Winston Churchill's Favorite Breakfast Might Surprise You
The tenacious Brit, The Churchill Project goes on, was very fond of a full English breakfast (how patriotic of him). At his Chartwell estate, he would be served the meal on a tray that was shaped to fit around his sizable stomach, catching up on correspondence and reading the day's newspapers as he ate.
His breakfast would sometimes be garnished with whichever meat he hadn't finished from the previous day's main meal. He reportedly also liked to wash the calorie-heavy breakfast down with a glass of white wine. Those weren't the only quirks of Churchill's breakfast routine, either, which is surprising.
According to Food 52, he insisted on being served orange juice from a bottle rather than freshly squeezed, and while he enjoyed a range of meat (from grouse to sole and chicken) in the morning, he reportedly demanded both hot and cold food, rather than just one or the other. Toast, for instance, required copious chilled condiments. Finally, to complete the picture of Britishness, Food 52 adds that all of this was accompanied by hot, fresh tea, and lots of it.
