neeps are mashed turnips

@jays2877 3 года назад

I don't think any Scottish greengrocer's ever heard of rutabaga, let alone sold it :))

@carlwoods4564 Год назад

Oldest known recipe for Haggis is from Lancashire England, not Scotland.

@michaelnelson2951 3 года назад

Wow, I'm trying to host a Robert Burns Night (I'm Scotch Ancestry). I think I'll invite The Knights of St Andrews and build it up from there. Great presentation, thank you.

@David-ml1ji 4 года назад

Neeps is rutabaga, not turnips

@usakilts 4 года назад

The rutabaga, swede, neep, turnip or snagger, also called by several other names in different regions, is a root vegetable that originated as a cross between the cabbage and the turnip.
