    Its still weird to me how English breakfast is (that much of) a thing.

    Like a couple of centuries ago for the difference in the sheer standard of living, sure, maybe at that point it was luxurious in terms of ingredients alone, … but still?

      It’s because the alternative is “continental breakfast” which consists of a few slices of warm ham, tiny slices of bread and a bunch of fruit that’s already on the turn.

      • That’s why I’m sticking with alpine/Austrian breakfast: Real bread (Google “Schwarzbrot”), real cereals (a mix of oats, dried fruits and nuts, with hot milk) or Sterz (a breakfast made from ground maize, couldn’t find a translation) with apples and raisins. Depends on how much time I have and what I’m doing on that day (before a long hike or a long day of skiing Sterz is the best).
