"Just in case your Scottish poetry history is a little rusty, a Burns Supper is a celebration of the life and poetry of Scottish poet Robert Burns (25 January 1759 - 21 July 1796), who often wrote poetry in Scottish dialect. A Burns Supper, which nearly always includes haggis, is normally held on or near the poet's birthday (25 January / Burns Night) and it's a tradition that dates back to 1801 when his friends first gathered to commemorate five years since his passing."
"In fact, Burns Night is now so entrenched in the Scottish calendar that it is considered to be part of Scotland's cultural heritage. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't celebrate Burns Night in France. Far from it. Burns Night is celebrated all around the world including in a number of places in France. After all, France and Scotland have a long history together, sometimes referred to as the 'Auld Alliance.'"
Burns Supper celebrates the life and poetry of Robert Burns on or near 25 January, originating from commemorative gatherings in 1801. The tradition commonly features haggis and is now part of Scotland's cultural heritage. Burns Night is observed worldwide, including in parts of France, reflecting historical ties known as the Auld Alliance. Haggis began as a resourceful dish using offal and grains; some trace the name to the French verb 'hacher.' Modern haggis recipes incorporate vegetables, oats, spices, and seeds. Burns Night menus and customs are flexible and can be adapted to local tastes and circumstances.
