Thank you so much for including my rissoles piece! What a nice gesture and I'm so grateful!

I served breakfast in our hotel 7 mornings a week for 9 years and discovered 2 things : (obviously) breakfast is cultural : guests from Britain all want certain foods, Germans, French, Americans, Italians, etc... almost consistently, they each ask for the same thing their compatriots want, whether a sweet breakfast or savory, bread and jam, meats or cheese, fruit or not. The second thing is that when people travel to a new country, they'll want to "eat like the locals do", discover the local dishes and experience the well-known national dishes but only for lunch and dinner. Most people need or crave the comfort of the breakfast they eat at home first thing in the morning. Funny, right? I have only started eating breakfast differently when I stay in a hotel.

Eggs, sausage, smoked salmon, fresh squeezed orange juice, ricotta pancakes... *sigh* breakfast isn't just a meal, it's a reminder that each new day is a gift to us. Thank you for the mention! I hope lots of people are reading great books this summer. The analog revolution is happening and it makes me so happy.

I love a classic Eggs Benedict (and sometimes variations, like with smoked salmon or spinach) but only eat it when on vacation for some reason, lol! And yes to cheese at breakfast - I love finding more ways to eat cheese!

My breakfast this morning: soft-boiled eggs + smoked sea salt, Norwegian brown cheese (my fave kind of souvenir), raisin bread, custard with rhubarb compote, and perfect yellow plums

Totally agree with the sentiments of this article! I hadn't considered the inherent optimism baked inside breakfast, but of course that's what's so psychologically appealing about it 😁 Pair any breakfast with anime and you've got yourself a perfect morning 👌
