I love English breakfast muffins – they’re the base for one of my very favourite things in the world, Eggs Benedict. Toasted English muffins, topped with ham or bacon, poached eggs and a liberal coating of one of the French mother sauces, Hollandaise, and you’ve got sex, right in your mouth. There’s just something magical about the harmony of a lemon infused, butter and egg yolk emulsion drizzled over softly poached eggs that’s downright exciting, and a mighty fine start to the day.
Sometimes though, you want something a little less refined. Something that’s less dainty, and more the sort of thing you just grab and stuff in to your gob. Essentially the same, but with a fried egg and bacon instead of a poached one and ham. Replace the hollandaise with melted cheese and HO GOD CAN I JUST EAT IT ALREADY?

If you ever around Old Mutual Head Office over lunch time, pop into Mutual Mall place called Shah’s that do “authentic” Durban Indiantake-aways. Roti’s, curries, masala steak dishes. They do turn the heat for us Capies.
