You know what you can do with your lorne sausage, Mook.

He'd have to fold it first.

That’s up there with the worst in the thread.

Just had some beautiful scrambled eggs with pancetta and chives, atop some Talking Heads fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-farls

Sounds like a once in a lifetime breakfast.

Was it @Remmie who advocated halloumi on a breakfast as a salty alternative to bacon? I'm sure I poopooed it but, having just had halloumi and poached eggs for breakfast, can confirm it works. 

[Pidge]

How about, halloumi, eggs and bacon?

 

Just improved your breakfast by 100%.

Could it be fisted in from the centre of the patty?

Magnificent.

 

Fair play to any establishment charging money for that plate of stuff.

[Bjornebye]

Im proud that I'm the only breakfast on here of the year so far to come out with any credit. Fuck you Pidge.

I like how cursory their effort to put the bread on the plate is.

The mushrooms look like they have been fried in bin juice.

I may not have invented the concept but I'm claiming all royalties.

Halloumi for breakfast is ace. 

Just not on a fry up.

I’m up in Edinburgh with my missus and staying in leith, ant particular recommendations for brekkie?

 

walked home past an Italian restaurant that does a breakfast menu, including full Scottish, so that’s on the cards as a maybe if we don’t find somewhere better, but recon you’ll know between you.

The City Cafe on The Bridges is good. As is the Roseburn Cafe but that's a proper greasy spoon place (& the other end of town).

 

I'm never in Leith so can't really help there although The Foot of the Walk does a Weatherspoons-type fry up which is ok for the money. There will be a place at the shore that'll do a good one, loads of nice wee places to eat round there.

I assume you mean "The Fit Ay the Walk"

Decided to try a local café for the first time as a birthday, day-off special this morning. Bit of a mixed bag but mostly good.

 

2 eggs - good, rich, proper fucking runny.

2 rashers of bacon - lovely, thick and salty but slightly undercooked fat, slightly.

2 sausages - a bit cheap but ok.

Black pudding - good.

Fried bread - excellent, clearly cooked in the bacon fat.

Mushrooms, tomatoes - standard.

Beans - could have done with a few more minutes to thicken the sauce but, obviously, a delight to have on the plate.

 

Not in shot are two slices of excellent buttery white toast.

 

7.5/10

 

£8 with coffee.

 

Didn't go with the in-laws yesterday (mother-in-law had baked an amazing lemon drizzle cake, so we ate that instead) so the wife and I went for a brekkie this morning. We returned to the cafe above. Almost word for word the same review - good value, very filling. They've upped their black pudding game but the sausages are still a bit cheap. Quality 6.5/10, cost 8.50/10, overall 7.5/10.

Ended up wondering towards the Edinburgh and seeing what we came across.

 

walked past two or three hipsterish places before settling for a little Italian deli called Cafe Bellina.

 

full Scottish breakfast for £7.90, plus coffee extra.

 

bloody delicious.

 

Sausages were much meatier and tastier than I thought they’d be when I first saw them. Bacon was cooked perfectly. Haggis was really nice and peppery, though I’m no connoisseur.

 

toast (not pictured) came a little late, and with rock hard packet butter, but was nice. 

 

A solid 8/10, possibly 8.5 given what I think is a totally reasonable price. 

 

Missus had pancakes with bacon and syrup, cause she’s a bit of a cunt. Said it was nice.

Haloumi is fantastic.

Canned crushed tomatoes don’t look the most appetising, and what’s hiding behind the toasts?

I’m a big fan of haggis in general. Obviously I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure they’ve done the beans to perfection there. Is that right @Captain Turdseye?
