The HostelBookers Blog has posted the typical foods people in different countries eat to get their day started. Here are just a few:
 |
| 22. A hearty Scottish breakfast - much like a full English and a full Irish, but the country’s USP is the ‘sumptuous’ slab of haggis served alongside every fat-fried egg. Don’t know what haggis is? Scroll down quick if your animal eating habits err on the queasy side. It’s sheep’s heart, liver and lungs minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, salt and stock... Thenk ye david.nikonvscanon. |

5. Quick Spanish breakfast – Pan a la Catalana, or Pan con Tomate, in Spain is simple but really delicious. Just rub some bread with fresh garlic and plenty of ripe tomato, then drizzle with olive oil and salt. Top with cheese, ham or sausage for an extra bit. Gracias jlatras.

| 32. An Egyptian breakfast - the breakfast of choice here is Foul Madamas. It’s made from fava beans, chickpeas, garlic and lemon. Above you’ll see the dish topped with olive oil, cayenne, tahini sauce, a hard boiled egg, and some diced green veggies. SaHHa goblinbox (queen of ad hoc bento) |

| 50. A Turkish breakfast – the full Turkish treatment usually consists of a few varieties of cheese, butter, olives, eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, jam, honey, and spicy meat. Tesekkür ederim pocketcultures. |
Ah, memories of my Dad enjoying his weekend breakfasts of fried eggs (basted, of course), blood pudding, back bacon & potato cakes. He truly loved his 'Irish' breakfasts...always reminding us that 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day'.
ReplyDeleteI came away loving potato cakes...very difficult to find them nowadays.
My mum's family loved their Irish breakfasts. Thinking back, I vaguely remember blood pudding making an appearance.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try them all. But I think the last breakfast sounds best.
ReplyDeleteMy breakfast is 3 cups of coffee and a piece of toast unless I wait until noon and then I add scrambled eggs and call it lunch.
