"Just chuck it all in the pan!"

There is breakfast and then there is the english -or scottish- breakfast. This morning we had one of those cooked -let me call it british- breakfasts where it is the best; at Hazel and Ricky's house in Edinburgh. We've also had some around the country and even in Hong Kong we can get it, but not like when Ricky cooks it. 2 year ago I had my first of Ricky's big fry ups, and I was watching him taking all the ingredients out of the fridge and put it on the table, and as I asked him if I could help and how, he just nodded and said; "Just chuck it all in the pan!" To make a decent bite to eat in the morning you need; (clock wise from the top, and Rickey's version)black pudding, pork sausages, haggis, white pudding and bacon. Then not in the picture, eggs, baked beans, mushrooms and some tomatoes. And then let us watch Ricky over his shoulder as he --chucks everything in the pan. Remember to open all windows to the outside and close all doors to every other room on the inside of your house if you want to make this dish at home.When all ingresdients has turned brown or well done, they are arranged on the plates and served very warm, remember to put the most important ingredient in the british cousine on the table as well; the ketchup bottle and the HP sauce. Normally you can also have hash brownies and tattie scones and even toast to a cooked breakfast, but on this day we were not into such cheap tricks.And at the end, this is what you get, and for sure you will need no other food for about 12 hours. But remember. do not -like Ricky on these Photos- wear your favourite white t-shirt when handling the frying pans, because this shirt went straight in to the washing machine.

Hallo Jørgen, ich hoffe dass du auch einmal von der schottischen Spezialität "Marmite" gekostet hast. Ich habe es versucht. Meine Laborbericht dazu:
