Day 7 – It’s Time for Breakfast!

You made it safely to your hotel and feel fast asleep. You’ve now woken up and are ready to start your day. Before you start, however, you need to eat some breakfast. Imagine that you and your whanau have walked out of the hotel and into a restaurant across the street. At the restaurant you are offered a traditional breakfast meal. Scroll through the examples below to see a picture of what is commonly eaten in your country for breakfast.

Activity 1

Compare the picture of common breakfast foods in the country you’ve chosen with what you typically eat for breakfast here in New Zealand. I usually have a bowl of sultana bran cereal with trim milk and a cup of tea. What about you? On your blog, please tell us:

1. What you eat for breakfast
2. What people in your chosen country eat for breakfast
3. Which of the two breakfast options (your breakfast or the breakfast in the other country) you prefer. Why do you prefer it?

Every day for breakfast I don't usually eat the same every time. I usually eat eggs, drink a cup of milo, toast and other kids of stuff I eat.

The people from my chosen country eat brotchen (bread), hot beverages, wurst (sausages), chesse and other kinds of other foods.

I would prefer my own breakfast because I haven't even tasted any from my chosen country. I also would prefer my own breakfast because it taste yummy and delicious.

Activity 2

Some of the most famous foods to come out of New Zealand include kiwifruit, lamb, whitebait, oysters, tuatua (shellfish), kumara, bacon and egg pie, hokey pokey ice cream, lolly cake, anzac biscuits and pavlova. Take a picture of you (or someone you know!) eating one of these famous ‘kiwi’ foods. Post the picture to your blog. Underneath the picture tell us what they are eating.

Here is my sister eating a kiwifruit. (She gave me permission to use this photo) She was suppose to eat it in real life but she did not have any of the famous foods. Here is the image attribution . Thanks to Amelia for letting me use her image here is a Link to her blog.
