Breakfast around Europe


Having just consumed a Bacon Sandwich, here are three more styles of breakfast.

Top: English.
Middle: French.
Bottom: Slovakian.


I very occasionally partake of PARTS OF the English one, quite often the French one, but never the Slovakian one.

  1. My grandchildren have Slovak citizenship. On the other side of the grandmothers, luckily it's only on paper.

  2. Smile. Slovakian and Greek!! Though the cigarettes are mostly replaced these days and a sesame bread ring is more popular.

    1. Many in France follow the bottom option, but add a glass of wine.

  3. I could never eat a full English breakfast, it's way too much food. The French one looks okay except for the cheese. The last one is my ex's idea of breakfast.

    1. I once ordered a 'Full English' in a Café in Shropshire, which came with Black Pudding. I'd never seen Black Pudding before (I'm a Southerner) and had to ask what it was. I was none the wiser but ate it anyway. I enjoyed it.

  4. I think I'll stick with my toast and coffee

    1. My Bacon sandwich this morning (with two added lettuce leaves), was really nice. I recommend it.

    1. What is 'white pudding'? Is it tripe?

    2. Same Black pudding recipe but without the pigs blood.

    3. Surely, there'd be nothing left without the blood.

  10. It's years since I've had even part of a full English breakfast, and I wouldn't even contemplate eating that one! I have either two slices of brioche and coffee, or scrambled or poached egg on toast. So I'd go for the French breakfast.

    1. They're unheard of in Europe; even the French toast.

  14. Glad to see the " full English" had black pudding and not those greasy monstrosities " hash browns"
    Two things wrong with the French breakfast- 1 a good croissant does not need butter or jam and 2- the butter will be unsalted. IMHO the only acceptable butter is salted
