York University Burns Night

My first encounter with real live kilties was at York University where I was a student in the early 90s. A few graduating students had chosen to wear kilts with their gowns. I remember being quite captivated by the ornate sporrans

Two in one night! Sounds like you and your lassie had a good time. Thanks for posting the pics.

You both look good. First time celebrating and you do two in one night,...you really know how to kick it off in style.

So you favor the "Two-Party System", eh?

By the way, if a belt and waistcoat are worn together, they should be worn the way you have them, with the buckle behind the waistcoat.

Imagine if I had fit three Burns suppers in my first year celebrating, eh? Maybe next year!

"Two-Party System"

I appreciate the vote of confidence for my belt with waistcoat. The point has been contested in several other threads and many seem to think it should never, ever be done.

I did that, it was great. I'm already planning next year so I'll keep you up to date.

But - but - but where is the gravy?

You actually eat haggis without gravy?

Haggis should be served in a soup plate, haggis in the middle with mashed 'tayto and neap - both well creamed and buttered - to act as retaining walls, then pour on a thick rich, but unseasoned, gravy.

The haggis spices up the bland elements, the gravy tones down the taste impact of the haggis.
