Re: all about food!
Get up at 4 5 or 6? in Britain at least that is wwaaay too early and would probably cause you to drop out later. I don't know about countries that have a siesta in the mid afternoon.
Likewise I wouldn't personally fancy chocolate spread for breakfast, indeed most chocolate spread has usually been over sweet for me, and even when i've found one I like I prefer it on pancakes or brioche for a dessert rather than just on bread.
Now, with chocolate I can talk with a little authority. Most commercial chocolate is usually very low in coco, we're talking about 4-7 percent. This is a shame sinse coco itself is extremely good for you, and the rest is padded out with lots of crap such as gelatine and extra sugar, indeed propper chocolate shouldn't! be too sweet.
Coco is a very bennificial substance, it's good for your brain, it acts as an anti depressant, and it reduces cholesterol, however the major problem is as I said, mos
t usual chocolate contains so little.
Even a decent milk chocolate can be 40 or 50 percent coco, though they tend to be sweeter and contain more cream, however a really good, decentquality dark chocolate should be around the 70 or 80 percent mark.
it's not to everyone's taste sinse it isn't sweet, but for pure coco it's the best thing and far better for you, and provided you get from a good make such as hotel chocolate or green and blacks coco, you won't find it too rough, (lint, for all their advertising are waaaaaay too gritty and usually end up unpleasant).
I have stayed in some places that had awesome breakfasts, like of course the full english, bacon, sausage, eggs, (I prefer scrambled myself but other people prefer fried or poached), hash browns (which are crisped potatoes), mushrooms, tomatoes (though I'm not keen on tomatoes), or beans, plus toast and sometimes other things.
I am also very fond of smoaked salmon and scra
mbled eggs for breakfast, though I rarely get that, as smoked salmon tends to be a bit pricy and so I only have it on rare occasions or when staying somewhere good.
Of course, if you have a breakfast like that, you rarely need much for lunch, though i can say it's pretty awesome if your out all day being very active, I definitely appreciated such when I was on my vocal studdies course (sinse you wouldn't believe how hard days of singing are).
On the subject of spice, I do think in egypt they were trying to humour the tourists, or assumed people from Britain wouldn't appreciate the local spcies, but to be honest I don't agree and was quite disappointed as I said.
Personally if I am going to have something from another culinary tradition, I prefer having it as appropriately as possible, including the same levels of spice people from that tradition would have, it might not appeal to me, but I'd much rather try it done properly, indeed I rememb
er a lovely recent experience where some very nice tirkish gentlemen treated me to a coffee made in the traditional method, which was awesome!
Similarly, I have tried deep frie chicken feet, at a very good local chinese, I can't say I cared for those, but I was willing to give them a try.
