Hi, if you have stopped to look at this article you are probably wondering how I could explain an English breakfast . Even though I do not come from Britain I consider an English Breakfast to be the best one. It’s composed of: sausages, eggs, toast, baked beans, hash browns, a mushroom, a tomato, and a glass of tea, coffee, or OJ. If this  sounds appetizing you’d be right because it is very good. Now it might surprise you to learn that 12 countries have contributed to making the English breakfast. So, without further ado, let’s dive in!

Let’s imagine I wake up in the morning in Britain and want to make a delicious English breakfast. First I would start frying my sausages and eggs which come from the UK (1) in Italian olive oil (2). Then I would get my Irish grown mushroom (3) and tomato from the Netherlands (4)  then heat my baked beans from the U.S.(5) and cook my hash browns made from Belgian  potatoes (6). Next I got my bread made from German wheat (7) and toast before spreading it with Danish  butter (8). As for the drinks I might choose OJ made from Moroccan oranges (9), or perhaps some Guatemalan coffee  (10) and even the stereotypical tea could be plucked from Chinese tea fields (11) and given a liberal serving of French-grown sugar (12).

I hope that this has gotten you thinking about how we import food overseas and see ya next time. Note: This is one way to get to 12 countries and not all countries mentioned are the biggest exporters of the goods mentioned in their name.
