Burns Dinner- Toronto
N/A
Burns Dinner- TorontoOur Burns Dinner is held in the elegant University Club of Toronto. After being piped in to a reception where society members, Club members and guests mingle, the meal starts with a Burns grace. A first course is served, then everyone stands for the piping in of in the haggis. The piper leads the haggis-bearing party, to where, with great drama, Burns’ poem To A Haggis is recited. Everyone joins in on the last line, “Gie her a haggis!” and toasts the haggis with a glass of whisky before tucking into a delicious meal.
Cost is 130 per person. Further details at http://www.cassoc.ca/standrews-burnsdinner.htm
