We have threads for other meals but not for breakfast.
So I'll start:
I had eggs scrambled with sambar powder (mixture of spices for veg, like a spicy ratatouille) and celery. It was good but could have been better with more celery for taste and perhaps a third egg to fill me up.
What about you?
-
Ricicles. :-[
-
1/2 grapefruit, 2 rounds of toasted sunflower & linsed bread, mug of coffee, orange juice.
I have the same most mornings, but often have a croisant instead of toast.
If it is cold & frosty, I often have porridge instead of the above.
-
A glass of Tropicana Orange with bits.
A bowl of raw porridge oats with LOTS of raisins and milk.
A pint mug of 50/50 Instant/decaf gold roast coffee.
-
A sausage butty and cappucino at Stansted services. Neither were that nice.
-
Beans on toast (with Tabasco sauce on the beans and Marmite on the toast).
-
Oatmeal porridge and freshly made black coffee.
-
Alendronic acid as a starter then a bowl of freddies and a cup of tea.
-
Wow if the Osteo stuff makes an appearance just say so.= I have a shoulder like you have a shoulder etc etc but none the less fascinating for that.
-
Birchermuesli :P

Sorry, I don't understand this post.
-
Wholemeal toast and flora - I keep trying to have healthy porridge but I do love my toast....
-
People have mentioned tea and coffee, which reminds I forgot to mention a mug of strong, black tea. It's the first thing I do as soon as I get up and I take it so much for granted now, I didn't think to mention it. In the words of Arthur Ransom, "the most important part of the most important meal of the day."

Neither do I.
-
Bacon and egg sandwiches and three cups of tea :P
-
Orange juice, mussels and cockles*, barley porage with apricots and Agen prunes, bread and honey, tea.
*Fish or shellfish for Saturday breakfast being an old tradition where I come from.

Sounds nice. Who does cornflakes n toast for breakfast ? Not sure about the porridge ? porage ? though >>>>>>>>>
-
Bran flakes, prunes and Bombay mix. That should do the trick.
-
Hotel breakfast: Orange juice, coffee, bowl of muesli, two slices toast + butter + jam/marmalade. Can seldom face Full English.
-
Same as I do every breakfast, a banana and a cup of tea
-
Would that be the first or the second breakfast?
-
Friday: porridge with lots of raisins, and shreddies for the boy.
Today: fancied muesli but due to lack of liquid cow I had more eggs, this time with cumin seeds, garlic and capsicum.

Fish being traditionally left over from Friday night, maybe?
-
Perhaps, but one of my early memories is going down to the shore at sunrise with father and coming home with a bag of winkles, whelks and mussels for mother to cook.
-
That's interesting, must have meant some early mornings! Now I have to ask, where do you come from?
-
At the time I was living in Ulverston, about 200 yards from Morcambe Bay. Treading for flooks (flounders to most of the world) was a later pastime, walk about in shallowish water in either bare feet or canvas soled waders and when you feel a fish tickle the soles of your feet, reach down and grab it.
-
Strong black coffee, prunes and and Alpro soya yogurt.
-
bacon, scrambled eggs , toast and some strong black coffee
-
Bran flakes with grapes.
I really could do with some ideas on how to make a grape peeling machine.
-
Toast with MIL's home-made orange marmalade. Strong black coffee.
Seems that marmalade is on the wane these days. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
-
Swedish flatbread with hummus. Coffee.
-
Hotel breakfast; muesli, orange juice, coffee.
Could face nothing else.
Now hungry on trolley-free train, with ETA StP 15.18....
-
Traditional English this morning. Two cups of coffee and a fag.
-
Muesli. I think there must have been something else (in addition to tea, obv) but I can't now remember. :-[ ::-)
-
In a mild hurry this morning, so muesli with hidden weetabix. Ana sticka celery.
-
Porage and an Actimel drink.
-
An expresso & marmalade on granary toast.
-
Today it was two weetabics with puffed wheat on top and lots of milk. Oh dear, not a good one.
-
Bread needed eating up. Toast with various jams and Marmite.
-
Back to eggs today. Scrambled with garlic, celery and a lot of sambar powder. Mmmm! The celery is good in its own right but also provides cooling contrast to the spices. Then I rode down the hill to the bakery and when I returned had a couple of slices of still-warm granary bread and butter, and "Bishopston brownies". More mmmmmm!
-
This morning my breakfast was the cold roast veg - potatoes, parsnips, carrots, courgettes, onions and aubergines - which I had found still warm in the oven when I got home yesterday. They're just as tasty cold as warm. :)
-
Bowl of honey and nut cornflakes and a cup of tea this morning after making the clans packed lunches.
I then rode to work where I had a mug of tea.
1 hour after arrival at the desk, the post ride breakfast comprised of 3 slices of toast (granary)- 2 with "I can't believe people can't believe it's not butter" and one with Vegemite and another mug of tea.
-
I had toast with the very very last bit of the jam that fboab posted me.
It was yummy.
-
toast with W.I. damson jam
-
Nothing :-[ I must remember to eat breakfast.
-
I think I had toast this morning, but I don't remember. :o What I do remember is that Little Cudzo got up and made his own breakfast (he had his fave cereal combo, one weetabix topped up with shreddies) while I was still asleep! :thumbsup:
-
Mashed banana, yoghurt, oats and a splash of orange juice all mixed up = "muesli"; 2 pints of tea.
-
Post-sculling bread & Marmite / peanut butter / superb farmer's market marmalade (no, not all on the same piece), & two mugs expresso.
And a piece of yesterday's banana & coconut cake. Hungry.
-
3 wheetabix with raisins, honey and hot milk. Piece of baguette with jam, cup of fresh coffee.
-
I had toast with the very very last bit of the jam that fboab posted me.

I'll bring some up with me next month :thumbsup:

porridge
-
Nothing yet as I am waiting for SWMBO to get up but then our normal Saturday morning non fried fry up...yummmmmm.... ;D
-
This morning we are having porridge, when the rest of the house decides to crawl out of their respective pits...
-
For some reason I ran the last two posts together in my mind and ended up with fried porridge. Now there's something I won't be trying. In all likelihood.
I had eggs which were halfway between scrambled and omelette with courgette, red peppers and garlic. And pasta!
-
No milk in the house this morning, so couldn't have porridge, which was what I really wanted. No bread either and I didn't fancy eggs (had some yesterday) so instead I soaked some muesli in apple juice. It was good.
-

One of my favourites, which I haven't had for ages, is to soak some dried fruit overnight in water then use it in the (the fruit) in my cereal, and the soaking liquid to wet said cereal.
Works best with Granola and dried fruit that tastes of something, i.e. not dried apple. Does not work with dried bananananananananana
-
Talking of banana, we've got in the fridge right now some juice which is apple, carrot and bananananana. Tastes good, but god knows how many banas they must need, the things have hardly any juice in them. Mind you, it is only 9% bana.
-
muesli in apple juice. It was good.
That's what I had - but with granola.
My normal breakfast is porridge soaked in apple juice (soaked overnight - I make 2 or 3 days worth at a time), with a spoonful or two of natural yoghurt, some fresh blueberries, and some toasted flaked almonds. I have that nearly every day, varying the fruit.
-
a gentle hangover this morning, so the worlds best bacon with scrambled eggs. Nom.
-
If I'm not cycling I have toast & thick cut marmalade.If I'm cycling I@ll hace porridge with bananna & honey
-
Still off the bike after my off Friday before last so no breakfast yet. I will have some toas and yeast extract soon.
-
Chopped mango and banana, mixed with peach yoghurt. Nom.
And COFFEE.
-
Porridge and half spoon honey.
-
The supermarket own-brand equivalent of Ready-brek, with a spoonful of Nutella and a liberal sprinking of cinnamon. Om and nom.
When Rob realised the additions to my breakfast, he said 'You've even turned your breakfast into a pudding'...

My mate ang took me out for brekkie :thumbsup:

For some reason I ran the last two posts together in my mind and ended up with fried porridge. Now there's something I won't be trying. In all likelihood.
One of my favourite morning food treats is breakfast pancakes - oats, milk, eggs and chopped bacon mixed into a thick batter and cooked on the griddle. It's essentially a cross between a fry-up and porridge and it's truly delicious. Try it - you might like it!

That's very similar to my usual breakfast - porridge made with water but with cooked apple mixed in, topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of toasted almonds. Sometimes have blueberries or cherries as well as/instead of apple.

I think I might - but without the bacon.
-
Fat toast with Wowbagger marmalade on it.
Wow, indeed. Absolutely delicious. But I think it's put hairs on my chest.
-
"Wowbagger marmalade" ... Wrinkly skin is natural, but even it resembles orange peel that's no reason to cook the poor chap!

Porridge with dates, cinnamon & honey.
Toast & 2x espresso.
Mmmmm.

My "breakfast" this "morning" was three quarters of a jam doughnut eaten at about ten-thirty. It had gone a bit dry because it had been on the table since before four o'clock when Little and Mrs Cudzo had left for their early morning flight.

I think it needs the bacon, not sure it'd work so well without. Maybe replace the bacon with something else - smoked salmon, perhaps. Or a bit of cheese. Or just some fresh herbs and crank up the seasoning slightly.
d.
-
Maybe a bit of cheese. For some reason I imagine gruyere would go well. It would be better than a doughnut! What proportion of eggs, milk and oats do you use?
-
Maybe a bit of cheese. For some reason I imagine gruyere would go well. It would be better than a doughnut! What proportion of eggs, milk and oats do you use?
Yes, I imagine gruyere would work quite well.
Proportions are something like 100g of oats, 2 eggs and no more than half a pint of milk. I tend to go by feel rather than measure precisely, but you want the batter to be pretty thick. And let it stand for a bit to allow the oats to soak up the milk - microwave oats are good as they're quite fine so soak it up quickly, or if you use normal porridge oats, you can whizz them up briefly in a food processor if you like, for the same effect.

Thanks, I might try that tomorrow.

A vegetable spring roll. I like hangover food.

If you allow fried, fermented porridge, then you'd come up with something not unlike these:-

Spring roll is hangover food?!

What exactly are they? In addition to fried, fermented porridge. And how do you ferment the porridge? It sounds potentially unhealthy!
-

Look like Staffordshire oatcakes to me. And you ferment them the usual way - by adding yeast. It's no more unhealthy than making bread!

I was thinking fermented as in sour milk. Potentially yummy, potentially (this is becoming word of the day, I must try not to use it again) vomitous.
-

Crunchy veg, deep-fried. Perfect hangover food!
-
1st breakfast was marmalade on toast,2 slices & coffee
2nd breakfast was porridge & fresh orange juice

CCabbage and tomato stew! It was better than yesterday's doughnut.

hofc? Ah, just got it - house of fine coffee, yes?
-
a bucketload of porridge
-
Crinklycake! ;D
-
Fresh pineapple and yoghurt , lovely
-
3 chocolate chip brioche, 2 doughnuts 2 x toast & marmalde, 3 mugs of hotwaterwithmilk.
I'm staaaaarrrrving!
-
There's only one breakfast for snow: porage, porage, and more porage!
-
That's what I had this morning - and then I had loads of flapjack on the ride. I'm all oated up.
-
I tried citoyen's breakfast pancake. Mine was a bit Mk1 but has potential - certainly filling though and I will try again.
-
I had porridge with muscovado sugar stirred in. Hmmmmmm.
-
Huge bowl of porridge with raisins and honey. 2x very thick toast with butter (Mrs B's yummy home-made bread with coriander seeds).
It lasted me until 3pm (with a 3 hour interlude of snowy off-road).
-
Coffee. Then, after a little snowman building to.build up the appetite, cold pizza (dirty food. Nom) and CAIK.
-
Egg, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes. Toast and Marmite. Just like God intended.
Yesterday I made American style pancakes. Much thicker and creamier batter than standard pancakes. Making, surprisingly, a thicker pancake. Eaten with maple syrup. Nom.
-
The usual two 'nanas, chunks of pineapple, a bowlful of oats, homemade yogurt, honey and moo-juice - all szhooshed-up with a blender - making almost a litre of liquid frankenporridge, or lumpie (as opposed to smoothie) depending on how you look at it. I'll often substitute strawbs or raspberries for the 'napple when they're in season. Used to make my own ultramuesli involving pistachios, pecans and berries too (which I could eat all day long) but it's just too expensive nowadays.
And a gallon of Assam/Breakfasty tea.

(http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p115/quisling_photos/67bc9422.jpg)
Homemade bread:
1 lb organic bread flour (50/50 white and wholemeal) - well actually it's 15oz as I added substituted 1oz for various seeds (see below)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1.5 teaspoons yeast, activated with half pint warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar
1 table spoon linseeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
beaten egg (from my chickens) wash and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds on top.
Served with homemade plum jam (plums from neighbour).
-
Only one loaf for breakfast? :D
Can you actually taste the olive oil or is it just for texture? We love bread soaked in olive oil - not sure it would go with plum jam though!
-
Cup of tea before short but v cold pedal, usual 4 Weetabix with lots of hot milk and brown sugar on return.

Texture - you can't taste it. Not that I'm particularly convinced it makes much difference to the texture either....

Pre-breakfast conversation this morning:
"What's for breakfast?"
"I'm going to make some porridge but you can have something different if you want."
"Have we got any jaffa cakes?"
You'll have to try harder than that! (In fact I didn't make porridge, I had eggses all dlembcars up and he made himself a bowl of cereal).
-
Breakfast is usually a bowl of porridge made with water, with a teaspoon or two of honey stirred in. A cup of tea beside it.
If I have anything else - for example, the Sainsbury's cereal I've been buying, or toast & honey - I should have my wrist slapped.
-
Usually a 2 egg omelet/fritatta made the night before, with either a small handful of sausage or crispy bacon.

Just out of curiousity, do you make your porridge with water because you prefer the taste or because of an ethical avoidance of milk? Or maybe it's both or neither?
-
Bit of both. I used to use milk, but when I was a vegan I stopped, and realised the porridge tasted just as good. Of course, I didn't have honey in it back then. May come a time when I don't again.
Oh - and I should have my wrist slapped. I had porridge and toast this morning :-[
-
1/3rd oatbran, 1/3rd ready brek, 1/3rd oats, with sweetened soya milk. I eat them cold, in a thick slurry. I often eat it for lunch and dessert too. It is delicious.
-
I had what I always have. Two cups of coffee and no fags.
-

FTFY
-
Today's porridge, kindly made for me by my wife, had strawberries, blueberries and diced mango in it. Hmm. A bit sweet for my tastes. Blueberries are fine in porridge, as are raspberries, but strawberries and mango can consider themselves crossed off my list of acceptable porridge adjuncts.

Banana flavoured Rego and coffee - I'm on liquids/soft stuff for another 24hrs until my new crown has settled.
I could absolutely murder a steak ...

Your correction is, er, correct. ;D

I have learned that it's good to use 60ml of olive oil (4tbs in 20th c. units) in wholemeal loaves(a bit under 1kg), with lots of seeds, in the breadmaker. It's not for taste (try a different oil to see). "Texture" seems to be the wrong label for 'it's fine when it's freshly baked, but you should have put preservatives in it to stop it drying out after a couple of days'.
Fresh bread for breakfast is one of life's great pleasures.
But so is porridge.
-
Breakfast is one of life's great pleasures, or can be.

Weisswurst with sweet mustard. Traditional Bayernisch fayre, albeit eaten in the UK without having them with wheat beer. Bought from the German Deli near Borough Market, London.
-
A big mug of tea, two pancakes with maple syrup and fresh strawberries*, some of yesterday's guardian** and 25 minutes of peace and quiet before the boys figured out that dad was awake.

The usual: banana porage.
-
A beef burger sandwich.
-
Cheese and cabbage sandwiches again, but it was 'bleu d'auvergne' this time.

Soggy toast :sick:
-
A croissant filled with gooey chocolate- chosen from the fine range of pastries at the CTC bike breakfast on the industrial estate.
-
Perhaps that should be moved to "the what have you eaten today that you shouldn't have" thread.
Not that I regret it in any way. I could do with another as it goes.
-
Have another one then & post about it in the other thread
a win all round :D
-
Excellent toast with marmalade + coffee :P
-
This morning Mrs Cudzo made breakfast for all of us. She only does this rarely, but when she does, it's very good. We had white cheese, mixed with plain yogurt, with radishes and chives (or were they spring onions?) to spread on homemade bread. It was good.
-
I have the same every day one vitamin + iron tablet, banana and a cup of tea
-
Two cups of coffee anna fag.

Bit short of time this morning.
-
Porridge, which is what I always have. I make it with half soya milk and half water and add my own mix of seeds. I do confess to having some sugar on it though (kept in a jar containing a vanilla pod for extra flavour). Wash down with tea with a slice of lemon (no milk or sugar).
-
David had porridge with sliced fresh pear and tea, I had muesli with yogurt and milk, orange juice and coffee.

Well that's a phrase to remember! Hmm, śniadanie dziwki... No, sounds a lot better in French.
-
Soya yoghurt with a chopped banana and some agave syrup to sweeten. Just swapped over from my 'winter' breakfast, which is porridge with a chopped banana instead.
Hubby prefers the 'Italian breakfast' - an espresso and a fag.
-
Bite size shredded wheat, sultanas to sweeten, sliced banana, a spoonful of home made full fat yogurt and some semi-skimmed milk to moisten. My "summer" breakfast" as a rule.

Salad !? I had a box full of very fresh veggies delivered at my door at 5am and they looked and smelled so good that a mixed salad with tomatoes, red bell pepper and green salad and a dash of balsamico :smug:
-
Had a night of family emergencies, so decided this morning I needed the fortifying properties of PANCAKES. Made sourdough pancakes with apple and dried fruit, served with maple syrup. Coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice on the side. Feeling a little more human now; the in-laws are arriving in a bit, so hopefully they can pull toddler duty while I go out for a ride...
-
Aseasonal crumpets with honey.
-
Big, fat pitta breads with tomatoes, cucumber, basil leaves, feta cheese and chives, and strawberries in white cheese and yogurt for desert. Chives do not go well with feta — it's too salty.
Aseasonal crumpets with honey.
Is it the honey that makes the crumpets aseasonal or is it just the wrong season for crumpets?
-
Pierogi. Large ones, cos handmade by the fair hand of Mrs Cudzo. But that was yesterday.
-
Croissants!
In Derbyshire!
I know!
We're so cosmo.
-
Raspberries, peaches, strawberries, Greek yoghurt. And coffee. And coffee.
-
Ah, MrsCudzo announced last week that she would have strawberries and coffee for breakfast every day for a week. But she didn't.
(Blueberries* in white cheese on bread I made last night, this morning.)
*Or were they bilberries? The big fat ones which are white inside, not the little black ones; American not European, so I guess that makes them bilberries.
-
Nothing yet as David has not emerged from the pit and we breakfast together.
The porridge I made awaits attention.
It is 13.05...
-
Homemade brown bread toasted, one bit with peanut butter and another with gooseberry jam made by my folks. Lots of coffee.
-

Thanks! I always think bilberry sounds like a folksy variant on blueberry so asume it's the American version. (They grow a long way south of the subarctic though – they're abundant in the forests in southern Poland, which are the same latitude as southern England.)

My Devonian* mother refers to them as Whortleberries. I rember picking them from a massive patch on the top of a mountain in Austria on family holidays, at about 1500m up.
*From Devon not the Devonian period

Porridge microwaved with raisins already in. Recently I had been making it the night before, runnier than usual and covering with a plate until morning. The raisins are almost restored to grapeliness by then, sweet and bursty. This technique to save time for the earlier work routine.

Sourdough apple and raisin pancakes, yoghurt and some raspberries, tea, coffee.

Coffee a fag and a walnut whip. I am very naughty today.

A rather splendid late breakfast/early lunch. A toasted wholemeal bagel, bacon, black pudding, posh Italian sausages with fennel and scrambled duck eggs. Freshly ground coffee and Rachmaninov No 2.
-
Coffee a fag and a walnut whip. I am very naughty today.
I haven't seen a Walnut Whip for years.
Mine was an attempt pat to be healthy - I'm back on weight watchers. I soaked porridge Oates in up homemade fat free yoghurt over night and added blueberries and cinnamon.
-
Too Premier Inn much (but fairly modest by many people's distorted standards).
One orange juice.
One bowl fresh fruit salad topped with natural yoghurt.
One 50g sachet Kellogg's Muesli with semi-skimmed milk.
One mug white coffee.
We're back home now: small breakfasts and fast broadband: Yum!
-
For some reason I had a hankering for popcorn this morning. So salted popcorn for brekkie it was.
-
I popped the salted popcorn from my Graze box this afternoon.
The popcorns usually hang about for WEEKS cos I'm too lazy to get up to pop them.
-
I'm on weightwatchers so popcorn -albeit not a great breakfast choice - is a free food on the healthy and filling plan. I've been struggling to find corn to pop, if all else fails I will be join graze.
-
2 fried eggs on muffins and a can of rice pudding.
-

Sainsbury's list popping corn at £1.10 for 500g; that's 20 x 25g portions at 5½p each...
-
2 poached eggs on toast, anna builder's tea, courtesy of the greasy spoon at the end of my road.
Nom!
-
Two eggses an' two sossidges an' two rashers of so-called "bacon" an' two pieces of so-called "ham" (which was gammon, basically) an' hash browns an' pancakes. The Canadians, however, have a lot to learn about fry-ups chiz.
-
Scrambled eggs on home-made sourdough, glass of orange juice, tea.
-
Slice of ham, 2 slices of wholemeal rye, pint of tea, the lot chased with an espresso.
Missus just came back from trip to quack & dropped into the baker's on the way. Add a croissant + another pint of tea.
-
One big bowl of half muesli and half cornflakes, anna mug of lukewarm coffee.
-
Nothing so far; still awaiting partner's liberation from the arms of Lethe.
-
A coffee.
Yesterday, I had muesli, Greek yoghurt, mixed nuts, a nectarine, milk, and a coffee.
The day before that I had 4 medium eggs, poached, with toast (Vogel soya and linseed bread) and butter. And a coffee.
-
I have now had my oats & raisins in milk, orange juice, Fox's Crinkle Crunch biscuit and some of the instant coffee.

I miss Vancouver for many things but most for cinnamon buns and coffee for breakfast, oh yeah and their pancakes :P
-
Coffee. And a protein shake such as 250ml of your semi skimmed 'milk' and a scoop of 'chocolate' flavoured whey protein thing.
-

Did you eat them outside?
I am about to have a bowl of shreddies with cinnamon-flavoured honey (a mistake, that) and I shall make some tea in an hour or so. The reason I am out of bed 2 hours earlier than usual is that I am awaiting the arrival of the vanperson who is due to collect my daughter's suitcase and waft it to Melbourne. This cost me £118 and I am not intending to miss the knock at the door.
-
Same as yesterday which was the same as Monday minus the croissant.
-
My breakfast today was tea, pain killers and the food network! Not well today!!
-
Same as yesterday.
-
30 grams of oats (3 dessert spoons), soaked overnight in Benecol yoghurt drink. I'm all about getting my cholesterol down.
-
20 grams of oats (2 dessert spoons) and raisins in semi-skinned milk.
My cholesterol was low when tested but I've had oats in milk for AGES.
David's porridge is made with 30g oats. I topped his with a banana today.
-
Helly, do you then cook your oats into porridge, or just leave them to soak?
Mrs Legs was away in Germany last night and the fridge needed a bit of a clear-out so I had a sneaky fry-up. Bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, fried bread and two sunny-side-up eggs. :thumbsup: I'm out at the running track tonight so I'll be needing the grease to lubricate my joints.
-
Coffee.
Four medium eggs (from Feline's rescued battery hens), poached, Vogel's Soya & Linseed bread, toasted, with butter, salt and pepper.
-
My regular breakfast has been the same for ages now - homemade peanut butter granola, with low fat bio yoghurt, and some tinned fruit.
-
Homemade brioche toasted with peanut butter
-
I have just checked the poncy website of this poncy hotel. The breakfast buffet is fifteen dollars. Not including 15% gratuity. Or 13% sales tax. Even though these are titchy Canadian dollars, they can fuck right off. I'm going to Tim Horton's.

I have raw oats, partner has porridge (or whatever you call oats microwaved in milk for 3 minutes ;).
-
Cornflakes topped with fresh strawberries dredged with caster sugar, and milk.
Orange juice.
Instant coffee.
Breakfast today started at 14.00.
-
I have raw oats.
That is so so wrong. :sick: ;)
My late maternal grandmother had raw porridge oats in milk for most of the 93 years she lived on this earth.
My mother has despised porridge and oats for much of her life.
My brother and I like our oats raw.
I suppose that's alternation of generations.
My brother now has a grandson.
I suppose he'll be onto porridge soon, if not already...
-
Started with a small bowl of Cheerios and a cup of tea. An hour later I met with a fomer colleague and we went to a cafe where I had well done bacon on a buttered wholemeal roll with a dollop of HP brown, washed down with a latte.

I've put in a [/ quote] without the spaces, to try to fix it. I think the quote/ unquotes are unbalanced.
-
Isn't raw oats just flapjack without the butter and syrup?
-
No, cos in a flapjack, the oats get partially cooked (at least the way that I make flapjacks).
-
In a flapjack, the oats get part-cooked and some of the sugar gets caramelised...
-
Every weekday for breakfast I slice a banananana into a bowl, sprinkle some cinnamon onto that, cover it in cooked porridge which has been soaked overnight (thank you Pippa, for that tip) in zero fat milk, topped with pomegranate seeds, blue berries, raspberries and blackberries.
And two mugs of tea.
Weekends I either have nothing until brunch, or I go out and pay someone to make me breakfast.
-
Coffee.
Muesli, kiwi fruit, nectarine, apple, Greek yoghurt, milk, mixed nuts.
Another coffee.

Two boiled eggs, then raspberries and blackberries with plain yoghurt. All washed down with coffee :)

Wholemeal toast, poached duck eggs, coffee.

We had fried eggs with tomatoes, peppers and kale cooked in EVOO and loads of garlic. Yum.

Shreddies, semi-skimmed milk and squeezy honey. Nom. No coffee yet, because a) I'm too lazy for the hand grinder and b) this morning's ride starts at a coffee shop so I'll have one there.
Sadly I've told my Friend Who Is The Barista There not to sell me anything with milk in, because I need to shift a couple of kilos, so fresh filter (or maybe a pour-over) it is :thumbsup:

A banananananana anna blackcurrant yoghurt anna fresh coffee. Lovely.

I had cereal, but Mrs T and TLD had home made, gluten free pancakes.

Coffee.
Scrambled eggs on toast.

Coffee, boiled eggs and toast

Avocado & bacon on sourdough toast washed down with black tea.
I stood out from the remainder of the clientele by not having a young Tarquin or Mercedes in tow.
(Did you see what I did there?)
-
250ml Alpro soya custard and half a pack of pringles... Seems to be the "stop codeine making me sick" combo of choice today... Not exactly healthy or adulting but is food which is better than nofood.
-
Coffee, scrambled eggs on toast.
-
Some sort of crunchy cereal stuff with raisins in it and toast and the special heroin-laced squish cinnamon Danish-type things that you can only get in Super 8 motels.

Hampton Inns. On little polystyrene plates. Fond memories of enough sugar that my brain was bouncing around inside my head like a panicked housefly. I once ate one sitting opposite the editor of one of Britain's foremost medical journals. The look on her face was priceless as she bit into one. Su-ug-ug-ar-ar she started to rattle like a badly timed engine. I pointed out that you could put the pretend maple syrup on them for an extra hit.
-
Oats, Yogit and carob syrup.
-
Nothing yet, apart from two cups of tea. This is Highly Unusual (apart from the tea).
-
The usual - home-made muesli, fruits, yougurt, milk - but with the addition of some whole toasted almonds. Nice added texture, and allegedly quite good for you.
-
A bowl of own brand cinnamon squares.
-
Coffee.
Semi skimmed milk and whey protein scoop. Doesn't fill me up for long, not like a nice bowl of porridge.
-
Raspberry yoghurt after getting to work. Almost missed my train so no time for breakfast.
-
If a meal eaten not long after midday can be described as "breakfast" then a burrito bigger than my head. With hash browns.
-
A bucket of tea and two biscuits. I'm guessing fruit will keep me going until lunch when I should make a more healthy choice.
-
Porridge with Golden Syrup, anna coffee
-
Orange juice, coffee , scrambled duck eggs with parmesan & black pepper on a toasted bagel.
-
Hungarian salami and Orange juice

-
Scrabbled eggs, mushrooms, beans and roasted potatoes washed down with lots of tea.
-
Two soft-boilded eggs, cos that's what I wanted. A slice of toast which a certain someone else had poured honey over with great attention to detail then not eaten.
-
Oats, raisins, yogurt, milk and carob syrup washed down with a cup of coffee. I love carob syrup.
-
Porridge (1 part oats, 1 part milk, 2 parts water) with three-berry jam, and a cup of coffee :)

Chop up one vegetable samosa and a length of kielbasa (to taste/appetite) and into the frying pan. Add in an egg or two. Yummy!

It's only 'too many calories' if you don't adjust your next meal portions and timings downwards.
Enjoy your Danish, just have a smaller, later lunch and supper.

You win some, you lose some.
This is probably a fair way to maintain a steady weight without becoming faddy or getting an eating disorder. Missing a meal might be inconvenient or uncomfortable.
If you're not diabetic, it won't kill you either.
-
Chickpeas in tomato and garlic sauce. Which I had cooked on Wednesday. :hand: I had to drink some peppermint tea after that.
-
Hotel breakfast in Santa Ponsa, Majorca.
Big bowl of fresh fruit, small croissant, small cup of tepid 'coffee'.

-
A mix of Sainsburys own brand Shreddies and Honey Nut Shredded wheat.
Somehow, despite a major supermarket shop on Saturday we failed to buy more breakfast cereal despite only having a half portion each of the above remaining. Porridge oats for breakfast for the rest of the week!
-
Not me but, on Sunday morning, a Rabble of chidlers were lucky enough to have a big slab of triple layer gooey chocolate cake for breakfast just before they went off to football training*.
I don't know- I have to suffer 3 part consumed bottles of red as my take home from a party. Kids get triple layer gooey chocolate cake.
* I don't know the outcome of the early morning sugar rush as I wasn't within the blast radius of the house in question. Thank Dog!
-
"Instant" porridge.
Rather than buy expensive branded stuff in noddy little pouches I found a method to make my own. Each week or so I cook up a container full using this recipe (http://mortgagefreeinthree.com/2013/02/instant-porridge-a-readers-request/).
-
Coffee; 50g of Torq Energy whilst on the turbo for an hour; scrambled eggs on toast; coffee.
-
Back off of holiday and back to the diet. So Boiled egg, slice of toast and coffee again :)
-
French toast with honey, because I had some bread to use up and felt like something other than porridge for a change. And plenty of coffee.
-
I had sunflower and pumpkin seed bread which I made last night (well in the bread machine) with my first attempt of homemade butter.
-
Four poached eggs on toast. Coffee.
-
Sugar Puffs washed down with builders tea.

White cheese mixed with raspberries on olive bread. Interesting.

Scrambled eggs onna muffin.
-
Porridge with three berry jam, and a mug of coffee

Black Forest oats.
Oats soaked overnight, in Lactofree milk, to which I added a mix of summer berries, dried cherries and dark chocolate chips.
Once at work I zapped it so it was just warm, then devoured it!
-
Mashed banana and All Bran (the mashed banana taking the place of milk). I actually enjoy it.
-
Porridge with sultanas.
-
mushroom omlette

Nana and an apple. Will move onto more coffee in a minute...

Had problems disambiguating 'nana'.

Nana as in mint tea in the Middle East?
Naan bread typoed?
Decided it was the first.

Easter breakfast included a mercifully small chocolate egg filled with "walnut flavour" alcohol. It actually tasted okay while eating it but felt disgustingly sweet immediately afterwards. But hey, it was unblessed!
-
Partner has not yet risen.
Porridge for him has been cooked nuked. There's a couple of peeled, depithed segmented 'easy peelers' to top the porridge.
A Lindt milk Chocolate Gold Bunny awaits us.
He might find some of the cunningly placed 'chocolate' eggs. Some of them are in full view so I can't call them hidden...
-
I'm back in weight watchers with avengence, so my breakfast was porridge with blueberries and cinnamon, accompanied by skimmed milk latte.
-
Bacon, eggs, mushrooms, coffee.
-
Two slices of pumpernickel and one of ham. Cuppa followed by espresso, followed by cuppa, the last being an excuse to drag out breakfast so that I can put off a shitload of administrative rubbish that needs attention.
-
Still awaiting David...
-
shift worker?
-
Tea, toast, butter and jam at a local cafe which made them taste nicer.

Coffee with buttered crumpets, followed an hour later by porridge with raspberries.

Oh, crumpets! I want crumpets now!

Yes, crumpets with knobs of butter slowly melting into them, and washed down Lidl wheat flakes and a cuppa.....oh yes a healthy Benecol to start with.

Tea and porridge. Not very exciting.

Two soft-boiled eggs, which were very good. Then a two-day old Asda jam doughnut, which was not.
-
Yoghurt, granola, stewed rhubarb. Nom.
-
That sounds good and puts me right in the mood for rhubarb right now. Possibly with yogurt but not with granola. It'll have to wait though.
-
I bought the rhubarb at a Christian Aid coffee morning and 'sploded it in the microwave so it wanted eating.
-
Rhubarb crumble. That's what I really want. Yeah, that'll be breakfast on Saturday, if I wait that long!
-
yesterday I had three quarters of an apple pie for breakfast. It was most nom.

On Thurs I go for a fasted swim first thing and then treat myself to a full english, usually in Wetherspoons. Due to a forced change of swim pool, today I tried a local 'Sizzling Pub'. I thought the fry-up was better although served on a metal griddle plate which was quite small so things were piled up on top of each other. An advantage was that it all stayed warm whereas the Spoons fry-up which is served on a big plate is more spaced out and goes cool before I have finished it.
The 'Sizzling Pub' was empty. Spoons has a community of regulars to talk to.
-
Solution: persuade the Spoons regulars to go to the Sizzling Pub?
-
Strawberries followed by a bowl of beetroot and potato soup.

Little Miss hatler just prepared herself some blue pancakes.

Food colouring.

A bacon roll at jenners cafe Maidenhead :)

Beans on bread (not toast).
-
Eggy bread, maple syrup, yoghurt, tea.

Greek yoghurt with blueberries & raspberries.
-
A roll which had once been crispy but had metamorphosed into kevlar, two pats of marge, a jug of coffee and a small pitcher of milk. The roll, torn, lubed, folded and dunked in my first coffee for 48 hours, was bloody wonderful.
-
A proper break fast.
The simplest humblest victuals are as nectar when you're really in need....
-
Green beans, new potatoes and zsiadłe mleko (=curds and whey but that doesn't sound real outside of a nursery rhyme).
-
Toasted seeded bread with honey and spiced apple tea. So far I'm managing to keep it down. I has surgery on Wednesday and have been nauseous ever since.
-
Fluffy pancakes, maple syrup and cream.

Diced pear with homemade yoghurt. :thumbsup:

I put them in the hot oil about thirty seconds before the eggs. They didn't seem to add much flavour in fact, but I think they might be getting a bit old.

I had poached egg on granary farmhouse toasted bread with a flat white.
-
First rate Eggs Benedict at the lovely Anna's cafe in Folkestone. Only slightly odd thing is it was served on crumpets. I do like a crumpet but it has the wrong texture for Eggs Benedict - you really want something more bready like a muffin.

Butter beans (in the British sense of those big white beans, not the sense of those yellowish green beans you eat whole) in a tortilla wrap.

Yesterday I stirred myself a stir fry. This morning I had two boiled eggs and an apricot.

Two slices of ham, a slice of pumpernickel and, since it's the missus's burfday and she couldn't resist the scent of the baker's shop, a croissant au beurre to keep her company.

I'm seriously craving cheese, so I had a cheese sandwich.
-
Fruit salad and honey yogurt.
-
Bread and honey. All homemade, or at least sort of; I made the bread and the honey was this:

9 pieces of cake (so far...). Coffee morning at work and it would be rude not to try everything... :facepalm:

My cornflakes & sugar-dredged English strawberries sound rather dull in comparison...

A bacon & egg cob. I've had a bacon & egg cob at work every Friday for 15 years. It started very innocently, when a colleague suggested breakfast cobs one Friday. The next Friday I reciprocated. By the 3rd Friday Cob Club was official and there were rules (you don't talk about cob club, if it's your first time, you have to buy the cobs, etc).
When I left that job and came to my current employment in 2007 I instigated it here. Cob club has had as many as 8 members, and sometimes it's just me, but it always happens.
It doesn't have to be B&E; sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns are all allowed. If you can get it inna cob, it's in.
Actually, it's such a broad church that porridge is allowed - and you don't have to have it inna cob.
I suspect that breakfast cobs, or some sort of extra breakfast indulgence on a Friday, might be a thing anyway. But I quite like the idea of it being a club. It helps to generate some cohesion in our team. We sometimes talk work, but we don't have to. However we always co-ordinate on Thursday evening and make sure that no-one who wants a cob is missed out.
-
We used to get similar when I toiled in the Nut Mines in the service of the Evil Squirrels, and actually paid for by the Evil Squirrels too. When they made a lot of my cow-orkers redundant no-one told the person i/c cob ordering so for a couple of years there were enough for those of use who had not yet been Brutally Slain to have about three giant economy size sausage, egg and BACON rolls each :thumbsup:
-
9 pieces of cake (so far...). Coffee morning at work and it would be rude not to try everything... :facepalm:
And more. I lost count after 11. So much sugar! (Though to be fair, it became lunch as well, and afternoon snacks, not just breakfast!)
-
... about three giant economy size sausage, egg and BACON rolls each :thumbsup:
Heaven. No need for lunch!
When I worked in the Freezer in West Brom our breakfast treat was a BEST (Baconeggsausageandtomato) cob. Or was it a roll? Or a bap? I forget. I suspect it wasn't a cob because I don't think I heard them called cobs until I moved from the W Mids to the mysterious E Mids, but I can't for the life of me remember what they were called in the decadent west.

They're certainly cobs in that jewel of the E. Mids Nottin'am. Hence such classic Lawnmower DETH tracks as "Flying Killer Cobs From Planet Bob" and "Cobwoman Of DETH Meets Mr Smellymop".
With this cheese cob I'll save de nation / Save my tummy from starvation

Leftover apple and mincemeat crumble and a cuppa.

Scrambled eggs & smoked salmon on thick toast. Freshly ground coffee.

Muesli, Greek yoghurt, frozen Black Forest fruit, milk, coffee.

My usual oats & raisins in milk, orange juice, coffee.
Yesterday's breakfast was at Christchurch West's Premier Inn.
It was busy. I had muesli, dried fruit and orange juice.
Partner ordered porridge and a cooked breakfast - poached eggs, bubble & squeak, bacon hash brown.
He waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Partner was getting agitated and ANGRY.
I enquired and was told 'It's on its way.'
We waited.
And waited.
Porridge came with cooked breakfast over 45 minutes after initial order.
We had to check out of hotel and a train to catch.
Partner does not like having post-breakfast routines rushed.
Oh dear!

I was thinking of Albert from Hogfather...
-
For breakfast - just coffee! I make it myself or my bf makes it for me in the cezve (special coffee brass pot). It comes stronger and more flavorfull :thumbsup:
-
Bavarian smoked cheese, quorn sausage patties and scrambled egg sandwiches.
-
Pancakes.
Yes, I know it's a day late. I did have the batter prepared for Shrove Tuesday yesterday, but we ended up running late and Mrs B had to flee the house with a piece of toast gripped between her teeth.
More relaxed this morning and the batter was extremely well rested.

I went to the local Harvester to try their all you can eat breakie, with some friends. I wanted to compare against the Prem Inn all you can eat which is my usual choice. I was pleased and will be back.
-
just a slice of rye bread toast with lashings of butter, coffee and cream.
But I did have a 3-egg omelette for lunch
-
Unlike the previous 7 mornings, spent with family in Ireland, I didn't have bacon, eggs, sausages and toast!
-
Orange juice, coffee, bacon bagel with brown sauce :P
-
Still waiting for The Man to surface.
No unusual breakfast is prepared.
A Lindt Chocolate Bunny sits atop the box of ice cream wafers in a store cupboard, beside two Lindor truffles.
He might notice this late in his breakfast sequence.
He might not.
We had some biscuits from the lower shelf in the cupboard.
Bunny sat unnoticed on the upper shelf, right by the door, staring at him...

Blueberries & raspberries with Greek yoghurt. Contemplating doing some porridge as well.

My (Danish) mum certainly does!
-
I think my mum did visit Denmark in her hedonistic, proto-hippy youth, when Scandinavia was were all the cool people hung out (and my mum too). Maybe she introduced the term to them? :D
-
My mum has been doing Danish open sandwiches for as long as I can remember (and no doubt before that)...
These were usually eaten with a knife and fork.
-
I remember open smørrebrød and smörgåsbord being quite fashionable in the UK at some point, probably late 80s/early 90s. Probably thanks to Delia featuring them in one of her TV shows or something.
-
Cheesy bagels with Bovril, scrambled eggs and bacon. And a nice sugary tea. Nom nom
-
This morning, porridge. Phyllis requested some. In recent weeks she has been slumming it with corn flakes but today we were back to the winter menu.
-
Today's is porridge. Yesterday I was at a regatta and had to force down a bacon roll.
-
Grilled sardines & scrambled eggs with a dash of garlic & chilli sauce :P
-
Righ now I'm going to repeat my recent experience and have some chicken-leak pie at the new place I found called Piebury (https://restaurantguru.com/Piebury-Corner-Kings-Cross-London). Love it when it's still hot. I usually have breakfast (https://restaurantguru.com/breakfast-near-me)out now and wake up early, so pies are my thing, especially meat pies, old-fashioned ones, fresh and tender.

I'm continuing my ham and cheese croissant tour of the western USA. Today Colorado's offering was OK but some way off challenging the current leader (The Daily Coffee Bar and Bakery in Bozeman, MT).

Hard boiled eggs, horseradish, bread, butter, hot cross buns, various sorts of cake, little sugar coated chocolate eggs, salad with egg and broccoli, salad with egg and root veg.

No breakfast yet as David has not made it downstairs as of 13.19.
To be fair, I could hear he was up and we breakfasted a 13.30.
Pretty standard breakfasts for us: porridge, fruit and tea for him, oats'n'raisins, orange juice & coffee for me but
supplemented with a Fox's Chunkie Chocolate Chunk Cookie each.
Hot Cross Buns will form part of 'lunch' as we are out of sliced bread.
-
A banoffee chocolate Easter egg!
Sick now.
-
MrsC's saffron hot cross buns. A little light on the saffron this year, but still rather good. And there are still some left for tomorrow. :D
-
Krisprolls. Would have been better with a bowl of coffee but I had a mug of tea instead.
Ms. P adds jam and dunks hers even though this is clearly wrong.

Just the usual. 50/50 corn flakes /fruit and fibre, plus Oatly milk substitute.

-
Muesli and toast, boring I know.... :-D
-
Getting to enjoy starting the day with some local salads (https://restaurantguru.com/salads-near-me). Feeling light and healthy, and chicken salad does the meat part for me.
-
Yesterday, a plate of tagliatelle with lardons & raisins. Cycling fuel.
Today, pumpernickel & ham.
-
Cup of tea and a glass of orange juice.
-
The scrag end of a box of Fruit & Fibre. Rather good, as the bits have lots of coconut chips and few banana chips. Cheap orange juice & a freshly ground, double shot of monsoon Malabar coffee.
-
Home made granola! :thumbsup: Got a loan of a cookery book from a friend, "Jason Vale - Super Fast Foods". Really good book full of fast and tasty recipies! :D Going to get myself my own copy I think! ;D ;D

Yesterday overnight oats pre cycling
today an apple, sliced into discs and smothered with PB, pre cycling

Scrambled duck eggs & Scottish Black Pudding*, with about a litre of black coffee.

Not this (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-norfolk-45713490/slow-cooker-breakfast-creator-shocked-by-recipe-s-popularity), but I'm tempted. Bet it makes a fair mess of the bottoms of the mugs, mind.
-
Ratatouille. It's always best eaten cold the next day.
-
Just improvised some croissants au Wensleydale with cranberries - recommend it.
-
Fruit, yogurt and muesli/
-
I got up too late to have more than a banana this morning, before I had to rush out. But a couple of days ago I chopped the chillis that have been lounging (yes, they lounge, that is not a typo) in the fridge door for umpty weeks into my scrambled eggs. I seem to have lost a lot of my previous chilli tolerance. >:(

David descended at 14.30.
We had our customary porridge and fresh fruit for him and oats & raisins for me, with coffee & tea for me & he, respectively.

Breakfast, brunch, brinner... ;D

Raspberries with Greek yoghourt , washed down by a pot of Belfast Brew , whilst nursing a slight hangover. https://suki-tea.com/belfast-brew
These machines were all made in Belfast in the 1950's by [the] Sirocco works, a leading manufacturer of tea equipment.
I used to I cycle past there on my way to school but I never knew what they made. Judging by the reek, though, a deal of SO2 went into it.
-
A coffee and half a Slimfast Bar - the joys of the 5:2 diet
The 5:2 diet is not working for me. I fast for two days and eat cake for breakfast on the other days - so it's not surprising that I am not losing weight.

Sourdough waffles, yoghurt, mug of strong tea.

Toast & butter, followed by toast & butter. Then followed by moar toast & butter. And tea. Followed by toast & butter. Sometimes I just feel like toast & butter, y'know?
And tea.

I am a man of routine in that I have eggs for breakfast just about every day of the month although not when I am about to have my "Talent Talk" (I sh*t you not) with my line manager when I tend to have porridge....it would take too long to explain why! However, last evening CBH was looking for something in the food cupboard when she came across a box of weetabix. "Oh" she said: "you haven't opened these yet." I reply confirmed that I would have them for breakfast this morning.
Come this morning and being a man of my word, I opened the box and placed two in a bowl with a banana and some milk and noshed away. "Quite nice" I thought: "but not as nice as a fried egg sandwich."
Anyway, closing up the box up I noticed the sale by date..... May 2018 ;D
If I am not around later, you'll know why, although I expect an unopened box kept in a dry place will last for years....well at least I hope so!
-
How would Weetabix go off? Mould is the most obvious way and you'd have noticed that. It might have absorbed a bit of atmospheric moisture so not be at peek tastiness (matter of opinion) but that's all. A Someone Who Knows will be along shortly.
-
Boy is eating breakfast right now. Well, it's Saturday and he gets up early Monday to Friday so I guess that's okay. He's eating an open sandwich of chorizo with onion and garlic sauce.
-
I would not expect old Weetabix to be seriously 'off' after a couple of years, though they may have 'stale' taste.
-
CBH has just called my breakfast this morning: "Gross."
I see nothing wrong with using the leftover lentil curry with spinach she made for our tea last night as the base for an omelette this AM..... with some blue cheese melted onto its top.
Lovely ;D :o
-
Sounds delish!
For myself I had a double smooth peanut butter sandwich and 2 village hall cups of rosy lea, courtesy of Paul, and some Lidl stroopwaffel as I waited for the worst of the rain to piss off.
At the station I had an m and s BLT, a red coke, and a small tin of IPA because I play by my own rules. The beer went straight to my legs but I've just shuffled back home and am running a bath.
-
I met with The Aussie this morning in Greenwich Market to afford her the opportunity to give me a gift. A book called Salad Love, which is so up my street, both in terms of food preparation and consumption, that she could not have been more spot-on, as gifts go. :thumbsup:
Stopped by Arlo & Mo in Crofton Park on my way home and as, unusually, there was an unoccupied table, I scored some scrambled egg and chorizo on sourdough.
Nom, nom, nom.
-
I had a cheese scone for breakfast from the Maw's Craft Cente, after a lovely walk in Ironbridge :-)

I didn't know that "gross" meant "tasty, nutritious and efficient". ;D
-
Sounds damn good to me.

;D
Today's breakfast was also made from yesterdays night tea left again...this time it was the breakfast of kings.... Bubble and Squeak with a couple of poached eggs.
And most enjoyable it was too!
I can be certain that I won't be frying tonights tea for breakfast tomorrow..... salad with cheese and a french stick.
-
Why not? You could make it into fried cheese and croutons!
-
I nearly had an earwig for breakfast!
I used my inhaler as usual, only to get a mouthful of Dermaptera. Sneaky thing must have crawled in overnight. Luckily, I didn't actually inhale it fully. Spat it out and put it outside.
In a few years' time I'll probably be eating them by the bowlful...
-
I'm pretty sure I've read that earwigs contain some sort of noxious chemical, presumably against this very eventuality. But then, so do ants, and some species of those are surprisingly edible, while others really aren't, as I remember from various Indian kitchen infestations.
-
Brie and strawberry on rice cakes. A bit disappointing cos the strawberries were meh.
-
Scrambled egg on toast with cress and mushrooms
-
Toasted muffins & Marmite.
-
Porridge, blueberries, banana, maple syrup.
-
Licorice tea - I am feeling exceedingly nauseous as a result of the treatment. I am craving ready salted crisps so might go for a walk to the shop and see if they have any.
-
Fried egg on toast with mushrooms
-
2 eggs scrambled with butter, a solitary large mushroom & some shredded ham. A tomato as the salad course.
-
The usual low-GI black bread (think brake-linings), mock butter & Marmite, two slices of boiled ham.
-
sliced pear, blueberries and homemade yoghurts with ginger curd. mmmmm
-
Amongst other things, a soft boiled egg. This being Japan, it wasn’t, as I suspected, a mistranslation of poached. It was served in its shell, and cold from the fridge. And it was very soft. Tasty but not to be repeated.
-
Frozen berries, greek yogurt, coconut and chopped nuts, wshed down with strong black coffee
-
Two slices of ham and a slice of da missus's latest wheat/rye loaf with mock butter and Marmite, 75 mg clopidogrel, 500 mg metformin, mug of tea and probably a couple of dog's hairs. Oh, and a Brazil nut I pinched out of the parrot mix.
-
Proper Coffee, proper croissants and proper orange juice, served properly.
We are in Paris!
-
Bacon, salad, soft boiled egg (cold from the fridge, in it's shell) and natto.
-
Pumpernickel! Never thought I'd miss it, but the place we usually get it has been sold out every time we've been there for the last month. The lot we now have is dark and moist, and tasted almost like black toffee. Eaten straight out of the fridge with butter it's bloody wonderful.
-
Porridge. With Suffolk blueberries, a sprinkle of Jordan’s something crunch and a little maple syrup. OJ and a cup of Yorkshire.
-
Scrambled eggs on toast and black pudding

Christmas discovery this morning.
Porridge topped with brandy cream. Yum.
-
Breakfast?
Meals no longer exist on Christmas day +3.
Just an endless succession of plates of bits and pieces, and the occasional chessboard.
Is it too early for a sherry or maybe a beer?
-
Chessboard sounds like hard going...
-
It probably makes a nice pawn cocktail.
-
Bloody predictive text and failing eyes/mind ::-)

Scrambled eggs (3) with courgette. Yumalicious!

Scrambled eggs again, with garlic and celery.

Ham & pumpernickel with tea and dog farts.

Porridge with raspberries. A fine single estate coffee. Fiddling while Rome burns ?

Porridge, with grated apple & raisins. I couldn't find the cinnamon though :-(

This morning I was thanking my January self for having put these pancakes in the freezer.

This morning I put rosemary in my scrambled eggs. It was interesting.
-
Freshly ground single estate Brazilian coffee, scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast with smoked salmon.
-
But you've ruined the single estate coffee in pairing it with eggs that might have come from more than one chicken and bread made from flour originating in more than one field!

Scrambled eggs on seeded brown toast. Washed down with black coffee.

Porridge, with a sliced banana, raisins & honey. Black coffee.

Our usual oats/porridge plus half a Hot Cross Bun.
-
Vegemite on toast.
The Vegemite has a best before Jan 2012 date on it.
What could possibly go wrong?
-
'American style' maple syrup flavoured pancakes, special offer in Tesco.
OK, but not sure we'll go out of our way to repeat. And three each was too many.
-
Two cheese and lettuce/tomato sandwiches, one with Danish blue, the other with Polish white cheese. Then the same again but on crumpets.
-
Fish finger sandwich.
2 slices of bread.
5 fish fingers.
Mayo.
Ketchup.
Chopped coriander.

Leftover red lentil and vegetable curry that I made on Tuesday, was supposed to eat it last night but ordered pizza instead.
Bit strange having curry in the morning but enjoyable. Should've done some hashbrowns to go with it.
-
Umm, I'm now thinking idli sambar but with hash browns instead of idli. ;D
-
Cakes. That makes two days in a row! ;D
-
Coffee.
-
Lorne, Egg, Baked beans, mushies and haggi.
-
The Vegemite has a best before Jan 2012 date on it.
What could possibly go wrong?
I assume that Vegemite's about as likely to go off as Marmite, but being Australian, it does so explosively. Or turns into a deadly neurotoxin or something.
-
Poached eggs on buttered toasted sourdough
-
Yesterday and today as part of our full English, home made oatcakes, in the Staffordshire/Derbyshire style.
I'm quite pleased with the way they came out and MrsC also approves.
-
Chocolate. Lots of chocolate.
Yesterday's breakfast was mince pies (with lashings of brandy butter).
-
Craving a degree of normality after two days of excess I had my regular workday breakfast even though on holiday - a bowl of simple lightly salted porridge (water not milk) and a segmented half pink grapefruit.
I l do like the salt/sour contrast and find chilled grapefruit a tremendous wake up call to the senses. I like shopping for grapefruit - I find that the ones that are slightly flattened (not spherical) tend to be juiciest. A segmented orange is an acceptable substitute as long as its chilled.
-
A glass of Waitrose orange juice with bits (whose bits I'm not going to divulge), porridge made with Mornflake jumbo oats and hazel nut milk, sprinkled lightly with chia seeds and dark brown muscovado sugar, two large mugs of tea with oat milk.
-
What's up with all the oat milk Wow? Have you gone vegan? !!! :o
-
Was going to have ham and eggs but ended up not having time, so did a couple of slices of toast with Gentleman's Relish. I haven't informed the gentleman, but I imagine he will be fine about it.
I'm out earlier tomorrow but I'll damn well have ham and eggs, damn it.
-
I felt in need of vegetables so I had broccoli for breakfast. As it was breakfast, I didn't want to cook it in a fancy, time-consuming way, so I microwaved it for 90s or so. Apart from some I ate raw, which was possibly the best bit. Had it with couscous.
-
One slice of vollkornbrot and two of ham. Tomorrow it'll be tagliatelle & lardons because I'll be riding.
-
We did a Curry of Special Magnificence last night, so I had left over naans.
So I had the Dishoom ( yes, I know. I'll shut up shortly.. ) Bacon and Egg Naan, which is of course the breakfast of champions.
And yes, it did involve a drizzle of chilli jam. So there.
A poshed-up bacon and egg roll yes, but the naan, cream cheez, coriander and the chilli jam lift it to a different thing.
-
A large bowl of Shreddies and a weapons grade coffee.
-
Puree'd prawn and avocado, mixed together and spread over some smoked salmon which was rolled up Swiss roll stylee. Served on a bed of sliced cucumber with dill and tomato with a squeeze of lime juice.
-
Microwave sossidge, egg & cheez-flavored food product inna bun. Addictive enough to make me suspect it’s laced with crack.

Scrambled egg on toast with corn fritter
-
A large bowl of Shreddies and a weapons grade coffee.
This. But they were caramel Shreddies. :D
-
All summer I've been eating Bircher Meusli, straight from the fridge. Temps are cooling a little so thought I'd have some porridge (exactly the same ingredients but heated in the micro). Still a little warm for warm breakie I think.
-
Still got some of Sunday's gammon joint in the fridge; couple of slices fried up with eggs cracked over the top, then a spritz of water and a lid on to allow the tops to seal without having to flip the whole damn thing. I know, steamed fried eggs sounds pretty wretched, but it works surprisingly well. Salt, pepper and cayenne. Side of toast.
Coffee so powerful you can still see it when you close your eyes.
No, no YOU were hungover...

Three vegetable curries, rice, pickles and a paratha

Breakfast of kings. Every breakfast should include bhindi.
-
Today, I are been mostly having Two Breakfasts!
(the second one was technically brunch...)
-
A bowl of Shreddies and three dark chocolate digestives.
That'll do it until elevenses.
-
One slice of vollkornbrot and two of ham. It's what I have every non-cycling day: can't be arsed looking for other low-GI combos, and the VKB is utterly delicious, even with fake butter, so it's no hardship. Only fly in the unguent is that either the shrink wrap on the packet is so shrunken that it breaks the corners off the bread, or Super U's halfwit shelf stackers play rugby with it. Or both.
And a large cappuccino.
-
My first ever Full Welsh.
Laverbread (Bara lafwr), cockles, bacon and scrambled egg on toast.
vg. :thumbsup:
Because the place had pretensions of 'fine dining', they had to add the totally unnecessary samphire and pea shoots. ::-)
-
I agree on the pea shoots but samphire's OK. A general salty essence of the sea.
-
OK. True. ^
-
A glass of orange juice, a bowl of porridge and Nice Cup of Tea.
-
My wife calls a cup of tea 'a nice cup of tea'.
"Shall we have a nice cup of tea? She'll say.
Occasionally I'll suggest that we have a crap one for a change, but she doesn't really get it.
-
Chinese takeaway leftovers.
-
Louis and I just had eggs royale for breakfast: a poached egg with hollandaise sauce, on smoked salmon and buttery toasted English muffins.
-
Scrambled egg on toast with corn/pepper fritter
-
Trying to find new ways to get turmeric into my system, I've tried it in porridge.
Enough oats to make one substantial bowl of porridge.
Level teaspoon powdered ginger
Level teaspoon powdered turmic
Decent grind of black pepper
Simmer with enough water to taste. I also have flame raisins.
Needs a bit of something sweet, I use date syrup or treacle. Just a dab.
Bloody nice it is.
-
Coffee, pills, and some food.
-
Porridge made with oat milk and seasoned with muscovado sugar.
-
Tin of pilchards mashed with great gloops of mayo, dijon mustard, salt, pepper and more pepper on toasted sour dough.
Well, not quite a whole tin as the hound insisted that dog tax was payable.
-
Scrambled eggs, pancetta, sourdough toast
-
I made flatbreads a couple of days ago, and had a few going spare.
So I made Dishoom Bacon and Egg Naans, with Cream cheese, coriander, chili jam and the bacon and eggs for the Boys who are here for a few days.
The flatbreads are not Naans, but they make an acceptable substitute, and the result is very close to the restaurant product.

Boxing Day breakfast at my sister-who-art-in-Kingston. Sourdough bagels, made by me in the run up to Christmas then frozen, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon.
-
A chicken and bacon sarnie from the Co-Op.
-
A mince pie with lashings of brandy butter.
-
Nothing so far as troglodyte partner is still in bed...
-
Scrambled egg and croissant, so very Kingston.
-
Yesterday I discovered that two packs of bacon in the fridge had an historical sell-by date, so I did bacon & egg instead of our normal porridge. Today we were back to porridge, and excellent it was.
There's another pack of historical bacon but yesterday's was obviously perfectly OK so I'm sure another day or two won't do any harm.

But how historical was it: painter or philosopher?

4 balls of tagliatelle with lardons & raisins - my standard pre-cycling breakfast.
-
Lokshen Pudding!
(non-kosher variety)
-
Chipolatas, black pudding, fried egg, and toast.
-
On Christmas day it was Dishoom bacon and egg naans.
I'd made the naans the night before, and I have a jar of the chilli jam I made a while back, and we had some most excellent Dukeshill bacon in the fridge.
The Boys had got a Chai set, with the chai mix and a couple of glasses, so that completed the experience!
-
A jug of coffee & a chunk of Black Bun.

This week I have mostly been eating caviar. I don't think I've ever had it before, so I got a (£4.99) jar of lumpfish caviar from Tesco for the hell of it at Christmas, and put some on the smoked salmon blinis we had as a starter for our notchristmas dinner. I liked it, but no-one else did, so I've been putting it on stuff since, typically breakfast eggs (poached/scrambled), but also crackers with cream cheese.
Now I just need an income to support this new habit!
(Not really, it's quite an affordable now-and-again treat - for certain values of affordable - but I'm guessing the 'good' stuff is more expensive).
-
Two flat whites, 2 pints of water, some smoked salmon (Andy Race unsliced peat cured :P), some olives, homemade hummus and homemade chilli and cheese sourdough toast.
-
Porridge - made with oats that had been left to soak overnight (in water, not milk - never milk) with currants, cinnamon and cardamom. Would have added some grated apple too but we were out of apples.
Nuked it for a minute or so this morning and ate it topped with a drizzle of honey and a spoonful of yoghurt.
The cardamom proved to be an inspired addition. I found a local supplier of cardamom seeds recently - much less faff to deal with than pods. I used about half a teaspoon of seeds, finely ground. Highly recommended.

Most mornings one half fills a gorgeous oak fired Muchelney pottery (almost appropriately named) "M16 cereal bowl" with 20 white grapes and 20 red grapes of similar sizes, mix together with 2 tablespoons of delicious Welsh yogurt - llaeth y llan. Accompany on the side by 4 Nairn's rough oatcakes. Coffee is a Villeroy & Boch shallow wide brimmed white porcelain cup ⅔ filled with 180ml of semi skimmed milk which is then heated to 65º in the microwave, lightly blow on the top of the heated milk to aid identification of the subsequent thin skin formed and carefully remove so as not to leave a trace, stir gently 3 times clockwise, before bunging under an Illy Iperpresso machine's spout, into which firstly an Intenso pod has been inserted. After that's emptied itself, one adds a Forte pod for the second shot. The latter providing the crème de la crème de crema. Stir once and zap again for 30 seconds in the microwave :thumbsup:
