This morning my dad made a special breakfast for me.

Eggs, bacon, bread, patata, and pere e noci.

Yeah, the last three words are in Italian.

I am still studying Italian and my dad and I have this game going on, he tests me to see if I say all the food on my plate in Italian. Of course I haven’t learn how to say plate in Italian, yet (I will after I blog).

Anyways, back to my breakfast.

Patata means potato and pere e noci means pears and walnuts.

The special part of the breakfast was the combination of the patata and the pere e noci. He boiled the patata and then put pere e noci jam on them. The jam is made by Maida Farm in Campania, Italy.

The jam is fruit preserves made with fresh fruit and sugar. It made my breakfast sweet and healthy.

I think pere e noci is a good combination in general. A while ago I blogged about a salad I made at church. It was an idea I got from Martina from Gustiamo. She served salad, pere e noci (the pears and the walnuts were not in a jam) one day for lunch. The jam reminded me of the salad.
