Assembling a satisfactory English breakfast is challenging enough in England, where great debates rage over whether eggs should be fried or scrambled. The challenge of assembling an English breakfast in Germany is even more fraught with complexities. No matter how good the ingredients are, an English breakfast isn’t an English breakfast if it isn’t covered in brown sauce, and brown sauce isn’t brown sauce unless it has got ‘HP’ on the bottle. Politics aside, I’ve watched with unabashed joy as my German wife has fallen in love with the English breakfast. That she enjoys copious slatherings of brown sauce on her English breakfast gives me a good deal of joy.
