A healthy breakfast is the foundation of health - and French butter is not in short supply here
Reading the reports of acute butter shortages in France (and wondering at the French average annual consumption of 8kg/person) I am happy (bit of a guilty pleasure) to say that French butter is still available in all its forms over here.
Catching up on my food posts a bit after the longer absence, here's today's breakfast.
Ham from Spain, cheese from Südtirol and Austrian corned beef. Well I guess the last one may not be the typical choice... But it was the first time in my life I've had corned beef and while I had no idea what to expect, I am convinced that this variety is definitely nice (comparison testing to follow). The rest were known quantities, so no surprises there

And last but not least, no meal is complete without an accompanying watch, so here the Zenith Cronometro Tipo CP-2 P15 as my Sunday wrist companion!
Bon appetite and a great Sunday to all!

With food Thanks Zabreg, have a great Sunday!

This is just a day where I feel sorry for the plants
That is a wonderful, wonderful breakfast.
I'm not crazy about corned beef, especially the way you are trying it, but everything else makes for a meal fit for a me. Watch included.
Happy to learn more about the right way to have corned beef :)
As said, was my first time... Was tasty, too 😋
To do it properly you would have to come to NY.
It's sliced thin, piled high (1 1/2 inches high) on rye bread with as much mustard as you can stand. Served warm, also. And you have to have a Dr. Brown's Celery Soda or Black Cherry Soda to wash it down. And did I mention mustard?
I avoid cold cuts as much as I like them but what I learned here was 8Kg/Yr of butter consumption!!...
I have never quantified that but I m quite positive my intake is 24+Kg in pure butter on bread alone not counting the butter related products or butter used for cooking. Then there are oil, olive oil, mayo, cheese, crème, heavy crème and what not. I am do...
Doomed...
To eating tastily It's only 6kg a year for the Germans who come second and even less for all other nations
