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 […]

I was in my geography class today and the professor put up a slide that had the word “towards” on it. I thought about how he should have used the word “toward” instead because “towards” is the British version of the word. And then I realized that I was in Britain, and it made me […]
