Früstuck awaits

October 25, 2007 12:00 AM | Related Categories: Cafe Life

I'm the first customer in Globus cafe at 7am. The coffee is brewing and a veritable thrombosis of croissants is laid out in temptation (Gipfeli in Swiss-german). Plain butter croissants, big cornettos filled with vanilla cream or apricot, pain au chocolat - choose your poison. There is also birchermüesli if you are feeling virtuous

I believe we have already "visited" this place? Anyhow, you obviously visit it every day! A nice breakfast is essential for a good start of the day!

Richard you didn't tell us whether you belong to the virtuous lot or not!
I'm up at 7am too, but I walk down to the boulangerie round the block and get a fresh baguette every day for breakfast!
This is one of the great pleasures I get from being back in France. None of that in Australia!

And you noticed that the only witness of the murder in Avignon was blind.
The crime was almost perfect.... except I was there.

Tu es plutôt "sucré" le matin que "salé" et tu aimes les petits déjeuner "continentaux". N'est ce pas en Ecosse que l'on mange des haricots rouges ?
Nous adorons ma famille et moi avoir un Früstück Allemand et mieux bruncher à l'extérieur en Allemagne. Le "Morgen Rot" à Berlin Est m'a laissé un souvenir inoubliable. Non à cause des mets (végétariens), mais parce que le décor datait des années d'avant la chute du mur. De grands dessins oranges et bruns à la Vasarelly. De plus chacun payait ce qu'il voulait. Des restes du communisme ?

J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance de ce bar. La ligne de spots, de tabourets, le bar dans le fond, dans l'arrière de la salle sombre. Les croissants comme "offerts", dans la lumière

@cergie and nathalie - in Scotland the normal breakfast is a pork pie and a can of beer. So I have no problem with the transition to "sucre". I'm also curious about "Morgen Rot" - sounds more like a hangover to me

Now, I have to take you quietly to one side. "Richard! My office! Now!!"

1. Why did you not also reveal to Cergie and Nathalie the fried Mars Bar that is also essential to the Scottish Breakfast?

2. As a serious point....just between you and me......I do think that this particular shot would be better done in colour, and with more attention paid to your view point/angle of view. Afterall, you, Richard, you are not a mere "snapper" - and you have "a Public" out there: think of them for Heaven's sake. There's too much light in the cake counter and the cute suareish Swiss German 1950's / 60's decor in the back is unkindly and unjustifiably banished. I know you can do better than this. ( Tonight is my night out....I will not mention this aberration to anyone.

@chucker - <<sigh>> - if only. Unfortunately the film has not yet been designed, let alone the sensor, to satisfy your demands.

NB I always thought that the deep fried Mars bar was an English invention - deep fried pizzas, yes, but maybe not for breakfast

Bien sûr le Morgen Rot est d'une autre époque, mais justement, tu te rends compte que le mur de Berlin est tombé en 1989 si je me souviens bien. Tout le monde dit que Berlin n'est plus la même. Ce n'est pas vrai. Il y a plein de traces du passé à Berlin et beaucoup de personnes nostalgiques.
Richard, je vais répondre quand j'aurai le temps sur mon blog, mais en gros ce que ej dirais est que l'Ecosse et la Bretagne se ressemble beaucoup. Cette année au festival inter-celtique de Lorient l'Ecosse était à l'honneur et je suis allée à la nuit de l'Ecosse, j'ai écouté les Red Hot Chilli Pipers.
Lorsque je suis allée dans ta belle patrie en septembre, j'y ai vu des paysages merveilleux de bruyère (heather) et l'herbe qui descend à la mer. Ce paysage rude de landes on le retrouve en Bretagne dans les Monts d'Arrée
