Full Scottish Breakfast

Posted by Kalie on October 19, 2009

I now know why Scotland is known to be one of the unhealthiest nations in Europe.  In Glasgow I tried my first full Scottish breakfast (at a German restaurant, ironically).  My breakfast included two types of bread, a fried tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, sausages, bacon, black pudding, and tea.  Black pudding, you ask?  According to Wikipedia, black pudding is also known as blood pudding.  It is a type of sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled.  Yum, right?  I took a bite of it, and that was all I could handle.  It wasn’t too bad (it was actually similar to haggis), but the thought of it being dried blood was too much for me.  I managed to eat everything else on my plate.  Because of that, I could feel my arteries beginning to clog from all the unhealthy tastiness (you only live once, right?).
