Scottish Eggs and Other Yummy Tidbits!

Eggs Benedict... Scot style. That's salmon between the poached eggs and the baguette!

Clock wise from the silver dish... smoked salmon, bridies (little tenderloin stuffed pastry puffs),
Scotch eggs, and sausage rolls.


Well, I must admit, we like food. And some of the food we like is rather unique. Today was one of those "unique" dining experiences. We visited a place in St. Louis called "The Scottish Arms", a restaurant/pub specializing in authentic Scottish food and pub grub. They have a Sunday Brunch there that was AMAZING! (Cock-a-leeky pie anyone?) So of course, I had to bring out my phone and take photos of our plates. The food was as yummy as it was strange looking. I had a Scottish take on Eggs Benedict...they called it the Seamus MacBennedict; however, instead of Canadian Bacon on the entree there was smoked salmon! It was GREAT! Ed had the "Highland Hangover", a delightful sampler plate which included sausage rolls, bridies, salmon, and Scotch eggs. Everything was so good that we've decided we have to go back at dinnertime someday. They have Fullers, Guiness, and Newcastle all on tap... and all of those go much better with dinner than breakfast! For just a little while it felt like we were in Edinburgh again! Lovely!
