Before we start, take a look at this: Friendly's Breakfast Menu - Sweet Creations. Look at the pictures. Look at Strawberry Fills Forever French Toast, for heaven's sake. This is not breakfast.
Not too say it doesn't look delicious. Double Chocolate Pancakes were clearly invented with me in mind. But not for breakfast! This is the food you eat for dessert, so that when your sugar high dissipates, you are ready for bed.
And I am picking on Friendly's a little bit. This is really a universal problem. We have our standard weekend breakfast foods: pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs, sausages, etc. It does start to get repetitive. What else can you do but start adding some chopped apples here, powdered sugar there, a little whipped cream on top?
Well, I personally can't eat that much sugar that early in the morning. So we came up with a plan. There are over 200 countries on our planet, and they do not all eat bacon and eggs for breakfast. We will take a culinary tour and try everybody's morning meal everywhere. If we make it to the end of the list, we will have 236 new breakfasts*, and no ice cream.

ReplyDeleteThis is a marvelous project! I will keep checking to see what's cooking and may even try some of your recipes. I am very intersted in the different beverages that would be served with these meals too.

Quite an ambitious project to say the least! I am as impressed by the photography as I am everything else. Photographing food is very difficult and the composition and color balance is excellent. That said, the food looks great too and I'll definitely take a shot at a few of the recipes.
