The Girovago

Breakfast at Alistair's

It may sound entirely illogical to anyone who's not a Brit but after months in Milan there's nothing that I miss more than a good fry-up. Each sunday morning I awake and sigh with nostalgia for the weekends spent at my French boy's pad in delightful Dalston from where we would depart for the most delightful fry-ups at this amazing Turkish place in Stoke Newington. For a fiver you could start you Sunday and end your hangover with the best fry-up in North London and when finished with a fag in one hand and the Sunday Times in the other we would gaze lazily at each other with the knowledge that we had stuffed our little bellies so much that there was no choice but to sit there chilling for an hour or so to give our stomachs a chance to start digesting. It was pure bliss!

So you can understand my delight, after eons of being facing the daily cappuccino + brioche routine, when I stumbled across this feature in The American, of all places, all about this British dude who does Fry Ups in Milan. Hallelujah! I'll be checking it out this weekend and will keep you posted on how it rates.
