Easter breakfast

[mtbc]

For breakfast on Easter Day it felt appropriate to focus mostly on round foods. I fried eggs, onions, tomatoes again, topped with some black pepper, accompanying it with some Scottish smoked salmon that I finished off today. I followed it with some dessert: some brightly colored malted candy eggs and a glazed strawberry donut.

Not common here in the US are the large hollow chocolate eggs and the Simnel cake I know from Britain; I seem to mention the latter here every year. Next year, when my life in my new house is more settled, I shall have to plan better so as to bake my own Simnel cake.

I have never heard of that cake!

Sounds like a very good breakfast, though.

Thank you, it was! Basically, Simnel is fruit cake with lots of citrus and marzipan, plus bonus apostles. My kind of thing, anyway.

I've seen the large hollow chocolate eggs and Simnel Cake here. But it's also NYC, which admittedly has practically everything. Once I got a large hollow chocolate egg - and it had a toy inside - it was not a toy I appreciated. It was a large pink spider - I got rid of both and never tried it again.

Goodness, what a surprise, and how strange.

Ah, yes, NYC probably has just about everything I can think of. Brooklyn alone might, indeed, I did get the best fish and chips there that I've had in the US.
