this wuz frae a Burns Supper in LA in 2001...

[Pour1Malt]

"Her knife see rustic Labour dight, "

[Pour1Malt]

"The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,"

[Pour1Malt]

" Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit' hums."

[starbkjrus]

" Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit' hums."

I've always wondered about this picture...it looks as if Emma is about to be sick. If cutting it can do that then that makes me a little nervous about eating it.

You must try it, it wont kill you and you might even like.

naw- it is in the poem (Address tae the Haggis)

" Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;

they will eat until their bellies are swollen as tight as drums

The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit' hums."

"and old Guidman, most like to explode

be glad he hums (belches, farts)"

[McMurdo]

Great picts as always P1M

I just came across a site that I dont think was listed before for Burns Supper information. Here it is:

Remember a Burns Supper does not have to be a great expensive affair, with a little research I am sure everyone can find one in their area that is reasonable.

The first one I heard about for this year was going to cost $100 each, so I said not on your life am I spending that kind of money, lucky for me my dad is involved with the Burns society in his town s oI didnt have to look far to get new dinner plans.
