August Theme Day: A Typical Breakfast

posted by Kerry-Anne
Crispy bacon, fried eggs sunny-side-up, chips, steak, fried tomato, hot buttered toast and a big steaming cup of coffee - this is what breakfast should be. Oh, if only our waistlines and arteries would allow us to eat like this every day!

Anyone who's ever been on a road-trip in South Africa should be familiar with the Wimpy breakfast. There are a number of Wimpy restaurants located at large one-stop petrol stations along all of the country's main routes, and after you've woken up at 4am to get an early start on the road, there's nothing quite like an 8am breakfast stop at the Wimpy to cure a carful of yawning heads and rumbling tummies.

There are 100 blogs participating in this theme day. Use the links below to visit them, and enjoy breakfast around the world:

Wimpy sounds like the Waffle House of South Africa (southern Americans will know what I mean). A true driver's breakfast!

Looks delicious. I've never seen fries with breakfast, but the idea of it reminds me of Waffle House of IHoP--perfect road trip stops.

Hi Kerry-Anne,
it has been a long time since I was here and I'm late for your breakfast... :(
Anyhow, I'm glad I'm here - saw some beautiful pictures - and glad I'm late - didn't ruin my diet intentions... :))
Take care!
