Over the border....line

Whilst visiting family in Aberdeen we went out for a breakfast and on the menu it said "Full Scottish Breakfast" which had exactly the same contents as a "Full English" .... now having visited many countries in Europe and the States its always called "Full English".

My question is 'Are we really that hated North of the border?'

I would expect a Scottish breakfast to include square sausage, tattie scones and haggis so it's different from an English breakfast

Square Sausage, Tattie scones and haggis is usually the only difference between both

Never known a FULL Scottish Breakfast to not include ALL of the above

Exactly this. A full English abd a full Scottish ate not the same thing

We were in Belfast and they did a Full Irish Breakfast, it looked the same but Irish ingredients. Did the Scottish one come with Iron Bru?

Seems to me the content of an English Breakfast can very depending on who's cooking it just the same as a Scottish breakfast or an Ulster Fry. However you'd assume they put some kind of typical product on there that people identify with Scotland like you said. Maybe serve it with a 75cl bottle of buckfast to help kick start the day

Down here we don't have black or white pudding on our full English. That's a northern English breakfast.

Hash browns weren't a thing growing up either.

We've always called it a fry up. I don't think it's called a full English in many cafes around here either.

Probably much like yonder premier inn always has either full English or 'continental', I'm imagining places with a range of items on the menu, of which Full English is a pretty common breakfast standard in many places other than England. Seeing it isn't the same as ordering it.

Fairly lucky, the bloke that runs the kitchen is a Scot, I like that he has brought a bit of the Highlands into the middle of Derbyshire. Makes a change.

If you had a Welsh breakfast, you would also have laverbread with it, it is an edible sea.

Nicer than it sounds.

I would expect that to have soda bread so different again. Mind you, hard to find a good basic cafe these days now Belfast has become more gentrified.
