Don’t Mess with My French Toast!

How breakfast grounds us

When it comes to exotic cuisine, I’m no wimp. In Japan, I’ve eaten sashimi so fresh it was still squirming. In Iceland, I braved harkl, rotten shark. But when it comes to breakfast on the road, I prefer a simple omelet or my childhood favorite, French toast, or that old backpacker standby: banana pancakes.
