Black and White Puddings

[Jack Daw]

Here is one of the best Scottish breakfasts I had, out of several great ones.
This is from The Water of Leith cafe in Edinburgh.


Clockwise from the beans at the top, a sausage and you can see the bacon right under peeking out. Pancetta seems too thin to me, but procuitto might be closer. IMO, "Canadian bacon" (as available in California) or a thin cut piece of ham would be closest. Toast and tomato next. Potato scone, then black pudding and haggis with a roasted mushroom at top-left of the beans. A fried egg in the center. Scottish breakfast tea and brown sauce accompanied.

Potato scones really are wonderful with breakfast. I hear they are easy to make, so will be trying that.

YUM! For my first time in Scotland in 2003, I ate this almost everyday for the three weeks I was there vacationing. I gained 10 pounds despite burning lots of calories hiking Ben Cruachan and hiking about cemeteries, moors, and battlefields. It was worth it!
