Full Scottish Breakfast

Breakfast @ "Vivo Cafe Bistro".

 

"Two Rashers of Back Bacon, Fried Egg, Link Sausage, Haggis, Black Pudding, Potato Scone, Baked Beans, Mushrooms, Toast & Butter"

 

It’s similar to a full English breakfast but with a few notable additions. Varying from place to place, it is typically made up of fried eggs, toast, bacon, baked beans, hash browns, linked sausages, black pudding, tattie scones (potato griddle scones), mushrooms and fried tomatoes. May also include lorne sausages (square sausages) instead of the linked sausages.

 

I guess the unique items on the plate would be the haggis, black pudding and potato scone, which were missing from the English version.

 

I had introduced black pudding earlier and will introduce haggis a little later.

 

In the meantime, a tattie scone or potato scone (which is not so clear in my photograph) is a regional variant of the savoury griddle scone which is especially popular in Scotland. Looking like very thin triangular-shaped pancakes served warm, well browned, but soft, not crisp, made with mashed potato (potato and butter—no milk is used—with salt to taste) and plain flour is added to make it into a dough which is then rolled out and put on an ungreased griddle to cook. Think of it as a pancake made with mashed potato = More carbs (grin).
