For breakfast, every college dining hall, restaurant, and cafe/shop in Cambridge serves:
- Sausages (big, chunky ones)
- Toasted bread
- Baked beans
- Poached or scrambled eggs
- Tomatoes
- Mushrooms
[Standard English breakfast]
I got talkin' to an Englishman about what American breakfast entails, and harped on the fact everything in an English breakfast is salty and/or neutral-flavored. Nothing sweet. No fruit, no pancakes, no french toast. No bacon. So ... on a whim, I emailed out and got a bunch of people together for American Brunch Saturday.
[Colin and Denys cooking bacon + french toast]
[French toast and American bacon that Colin somehow acquired]
[French toast with syrup, powdered sugar, fruit ...]
[Breakfast underway]
[Buffet-style breakfast]
[Good ol' fashioned American french toast.]
[Colin, Carrie, Alex, Isaac, Arjun, Phil, and Caroline]
With the help of everyone bringing ingredients potluck-style, we got a huge breakfast and lots of satisfied appetites. Sweet success! Literally.
