This morning I was just sitting down to a typical Honduran breakfast--coffee, beans, and crema* (in the beans, not the coffee)--when my daughter approached and asked what I was doing.
"I'm eating breakfast," I replied.
With surprise and a bit of what passes for derision in a three year old she declared:
"But beans aren't for breakfast!"
And I doubt most Honduran children would know what to make of her AppleJacks® either.
* "What is crema?", you may ask. I'm not entirely sure. I know that it is made from milk, has a consistency a bit creamier than sour cream, and that I like the taste far better than sour cream. I would say it is not as tangy as sour cream.
