It is a lot of food! In England, they are big on the beans, but in Scotland and Wales, my breakfast did not have beans. Every breakfast I have had did have some core ingredients, though, like eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and hashbrowns. Tomatoes are one of my least favorite foods, but the way they are cooked in a traditional breakfast is amazing. They are grilled but soft on the inside and the seasoning is so good.
The most adventurous meal I have tried in the UK so far was in Scotland, where I tried haggis and Cullen skink. Haggis is Scotland’s national dish, it is made of heart/liver/lung of lamb, beef or lamb mince, suet, oatmeal and onion, with some additional spices to add heat. Cullen skink, on the other hand, was less adventurous but still important for me to try since it is also a traditional Scottish dish. It is a creamy soup made from smoked haddock, potatoes and onions. Do you think you would try either of these dishes?
I had fish and chips for the first time in a pub in London, and had very high expectations. I was super excited to try it, but also didn’t know what to expect entirely. Sometimes, when the fish is super fresh, it still has bones in it, so I was a little nervous that I was going to be given a fried fish with bones. I can be adventurous, but the idea of fish bones is a little too much for me. Luckily, every fish and chips I have tried has not had bones in it. Would you ever eat fish with bones in it?
The traditional English breakfast was also a good experience for me, it has become my go to choice. I remember the first time I had it, I was shocked by how orange the egg yolks were.
