Food


I do not understand all these complaints about quality of British food. There are numerous famous restaurants with even more famous cooks ready at any guormet challenge, takeaways of all nations' quisines and a classic English breakfast is a simple bliss on a windy, rainy morning. Continental muesli and orange juice just will not do in such a weather - you have to support yourself with fried sausages, warm tomatoes and beans on a fragrant toast with crispy bacon. It might not be great for you health but for your morale is going to be a pure bliss.

My favourite cholesterol bomb we drop sometimes on our cardiovascular systems is a solid portion of thick pancakes, grilled bacon and a decent dollop of a maple syrup. Then some Belgian wafers with vanilla ice cream. One of the favourite places for such a treat is Favorit near Edinburgh University. They serve breakfasts all day there too!
