Breakfast

Breakfast, some seem to love it and want to even have it for dinners on occasion, others don’t have time for it, and skip it altogether.

Similar to “mezze,” many options are laid out to satisfy everyone’s taste. This includes Clotted Cream (Geymar), and jam, Basturma (Middle Eastern Cured Breakfast Sausage), and eggs, pita bread, various cheeses, black olives, and plenty of tea!
