Fusion breakfast

Wow, best breakfast ever!!! Last November I have been in Serbia for almost one month where I have tried many of the local delicacies. One of them is called Rakija, a schnapps with 50% alcohol. Rakija comes in many different flavours and my favourite is plum (slivo) honey (med) or quince (dunja). As the tradition has it, you drink one shot of rakija in the morning at breakfast to get your machine going ;-) So I happily did that for almost a month, hey it's tradition ;-)

One of my friends is a travel journalist and she was lucky to go to Macedonia a few weeks ago and she also got accustomed to the traditions of the Balkan. As a gift she received a bottle of Rakija (made of plums) which I was very happy to share with her. As the new Dutch herring arrived 2 weeks ago fresh from the sea a match in heaven was created.

My friend and I decided, she would bring the Rakija and I would bring the herring....so we did and this picture was made this morning. Best way to start the day!

Rakija and Herring.... how could you ever survive without?

It's a new day

What better than to start the day with a healthy-rich-of-vitamins breakfast? I always start the day with some nice yoghurt. Not the non-fat one, but preferably the Greek one with 3,5% fat. When there's no fat it will only make you go hungry after 2 hours..... I like Greek yoghurt because of its rich taste and its thickness.

Then add a handful of raspberries or strawberries or banana, whichever you prefer most and preferably what's in season.
Add a tablespoon of honey and add some chopped up almonds....MMMM and if you really want to make it superb, add some cinnamon.
There you have a perfect healthy source of vitamins and happiness!
