Thanks Carol for the information. I would like a recipe for the cabbage and potatoes if you have one to share. It sounds wonderful. When we were in Ireland a few months back, we were told that the "Irish Breakfast" is not traditional for the Irish, just for the tourists, It sounds like the "Scottish Breakfast" is also for the tourist.

What about fried bread? My Glaswegian mum made fried bread whenever we had fried eggs...

Now I'm going to have to make fried bread and fried eggs tomorrow morning! With HP sauce!

Haggis is quite right in that the traditional English/Scottish/Welsh breakfast is a thing of the past for most people. It was fine for somebody who was about to start a day of hard physical work but I'm probably not unique in starting the day with yoghurt and fruit. HOWEVER when I'm on holiday I have the full monty.<BR>I would disagree about high tea. Afternoon tea is pretty well a thing of the past but high tea is still alive and well in Scotland and the North of England.<BR>BTW this is a wonderful website<BR>2 eggs, sausage, beans, tomatoes,<BR>2 toast, large tea, cheerslove!<BR>http://cheerslove.org

Carol, :-)High tea is a thing of the past? Well, only since last night then! Perhaps it's not served in posh hotels, but in any family (no class distinction)in the North and Midlands.<BR>We used to call ANY mashed vegetable/mashed potato fry-up bubble and squeak, because of the effect it has on your digestion a few hours later.

jahoulih, thank you. That's my lesson for today.<BR><BR>There really in't a recipe for bubble and squeak. It's fried left overs and evey one will like it differently.<BR><BR>When we were kids we had fried breakfast on Sundays and no other time. Now, just when we have visitors. No time, otherwise
