East meets East

The East End of London meets Eastern Mediterranean.



I look forward to Boxing Day because it means I can indulge in one of my Favourite Breakfasts; sausages, egg, bubble, baked beans and toast.

Today I thought would be no different as there was an abundance of vegetables left over from Christmas Dinner and I personally placed them reverently into the ‘fridge in preparation for the great day.



The day dawned and after the required number of ‘wake up’ cups of tea my Significant Other asked me “what do you fancy for breakfast”; after at least a microseconds indecision I suggested that my FB would be acceptable.



“Ha!” The SO replied, “I thought you’d say that but as we’re in Cyprus I’m doing you something in keeping” and promptly prepared my FB with sheftalia instead of sausage.



I nibbled the meal with some trepidation but after a very short time concluded that I now have Two favourite breakfasts.



Happy new Year to everyone.

First time I "stayed over" at my wifes flat way before we were eventually married she "phoned a friend" to find out what English people had for breakfast so she could cook up a typical English breakfast for me.

I was completely unaware of the phone conversations as I was in bed struggling to recover from the excesses of the night before .

Anyway her friend told here she believed that englishmen always had egg bacon sausage and tomatoes for breakfast so that's what she made .

I was woken up with a kiss and a smile ~ a tray plonked in front of me with the words "I English food" ~ something I couldn't complain about going by the night before.

Staring at me on the tray were two very hard boiled boiled eggs rolling around the plate out of their shells ~ a piece of lunza ~ a loukanika sausage and a full salad with lots and lots of raw tomato all soaked in olive oil and lemon juice.

Something wasn't quite right with the translation "English breakfast" somehow

It was unusual to say the least but I gave her full marks for trying .
