What food is usually eaten for breakfast in Scotland?

Answer 1

Two quintisentially Scottish breakfast dishes are fried haggis (stuffed sheep stomach) and Lorne sausage, which is molded in a square pan rather than stuffed into casings. Other breakfast dishes you will find in Scotland include several that are common throughout the British Isles (with variations) include potato scones, black pudding, back bacon, oatcakes, kippers, and porridge. Several Scottish breakfast dishes that are also common in the US include toast, eggs, hash-brown potatoes and grilled tomatoes.

It is made from sheep's offal (pluck) which is chopped finely, mixed with toasted oatmeal then sewn into the sheep's stomach lining and boiled for 3 hours.

Shortbread is another well known sweet eaten by the Scottish. It is typically an easy recipe to prepare with very few ingredients.

Dundee is another traditional sweet and is one of the recipes provided in the bakery & sweets link in this answer.

Love Apple Soup (aka tomato soup) is common in the Scottish cuisine as is Cock-a-Leekie Soup, both recipes also in the links provided.
