Cafe Crepe

So I heard about this little cafe in town. My friend Mike found it his first day here, when he couldn't quite get into his room yet. And he's been talking about it a couple times. So yesterday I decided to go check it out. It's called Cafe Crepe, and it may just be my favorite place in Glasgow haha. Their breakfast is incredible. It costs 4.25 (which is about $6), and you get bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, black pudding, toast, a potato scone, and coffee/tea (don't worry, I got coffee haha...haven't quite gotten used to this idea of hot tea that isn't sweet). First I need to explain some of these things. Bacon over here isn't the bacon we think of. It's like 2 big slabs of ham. Bacon isn't thin and crispy, it's big, thick, and juicy. Sooooo good. Sausage isn't always the same either. Sausage links are the same as we have, but their sausage patties are way different. I don't even know how to explain it. It's really weird to think about having beans with breakfast, because it basically looks like baked beans (and kinda tastes like them too, but the sauce isn't as strong). But they are pretty good. The potato scone might be my new favorite dish here. It isn't what you think of as a typical scone, it's more like a potato cake, very good. Now for the black pudding. When I first ate this, I didn't know what it was, but I kinda knew it was one of those things where I didn't want to know what it was. Well it actually tasted pretty good! Then I got home and looked up what exactly it is. It is also known as blood pudding, if that tells you anything. They make it by cooking blood (usually pig or cow blood) with a filler until it is thick enough to cool into a patty. So it doesn't exactly sound appetizing, but I knew if I just ate it without trying to figure out what it was, I would get a realistic taste of what it was like, and it was pretty good.
Anyways, this Cafe Crepe is so good. Great food, a lot of food, for real cheap. I can't wait to go back and try their sweet crepes. They have tons of fillings, and its basically just like a dessert. Mm, I can't wait to try it. Apparently it's a new place and they're kinda struggling for business. As I was sitting there eating, I thought about how they would definitely get more of my business and how I was going to tell everyone I knew to come try it. They'll have more business soon haha. To prove that, Mike and I woke up early this morning before class and went there for breakfast. Once again, very good. Just a great way to start the day, and a genuine taste of Scotland...
