A hot bowl of menudo or tortilla soup.
And a steaming hot cup of cocoa, served Mexican style! (Ibarra brand preferred, molinillo optional)

Mmmmm, I'm thinking either a thick, creamy potato soup, or French onion, complete with crusty bread and melted cheese on top.
But Ibarra chocolate sounds good .... I often eat it straight out of the package!
For those of you who can't get real Mexican hot chocolate, you can fake it by putting a little cinnamon in regular hot chocolate. But it helps to melt down some real chocolate, not just pour powder out of a pouch.....

Sounds good. I think on a cold, rainy night I'd go for clam chowder soup with crusty, buttery sourdough bread. Maybe even have the clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl, although that's packing in way too many carbs.

That's just going to go straight to your abs.

What do you use for filling? Cinnamon sugar? You will serve that to me when I visit you, right? I'd also like some plaatkoekies for breakfast with lots of butter and a smidgen of marmite. And I'd like my coffee served with karringmelkbeskuits please.

Those are plain ol' crepes, to me. Not that crepes aern't wonderful. Just not as wonderful as that bread bowl full of clam chowder that's calling Julian's abs!

Cinnamon suger, yes, for traditional pannekoek. But you can use all kinds of fillings, curried chicken, savoury mince, bolognaise... That's when you're serving it as a meal. When you serve it as a dessert, it gets fillings such as caramel and banana, strawberries and cream...

Not in my house, you won't!  That's just wrong. You eat plaatkoekies with syrup or honey, and if you really want to be extravagent, with syrup/honey and cream.  And if you're really, really nice with me, and beg a lot, I will add some cheese... 
| Quote: | | And I'd like my coffee served with karringmelkbeskuits please. |
No problem, but you'll have to make up your mind, of course. If you have your first coffee of the morning with karringmelkbeskuit, that's your breakfast, then you can't have plaatkoekies as well.  Oh very well, I'll serve you karringmelkbeskuit with your eleven o'clock coffee.

Of course, I will have to teach you how to dump your beskuit in your coffee....

Similar, but not the same thing! For starters, ours are thicker...

But why can't I have my coffee and beskuit for la merienda? Don't you guys do midafternoon snacks?
Do mosbolletjies taste any good?

Well, sure, you can have beskuit with your four o'clock coffee as well, no problem!
Mosbolletjies are excellent! Soft, sweetish, excellent with the four o' clock coffee. If it's still hot, lovely to have with butter, melting into it. If cold, lovely with jam (which you would call jelly, for some strange reason, here jelly is something completely different ) and butter.

Now let's see... there's morning coffee, after getting up (or preferably in bed). Then there's coffee with breakfast. Then eleven o'clock coffee. Also coffee with lunch. That should hold you until four o'clock coffee. Then coffee again with dinner, and of course evening coffee. And of course, the occasional coffee break.
Afrikaners are big on coffee! We don't drink much tea, that's for sissies... er, I mean, for English people.

Well, the typical Afrikaner hasn't slept since 1934!
Though, even without coffee we're an energetic lot. Jeez, we're less that 10% of the population of our country, but we have the rest of the country thinking of us daily! Or perhaps it is the coffee... 
Don't tell our government, though. They'll ban coffee, and then we'd have the Afrikaners angry..... And then we'd have trouble.... You can take away our schools, our cultural festivals, our sepies, but when you touch our coffee. you die!...
