Is it any wonder that Scotland is such an unhealthy nation when the diet is so bad....and delicious?

On the last morning of my visit to Edinburgh, I sat down to a late and hearty breakfast of haggis, a couple of sausages, two fried eggs, bacon and, I guess as a gesture towards healthy eating, a grilled tomato and a few mushrooms.

Then it was time to buy something for my colleagues so I settled on a couple of boxes of tablet, a unique Scottish sweet made from butter, condensed milk, sugar, sugar and more sugar.

I had an interesting conversation today with Jim Hardy, the new(ish) chef at Pascal's in Edgbaston (it's in the premises that used to be Jessica's).

One of the Scots-born chef's starters is a haggis pakora. It would be easy to dismiss the dish as a novelty but that would be a mistake - first because he's s serious chef with loads of experience, secondly because I tasted the pakora and it was very good.

Look out for the Food + Drink section in Thursday's Mail where there'll be an interview with James.
