AI summary of what 3 dish mentions say about the food
The Edinburgh Larder’s Full Scottish breakfast earns unanimous praise, with reviewers calling it a hearty, soul-warming plate. The overall vibe is cozy, rustic comfort that feels authentically local.
“The Full Scottish Breakfast is basically the same as the Full English, but with haggis and black pudding. The haggis is really good — it's a sausage made from offal and spices, and for us from Abruzzo it's not that strange because it's very similar to our 'salsicce di coino', even though the ingredients are different. The black pudding, made from blood, is also incredible. The two things that on paper sound the most disgusting are actually the best — I'd come back here every morning just for them. The bacon is good too, and the sausage is okay, but honestly the haggis is better than the sausage. There's also a tattie scone, a kind of pancake made from boiled potatoes, and the beans have a sweetish kick from molasses. Little Larder is highly recommended.”

Toast with Cream Cheese and Portobello Mushrooms
I have a toast with cream cheese and Portobello mushrooms, and I also got an egg — which we can't crack properly as usual. The creamy cheese is delicious, and it goes so well with the mushrooms.
Waffle with Fresh Cheese, Walnuts, Bacon and Caramelized Apples
My mother-in-law devoured a fantastic waffle with fresh cheese, walnuts, bacon and caramelized apples — I don't know if we managed to film it before her voracity took over.
