Food Porn Daily: Egg cup with toast soldiers
When I was a kid, I loved reading novels by Enid Blyton, E. Nesbit and Noel Streatfeild. They all wrote British young adult fiction set in the forties and fifties. I read these books for the stories, but more than that, I loved them for the descriptions of the food. I gobbled up the detailed listings of of cakes, boiled vegetables and egg cups with toast soldiers. This image of this soft boiled egg and homemade toast soldier make me think of all those stories and now all I want to do is settle down to a breakfast of eggs and toast, with a nice cup of tea.
