Edinburgh Meals

Meals in Edinburgh

There are 3 square meals a day in Edinburgh; however they are all very close together. Breakfast is between 8.00 and 9.30. Lunch 12.30 – 13.30 and dinner is from 17.00 – 18h00. And on Saturday the dinner is 16.30. Spot the problem..

So at the moment I do not attend all meals as i) I am just not hungry by the next meal ii) I need rest. J The meals are fairly healthy. They have good cereals, including muesli, coco pops, frosties and all bran. Yoghurt is always there as well as croissants. The main meal usually consists of Egg, bacon, haggis, black pudding, square sausage, sausage, beans and soda bread. The pumpkin seeds, and pine nuts are always out.

The milk here is particularly good so been cutting out coffee in the morning (mostly) and substituting it for milk. Have only had 2 cups of coffee in the last 2 weeks at the dining hall. Each meal has a Starter/ Salad Main and desert/yoghurt. Food is good, but on occasion I will have a cheese burger or scots pie in the Dungeon after the first part of the show.

Having a packed dinner is often a good thing as you are able to have it while tuning up at the top part of the castle.
