Breakfast

Isn't breakfast just the most evocative meal of the day? It sets the tone for everything that's ahead . It happens as you are barely awake so there may be a lot of reaching into the fridge and just going with whatever comes out - oh carrots and bacon? OK!
Its a peculiar and individual meal. Many breakfasts are consumed alone and none the worse for that. But often it may be shared and enjoyed with that special someone. Then it also revolves on who is motivated to make it.Getting the kettle on may be a very good start.
Myself ,being a Brit, I am firmly in the substantial breakfast camp. Goodies like cooked meats ,eggs and vegetables-even remnants of yesterday's dinner- are all acceptable.
For that very special breakfast we must go into the fish/seafood territory- see later : kippers and haddock.

When I travel it's a challenge. Some venues in the world offer interesting alternatives- Congee in Hong Kong with abalone is an example. In other places there seems little on offer after coffee and pastry; (Gallic enthusiasts-you know that I'm talking about your shortcomings!)

And then there is a topic close to my heart. Its called the Best Breakfast Ever- and it is just that. We will be returning to this subject in the future so put your thinking cap on!
