Title: What are you having for breakfast
Post by: Shadyglade on May 19, 2019, 09:55:13 AM
I expect there is an old thread on this (I bet CLKD can find it), but I'm too lazy to look.

Anyway today having kippers, tomatoes and brown bread.

Don't like the texture of crumpets much.

Scotch pancakes o the other hand. Yummy

I like smoked fish but it doesn't half pong  ;D

Coffee and a biscuit is my breakfast everyday, I'm not a morning person  ???

I agree shadyglade. I don't dislike the flavour of crumpets but the holes in them make me feel queasy to look at never mind put in my mouth. Homemade scotch pancakes though are delicious. There's not much I don't like other than processed food so it's a bit odd to dislike crumpets.

Whatever I have for breakfast is accompanied by two large mugs of coffee

I love crumpets. Morrison's have bear shaped ones at the moment. Had my usual 72 grams own mixed muesli. Why 72 grams you might ask. I checked one day on how much I was putting in my bowl and it was 110 grams. As I try to be careful of my intake so as not to put on weight (bad back) I now put my bowl on the scales.  My mix now lasts a bit longer too so a win win

Perhaps that's why you felt 'off' first thing, not eating early enough?

When I suffer with bowels it's first thing before I even had a chance to get a cuppa when alarm has gone off at 6.15am.

Wow, unusual but good. All except the macadamia nuts.  I can't eat them, they make me sick.
Title: Re: What are you having for breakfast
Post by: Saffy on May 21, 2019, 04:47:45 PM
It varies along the same theme but the macadamia nuts are nearly always there. I have to ration them 'though or I will eat the whole packet! I should post my OH's 'breakfast' too - today he had two cold sausages and a huge hunk of blue cheese  ;D.

That made me laugh, it is exactly the sort of thing my late OH would have had. Did your OH have mustard on the bangers? Mine would have!  ;D

I now make my own yoghurt. I bought an Easiyo yogurt maker from Lakeland and it's been great.

Fruit cake's a bit too 'healthy, can't beat a bit of chocolate cake, or chocolate Easter eggs or chocolate selection boxes, depending on the occasion  :D

I am jealous. It's wet and freezing here.
My dream would be to eat outside in the sunshine every meal of my life.

I had a Scandinavian breakfast for a change - boiled egg, avocado, tomato,
gherkins on sour dough bread from Lidl with a good dollup of Mayo on the side.
