It is not eaten every day but often saved for weekends and holidays. The term “full” comes from the fact that this meal includes many different foods. It was traditionally served at breakfast time, but it may also replace lunch. Breakfast may begin with orange juice, cereals, stewed or fresh fruits, but the heart of the full breakfast is bacon and eggs, variously accompanied by sausages, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, tea, buttered toast and marmalade. Each country in the UK and Ireland also have their choice of accompaniments. You may find, for example black pudding, baked beans and fried bread. Nowadays there is also a variety of vegetarian choices such as tofu sausages. The origins of the full breakfast are unclear and believed to originate in rural England as a rich meal to carry workers through a long morning. Egyptian breakfast A popular, ancient Egyptian breakfast dish is called ful medames, which is usually eaten on Fridays. To make the dish, the Arabic word fūl or beans are cooked with cumin, onion, tomato, garlic and parsley. These beans are often accompanied by a selection of sides: flat breads, tahini sauce with lemon, hard boiled eggs and chopped tomato and cucumber salads. Ful medames is an Egyptian breakfast recipe which goes as far back as the fourth century where the beans were buried over hot coals to slow cook – medames means “buried” in Egyptian. Today people enjoy it throughout the Middle East, from Sudan to Syria, Israel and Yemen. Tahini is very often served as a side dish or dip. It is made from toasted, ground sesame seeds, water and lemon and is usually an ingredient in the famous chickpea paste called hummus. It is great with many other Middle Eastern dishes. Many Egyptians drink black tea with milk or mint leaves – with or after breakfast. b 29 Language skills Extras Explore 2 Away from home Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
