Scottish Breakfast
The past few times we’ve had visitors in Edinburgh, Paul and I have taken them out for a traditional Scottish fry-up. This time, with Nick visiting, Paul offered to cook the breakfast himself. Making a full Scottish breakfast is an ambitious undertaking, especially with only one frying pan! At most restaurants I’ve found that not all of the usual items are always included. Sometimes there isn’t toast, and most times we don’t find fried potatoes. Using the oven to keep everything warm as he went along, Paul made eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, and fried potatoes (home fries) along with the traditional Scottish favourites: haggis, potato scones, black pudding, and beans. Nick and I were thoroughly impressed and filled to the brim by the end of the meal.
