[Closed] Breakfast

Eggs benedict.

Ready Brek or Granola/pouring yoguhrt weekdays.
Sunday however means freshly made american style pancakes, crispy bacon and maple syrup.....
Work is the local cafe - 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, beans, tinned toms, bread and a mug of proper tea - £3.50

Summer: Fruit and Fibre.
Winter: Porridge, normally with blueberries or raspberries chucked in.

Love a blow out breakfast at the weekend though. Eggs Benedict or Smoked Salmon with scrambed eggs are top of the bill!

Chicken jalfrezi.

Fruit and fibre with a pint of milk (often from a Pyrex jug for the handle convenience). Sometimes add a big pot of the onken/yeo valley yogurts if they are on sale in tesco, and a possible third course of a couple of slices of toast and jam.

Had all three a few times this week after a morning swim and before a lunchtime run or ride.

Never really get one but can't beat a full English. When I did a placement last year for several weeks in hospitals providing support for the new electronic patient record I had one most mornings. It was a great few weeks.

+1 for curry in the morning.

Porridge wi' jam in
or
Marmite on toast
or
Bacon sandwich

But at work it's not cheap. So I looked for alternatives

have a daily breakfast meeting and put it on expenses, used to be pretty common 😉

Couple of slices of toast with marmalade and a BIG cup of coffee. After that the day kind of fast forwards...

Another +1 for curry, especially if it's cold.

I'd have to get Sally to sign that off nowadays.

Cold pizza, stored within arms reach of the bed.

Superb.

Bosh!

Bargain prices for staff too.

Glass of V8 juice, blueberry bagel with honey and glass of milk most days--big "real" breakfast on weekends

Museli and a mug of tea.

'Indian' poached eggs (an Ananana Annananann* recipe):

Fry off finely chopped half onion and half green pepper, add tin of chopped tomatoes, half teaspoon turmeric, half/full teaspoon cumin, pinch of cayenne pepper (adjust spices to what you like). Simmer for five mins or so then make four hollows with back of spoon and crack in eggs and simmer until cooked as you like. Serve on thick, toasted good quality bread. Hungry now.

Without the mushrooms with more sausage & bacon

Half a bowl of bran flakes mixed with half a bowl of no added sugar muesli. With whatever fruit I have in the fridge. And probably too much milk. Either that or porridge with pumpkin seeds and dried fruit or a chopped up banana. That's about all I have time for on a work day.

If I'm not at work or fancy something nice then scrambled egg on toast. Or crumpets with marmite and cheese 🙂 flax porridge is good for a low carb & high fat/protein breakfast.

Good muesli (no added sugar) and green tea.

Tom, there are many better options for a

 low carb & high fat/protein breakfast.

than flax seed porridge.

Bacon, egg and top quality sausages for example.

Branflakes every morning. Struggle to poo otherwise.

Currently 14 hours into a 24 hour shift.

The thought of a sausage and bacon barm from JJ's in the morning is the only thing keeping me sane.

Normally porridge.

The thought of a sausage and bacon barm

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm with brown sauce 😀

You bunch of bastards!

I'm going to have to have a bacon, sausage, egg and mushroom torpedo tomorrow morning now! £3.50 for 12” of goodness, there must be 4 bacon and sausage at least 2 eggs and good knows how many mushrooms. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Just 10 hours to go...... 😀

Please take Tom with you. I'm a bit worried about him.

Bacon, egg and top quality sausages for example.

I can't be arsed to cook that in the morning, takes too long. Plus the flaxseed porridge is nice in its weird way, so long as you put some cinnamon in it.

Good muesli (no added sugar)

stuck on a rig just now .....

what id give for a big bowl of good museli and real blue top milk.

*Glasgow camp boss here has endless supplies of bacon,eggs,french toast , beans , sausages etc etc ..... 🙁

Just had a cheese toastie.

Scrambled eggs, every day. Takes about 30 seconds to cook.

Last nights curry/chilli/spag bol on toast.

We have eggs most mornings. With cheese and sometimes ham

Porridge. Though a full English would be better!

1 hour, 3 minutes to go.

There WILL be bacon.

I'm 2 weeks away from getting my hands on a full English.

This thread is torture and those of you who have done it should be thoroughly ashamed of posting up pictures.

Peanut butter, banana and maple syrup sandwich and a vat of espresso

Kippers this morning,yum.

Today was scrambled eggs with garlic, chillies, tomatoes, and a handful of chopped corriander.

For a blowout, it's got to be scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, cream and dill on toasted brioche.

At the risk of coming over all nationalist, I prefer a good example of the full Scottish to the English equivalent. Tattie scone beats the fried bread for me.

I could no more skip breakfast than fly in the air. I usually go to sleep thinking about it.

Well this morning I broke and went to get a bacon and egg barm.... and they have no eggs!!!! How can you not get any eggs in?

I've come to the conclusion that one of the worst things for breakfast is breakfast cereal! Never fills me up, full of salt and sugar and there are much nicer alternatives, e.g. toast, porridge, eggs in various forms, bacon, full fry up. Muesli is ok, but takes effing ages to eat. Apparently muesli with milk is wrong, it should be soaked in orange juice or similar overnight... that's what the Swiss do, who invented it

That's a bit of a generalisation, as there are some decent cereals out there.

Such as? I did used to be a real breakfast cereal fan

Craster I hope.

I wish I could poach an egg 🙁

Weetabix, Fruit & Fibre, Bran Flakes etc.

I think they have their place as long as you steer clear of the boxes which are essentially sugar with some free crispy bits.

An Ulster fry and a pint of tea

Small bowl of granola type stuff before the ride to work during the week. Going to try and make my own, can't seem to find one that's just right!

Made a batch of pain aux raisins from one of Paul Hollywood's books last weekend that were ace, bunged a load in the freezer ready to take out and leave to defrost overnight ready for the morning 8)

Cheers,
Jamie

I've previously eaten Weetabix for years, it still has a fair amount of salt and sugar in it.

I used to eat some cereal then toast and jam or marmite. Then about 8 months ago was out of milk so just had the usual toast and noticed that I didn't miss the cereal so just carried on without it ever since. If I ever had just cereal, I'd get rumblings about 11am that only having lunch would stop.

Also found that by eating a bit more fruit everyday I didn't miss the fibre benefits of Weetabix

Was looking at this recipe yesterday, do they freeze ok? Might have to work on my pastry skills though, did it turn out ok on the first attempt? Are you a seasoned pastry chef?

Super fresh* eggs = best poached eggs

*hen dropped them that day or day before

Surely if ever there were an argument for the Union, this must be it. Ulster, Scottish, English - we make the greatest breakfasts. (Not sure what the Welsh version is, which could sink my theory I suppose...)

PB on toast

FTW

I normally have a big bowl of Coco Pops...

Or if I'm late raisin toast or muffin and a coffee in the office.

This week I was working away and there was only a bakery open at 5am, so I had a ham and cheese pie (all pies iin Aus come with mince beef plus filling) and a can of coke...

Doesn't it involve cockles?!?

I think they have their place as long as you steer clear of the boxes which are essentially sugar with some free crispy bits.

Fruit & fibre and bran flakes still seem to have a fair bit of sugar in them. Shame as theyre quite tasty. The only ones that seem ok for sugar are shredded wheat and plain porridge oats :\ even all bran has quite a bit added I believe.

Surely if ever there were an argument for the Union, this must be it. Ulster, Scottish, English - we make the greatest breakfasts. (Not sure what the Welsh version is, which could sink my theory I suppose...)

I think you could be onto something here. I'll kick it off with Soda Farls and potato bread (known as fadge in Ulster) from here. Add to this from your region and we will have the ultimate UK cooked breakfast. No beans allowed however.

2 slices of toast with marmalade. And several mugs of tea. Speaking of which, it's about time for another mug.

Nothing else permitted, I'm trying to [i]lose[/I] weight

You'll find it easier to lose weight if you have eggs rather than toast, I reckon.

Possibly but it's better than a fry up. Quicker too

How do you make flax seed porridge ?

I have porridge made with added quinoa flakes, mixed seeds and oat bran - and fresh fruit piled on top. We have fresh warm 'breakfast' cake once a week or homemade waffles 😀 - all gluten free. Plus a big mug of fresh coffee.

Grind up some flax seed, beat an egg, mix, add some water to help mix and microwave it. I haven't had it for ages but I remember it being alright sprinkled with cinnamon and some raspberries and cream mixed in.

That being said it was my regular breakfast when I was on a keto diet and I thought it was ok, but since returning to a "normal" diet I reckon standard porridge fills me up as much if not more. And tastes better.

mikewsmith whats that on top of your breakfast? eggs benedict? cheese sauce?
never tried EB but cheese sauce used to feature on (the quite rare) cooked breakfasts at my parents house.

I'd normally reject potato products on a breakfast but that breaky does look pretty damn fine.

oh and porridge with raisins work days (riding days too) for me. Cheap, filling and probably better for me than the cereal, ~pint of milk and loads of sugar I used to have.

Heat some olive oil in a pan. Crack in two eggs, pinch of black pepper and a good pinch of chili flakes. Scramble and serve on bagel. Quick, easy and contains chilis. What's not to like?

eggs benedict normally comes with a Hollandaise sauce

Seaweed = Lavabread thats the Welsh contribution to the breakfast, I love the stuff and would eat it at least twice a week when I was in Swansea. Cant get it in wurzel land 🙁

Where is the white pudding in tht Ulster breakfast or is white pudding an Eire thing?

Pigface white pudding is an Eire thing however given that we said an Ulster Fry we can include it on behalf of Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan 😀

Was looking at this recipe yesterday, do they freeze ok?

I'll let you know tomorrow, haven't tried one yet!

Jmaie

A small amount in a big bowl of every cerial in the cupboard.

Love a full english but never want to eat it if I cooked it.
