Posts Tagged salted fish

When I don’t sleep enough, breakfast taste like nausea. My standard is cereal (usually Uncle Toby’s Quick Oats) with soy milk, yogurt (I like Gippsland). If I am more industrious I add frozen berries and some muscovado sugar. Of course there is also a flat white with a pretty pattern on top. I wish someone made me something warm and savory like this:

7 am, Utorohigashi, Hokkaido, Japan. Salmon roe on rice

7:30 am, Daisetsu-zan YHA, Hokkaido, Japan. Salted fish, scrambled eggs, rice.

Maybe that’s going a little over the top. But the salted fish breakfast came from a YHA (a super clean and nice YHA). in japan I have not come across a accommodation serving breakfast that did not include some sort of fish. It is usually lightly salted salmon or a small fish that is related to the mackerel (does anyone know the name?). Pickles that taste fresh and only lightly acidic or salted are a fantastic way to eat vegetables.

Maybe I should just sleep earlier.
