Breakfast in SCOTLAND
Scottish contributions to the breakfast table in the British Isles include oatcakes, scones, and Arbroath smokies. Scones are very much like biscuits and are traditionally cut into wedge shapes before baking. Oatcakes, also called bannocks, are made with a mixture of oat and barley flour, then baked on a griddle. Scots are, if possible, even a little better known for eating oatmeal in the morning than the British or the Irish; popular additions to morning porridge are sugar, cream, and black treacle. Arbroath smokies are made of small haddock that are gutted, then tied together in pairs and either salted or pickled in brine before being smoked over a peat fire. They are eaten with with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkling of black pepper, accompanied by brown bread and butter.
