SOME BREAKFASTS I HAVE KNOWN

In England   you get kidney pie, cold toast, and marmalade

In France   you find hot croissants, butter, jam, and cafe au lait

In Switzerland   you may taste creamy hot chocolate with warm rolls

(Let's not speak of Italy   where breakfast is an after-thought)

In Norway   a full smoergassbord is laid out

In Greece   eggs swim in olive oil

In Israel   fresh cucumbers and cool yogurt start the day

In China   water rice gruel and pickled meat work better that
their attempt at fried eggs and toast

In America   it depends on where you eat

At Motel 6   stale Danish and strong coffee greet you in the lobby
At the Radisson   a glorified continental breakfast awaits you, with granola,
fresh fruit, and orange juice thrown in

At IHOP   you break your fast with eggs and ham, hash browns, pancakes and syrup, toast and jam, and plenty of coffee

At home   I have Malt-O-Meal, raisin bread toast, and cereal coffee


fresh fruit
