Breakfast in England

Breakfast in England

The British Isles are famous for multiple-course breakfasts. A wide array of meats is always in evidence: bacon, sausage, grilled kidneys, mutton chops. There are also eggs in profusion, grilled tomato and mushrooms, oatmeal or cold cereal, various smoked fish, in addition to tea and coffee. Baked goods may include assorted buns, crumpets, and brown bread with butter, honey, jam, or marmalade. There is absolutely always toast. The culinary influence of England's centuries of rule in India is visible at breakfast where kedgeree (originally khichri, a dish of lentils, rice and spices to which the English added smoked haddock, eggs, and cream), hoppers (originally the rice pancakes known as appam), and mango chutney ("chutney" is the Hindi word for relish) all make an appearance.
