Herr Mike in Deutschland

My favourite and most English of institutions is the FULL ENGLISH Breakfast. I feel that as British embassador to Erlangen it is my duty to teach my foreign peers of this greasy wonder: the perfect solution after one too many litres of Bavarian Beer.

A few of us have been taking turns to make the evening meal recently. Bettina made typical German schnitzel, French Marie made a salad niscoise and Christian made the famous German dish spaghetti bolognese. Of course when it was my turn there was only one dish to serve (the only dish I can make but that is beside the point). I managed to find most of the classic English ingredients - sausage, eggs, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes etc though I came a cropper when it came to bacon.
Despite having the most ridiculous selection of sliced meat, the Germans have somehow missed out on proper bacon. I had to go for 'Breakfast Speck' which sounds perfect, though in reality was little more than smoked ham. Anyway, we made do. Having convinced my continental companions that an English breakfast is suitable for an evening meal, and that the cholestorol hit wouldn't kill them, we set to and made a fine fry up. It went down really well, check out how happy Christian is in the picture! All were so impressed that they have agreed to join me in my new political venture. The motto? 'Bring Bacon to Bavaria'!
