This guide has an interesting idea of what people in Scotland eat for breakfast

  1. I mean I wouldn’t say it’s THE breakfast dish but certainly is a breakfast dish unique to Scotland, though I imagine most folk have it with something else or on a roll.

  2. Personally I think haggis is a breakfast Item. I think its served best with breakfast along side sausages, bacon, eggs.

    That being said though haggis as a main for dinner can be good depending on what your having it with. Haggis Neeps and Tatties and Balmoral Chicken are lovely.

  3. Used to have a haggis and tattie scone roll every morning for years.

  4. I do like a bit of haggis on a breakfast fry up or roll, so it’s not a mile out.

  5. Haggis with fried eggs, (runny yolks), for breakfast is one of my favourites

  6. A slice of haggis as part of a “full Scottish” cooked breakfast would not be unusual.

    Would not want it as a breakfast by itself as implied by the graphic though!

  7. Isn’t Frühstück just German for “breakfast”? Really not sure I trust what they’re saying about the Spanish eating churros and chocolate in the morning. This whole image is rage bait. Everyone knows we have shortbread and heroin for breakfast.

  8. Haggis and bacon sandwich with brown sauce is, the true breakfast of champions.

  9. I have a Tunnock’s tea cake and a can of Tennents Super lager for every meal.

  10. Slice of haggis and black pudding and lorne on bacon in a Morton’s roll = tasty af

  11. “Israel”

    “Shakshouka”

    That shit was there before the Israelis

  12. The fuck you on about? A haggis roll is the breakfast of champions.

  13. Surely porridge would have been the most sensible option to portray to the world.

  14. Ok honestly, have I ever eaten Haggis and only Haggis for breakfast. Like scooped it into a roll, squashed it flat and ate it?

    Yes.

    But can you imagine how hungover I was that day.

    So hungover I did this exact thing at Crieff Hydro on a stag weekend. That is how hungover you have to be to do this.

    A state I have never been in again.

  15. Pancakes are not a breakfast food in Sweden. We have them as dessert when the main is light – or serve them as main for picky eaters and 3-year olds. We don’t really eat cooked breakfasts, apart from porridge. (Swedes who eat porridge tend to enjoy orienteering and cross country skiing. Avoid )

    The typical Swedish breakfast is either an open  cheese sandwich, often on crispbread, or a plate of soured milk (“fil”), with or without some kind of cereal. And by cereal we often mean crispbread broken into small pieces. 

    But it’s alright, because we break for fruit and/or coffee at 11am, lunch at 1pm and fika at 3pm, so we won’t starve until dinner. Assume every meal of the day starts or ends with coffee.

    Breakfast pancakes is a level of indulgence that makes us deeply uncomfortable. You get pancakes for breakfast maybe on your birthday, first day of summer holidays or to cheer you up when the family pet has died. The rest of your life, it’s fil, knäcke and kaffe.

  16. Poland is funny too. I never heard about potato pancakes. Placki Ziemniaczane is tbe closest I can think of, but it’s a different thing and never heard about anyone eating it with Jajecznica.

  17. Don’t completely disagree with haggis as a potential component of breakfast – in the context of this ‘guide’, the English nation would be looking desperate if they all consumed a ‘full English’ each morning – but was curiously searching for Wales’ typical breakfast & it’s not there…was hoping for leeks

  18. Eggs Balmoral or whatever its called when you put Eggs and Hollaindaise on Haggis is pretty fantastic

  19. Tbf haggis on a roll with brown sauce is something I have quite regularly for breakfast

  20. For those of you eating haggis regularly, what is the correct consistency/moisture level?

    I’ve had it served with similar consistency to black pudding, dryish and somewhat solid, all the way to something much closer to meaty porridge, which I though was better. 

  21. In response to the comments, I agree that haggis is a breakfast item. I often eat it as part of a full Scottish or in a toastie. But the impression I took from this ‘guide’ was that they’re thinking Scots just eat a whole haggis on a plate first thing

  22. Surely haggis is classed as a dessert, what with it being great chieftain o’ the puddin’-race… /s

  23. Haggis can be eaten for breakfast but since it says ‘Full English Breakfast’ and not bacon or sausages I’d expect them to also say ‘Scottish Breakfast’

  24. It’s not a breakfast item because who can be bothered to go out and catch a haggis in the morning?

  25. Haggis in the morning, haggis in the evening, haggis at supper time

  26. This is basically tell me a single food you know from a said country

  27. Interesting. But in Scotland you’re more likely to have Porridge than Haggis, and if you do have haggis it would be with a full English/Scottish fry up
