Breakfast in UK & Europe

Sunday, September 21, 2014

I recently had the best, yes the BEST eggs benedict while in London at the Breakfast Club and captured the deliciously egg oozing hollandaise goodness on instagram, facebook and urbanspoon.

It seemed like the food that I ate really defined the places I visited and my hips don't lie about it either. So what was for breakfast while I was away on holidays?

The British and Irish love their traditional full breakfast aka fry up or full monty with each country adding it's own little touch, black pudding or hashbrowns (English), white pudding or soda bread (Irish) or haggis (Scottish).

The Europeans weren't so fussed about the big hearty meals instead keeping it simple, light and easy - think fresh pastries and breads.

Here's a snippet of where I disappeared to and ate :)
