Last April, I kept a <b>'A-food-post-a-day'</b> resolution for a month. I posted pictures from my food adventure from travel, home and kitchen. Talking about American, Continental and British Breakfast in the <a href="http://wandering-bears.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-food-photo-day-day-18.html" target="_blank">post</a>s, reminded me of my days in England. A decade ago it was still not common to click pictures of everything you eat or do, there was no smart phones or Instagram. And Social networking was just picking up.<br />
<br />
The good folks at the Hotel delivered Breakfast to my room when requested. All pictures are my DSLR.<br />

This was our first experiment with Ethiopian food. Firstly, we were not sure if a vegetarian option was available. The food was definitely tasty, but was served cold. Then learnt that is the way the food is served here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We ordered for Vegetarian combo and all the side dishes were served on the sourdough flatbread known as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injera" target="_blank">Injera</a>. Injera is made out of iron rich Teff flour. They gave unlimited Injera's rolled in a basket along with this.</div>

Somehow I totally missed a post yesterday, thinking I have already posted! I was thinking of Breakfast options namely <i>American, Continental and English</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I don't remember to have clicked a photo of my Breakfast plate while I visited UK for work. <span style="text-align: center;">The first time I went, Cellphone with Cameras were not around, so not sure if I have anything in my DSLR. But, I did eat English Breakfast for weeks, since I was put up in a Hotel.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the American Breakfast, sans Orange Juice and Coffee. Looks like I had already gulped down the Juice and Coffee was on the way. I didn't remember the location, but google images helped me. These white plates with a blue line are from <a href="http://www.ihop.com/" target="_blank">Ihop</a>. So there it goes....</div>

One of our favorite indulgence is a Banana Split - Three flavors of ice-cream in a split banana boat, topped with Pineapple, Strawberry and Cherries with nuts sprinkled all over. It truly is a ice-cream lovers delight! We often indulge in this as <i>Baskin Robbins</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But, if the ice-cream flavors are Indian (like chikoo, kulfi, lychee, meetha paan, gulkand, alphonso mango) its a relish!</div>

Walking through the displays in Ikea is fun. I end up doing so at least a couple times a year. Even though I end up not buying anything, I often treat myself to some goodies in the food court. </div>
