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.

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

Their traditional breakfast doesn't help!

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

Cro Magnon said...

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

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.

I think I'll stick with my toast and coffee

No wonder the Brits are all overweight and unfit!

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.

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

Cro Magnon said...

And the Slovakians even more so.

What about that wonderful Scottish breakfast of smoked haddock with a poached egg?

Col said...

Not all of us!

Yorkshire Pudding said...

To je urážka obyvateľov Slovenska!!!

Yorkshire Pudding said...

True of North Norfolk Sue but not the rest of this island!

northsider said...

What about a Full Irish with black and white pudding?

Cro Magnon said...

What, no Haggis?

Cro Magnon said...

Nei, nie je.

Cro Magnon said...

What is 'white pudding'? Is it tripe?

Jennifer said...

I'll take the French breakfast, please!

Cro Magnon said...

My wife has that almost every day.

Coppa's girl said...

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.

mmm smoked haddock and poached egg on top....at any time !

Where's my Shredded Wheat?

northsider said...

Same Black pudding recipe but without the pigs blood.

Cro Magnon said...

I do occasionally have a fried egg with bacon; but not too often.

Cro Magnon said...

That's something I've never had!

Cro Magnon said...

Is that still made?

Cro Magnon said...

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

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Susan said...

I do not see any French toast nor pancakes with butter and Vermont made maple syrup.

Cro Magnon said...

Cough, cough, in Slovakia.

Cro Magnon said...

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

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
