That's very similar to our Haggis procession, Chef.

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that St. Andrews Society in NY were the only ones doing it that way or that they were the originators. I'm sure that others do it similarly or maybe even more elaborately. Although since the Society in NY has been around for 250 years they have been doing it that way for a long time. It just happened to be the there that I saw that procession for the first time.

No worries, Chef. It can very impressive, where ever it's done!
