Breakfast

[RafPinto]

What's your daily breakfast?

 

I start my day with:

Warm water and a squeezed lemon or lime.

 

After 30min or so, my fruit platter:

Frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, banana, apple, AVOCADO and sometimes I add melon.

I add yoghurt, honey and cinnamon.

Avocado is a very delicate fruit and timing is not so easy.

 

This keeps me going and after another hour or so:

 

2 eggs with some dark bread and coffee.

 

I am fine until late in the afternoon.

[phetphet]

No breakfast. Go to the gym in the morning, have a coffee when I get back around ten, then lunch around 12:30.

[Dmaxdan]

Monday to Friday - Toast and coffee.

 

The weekend - Toast and slightly more expensive coffee.

Today I had two KFC custard tarts left over from last night.

I used to eat a healthy breakfast of fresh fruits - melons,mango,banana with rolled oats & low fat yoghurt.   

Now, living permanently in LOS, and not working, things have changed.

We have 1 or 2 meals per day, but seldom eat anything before 2pm. 

Sorry. - very long-winded way of saying ‘Nothing’.

[Doctor Tom]

I practice daily 20 hours plus fasting, so only one meal a day, late afternoon, no breakfast or lunch, just drinks. It suits me but not everyone.  

[OneMoreFarang]

Tomato juice, hot chocolate

Dark multi grain bread with salmon and mustard-dill-sauce

Two eggs benedict with duck eggs

Dark multi grain bread with cheese 

Butterzopf with jam or Nutella

Espresso

More espresso

 

 

At least that is one version of the breakfast I like.

A night out is a combination of girls and whisky. ????

well yes. 

[jak2002003]

Never eat breakfast.

 

Just not hungry in the mornings.

 

First meal is about 12 or 1pm....which will be some Thai food...something with rice...like chicken and ginger or a caw pad.

 

Then I don't eat till 7 or 8 pm.  This is my main meal...such as stew and bread or mashed potatoes and chicken / sausages.

 

 

[Farmerslife]

As no one has done this already, I had better trot out the old line  - "a roll in bed with a little honey"

 

Truthfully though (and much more disappointing) , ginger tea and a fresh fruit salad.

Swizz braided bread:

[scubascuba3]

Once a week I like kippers, i add chopped raw onion and tomato, add vinegar all over, so nice. Plus 2-3 white toast with Marmite.

 

Other than that bog standard toast with jam\Marmite or porridge or occasional English breakfast, tea or coffee

[pgrahmm]

Upon waking up I'll have a glass of warm water with a TBS of apple cider vinegar long before breakfast..... Sometimes switch off to a TBS lemon juice instead of ACV.....

 

Then....About an hour later....

 

Usually home made toast, eggs, bacon or sausage.... Garden fresh veggies, a soup, along with a fruit plate....Polished off with no fat milk...Sometimes it's jok / congee....A few times a month waffles, pancakes, or breakfast burritos find their way to the table ...

Some days that's the only meal I want....

I generally don't eat after 1400.... Intermittent fasting in my own way.....

 

I don't like coffee, but my wife likes it enough for both of us....

First thing on waking , hot ginger and lime juice in a mug. An hour or two later breakfast. Never the same thing twice in a row. So....something from my breakfast menu:

 

1 ) Full English breakfast ( as full as possible ) but no mushrooms. Home baked  bread and either      hashbrowns or bubble and squeek patties . Orange juice and coffee

 

( eggs any style , fried , poached , scrambled or as ham and cheese omelette )

 

2)  Porridge with banana . Toast and coffee

 

3) Mashed sardines on tomatoes on toast ....  coffee

 

4) Meuesli with banana. Toast and coffee

6 )  Cornflakes with apple, banana and strawberries ( in season )  coffee , toast

 

7) Ky grata  ( two eggs in a dish with a bit of diced tomato , bacon, sausage  with toast and OJ

    coffee after.

 

8 )   breaky sandwich ( bacon egg and tomato with melted cheese between two doorstep slice)

     OJ and coffee

 

9 ) Shakshuka  . To my own recipe.  In a small pan , fried onions , diced potatoes , sliced bacon, sliced sausage , diced tomatoes and a little green or red pepper. Fry this up then make two wells and put in 2 eggs. Add a little water then cover with a lid until eggs poached. Grate cheese on top until melted. Share with wife over home made sesame toast.

How about optionally a little whipped cream or Nutella on the honey? ????

Looks yummy.

Where do they sell this one?

[Andrew Dwyer]

Usually Weetabix with sliced banana or cornflakes with sliced banana, occasionally Bovril on toast ( sprouted bread from 7 ).

+ a mug of Tetley’s.

What's Bovril?

Drinking version of Marmite.

Similar to Marmite/Vegemite but beef extract instead of yeast extract.

Historically is used for making stock/gravy but for some reason my family started spreading it on toast, been eating since I was a kid.

If it was Peggy yes.

 

 

 

But I wouldn't get in a car with her afterwards unless the windows were open.

Just difficult for avocado.

Imported ones crazy expensive. 

I use the local ones but timing is difficult. The last ones I had, even after 5 days, they were still hard.

 

I prefer the "Hass avocados"

50+ years back my dad brought me toast and Marmite ......... I said "dad, this Marmite tastes a bit funny?"

Yep, he'd grabbed the Bovril jar instead of the Marmite jar ........ I still ate it, just tasted a little different.
