Thinking that other people would be interested in what one ate for breakfast always struck me as ridiculous, a symptom of over-the-top self-centreness. Moreover, when social media first came on the scene a decade ago I latched onto that item as a simple way to dismiss it.
So why am I posting on social media a photo I took a month ago of a huge breakfast I ate (there are also 3 rashers of bacon hiding under the eggs)?
- Because of the preamble above I find it amusing
- I was staggered at how good value it was (and still is). It cost me £4.49 (US $5.76 or €5.05 at today's exchange rate). In fact, I have shown that photo to several people and raved about it.
- I want to make some posts rapidly (see previous post) and refuse to publish ones that are complete trash
- I don't expect anyone else to actually read this, tucked away in the vast "food" category.
The breakfast is from the Hungry Horse national chain, by the way. You only get that price by ordering before noon from the "Breakfast menu". Some establishments charge 50p more. I have no connection to them other than as a very satisfied customer.
