Oh I am loathing this American-ification of everything.
I got an early appointment in the city tomorrow and I figured hey, why not treat myself to breakfast afterward. And since I hate walking into a place, seeing the menu and thinking "nope" and having to walk out again, I figured I'd look it up online first.
I've looked through the menus of ten cafés now and only found two that actually have... normal German breakfast.
Every other place has shit like avocado toast, "breakfast bowls" (stop putting all foods into one bowl I am biting you, meals belong on plates), American pancakes with maple syrup, bagels, porridge, hummus (for breakfast?!).
And look, I am not objecting to also including trendy American foods on your menu, but if these are the only options you offer and I can't find a single traditional German breakfast on your menu, then that is just... devastating, to me.
If you're a gimmick café that is specifically American cuisine, that would also be different, but a regular, German café needs to offer a regular, German breakfast.
It should absolutely include at the very-fucking-least the most basic German breakfast platter - bread rolls, hard-boiled egg, marmalade, butter, wurst and/or cheese, and the option to pay more for salmon or a croissant. That's the basic "I am going out to have breakfast at a café" menu. The one on every breakfast menu, for as long as I can remember going out for breakfast.
I can acknowledge that for reasons beyond my personal taste, people really love avocados. But if your menu includes three variations of avocado toast but not a single cheese or wurst option - and you are not an explicitly vegan place, like, there is bacon on this menu too - then something is just really, really fucked up here.

i like the idea of those two old gays playing footsy under the table and will is delighting in it because he thinks he's scuffing up hannibal's shiny waxed shoes with his plain sneakers or boots, but hannibal lets will do this and enjoys the contact because this is will we are talking about and hannibal enjoys anything will does to him, with the intention to cause mild harm or not

They should sell pancake batter in like milk cartons. Finished pancake batter that you can just pour out. Too much prep for pancakes they should come premade in a little carton or bottle. A bag perhaps

any evie and keira birthday headcannons from yesterday?
keira got the best birthday present early - filing the adoption and change of name papers for evie just before the wembley match but evie didn't know she and lucy did that
on her actual birthday, it's tradition to have pancakes. evie is friends with everyone, including the chefs so she persuaded them to let her cook pancakes for the whole team for breakfast on keira's birthday. obviously, she didn't make all the pancakes herself just she made a lot of them. they also needed a cake and the chefs helped her make that again while everyone else was in training that morning
she wakes keira up after letting her have a line in with a cup of tea that she made her (in a flask because the chefs didn't trust her not to spill it) and gave her the homemade card that she'd had lotte's help making
her present was a new photo frame that she decorated to replace the one she made years ago that said Kei on it instead of Mama. she only brought one to camp but she also has four others decorated in different ways at home. the one she brought to camp has her favourite photo of the two of them in and she even wrapped it herself. then there was obviously birthday cuddles before evie got too impatient and dragged her mama downstairs so she could make her and everyone else pancakes
