We liked to eat them with baked beans, but we have in the past had them as part of a full Scottish Breakfast. It is a pick and choose thing, some of the ingredients are: toast, baked beans, fried/grilled tomatoes or mushrooms, fried eggs, fried potatoes, veggie sausages and potato scones. Yum! Although if we did have some of that for brunch we would grill most things to cut down on the fat, including the toast which is traditionally fried too!Jacqueline Meldrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748535381400208316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-67252000402016646362008-10-03T17:34:00.000-07:002008-10-03T17:34:00.000-07:00You do have a way with potatoes, that is for sure....You do have a way with potatoes, that is for sure.
