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.

Similarly, to make a scotch egg; Hard boil an egg, then convince it to hate the English.

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.

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

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

Doesnt have to be Stornoway black pudding.

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

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.

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

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.
