Breakfast from Around the World: Morning Meals from 10 Different Countries

Aug 22, 2016 11:35 IST
Believe it or not, breakfast is getting miserable day by day for urban mortals. The excuses are innumerable but not good enough to validate the logic behind missing out on the most important meal of the day. After a night long fasting, your system needs a loading of fuel to kick start the day and keep you going till lunch. Usually our mornings are supremely rushed; we snooze till it gets way too late to start for work, hence who has the time for breakfast? Weekends usually translate to late night outs and lazy mornings stretched way past noon time. All in all, breakfast is a meal rapidly disappearing from our lives. On the contrary, our lunch, snacks and dinner are getting meal-heavy with the addition of in-between meals. For those who do manage to make some time for breakfast, they don't seem to move ahead of a plain buttered toast, flakes with milk or a just a banana or two.
