My favourite drink in the morning is a cup of hot cappuccino milk tea mixed with milo chocolate. I love the Steam that comes out when am taking that cup of tea.

Back home in Nigeria, I will take that with agege bread and egg sauce. For my Steemian Friends who don't know what is agege bread, it is a Nigerian style of sandwich bread. I would say it is a staple of most homes. Some people always target most Agege bread hawkers coming out of bakery to buy it fresh from the oven. You can eat Agege bread with anything edible, just name it, is it groundnut, sardines, beans, tea, stew, fried or boiled egg, soup or just by itself. Personally I like to eat it with fried plantain and sausage inside.

But since they dont have agege bread in Uganda, I'll have my cup of tea with a rolex - a breakfast luxury that can be purchased on any street corner. Whipped egg is the gold setting. Precious studs of tomato and purple onion glitter across the surface like garnet and amethyst, while fine strands of cabbage sparkle like peridot. The completed jewel is nestled safely in a soft chapati wrap.

Rolex is classic Ugandan street food. The similarity to the luxury watch brand is happenstance: Once upon a time the vendors who made this treat called out “Rolled Eggs” – nothing more. The basic idea is eggs cooked with cabbage, onion, tomato, and sometimes peppers, which is then wrapped in chapati. But, as the words careened off their tongue, “Rolled Eggs” sounded more like “Rolex” to visitors. Gradually the (quite fun) misinterpretation stuck. How to prepare this African Pizza is a topic for another day.
