Previously I mentioned our Rick Steves look alike guide from the Harry Potter tour. As we were hurrying down the street to the pub crawl, I noticed a young couple walking up towards us, and noticed the guy was our tour. I mentioned that to Cathy. She had not seen him because she was looking at the lass, thinking how she looked like Jenny Weasley. How funny, a Harry Potter tour guide whose girlfriend looks like a Harry Potter character.
The pub tour was fantastic. We walked from pub to pub with two actors who debated throughout, in a humorous fashion, the inspirations and characters of Edinburgh writers Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, and Robert Louis Stevenson. It was simply a delight, and so much augments our appreciation of the city and Scotland.
Now, back to food....we had lunch at a pub, and decided to go traditional. Being more adventurous, Cathy ordered the haggis, neeps and tatties. The haggis was not bad, though the spice combination wasn't particularly appealing to me. The neeps (mashed turnips) were surprisingly good. Kinda like sweet potatoes. The tatties (mashed potatoes) were good as well. I had a steak and ale pie, although it wasn't in pie form. The beef stew and mashed potatoes were the definition of comfort food.
Now earlier in the day to breakfast. We ate at Urban Angel because found two articles that listed it in the top ten breakfast places in the city. Cathy and I both ordered French toast and bacon. The bacon portions were far to large. Since CT didn't like how they were cooked, she gave me her share, so I had double the large portions. Elizabeth wouldn't help me out. She had two poached eggs. Though they looked like, well, lets not go there.
