Bauern Früstück...... Farmers' Breakfast!!

Germany, one of the strongest countries in the world, eats lots and lots of potatoes,"Kartoffeln".
Today I will share with you a recipe passed on to me by my German aunt Laura who lived in the country side outside Stuttgart. It is called Bauern Früstück or the farmers' breakfast! It consists of potatoes, eggs, sausages, and smoked bacon all mixed up together to give a hearty meal to begin your work day with.
You will need:
Serves 6
-  1 1/2 kg of potatoes par boiled and roughly cut.
-  8 sausages cut in 2 cm pieces. France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary have fantastic sausages.
-  8 fresh eggs beaten.
-  8 slices of smoked bacon roughly cut.
-  Fresh butter.
- Little bit of oil.
- Salt and pepper.
Method:
-  Melt a good lump of butter, add the oil (so that the butter does not burn), heat and add the potatoes. Mix and cook on high heat till they are crispy and have taken a nice golden color all around and are cooked inside.
-  Add the sausages and the smoked bacon mix, cook till they are done.
-  Add the beaten eggs, mix and cook till eggs are set.
Note:  you can top with grated cheese which melts.
-  Season with salt and pepper.
Note that this recipe can be made for lunch or dinner if you wish.
Et voila!! Breakfast is served.
Have a good day,
Enjoy

P.S. Be careful not to fall  asleep after this breakfast!!

    Bauern Frühstück absolutely must be accompanied by a big dill pickle. That is, you might say, the condiment for what might otherwise seem a rather mundane breakfast combo. When I lived in Germany, I ate this meal many times. It was cheap (we were students), had easy to obtain ingredients that could be kept in our pantry, which was not refrigerated, but had holes in the wall letting in the cold outside air. And it could also be cooked easily on top of our coal stove in one pan, which was handy because we had no running water other than a single tiny faucet near the floor meant to fill a mop bucket. To this day, I find it an easy supper to throw together in a hurry when I don't have anything more complicated planned. I add thin sliced onions to the recipe.

Bamia Mafroukeh--Ladies fingers with beef or lamg -Taste of Sudan.

S udan is the largest country in Africa. Lately there was a quarrel between the North and South (Juba). The reason: Oil. Chevron and other Petroleum companies found lots of Oil reserves in the South and so the fight started. I personally visited the village of Bentu, in the South during one of my visits to Chevron Oil Company in the South. As all countries, the Sudan also has its local foods. A very popular one is Molokhia which grows only in summer. Bamia, in Arabic, lady's fingers or internationally known as Okra can be readily found all year round. Bamia Mafroukeh is a delicious food eaten with the Sudanese bread called Kisra. The term Mafroukeh is act of breaking down the bamia when it well cooked to turn it into a thick, soup. There is special wooden utensil the Sudanese use. Ingredients: - 1 kg bamia Lady's fingers or Okra. - 1 kg beef or lamb bone free. - 1/2 kg fresh tomatoes cut in quarters. - 1 big onion roughly cut. - 6 cloves of garlic finely cut. -
