Weirdest breakfast

When is she due?

She's 55 and just become a grandmother for the 4th time, so nope it's not that

In that case, it’s grounds for divorce 😂

What all mixed together?!

I'm not 100% what Ready Break is, porridge of some sort?

The only slightly weird thing is the cottage cheese.  rest of it sounds totally reasonable.  Black pepper is good on berries

Ready Brek is ultra fine sawdust that’s impossible to transfer to a bowl without spilling it everywhere.

I’m with TJ on this. Sounds fine until cottage cheese. WTF is that doing in the mix? Just makes no sense

Not mixed but all in the same bowl, I'm more put out by the fact she likes that particular breakfast cereal to be honest, I thought it was just there for the remaining offspring.

The only slightly weird thing is the cottage cheese.

Cottage cheese is the spawn of Satan that takes the good name of cheese and desecrates it in the most unholy way imaginable.

I mean… what even is it? It’s not cheese, that’s for bloody sure.

But lots of other things aren’t really cheese either, but still manage to be ace! Primula, babybels, ‘cheese’ singles, that mysterious stuff they put in Ritz crackers, so cottage cheese has no bloody excuse!

When I’m running the world (not long now comrades) it will identify itself properly or be made illegal with possession punished with the gulag

my mum used to know a bloke who had cornflakes with guinness when they were on field trips

Ooooh binners - did yo have a nasty experience with cottage cheese?  Sounds a bit cheesist to me.

it was a means of using up leftover milk before it went bad, in the days before pasteurisation. By converting it to cheese you got a few more days out of it in times when you didn't want to waste food. It could be done in the home, most working class family's homes were cottages, hence.......

Still shit though, only useful as a (low fat-ish) source of protein and to carry a flavour. Like black pepper.

Berries and black pepper also go.

I have been known to mix a handful of grated cheese in with salted unsweetened porridge.

I'm not that far away from accepting the OP as a reasonable combination.

Weirdest breakfast, although delicious, is Kedgeree. Curried smoked fish and rice? For breakfast? Really? Put me down for a large plateful!

I’m not 100% what Ready Break is, porridge of some sort?

It's the dust that's left over from making porridge.

kedgeree is lovely stuff you philistine

I’m not 100% what Ready Break is

It adds 20degC to your internal body temperature. You cannot actually eat the stuff while wearing a jumper, or you could be at risk of heat stroke.

the french exchange family I had, had a breakfast of best described as a bowl of chocolate nesquik and stale bread with sour jam :/

Boiled eggs,cornflakes and tomatoe sauce ,all mixed up together.
In my defence,it was in North Africa and I thought it would stop me getting* a dose of the dysentery that was going around the camp.
*it didn't

^^^all the above would work for me. I'm starving at breakfast time.

Anyway, a friend was woken up on a flight across Africa with a Nigerian airline to be offered breakfast: sardines and a bottle of Guinness. Again, this sounds good to me.

I like cottage cheese!

I hadn't had any for years then we got some for the dog to put on her lucky pad. Got to get the good stuff though, not the low fat crap.

What's with the cottage cheese hate? It's lovely on a jacket potato or salad. Not a breakfast food though.

kedgeree is lovely stuff you philistine

Read again, I agree, and I love a plate whenever it's on offer.

But it is weird that it works as well as it does for breakfast

What’s with the cottage cheese hate?

It’s no more cheese than it is a cottage.

If it called itself cottage sludge, which would be more accurate, then i wouldn’t have an issue with it

But it’s trying to pass itself off as cheese, therefore corrupting the purity of the worlds greatest foodstuff, and quite frankly it’s unforgivable

bottle of Guinness Again, this sounds good to me.

Not had Nigerian Guinness have you?

I’m not 100% what Ready Break

60% Rolled Oat

38% Oat Flour

2% Polonium

I had last nights leftover lasagne in a sandwich for breakfast this morning . Always tastes nicer next day too

The wife and I generally eat porridge with a soft boiled egg, sriracha and sliced spring onion.

Sometimes I make the porridge with chicken stock for some extra unmami-ness

I had last nights leftover lasagne in a sandwich for breakfast this morning .

That used to be a Sunday morning staple for me in my student days - left over lasagne, stir fired in a wok, in a sandwich

My son likes a pitta bread, fried halloumi cheese and chilli sauce for breakfast

Or toast with hummus

Or any other combo of savoury/umami stuff combined with bread products

Three of us had breakfast this morning at a Romanian mate's house and at the end of it a bottle of plum brandy made by his Pa was produced. A (very pleasant) first for me but the pm ride didn't happen.

breakfast: sardines and a bottle of Guinness

Nigeria is the 3rd largest market for Guinness (only beaten by the UK and Ireland in that order)

Anyway, back to weirdest breakfasts, got to be Kellogg's Cornflakes - designed to be as bland as possible to suppress self abuse.

The weirdest thing there is the Readybrek. I mean, it's hardly porridge is it?

I like salami on hot toast, so it makes the salami kind of go all sweaty, and I thought that was weird!

In the carribean the cook served up vegetable curry with a poached egg on top.

I had no idea you could still get Ready Brek, I've not seen it in years. Loved it as a kid. Cold with loads of sugar.

I don't eat breakfast so anything other than coffee would be weird.

Not had Nigerian Guinness have you?

Not in Nigeria, no. But there was a shop in Hackney sold a bunch of African porteresque bottled brews I'd sometimes sample on account of their favourable alcohol to price ratio. Not for breakfast though

Kedgeree is okay when there's nowt else on offer. It's the meal equivalent of that lonely apple that's been at the bottom of your bag for 2 weeks. You'll eat it when there's nothing else available.

However, when it's made with brown rice it's evil personified

@binners - cottage cheese is quite sophisticated hence your lack of appreciation 🙃

Try it on a sandwich with thick sliced chorizo and be prepared for an epiphany

Weirdest breakfast, although delicious, is Kedgeree. Curried smoked fish and rice? For breakfast? Really? Put me down for a large plateful!

It's delicious. As is last night's left over chicken curry, cold. Mmmmmmmm.

I had a bowl of fried noodles and unidentified animal parts topped with sirracha and a fried egg in a street food cafe in the Singapore docks on Christmas morning once. Washed down with a big bottle of tiger.

When a student I had a brief thing for fried mushrooms and tartare sauce. The 12 hour incessant gut rot it provoked eventually persuaded me to drop it

Years ago whilst flying to Singapore we had lukewarm chicken nasty-goreng for breakfast before we landed

It was proper nasty

Natto, raw egg, shiokara. The first two of which we commonly encountered in Japan (and to be fair natto is rather good once you're used to it). Shiokara we only met once, thankfully - squid fermented in its guts, with plenty of salt. Not really a breakfast dish.

weirdest and best - dawn surf at Peanut Farm in Sri Lanka, fish curry breakfast afterwards made with the fish they caught while we were out. Beautiful.

In Japan we once had natto (I think) with breakfast, fermented soya beans. The pot was sealed with cling film and even the menu said they were an acquired taste for the Japanese. Rightly so - releasing the cling film liberated the smell of shit, and they tasted no better than they smelled. Little brown sticky shit balls. Itadakimasen!

I’m not 100% what Ready Break is

not having this, how can anyone of adult age not know what it is
