Ferintosh style is what I remember my Granny serving up, but two eggs, and minus the baked beans & mushrooms though. Porridge& hot milk of course started off the meal.
(I used to slip the black pudding to mum, like eating a big scab; Eeeeew!)

It's likely that most Scottish breakfasts usually consisted of porridge or oatmeal.

It's much like the standard greasy Irish breakfast! Make sure you have a couple of paramedics on standby with a defibrillator on hand!

Ahh! Vegemite, God's gift to Oz! On toast, it was a given at every breakfast. Yum!

That cut of bacon back home we called "Shoulder rashers" (Rarely seen here in California), the FDA wants us dead of Cholesterol, hence 'Middle Rashers" with lots of fat are all one can usually find in Supermarkets. I think I saw some once in Trader Joes, but a long time ago.

I was just going to ask, "Where's the oatmeal?" But you beat me to 't.

I've been getting really good (very little fat) bacon at CostCo lately. It's their house brand and has a good flavor too. I get it for our Lodge breakfasts, and really it's too much quantity for most families to buy. I think the easiest way for me to approximate the "Scottish" bacon, would be for me to buy a nice Virginia ham and slice it up.

Vegimite is sold in the local Albertson's supermarket here. everything else seems to be totally do-able.

Thanks all.

Drooling at the memory already and looking forward to my next Ferintosh breakfast!

And, of course, every good breakfast needs a cup of tea, some beer, some good Scotch, and a bit of whiskey! OH, WAIT...maybe that's just in my family!!
