Good pics and what a way to pipe in the Haggis with an escort of swords!

When you use Springfield and Burns in the same sentence, one expects to see the immortal Simpson. Great Pictures. Well done, Lads.

This was the first Burn's supper I had ever been to and I had a marvelous time. Dinner was excellent and the entertainment was as well. Champ's "Ode to Cornbread" was very funny, and I wish I had had my camera to snap a picture of Todd and company chasing "Tam" while moaning like ghosts during the reading of "Tam O'Shanter." Cant wait for the next time!

Looks as if you guys had a great evening.

I have never heard of it so, before I forget, I must Google 'Cornbread'!

Take care,
Ham.

Ham,

This article will help explain about Ozarks cooking:

http://thelibrary.org/lochist/period...tch/ow303c.htm

Champ wrote the "Address to a Cornbread" as a Ozarks take on the Address to a Haggis. He was inspired by another parody, "Address to a Sausage", which a friend of mine in Queensland, Australia sent me. The Aussie Scots recite it at their Burns Supper.

Cheers,

Todd
