Lately I’ve been expanding my breakfast roster… mostly because I realized breakfast is the only meal I can be bothered to eat properly. The rest of the day I can’t even be assed to feed myself. A while back I saw a heroine in some eroge who loves mashed potatoes, and watching her eat got me hungry as hell, so I went and made some myself.

Lately I’ve been eating the same few things for breakfast and that’s really not ideal, so I decided to develop something new. Breakfast, well, in a lot of places it has its own specific requirements: It has to be fast, mornings are short on time. It has to be balanced, basically you need a bit of meat and a bit of veg. It has to taste good. If you eat a pile of vomit-like stuff in the morning, your whole day is ruined. So recently I made this thing I have no idea what to call.

Asparagus is a good thing, or at least that’s what I gather from all the foreigners I see eating it for breakfast. Nutritious, not too heavy on calories, and it crunches nicely when you bite in — for a moment there you feel like a panda… I spent a while figuring out the best way to eat asparagus. Pan-fry it straight? Stir-fry it with rice? In the end I decided bacon is the best match. Hence this bacon-wrapped asparagus.
