Harare Interlude 5: Deli

When in Harare, you do breakfast at Delicious in Borrowdale.

For the eggs benedict.

So unbelievably good. The eggs are well-poached, the bacon is super crispy, and the hollandaise has the perfect consistency and flavour.

My mother also insists that the cucumber is the perfect condiment. Bacon hot crisp, Cucumber cool crunch, soft egg, saucy butteriness. 

I'm just saying.

PS: but the coffee is unpleasant. No one in Harare seems to have realised that if you make cappuccinos with long life milk, then it's going to taste terrible. After some thought, I reckon that good cappuccinos have the following:

1. The right roast;
2. The right grind consistency;
3. The right amount of water expressed through the grind; and
4. The milk must not be frothed past boiling point (because then it tastes bad).

If you use long life milk, the milk has already been boiled. 

Fail by default.
