The breakfast of champions. "Pap" (not pictured) is the South African version of grits, blacks eat it as a starch with almost every meal. Other hot breakfast starches are oatmeal a.k.a. porridge! They thought it was weird when I asked for cinnamon for my oatmeal. They thought cinnamon was only for making pancakes. In South Africa, pancakes are called flapjacks and they call "crepes" pancakes. So I have to keep that in mind while visiting restaurants! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_S0OQp__FHII/SEBdzKJCNzI/AAAAAAAAADM/427FmA8avVM/s1600-h/DSC01720.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_S0OQp__FHII/SEBdzKJCNzI/AAAAAAAAADM/427FmA8avVM/s400/DSC01720.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206264302717253426" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_S0OQp__FHII/SEBdU6JCNyI/AAAAAAAAADE/ScoB6SjrOng/s1600-h/DSC01721.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_S0OQp__FHII/SEBdU6JCNyI/AAAAAAAAADE/ScoB6SjrOng/s400/DSC01721.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206263783026210594" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6105956370820943502-4620488921655376941?l=thecouchman.blogspot.com'/></div>Steve Couchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05217104589503545144noreply@blogger.com0
