Scrambled eggs with cumin seeds, because we seem to have run out of mustard seeds.

Sounds nice, I might try it myself. Do you add the cumin seeds raw or cook them separately first?

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.

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've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

Bread and honey. All homemade, or at least sort of; I made the bread and the honey was this:

Bought straight from the hives of the neighbour whose address is stamped on the label. Yumm!

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:

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!)

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".
