For the bargain basement price of £3.95 ($6.24) we got to eat two bangers, two wide strips of bacon, two toasts, two hashbrowns, an egg, baked beans, and a generous scoop of haggis. I had to infer the existence of vegetable matter somewhere on this island, if only because the animals on my plate had to be eating something that (hopefully) wasn't other animals.
Maybe it's that I had been continuously in transit for 29 hours the previous day, or maybe it was that I hadn't eaten anything in the past 17 hours save for a handful of cashews. Anyway, I felt like a champ after getting some much needed sleep and was excited by the prospect of devouring a heaping helping of some much needed food.
Seeing the steaming pile of meats arrive before me, I felt deep in my heart that something was very right about this moment. I'd inhaled about half my food when something felt very wrong.
Needless to say, my food went out about as fast as it went in.

| This is actually a stock photo, sorry. The camera's been broken. This is pretty much what it looked like, down to the triangular hashbrown, but sans tomatoes and whatever that black disc is. |

Some other highlights of the day:
- Finished the rest of my haggis
- Listened to live music at a cozy neighborhood tavern
- Booze snobbery: Tried Macallan 10 year (reminds me a lot of Glenlivet 12 year) and Deuchar's IPA (an Edinburgh microbrew that's too sweet with not enough hops)
- Visited the Scottish National Gallery and some some arts (new and old)
- Shopped for food at Tesco. Fruit and vegetables were never meant to be covered in plastic or exorbitantly expensive. California is awesome.
