Full English Breakfast: A Ramble Through London, Wales, and Yorkshire: Travel, Adventures, and History [Paperback]

Todd Wisti (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 11, 2001

A full English breakfast is a morning meal served at many British bed & breakfasts. This meal has all the trimmings: coffee, tea, orange juice, fruit, cereal, eggs, sausages, bacon, toast, tomatoes, mushrooms, and a host of other offerings including orange marmalade and brown sauce.A ramble might be a wandering narrative, but it can also be a leisurely excursion, taking in the pleasures of the land and the peoples of the region and enjoying every minute of it (well, almost).In this trek through London, Cardiff, York, and Thirsk, you-ll encounter - along with the author and his brother, Bill - historical tourist sites, the London Underground, and public houses. Nods are given to The Beatles, Monty Python, James Herriot, and also to an impatient train car attendant, short-legged field trippers, Americans attempting to find some real food in London, as well as many other lively characters and situations. Whether you-ve been considering a trip to Britain, you-ve already visited Britain, you live in Britain, or you are content to relax in an armchair reading about Britain, Todd Wisti provides a healthy dosage of wry humor and sometimes misshapen adventures in Full English Breakfast. Foreword by Bill Wisti
