Ach-y-fi!
I share your scepticism re the BBC; or maybe I'm being unfair to their reporters. Apologies.
No, you are not being unfair. Sky seems to be more balanced.
Hey, it does taste good, sliced and fried and served with a full breakfast. Wouldn't eat it boiled though.
Never had any. The description is enough to put me off. I'll stick to cawl and laverbread
Délicieux.

Get up north, do the whisky trail, hotels will set you up for a days drinking of the single malt nectar with a full scottish breakfast
Done the whisky trail.....several times! (I was a Catholic at the time).
Once visited the MacCallan distillery. One wall of their shop had rack on rack of standard bottles, each holding a whisky labelled with a given year....from around the 1940's. The idea was to buy a bottle distilled on the year of one's birth. I was handed a price list: the highest price was around £1200; and the lowest around £800. I asked....in some amazement....'This much for a standard bottle??' 'Oh no', said the lass. 'This list is for the miniatures!' I kid you not. And no, I didn't buy one.
I did have a Scottish breakfast or three.....minus the haggis and the mushrooms!
Funnily enough single malt is cheaper here than in scotland. I have a friend who lives on one of the isles, he makes regular half yearly visits to france to stock up. One of the brands he buys is distilled around 3 miles from his home.
Another guy i know, a Scot, lives close to me, he swears he only moved to france because the whisky is cheaper... A true scotsman.
Oh flash fried mushrooms beat fried haggis and are a (fairly) close second to oak smoke back bacon.
Only a lass from Lancashire would be that daft!
Actually i prefer fresh goats cheese.

That's my favorite, and most of what I bought and consumed was from France, btw.
Am reminded of the cheese-shop sketch on the Secret Policeman's Ball. Have you seen it?
Am reminded of the old joke: 'How was the Grand Canyon formed?'............'Scotsman looking for a nickel down a gopher hole '
Weren't the Scots and French traditional allies against the English?
Scots have no allies!Weren't the Scots and French traditional allies against the English?

I knew he was no true scotsman
