11 thoughts on “Scottish breakfast”
Looks pretty similar to a traditional English breakfast with the exception of the item at the top left. What is that?
Beans, egg, bacon, toast and tomato (looks like my B&B breakfast in London so far), but what is the square thing? Not the right shape for haggis…unless the haggis it that blob in the middle?
You know, I’m not really sure. I was hoping it would be blood sausage but it was something else very dry and bread-y. I think I like Irish breakfast better.
LOL… as an edinburgh resident I’ve been watching these tweets and twitpics from “bonnie scotland”. I take it your here on holiday?
Anyway, to answer Jennifer’s question – the “square thing” is lorne sausage (aka square sausage). Comes in a big block and you cut a bit off the end, or most shops sell it pre cut. Is a staple of the non-healthy scots diet :o)
Look / sounds deeeeelicious!!
I really enjoy the stoj on this side of the world…
So much better than Kiwi stoj. Next time im in Edinurgh, I’m gettin me a square saussage.
Hey Matt: will you make it to London? Would be keen to talk tech and biz if you’re at a loose end? Lunch will of course be on me 🙂

When you come to visit us, breakfast is on me. Except for the egg, it won’t resemble anything in that photo. 🙂

It’s black pudding. Sheep’s blood I think…
