Our breakfast

Looking at this photo, did you think I eat spring onions for breakfast? Yep! But not as they are.

Before I tell you about our breakfast, can I ask what you eat for breakfast? Tea, toast with butter? Weetabix?

Back in Japan Iain and I had three choices; rice and miso soup, porridge on busy mornings, and homemade bread with bacon and eggs to please Iain since he became homesick for a British breakfast from time to time. We don’t have black pudding in Japan, though!

Here in the U.K., Rev. Mugo and I are enjoying brown rice and miso soup almost every morning. We have got Italian brown rice which is easier to cook than Japanese brown rice. The miso was brought from Japan. It goes without saying that Rev. Mugo is a vegetarian so I don’t use any fish stock to make miso soup here. We just boil lots of vegetables and add miso at the very end of cooking. We have so much fun out of it. For topping I sprinkle chopped negi in Japan but here we use chopped spring onion. At first I was using leek but spring onions also taste wonderful. They are so nice I can survive without negi, I suppose.
