How’s scottish breakfast different from an english breakfast



A full Scottish breakfast is generally more robust than a full English, distinguished by the addition of regional staples like
Lorne (square) sausage, tattie (potato) scones, and haggis. While both feature eggs, bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, and tomatoes, the Scottish version focuses on these distinct, savory, and often spicier additions.

Key Differences:
  • Sausage: Scottish breakfasts often feature Lorne sausage (a flat, square, seasoned beef/pork sausage) rather than, or in addition to, traditional pork links.
  • Starch: Instead of hash browns (common in English breakfasts), Scottish breakfasts include tattie scones (potato scones).
  • Specialty Items: Haggis (savory pudding) and fruit pudding are commonly added to a full Scottish, while white pudding is also more prevalent.
  • Flavor Profile: The Scottish version is often described as having a more intense, savory flavor due to the spices in the sausage and the inclusion of haggis.

That's a LOT of food! 😳🤯
 
Slow day today. But did get into the shop for some small projects. Had to make a tiny replacement unobtainaum part, and somehow managed to pull it off. So, that was the accomplishment for the day. One part about the size of a toothpick. Not exactly high production! 😂

Now feeling lazy. Might watch another of the recent Jurassic Park or Jurassic world movies. They really aren't that good, but the old brain isn't up for much more tonight.

For anyone feeling ambitious, ran across a 50 year old Hershey coco powder tin the other day. I've had this cake, it's pretty good.

Why do chocolate cake recipes ALWAYS include coffee as an ingredient??? 😤😤

I know they say the coffee enhances the chocolate flavor. Well, you know what else enhances chocolate? MORE CHOCOLATE!!!

They also say one can't taste the coffee. I can always taste the coffee! 🤢

I'll try this cake but substitute a cup of strong cocoa.
 
Methods to manage sinusitis:

Hot w wash cloth on hurting areas.

Drink LOTS of fluids! Not just water but also soups and teas.

Take a hot shower and massage both above your eyes and just below the cheekbones. This, combined with the steam, will help loosen the junk in your sinuses.

Sinus rinse or Nettipot


Try gargling with warm salt water if you have a sore throat from post-nasal drip.

REST! Get as much sleep as you can.
Perfect, B2! You've been paying attention in class! 🥰🥰😘
 
Finally warned up here, but really windy today. One car needed an oil change, so it got that. But need to pick more for the next one. Usually keep enough for half a dozen changes.

This time change has me all messed up. Not a fan.

Found out a neighbor fell off his roof and died not too long ago. Snow shoveling can be dangerous...

Feeling lazy today. Time to put some cardio in, so I can say I wasn't lazy all day...
Please be careful up on the roof! Every winter we would have half a dozen or so old guys in our ICU with head injury from falling off the roof. Usually putting up/taking down Christmas lights. 🤕🥺😢
 
@Greylag i made cottage pie.... i fancied it up and made the mashed potato topping cheesy.... i used what i had

I probably offended everyone in or on the british isles.... but its delicious

And i called it cottage pie cause i used beef
You have not offended at all. Cottage pie as I like it I’d just as you describe … sometimes add a little carrot and onion to the beef mince. I top with good quality grated mature cheese once cooked and just melt in to a light brown crust.

Fortunately the Management has returned from her jaunt to see our grandson so normal service has returned. I can hang up my pinafore, oven gloves and pink marigolds!

My go-to recipe for shepherd's pie (or substitute minced beef for cottage pie)

Happy women’s day ladies!!

Busy day today.

Delivered a 1/2 cord of wood. Then split a full cord. Then went w our neighbors to a club and saw some hardcore and ska bands. Ran into a shit ton of people I hadn’t seen in ages.

Great day and nite had by all.

7 bands, $45. Good deal.
The Take are one of my faves.

the Pietasters are not only a great ska bands, but also a great soul
Band. Full horn section.

And Murphy’s Law are the prototypical hardcore band from NYC. Jimmy G always brings it.


Horn sections blow.
