Forget paella, tortilla, or even red wine ... The Spanish staple ... chocolate milk. Spaniards drink this morning noon, and night. I´m talking ... children´s first words are "Cola Cao," posh men in suits, in bars, drinking it for breakfast, not too hungry for dinner, "have a Cola Cao,"... kind of a staple. Now if only I could find out if Mr. Cao has a nice son for Sara...
Next week´s theme is "modes of transportation" from the lovely ladybug-zen. Ian you are up next.

oh boo, am I too late to be included?
I will always remenber the spanish "chocolate con churros" I had few years ago in Madrid ...
I was already waiting for you dear. Goodmorning to you too!! Can I have breakfast at your place?? Looks simple and FAB and sooo much my taste!! SWEET.
Have a great day, XX, Carmencita
ha, ha... Everybody thinks colacao (chocolate milk) is a drink for children and people usually have coffee in the morning... I just don't have that adult side of me fully grown, you know...
Germans love their chocolate for breakfast too with the ever-famous Nutella. Loved your post.
Hi! Was wondering if I could be included in the list too! I found your blog through Francesca's.
an ex-flatmate offered me a milk chocolate made of cola cao years ago. I have to confess that at the end I ate the whole box - spoon for spoon...
and felt very guilty at the end because I coudn't find cola cao in our supermarkets to replace it...
looks yummy...I really start to have warm feeling for Spain
The Spanish do like their chocolate. When I was there, I loved the chocolate-dipped churros on a winter morning.
i remember it well :) she says as she licks her lips!
Looks delicious and I love the idea of everyone from kids to business men sipping chocolate milk.
I am really enjoying this whole corner view series and feeling very tempted to join in the fun. It's a great way to travel the world!
happy breakfast!
I posted a corner but very late.

oh, chocolate... love it 24/7.
I love chocolate milk! Here is more common to call it Nesquik... or just chocolatada...
I used to drink it every afternoon as a kid...
:D
Great shot, Jane! For us it's Ovaltine. My kids adore it, and I must admit I've been known to down a glass or two myself, especially in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. It really works!
oh no! jane, did you forget about NYC? my post is, well, posted.
and p.s. i'm moving to spain. chocolate milk and donuts for breakfast? i'm in!
sweet and sunny- like you!
Cola Cao !! Oh man, I haven't thought of that stuff in forever !! mmmmmmmmm
Is it still Wednesday in Spain ?? Mine is here ... Breakfast
cola cao? this was new for me:)
i spent some time in Spain about 10 years ago, but i somehow missed cola cao.. and churros, right?
Oh, how fun! May I please join in?
How can one resist - let's have breakfast like they do in Spain...brava!
Yum. I posted our breakfast - I loved looking through all of the links this morning, as most are so far ahead of us in time that they were into dinner by then! ;)
Yum, sounds like I would fit right in. Chocolate for breakfast.. I'm in!
love your picture !
Sounds perfect!! I love that jar full of donuts too!!
hi jane
i loved chocolat milk, but only if is really cold or really hot!!
:)
great post Jane!
I discovered that you could flavor milk in the UK, I'd never heard of chocolate (or banana or strawberry) milk before!
This corner view project is a lot of fun, thanks!
This was so much fun to look at! Can I join for next week?
can I play? explain to me? xooxox kisses
and the coffee? Please tell me there is coffee! THere must be coffee.
Hola! I just found you via sweet Joyce at a perfect beginning. Great pictures here . I grew up with chocomilk or leche con chocolate. it is still my go to comfort snack. I drink it when I can't sleep, when I am cold etc etc. Anyway, I so excited to visit you more and I have become a follower! Saludos de California y un abrazo.
Can I take my breakfast with you too ? I think your initiative is a nice idea...
Miam
I looooove your blog!!!!
And I also love Cola Cao, only I had to stop buying it because at the rate it gets drunk in my house, it was too expensive. Seriously!
Greetings from Chile
Jane, please can you add Ötli to your list of corner View links? Thanks.

Now that is my kind of breakfast!!
Jane, my dear, I'm going to bed now, but just wanted to say THANX for the great "worldtour". I have neglected my kids, my house my husband, myself.....the whole day, just to visit all these blogs ;-p Loved it big time and I'm soooo glad it's just once a week. Dear lord in heaven....I would get totally insane!!!
Jane, I had to laugh at Carmie's post. I too have neglected EVERYTHING this morning visiting everyone's blog. I hope I didn't miss anyone. Miss Kelly has been crying for her food, my love is home asking what is for dinner. Ooop do you think he will buy it that it is date night?! LOL...
PS thank goodness corner view isn't on Thursday I would have to quit my job! xoxo
tell us about the doughnuts? Krispy Kreme imported all the way from the Super Fresh on Walnut Street, Philadelphia? :) looks great in that container...
mmmmmm colacoa, yummy!
I just posted my corner view! :)
mmm yummy, I love chocolate milk but I had soy milk for breakfast today!
Yum!
Wow, I love how much I'm learning! My boys love Silk chocolate soymilk.

I could easily get addicted to this chocolate milk... Yummy :)
Jane,
I think this is one of the best ideas in blogging I've come across in a while.
Chocolate milk for breakfast. I'm down with that :)
xoxo
PS. My post was a day late- but now it's done!
Love it! Can't wait for next week!
What a funny project ... is it possible to be included?
can I try it out next week? I found your through Elizabeth (Moon ... worn as if it were a shell) .... this is a lovely connected idea :)
(I would use my "Words on Paper Scraps" blog for this)
sorry, sorry I missed the breakfast last week. I'll be on for transportation this week - the picture already taken. I so enjoyed this weeks breakfast travel around the world.
