I mostly love British breakfasts. The baked beans and stewed tomatoes were strange, but I acclimated. In Scotland, I had kippers, which I like, but not so much in the morning. I usually don't eat breakfast, per se, except on vacation. At home, it's croissant, English muffin or bagel. On holiday, a breakfast (fruestuck, peitit d'journer) usually obivates the need for lunch, saving both time and money.

Fruhstuck, Mike, and petit dejeuner.

Now with an Irish farmhouse breakfast you'd get black pudding (blood sausage) and chips, as well as the eggs, fried bread, and bacon.

And I love kippers. Canadians have good kippers, and it's a staple in good Canadian hotel breakfasts.

Bon appetit!

British breakfasts and bongo drum beaters -- a match made in heaven.
