Easter mornings have always been special. When we were children, we would look for the nest (made of green grass the previous evening) in the morning and check if the Easter Bunny had brought us presents and Easter eggs. I know it may sound funny, but those were the joys of childhood. The point wasn't even the gift but the feeling of the surprise itself. Of course, breakfast was also special. We would eat boiled ham, hard-boiled eggs, lettuce, green onions, horseradish, and bread. We often had this meal on Easter Eve, the evening before Easter Sunday.
It is how it happened in our family this year too. As I had my scheduled Sunday morning gig (my turn is always on Sunday mornings - it doesn't matter whether it is Easter or not), we had the traditional meal of hard-boiled eggs and ham yesterday evening. This morning, we woke up early and left our home without breakfast.
However, this is exactly what I am bringing today in the video - the breakfast one can have as a guest of the hotel where I play the piano. Once, I posted a guessing game about the ingredients of a smoothie I took; that post was accompanied by photos of some of the stalls with food.
Here you can serve yourself whatever you want. Just take care... if you decide to take too much food, you could have trouble with this fish. š
Of course, this was just a joke. š
Today, in the sweet section, I saw a traditional Spanish Easter pastry. It is called Mona de Pascua, originating from regions of Murcia and Valencia. It is like a sweet bread, or a simple cake which contains a hard-boiled egg in the middle, but there are also modern versions where a chocolate egg is placed in its centre.
I bought a similar Mona de Pascua yesterday for my son; it was not in this round shape but made as a lizard... and it lasted for less than a few minutes. š
What is the traditional Easter breakfast at your place? Is there any typical dish or cake that you eat during Easter time?
