Taking a Scottish Breakfast Favourite One Step Further Traditional Scottish rolls and sausage with cheese, beans, onion and tattie scone This was a total spur of the moment experiment which I'm please to say worked very well. My original intention was simply to have a couple of rolls and sausage for brunch one day last weekend but then I remembered I had a couple of tattie (potato) scones requiring to be used up.  Tattie scones are a common addition to rolls and suasage in Scotland of course (particularly in Glasgow and surrounding areas) but perhaps the only further common addition would be either tomato ketchup or brown sauce. I decided on this occasion to take matters a little bit further in the name of food experimentation and enhancement. Sliced sausages are firstly gently fried in oil Ingredients (Serves One) 2 sliced/Lorne sausage Vegetable oil for frying 2 tablespoons baked beans in tomato sauce 6 slices Scottish cheddar cheese, or as required 2 tattie scones 1/2 a small on...

A Perfect Blend of Traditional and Modern Fast Food Sweet Thai chilli stir fried veg is added to Scottish rolls and sausage A roll and sausage is of course a hugely popular foodstuff in Scotland, especially for breakfast. As delicious as it almost always is, however, it is usually quite a simple affair, with a fried or grilled (broiled) sliced sausage on a bread roll and perhaps some fried onions and brown or tomato sauce to add a bit of taste, variety or excitement. I love experimenting with this humble Scottish foodstuff, however, devising new toppings for the sausages and new ways to embellish the creation. The possibilities are so numerous and interesting - just like American burgers in so many ways. This was perhaps my most outlandish attempt for a while and although it was super tasty and scrumptious, I probably wouldn't recommend it for breakfast. This is definitely an evening meal recipe suggestion! Note that although I was only (as usual) cooking for one, the smallest quan...

Black pudding Lorne sausages on rolls with fried peppers and onion A roll and sausage is usually considered a fairly unhealthy item, almost like the Scottish equivalent of a burger. If you think about it, though, and break down a roll and sausage in to component parts, it needn't be quite as unhealthy as you first think. For example, if you buy low quality sausages and white rolls packed full of salt and sugar, spread the rolls thickly with salted butter, fry the sausages in lard and squeeze on a great glug of tomato ketchup before closing the rolls over, you are going to have a pretty unhealthy production. Sure, I agree it will taste great - but the saturated fat, salt and sugar in your light breakfast/lunch is probably more than you should consume in the course of several days! So how can we make a roll and sausage healthier but still enjoy it every bit as much? Don't believe it's possible? Why not give this idea a try? Blackheart Lorne sausages see black pudding stuffed ...
