Whilst visiting family in Aberdeen we went out for a breakfast and on the menu it said "Full Scottish Breakfast" which had exactly the same contents as a "Full English" .... now having visited many countries in Europe and the States its always called "Full English".
My question is 'Are we really that hated North of the border?' |

"I would expect a Scottish breakfast to include square sausage, tattie scones and haggis so it's different from an English breakfast"
Exactly, but this wasn't any of them |

Square Sausage, Tattie scones and haggis is usually the only difference between both
Never known a FULL Scottish Breakfast to not include ALL of the above

"I would expect a Scottish breakfast to include square sausage, tattie scones and haggis so it's different from an English breakfast"
Exactly this. A full English abd a full Scottish ate not the same thing |

Seems to me the content of an English Breakfast can very depending on who's cooking it just the same as a Scottish breakfast or an Ulster Fry. However you'd assume they put some kind of typical product on there that people identify with Scotland like you said. Maybe serve it with a 75cl bottle of buckfast to help kick start the day  |

We've always called it a fry up. I don't think it's called a full English in many cafes around here either.

"Down here we don't have black or white pudding on our full English. That's a northern English breakfast.
Hash browns weren't a thing growing up either.
"
Your right, black pudding isn't a london thing, but was optional |

I agree, other regional variations can include: soda bread and fruit pudding |

Probably much like yonder premier inn always has either full English or 'continental', I'm imagining places with a range of items on the menu, of which Full English is a pretty common breakfast standard in many places other than England. Seeing it isn't the same as ordering it. |

"There's a place not far from me that does a Scottish breakfast, it's lush
I'm not saying it isn't, "
Fairly lucky, the bloke that runs the kitchen is a Scot, I like that he has brought a bit of the Highlands into the middle of Derbyshire. Makes a change.  |

Was absolutely lovely black pudding as well  |
