Breakfast – Muesli

Now I would like presented to You something healthily and easy to make.



Muesli was introduced around 1900 by the Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner for patients in his hospital, where a diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables was an essential part of therapy. It was inspired by a similar "strange dish" that he and his wife had been served on a hike in the Swiss Alps. Bircher-Benner himself referred to the dish simply as "d'Spys" (Swiss German for "the dish", in German "die Speise"). Muesli in its modern form became popular in western countries starting in the 1960s as part of increased interest in health food and vegetarian diets.Traditional muesli was eaten with orange juice and not milk.*

Coffee in Portugal

Galao
A Galao is made with espresso coffee. A little bit of it is put in tall glass mug or tall glass and then hot milk is added. Perfect if you're looking for something to drink with your breakfast. If you'd like it heavier on the coffee, specify Galao Escuro. If you'd like it heavier on the milk, specify Galao Claro.



Carioca
Carioca For those of you that don't want something quite as strong as a regular espresso, you may order a carioca. It's still an espresso and still served in the same little cup. But an espresso is a result of the first time water is run thru ground coffee and out of the espresso machine into your cup. The process of making a carioca is the same except that you use the ground coffee that's already been used to make an espresso. So the water that's going to make your cup of coffee is running through the ground coffee a second time resulting in it being a little weaker.
um Garoto
Weak, milky espresso – “um garoto” is a full espresso cup made from grounds that have already been run through with water, then the cup is filled with milk. “Garoto” means little boy and the coffee is so called because this is the coffee that would be given to boys to introduce them to the flavour.


enjoy your coffee!
