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?

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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).

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.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?

Only one loaf for breakfast? :DI 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'.
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!
Fresh bread for breakfast is one of life's great pleasures.

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.
I recently saw some enjoying something similar...

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

He might notice this late in his breakfast sequence.

We had some biscuits from the lower shelf in the cupboard.

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!

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.
I've not had pumpernickel for decades. Perhaps O should get some...

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?

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!
and the French butter used to scramble the eggs may have come from more than one cow ! :D

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.

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.

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.

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.

I did this again. Chillies instead of cayenne, but...well, same team, different jerseys.

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.

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.

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.But how historical was it: painter or philosopher?

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!

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.
