Enjoy a Perthshire Breakfast
Having undertaken a Perthshire Breakfast cookery course at Let's Cook in Abernethy in 2009 we were delighted to be asked in 2010 to take part in the Perthshire Breakfast pilot scheme which is now being rolled out. The scheme is to promote the use of locally sourced and seasonal produce from Perthshire. We are very fortunate to have on our doorstep an unbeatable natural larder and many local producers. A Perthshire Breakfast makes the most of this bounty.
We have a substantial cold buffet table where you can help yourself to a selection of items:
A wide range of cereals including homemade granola
Fruit Juices
Yogurt (Scottish Rowan Glen Fruit and/or homemade natural)
Homemade fruit compotes, poached prunes/apricots and of course in season
raspberries and strawberries. Blairgowrie is 'The Berry Capital of
Scotland'
Scottish Cheeses
Homemade scones, muffins, cake etc.
Hot from the kitchen:
A bowl of oatmeal porridge (oats from Gloagburn Farm) with perhaps sugar and cream and a nip of Edradour whisky.
Choose your own combination of:
Grilled Bacon (Silver award winning low salt back bacon)
Pork Sausage
Tomato
Scottish mushrooms/hand-picked Chanterelles in season
Fried Bread
Pan fried Apple
Homemade Tattie Scone
Black Pudding
Haggis Pudding
Eggs: Fried, Scrambled, Poached or Boiled (from my own hens)
The Classic:
1 or 2 Scottish breakfast rolls filled with bacon and topped with a fried
egg.
We have other breakfast choices depending what is available or in season.
All served with homemade toasted bread, Oatcakes and of course Coffee, Scottish Breakfast Tea, Fruit Infusions or Hot Chocolate.
Homemade Marmalade and Jam and local honey and other sauces all available.
