The first meal of the day is gas to face mornings. Let´s see... English Breakfast
Why?
English Breakfast comes from the days when Britain was a rural country and the people used to get up very early to work in the fields, normally with very bad weather. It was essential for them to feel strong and energetic before going out to work on the farms in the cold.
What?
A traditional, full English breakfast includes…
- Cereal: many people eat corn-flakes or other packed cereal nowadays, but traditionally they had “porridge” (oats boiled in water or milk).
- Scrambled or fried eggs, with some meat (bacon or sausages) and chips or baked beans.
- Toast with butter or marmalade.
- Something sweet: biscuits, muffins…, some people prefer fruit.
Of course, the most popular drink is tea, or maybe some orange juice.
When?
A lot of things are different today: Britain is an urban country, many housewives go to work and a lot of people simply don´t have time to cook or eat a traditional breakfast on week days… But they eat it with pleasure at the weekends, when they are more relaxed and can forget the stress of modern life.
