Breakfast....what do YOU have???

[Nicos]

Watched Hugh FW last night making some yummy yet simple breakfasts( if it's on tintrnet- watch it- twas very good!!!)...and it has got me wondering what other peeps have.
Being GYO peeps, I wondered if we eat slightly differently/healthier than the average Brit???

I'll go first..

weekdays- toast or brioche with homemade jam - and butter..and tea.
- very occasionally cereal , fruit with milk and maybe some yog
- orange juice

weekends - as above but maybe egg on toast/boiled eggs and soldiers
- a treat of maybe smoked fish and eggs or black pudding and toms or bacon butty with drippy egg and once every couple of months- a full English breakfast


I can see there's certainly room for more fruit!
what do YOU have???

Usually toast and homemade jam, weekends croissants, but then on saturdays that could be afternoon tea for me by the time I get up after working all night. Fancy something different this morning, I have weetabix and porridge in the cupboard so might have that.

[Munch]

I generally have whatever I make the kids, usually porridge with honey or toast with homemade peanut butter of mums made jam!

On hubbys days off we sometimes have egg on toast.

But I loved some of the simple idea HFW shwed so will aim to make much more of an effort! yum yum !

[Two_Sheds]

Oaty cereal usually, no milk (granola). I'll be on porridge any day now, or make some of Hugh's Breakfast Bars

At weekends I fancy toast with butter & marmite, but it doesn't keep me full up like oats do.

[Brengirl]

Absolutely zilch. I have no appetite whatsoever in the morning.

[Bren In Pots]

Saturday its a bacon sarnie rest of the weeks its either porridge, muesli with home made yoghurt, toast with either Marmite or Peanut butter.

There's a nice pancake recipe on here cheap-family-recipes that I've made a few times just for a change.

Usually, two or three mugs of tea ('Yorkshire' Tea by Taylor's of Harrogate, the loose-leaf version, made in a two-pint pot using four rounded teaspoonfuls, which is pretty darn strong, because 'Yorkshire' is a strong blend in the first place, and brwed for a full five minutes by the timer), and three slices of toast made from home-made, wholemeal bread, with honey or marmalade. On Fridays, and sometimes Saturdays, being the only days I usually have cash on me, I go downtown and have a full English in one of the Cafes there: typically, as today, Cumberland sausage, bacon, two poached eggs, baked beans, toast (made from mass-produced white pap, unfortunately), and tea (weaker than my home-made, but not bad). (No, I'm not unemployed, but I start work at 1:15 p.m.)

[piskieinboots]

ooh I love love love breakfast

Weekdays I alternate between:
Porridge (jumbo oats) which I soak overnight with skimmed milk, sultanas and cinnamon
Two boiled eggs and ryvita with real butter

Weekends:
Saturday I cook -
Eggy Bread and bacon or
Scrambled egg and smoked salmon or
Omlette with spinach or
Eggs benedict

Sunday Snowdrop cooks:
Full fry up

...fresh ground coffee beans in ALL cases

[OverWyreGrower]

Hhmmm, our breakfasts (both weekdays and weekends) are usually one of the following:

Mexican scrambled eggs
A combination of sausage, bacon or egg (either poached, scrambled or fried)
Pain au chocolate

Normal bread, and an excess of milk makes me rather poorly, so no cereals or toast. I can just about manage a croissant or pain au chocolat, and occasionally a toasted muffin maybe once a week.

Tea is fairtrade caffeine free with 1 sugar and a dribble of milk

[SarzWix]

A very strong cup of tea! I'm not good at mornings and usually don't have time to eat much
My first-thing dog-walk always comes past the allotment though so I tend to graze on whatever fruit is ready, at about 10-ish. At the moment it's apples and they're gorgeous straight off the tree When I get home I have a couple of slices of toast (wholemeal) with home-made jam, or a bowl of dry crunchy-nut cereal to nibble while I work. Although I've gone off the cereal a bit since I saw Jimmy-thingy making it in his big farm programme...

[FionaH]

Coffee and on work days I have a nana as well. Normally ready to eat about 10

[Flummery]

Different every day. Usually porridge or a dippy egg and home-made bread toast. Sometimes toast and jam. Weekend - egg, bacon, hash browns, beans, black pudding and toast - but it counts as 2 meals then! Having a big lunch with some friends today so it's just been yoghurt.

[Suky]

Jordans tropical muesli, banana, greek 0% yogurt and local honey pretty well every day. Full English sometimes to keep hubby company at the weekend.
Can't go without brekkie though.

[lindyloo]

large trough of coffee and either cheese on toast, or, in winter, a bowl of porridge oats. if i ever have leftover pizza, then i love cold pizza for breakfast too! alternatively, every so often, i have a cheeze omelette

[arpoet]

Usually its either porridge or muesli made with goats milk or when i been baking, like i did yesterday, home made bread toated with real butter. Some days i have french fried (eggy) bread, or as a special treat fried eggs and my home made oatcakes to dip into the runny yolks....
