Scientists have recently announced that tests have proved that the world's healthiest breakfast is probably the toasted bread with grated tomatoes that is so much enjoyed in and around Cartagena.
Apparently, the calories in the bread, the cancer-fighting and vitamin properties of the tomatoes and the heart-friendly, olive oil that is poured over the top all combine to give mega health benefits and start the day off with an ideal amount of oomph.
The beloved “Full English” breakfast of eggs, bacon, tomatoes, black pudding, fried bread and so on doesn´t get a look in when it comes to the health scores – except at the top of the list of what is bad for you.
So, next time you are sitting down to breakfast in the sunshine at a pavement café, order a tostada con tomate. You will feel good all morning.
