Five-course gourmet meal Church hosts Robbie Burns Night JANET DUVAL Special to The IFP You don't need to be Scottish to enjoy the Robbie Burns dinner that St. John's United Church will be hosting on Saturday, January 20. The five-course gourmet meal is sure to please every guest, most of whom will never have experienced the food, camaraderie and entertainment of this traditional feast. Included in the meal will be smoked salmon, McMaster's fine roast beef, wine, and a Tipsy Laird dessert laced with drambuie. You can also sample the unusual flavours of cock-a-leekie soup, chappit tatties (potatoes) and neeps, before the haggis makes its dramatic entry following a bag piper. "It's the perfect thing to do on a dark night in January," say organizers Drew and Bett Leverette. "We'll be celebrating the great Scottish poet with people all around the world on this one special night." The event will help raise funds for the church's exciting new programs, worship technology and upbeat music, all aimed at attracting more young families. The $50 ticket price includes wine, entertainment and the five-course sit-down dinner. Guests also receive a charitable tax receipt for $25. Gather your friends, wear a bit of plaid, or simply come as you are. Everyone is welcome. You can buy tickets any weekday morning in January at the church office, 11 Guelph St. in Georgetown.
