Yes, codfish appeared on Bryony's breakfast tray, not a surprise for a nineteenth century fishing village. Melissa passed, but maybe a hearty serving of mashed fish and potatoes is just the thing you need to start your day.
On this particular morning, Melissa lifted the food trays and found
potatoes mashed with fish, cottage cheese balls, rice pancakes, and sliced
orange in syrup. It was not her typical breakfast back home, but it was
surprisingly delicious, except for the potatoes, which she ignored. Bryony, Chapter15: Playing Bryony
