        Bro, you need to define the word “crunch” because … NONE of that looks like it has even the slightest bit of crunch.

          Crunchy rind, chewy meat probably. Op probably enjoys their bacon tasting like meat rather that crunchy fire.

      Not positive, but I believe other countries often refer to American style bacon as streaky bacon due to the ratio of fat on the slices.

        Some people cook their bacon until it’s as rigid and dry as cardboard for some reason.

          And others of us cook it until it’s actually done, there is a middle ground ya know. It can be crispy and chewy without being rubbery, slimy, cold garbage like we see here.

      You take all of a sheep’s organs, and put them in it’s own stomach, and boil it.

      What’s shown looks more like black pudding, though it could be a ground haggis sausage. Black pudding is a blood sausage using the pigs blood and binders like barley.

        If that doesn’t make you hungry, I dunno what will.

        They also had black pudding (tried that before and it’s pretty tasty). This was similar. I don’t know if it was authentic, but it was quite tasty.

          It probably is. A closer look it seems like it’s a ground haggis filling. Good stuff.

              That looks like the haggis we get here in Glasgow.

              It’s always looked like that. You mostly see the texture of the oats instead of the pluck.

              I highly recommend veggie haggis though. Seriously, it’s good food.

                  According to McSween’s website, their haggis contains:

                  Oats, Water, Vegetable Margarine (Palm Oil, Rapeseed Oil, Water, Salt, Emulsifier (E471), Flavouring), Black Kidney Beans (10%), Carrot (5%), Swede (5%), Mushrooms, Red Split Lentils (5%), Rehydrated Onions, Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Salt, Ground Spices.

                I assume whole organ haggis has gone out of fashion in most places in favour of the ground sort?

                  I’m not sure what you mean by “whole organ” haggis. I haven’t seen anything different to what I’ve described in the last 50 years.

                  The stuff we have still has pluck… The offal, but it’s always minced.

                  Can you find a picture of it? I’d be really interested in seeing if I can get hold of some to try.

      Not familiar with English/Scottish breakfast I take it. Wait til you hear about beans on toast.

        Hispanics too. Nothing like some scrambled eggs with salsa, some fresh baked pinto beans, a slice of queso fresco, and hot corn tortillas for breakfast.

            Did you ever get the rice with the black beans in it growing up? We never ate it, but then I went to a Korean restaurant and they were serving it.

              OMG, I completely forgot about that. We never ate it at home, but when I visited family in Korea, we had it every meal. Never cared for it.

              Oh and I just remembered red bean paste, love that stuff.

                  The powdery rice cakes with the red bean paste in the middle. Yum. Oh how could I forget Chajangmyun! Although that’s Chinese originally. Is that the same black beans as in the rice?

          We get the Bandeja from a Columbian place fairly regularly for breakfast, and it comes with beans and rice. Heavenly.

          Red beans are tastier though. Queso fresco, a ladle of fried red beans, a sunny side up egg, couple tortillas, half of an avo with a sprinkle of lime juice, salt, and pepper. A cup of strained coffee.

          Not my favorite breakfast though, choripan takes the cake for me

            I grew up on pintos, but to be honest I can’t seem to taste the difference between red, black, or pintos. I’ve never had good fresh ones, just the canned stuff. Aside from pintos, that is. Always had those fresh.
