Breakfast

I had a bit of bannock the other night at home, made to the recipe under the Articles page. I had some smokey bacon in the fridge too, tesco rubbish but it tasted OK. I made some coffee and really enjoyed a simple meal. I reckon it will become a staple on my trips out due to the simplicity of making it. The bannock soaks up the bacon fat nicely! Mmmmmmmm!

My thoughts on square sausage: Genius! It's the perfect shape to slap between two bits of buttered bread with some brown sauce and maybe a fried egg. Perfect!

Square sausage, potato scone and a fried egg served with a dod of brown sauce in a crispy morning roll - another fine Scots invention

Aye, it's right up there with deep-fried pizza.

Going off at an angle here but.
Does anyone else here take milk along by part freezing it and pouring it into a (steel) thermos?

No but I'm going to try it now, thanks for the idea.

Re: Square sausages. Are they available in the Midlands? Is there a Brand name Please.

I'm curious how you cooked the bannock at home? Just on the hob, in a pan?

p.s. Square sausages, from experience are horrible things - low meat content, high fat content, full of rusk and other fillers... Much better off with proper sausages full of lovely meat (I buy mine from a farm shop in Alvingham, Lincolnshire when I visit my folks )

Exactly that, cook it on a low heat in the pan, and turn it over now and then until it is cooked through. I made one just after that post with bacon and egg. I was gonna take a picture for you all, but I couldn't find a camera quicker than the smell of bacon tempting me, so you all dipped out! Yum! Yum!

ask your butcher for them Haiku. they used to sell "lorne" sausage at CoOp.

If you do, don't let it get past 'slushy', if you start getting long ice crystals forming it gone just a little too far, let it warm up a bit or it might freeze in the bottle (or around the sides anyway)

actually i find that frozem milk stays solid in the middle and thaws from the outside. Tastes fine though the water stays frozen long after the milk thaws and it seems to make the milk tase better. You can freeze it in the plastic bottles with no worries - the bottle doenst split or anything.

cheers
