| Since the age of 13, I have been waking up early to prepare breakfast for my family, anything from farina — basically Cream of Wheat — to eggs, bacon and mangu, a plantain mash. |
| It had been re-transmitted by telephone from lome to Mangu, whence it had been dispatched by relays of runners to our camp. |
| And all I could take was two Aleves or two Advil, a cup of coffee, a little mangu and an egg, and go out there and let it go and face everybody that's out there. |
| Among the choices: Spanish churros with chocolate, a Peruvian quinoa and octopus salad, the Dominican farmer's breakfast of mangu, fried cheese, fried eggs and fried salami. |
