Gie her a haggis!
Last Saturday my Pipe Band, the Panama City Pipes and Drums, hosted a BURNS SUPPER fundraising dinner and dance. A Burn's Supper is a celebration of the life and spirit of Scotland's national bard, Robert "Rabbie" Burns (wikipedia link). This was the band's inaugural hosting of such an event. It was pretty successful; not allot of money raised but I think everyone enjoyed themselves.
While not a particularly traditional Burns Supper, our event did have all the important stuff: haggis to eat, highland dancers dancing, the reciting of the Address to the Haggis, a few performances from the pipe band, good food to enjoy, some scotch at the bar, and an overall great night.
I've done a great number of Burns Suppers since I started playing pipes and this one was one of my favourites.

We have just moved to Panama City from Scotland, just wondered where do you buy Haggis in Panama City??
Thanks
Your best chance to get a hold of haggis is during the Panama City Highland Games (held annually at Grace Presbyterian Church in early March). One of the food vendors normally has some with them.
