Letter from Burma ; Breakfast Blue

Breakfast Blue

To understand the difficulties of housekeeping, let us look at what it involves to produce just the first meal of the day.

Breakfast for many people in Burma is fried rice.

Usually it is a mixture of cooked rice and other leftovers from the evening before, vegetables, meat or shrimps; sometimes an egg or two is stirred into it; sometimes there might be a sprinkling of thinly sliced Chinese pork sausage; sometimes a variety of steamed beans sold by vendors in the early hours of the morning might be added.

It is a fairly substantial and tasty meal.

  1. Curious juxtaposition - breakfast babble and the front cover of one of Daw Suu's books. Am I missing some arcane connection?
