As an Italian, british breakfast makes me so envious! We should do that too in the morning and stop eating those damn chocolate biscuits

No I've been (quite recently in fact). I appreciate it and will eat it any day. But in terms of international cuisine, it's not in the top 5 in my view. I find it to be overly romanticized in the West.

Ha appreciate the stalking 😉

But are baked beans really the measure you're judging someone's taste by? Kind of explains what I mean.

Using a sausage as a breakwater between the egg and the beans?

Norfolk's 3rd most popular morning radio DJ approves.

yet_another_cat t1_iy1bk9p wrote

Still, there doesn’t seem to be too much sauce, something I anticipate by putting the beans in the fridge overnight, so they’re more solid.

You just need to cook them for longer on a low temperature to let it reduce.

Can someone explain the differences between a full Scottish breakfast and a full English breakfast?

Haggis and a general hatred for their Southern neighbours.

And lorne/slice which seems absent here. I’ll let it go though cos there’s three eggs.

Full Scottish breakfast usually has slices of haggis, lorne (square) sausage and tattie scone. I've also noticed our black pudding is sometimes a bit different to the ones you get in England.

We also sometimes have fried fruit pudding or fruit dumpling. Fruit pudding is like a suet sausage with currants and stuff in it and fruit dumpling is more like a cake.

one-off-one t1_iy12yhl wrote

It’s white pudding a lot of times instead of black pudding if that’s what you mean.

Waqqy t1_iy1t62k wrote

Nah you typically get Stornoway black pudding in a Scottish which I think might be a bit different from regular

EduinBrutus t1_iy3c29w wrote

Doesnt have to be Stornoway black pudding.

Just any regular black pudding without huge lumps of fat like they seem to eat in England.

egg1st t1_ixzul5s wrote

That plate had lorne sausage, hagis and potato cake, which you don't normally find on an English breakfast. Both the lorne sausage and hagis are very Scottish. The potato cake can be found in northern England and Ireland in addition to Scotland.

Potato SCONE or Tattie scone. I've never heard it called a potato cake.

Sdomttiderkcuf t1_iy08oiq wrote

Add soda bread, remove the haggis and it’s a full Irish breakfast.

EduinBrutus t1_iy3cg68 wrote

Haggis and Potato Scone. No toast. Should also be streaky bacon not back "bacon" which is basically thinly sliced gammon and not bacon at all. But that seems to be a fight thats been lost over the years.

This. 99.9% of the time beans are just heated and served in a puddle. These have been perfectly prepared

How do you keep the beans? I've always just had them heated out the can.

barbarossa1984 t1_iy0nhzo wrote

This makes me so homesick I just looked up where I can order lorne sausage, haggis, fruit pudding and Stornoway black pudding online for home delivery. I was so happy to find I can get several breakfasts worth for under £30 only to get to check out and find they have a £75 minimum order for home delivery. Sad now :( I miss just being able to go to the nearest corner shop for a breakfast pack on a Sunday morning.

popupsforever t1_iy197ic wrote

You can get Lorne sausage and haggis in most big supermarkets if you're in England. Fruit pudding and stornoway black you'll still struggle with tbf, but you could make fruit pudding yourself if you fancy.

That looks spectacularly good, and untainted by hash browns that seem to have infiltrated themselves in their southern counterpart.

Ironic, really, since my theory is that hash browns were first imported into England, and hence the Full English, through the agency of the well known Scot, Ronald MacDonald.

Hash browns cannot taint anything!

Also, holy moly, this sub does not allow a wide array of benign words and phrases. This was my third try.

Thats the wrong bacon.

A Scottish breakfast should be using streaky bacon.

I guess you could probably get away with ayrshire bacon.

But this thinly sliced gammon the English call bacon is not right.

It's not something you're having every day for breakfast, it's an occasional treat.

The bacon is wrong.

A Scottish breakfast should only use streaky bacon.

But I realise thats a battle that's probably been lost.

I loved this when I visited Scotland with my dad. And I VERY much found haggis freaking delicious! Kind of a more interesting paté.

Discally t1_iy26cy0 wrote

Haggis is also pretty versatile as well.

I've had it the traditional style, with the peppercorn sauce, neeps and all.

I've also had it rolled in oats and baked as well.

There's always the possibility of it being used as stuffing for cornish hens too.
