This was our full Scottish breakfast as prepared by Alan the owner of the B&B we stayed at in Mallaig just before we crossed to the Isle of Skye. It has (clockwise from top) a rasher of bacon, black pudding, hash browns, beans, bangers, cooked tomato on a pancake like bread and an egg.
The Scottish comedian, Danny Bhoy, says that, " The Scottish breakfast is a way for the Scots to say that it doesn't matter what you're going to do to us today, it's not worse than what we have just done to ourselves". It was a novel idea at first but after our second it got to be a chore and by the third opportunity we were ordering only portions of the dish to save our stomachs. Although, Rick has become a huge fan of black pudding... blood, fat, oats, barley and spices. I guess since I like nato (fermented bean curd) I shouldn't say anything about blood pudding.
