Another Day, Another Diet

To get the day started, there's two slices of toast, one with Spanish Paté. The Spanish make lots of wonderful food but two things they can't make at all well are cakes, which are mostly focussed on sweetness not flavour, and paté, which is universally thin and spongey and not at all like those delicious thick creamy patés produced in Belgium.

Later on, I had a cereal bowl of Basmati Rice and Chicken Curry with as much salad as I could fit in on top; a slice of toast with Smoked Peppered Mackerel; a bowl of fresh Pineapple with Crema Catalan; two slices of toast; and two biscuits.
