what a "real & traditional" scottish breakfast...

[royalreiver]

me eating breakfast is hard enough, without salt and irn bru added to it! im sure it had salt in it when i had it in the UK, i didnt cook it. but if i eat something it has to taste good, otherwise id rather go hungry in fact ive been known to do just that.......when it comes to food i listen to my tastebuds and no one else!

You know what's really good on your oat meal and healthier that all the sweet gunk my family tended to pour on everything is applesauce!

I grew up on oatmeal but to make my brothers and sisters eat it my mom poured brown sugar and maple syrup on it.... disgusting! It took me years to learn that I do like oat meal, it was all the nasty toppings used by my family that I hated!

I put applesauce and milk on it now and I could live on it! Yummy!

Do I have to teach you Scottish people everything? And some others I should add...

The best breakfast for everyone SHOULD be--toast with margerine or butter with slices of tomato or better yet....with canned stewed tomatos cold. It is yummy in the tummy. But not when you are dieting.

I had 1/2 cup cottage cheese and bran cereal mixed together today. Poor ol' fat me!

You don't have to teach me how to make breakfast I have been doing it
for years....lol

Try the toast without margarine or butter and with hot tinned tomatoes
that tastes and is better for you !!

Here a few options that are good with toast !!

Toast spread with Marmalade !!

Toast spread with Strawberry Jam !!

Toast spread with Cream Cheese !!

Scrambled Eggs on Toast !!

Poached Eggs on Toast !!

Cheese on Toast !!
----------------------------------------------------

The best Porridge is made with medium Oatmeal and cooked with salt added...also have a cup of cold milk that you can dunk each spoonful of Porridge into to give it the best taste ever !!
-----------------------------------------------------

During the week I have simple breakfast but do try to make it a Brunch
meal on Sundays at about 11am !!

Then I will have vegetarian style Bacon, Sausages, Egg, Mushrooms and
Tomatoes !!

Okay, I'm going to let my ignorance shine through for a second, but was talking with a UK-born ex who warned me that
brekkers may take a lot of getting used to. During the week
its generally cofee and a bagel to go*if that*but weekends, its the whole schmere, scrambled eggs, bacon/sausage and griddlecakes...porridge I can deal with...at least until I find a McDonald's, but can someone tell me about black or white pudding, please??

Black and white puddings are enough to make you become vegetarian if you aren't already!

Okay, the white pudding doesn't sound bad at all...just have to make sure when I'm making reservation inquiries that they don't serve black pudding at brekkers, thanks, Kathy
