During my first week in Edinburgh, I had the pleasure of trying a traditional Scottish breakfast. The Scottish breakfast is a hearty meal that includes tattie scones, sausage, sliced haggis, fried egg, toast, fried tomato slices, baked beans, and fried mushrooms. You may not recognize two of the items in that list: tattie scones and haggis. A tattie scone is a sort of pancake made from mashed potatoes, butter, and flour. You mix these ingredients together and then cook the dough on a griddle. This was my favorite part of the breakfast \u2013 you can\u2019t go wrong with a potato pancake! Haggis is one of Scotland\u2019s famous meat dishes. It is made from sheep\u2019s liver with minced onion, oatmeal, and spices. It is traditionally cooked by encasing the ingredients in the sheep\u2019s stomach and then boiling the stomach with the ingredients inside. I know it doesn\u2019t sound very appetizing, but most cafes have a vegetarian version, which is what I had, and it was very good. After having breakfast in Old Town Edinburgh, we climbed Arthur\u2019s Seat, a large hill that has a great view of the city at the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2rTZtzu\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55065967194_e0318700bb.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2534\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vegetarian Scottish breakfast<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This breakfast was the perfect fuel for a hike, because it was filling but not overly heavy.
