Breakfast All Day
Having an excellent Latte in Duns I was intrigued to see that the menu had as its entry at Number 1 : 'Full English Breakfast' 'English Breakfast! What would Rabbi B have made of that? International Cuisine is all very fine and dandy but an English label is pushing it a bit in Duns Scotusville. I looked down the menu-no Scottish equivalent and I must say I am not quite sure what you add to a very full English spread to make it particularly Scottish. A bit of Haggis on the side? And at least the FEB is a much healthier option when compared with the fearsome fatty Ulster Fry. One of those is just about managable but if you indulge next day your are heading for a Coroners as my old golfing partner used to say
And he was right.
Struck down at the first on a famous Irish golfing links. And no doubt he would have said, if he could: 'What a waste of the green fee' And he was an Ulster Fry man. 'Nothing quite like it' he claimed.
Right.
Dead Right.

A Scotch one normally uses square sausage (Lorne if you fancy yourself as the next celeb chef) and potato scones/farls - in place of a regular banger and fried sliced potatoes
