Scotish Breakfast!

[n3vrmind]

So im up where its even colder and rainer for a few days at the behest of work

I goto the hotel restaurant this morning and Im offered a choice of continental or scotish breakfasts, no english breakfast? i ask, only scotish is the reply

So i order my scotish breakfast and frankly im disappointed, theres not a haggis in sight! in fact its all the same ingredients as you would find in an english breakfast just not cooked as nicely

Would anyone else find this slightly naieve and a tiny bit insulting, to just take an english breakfast and label it as scotish without the slightest bit of effort to change it in some way to include something of scotland, its like the british claiming they invented curry. Is there something so broken about the current state of scotland that they are so nationalistic they have to deny any good things that might have come from being part of the UK

Best cooked breakfast I ever had was a full Scottish in a B+B in Edinburgh. Perfect poached eggs, haggis, black pudding, local meats etc.

Not sure I understand the OP exactly. A 'Scottish' and an 'English' are essentially synonyms for 'cooked breakfast' in those two countries. It's a little cringeworthy that the former was offered and the latter was requested as a substitute when essentially they're the same thing with minor (or in this case no) differences.

It was fairly light hearted, but I was expecting there to be something scotish about it, im not against the idea of a scotish breakfast I was lookin forward to it, i was disappointed
