Dave puts on another Burns Supper

Every year on his birthday, January 25th, the world remembers and celebrates the life and works of Scottish Poet, Robert Burns, “The Bard” of Scotland..... effectively a second National Day, for Scots.

In his short 37 years, Robert Burns(25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) also known as Rabbie Burns or The Bard of Ayshire, and known in Scotland simply as “The Bard”, penned an amazing repertoire of poetry and lyrics popular to this day.

The Burns evening was a great success. Dave Sapiro went to a great deal of trouble to organise the event, including printing the menu with a list of whiskeys to be sampled and various Burns poems.

Alan Welch won the whiskey tasting competition for which he received a complimentary haggis, specially imported by Mark (also a STUD) of the English Shop in Tervuren.

Burns Night Dinner

Too bad if you missed it, but Dave Sapiro hosted an awesome Burns Night Dinner at his house in Brussels.

Burns Supper......Haggis Night on January 25th

Mark your calendar now for a traditional Burns’ night supper of Haggis (including a vegetarian version!), Neeps and Tatties all washed down with fine Scotch Whiskey!

Once sufficiently lubricated we will recite some Burns poetry! Our own STUD Dave Sapiro has kindly offered to organise this event.

For those who need some backround on what a traditional Burns supper is.....check this out.
