What did you have for breakfast?

[Cudzoziemiec]

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.

[hellymedic]

Nothing yet as David has not emerged from the pit and we breakfast together.
The porridge I made awaits attention.
It is 13.05...

[menthel]

Homemade brown bread toasted, one bit with peanut butter and another with gooseberry jam made by my folks. Lots of coffee.

Blueberries are the big fat American ones, bilberries the little tasty European ones.

You might want to serve it with a pneumatic drill!

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.)

He likes sloppy porridge so it doesn't get very solid...

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.

[andrewc]

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.

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.

[hellymedic]

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. 

[hellymedic]

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.

[lou boutin]

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.

[IanDG]

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...
