English Breakfasts

(1) We have inherited from India the chota-hazri consisting of a large breakfast cup of coffee made with milk and accompanied by two bananas; this is served in our bedrooms at five or six in the morning before we go for our usual morning ride, which is followed by a tub and some luscious mangoes, the proper place for eating which is one’s tub! After this comes luncheon at n o’clock, or tiffin, which corresponds to the French déjeuner.
