What are you having?

S.

[Macca]

An Alpen bar and a packet of chicken crisps.

Most people don't! But I can understand that.

Eat when hungry, dont when not... time is fairly irrellevent

[CageyH]

I had breakfast over 5 hours ago....
I have started to think about lunch.

fortunately i dont have to get up that early now:) was late up today at 9 am.

[struth]

S.

not bad Shane. a Tesco one; not as good as Lidl's

[Macca]

How many hours will that keep you going?

S.

About an hour and a half as it turned out.

[tapid]

Beans on toast, a decent source of fibre I think ?

[Haselsh1]

Well, late up today at 09:20 but had a few handfuls of Fruit and Fibre and coffee of course. Now it's 12:20 and I'm feeling a little rumbly sensation in the old tummy. More coffee I think as it kind of staves off hungry feelings.

[willbewill]

The usual porridge made with milk, topped with chopped almonds and a sliced banana - and a glass of orange juice. Good for my heart and blood pressure.

[narabdela]

Two slices of grilled bacon, two slices of fried black pudding and a fried egg. Washed down with a pint of breakfast tea.

No toast, I'm watching my weight. :)

[Barry]

Bowl of Fruit and Nut museli with extra raspberries and semi-skimmed milk. Two slices of toast with Marmite. Cup of Douwe Egberts instant coffee.

[spendorman]

Just had Lidl no added sugar Swiss Muesli with some extra fruit, and a cuppa.

Made up for it yesterday, bacon, egg and tomatoes on toast, cuppa too.

[walpurgis]

Just had Lidl no added sugar Swiss Muesli with some extra fruit, and a cuppa

I enjoy meusli with fruit too. I bung hot milk on mine.

[Macca]

My ideal brekkie is proper American waffles with butter and maple syrup. But you can't get that round here. Second choice is doughnuts. Must be ring, with the glaze.

Third alternative: Pint of milk, full fat of course, and a Mars bar. That's a good option if you need to get it down quick and under cover.

[struth]

like my luxury porridge in morning... on the road it was cheese beano with chilli sauce .... ah i can feel the breeze already :D

[southall-1998]

For breakfast this morning. I had Sainsbury's Vegetable Ravioli, with two crusty white rolls.

S.

[walpurgis]

I had the usual..................nothing! :)

[southall-1998]

Nope! What you really had was air and dust. Better than nothing :D

S.

[spendorman]

Just a tomato omelette on wholemeal toast and big mug of tea, no sugar.

[struth]

More of a brunch today....sticky pork terriaki jasmine rice..

[southall-1998]

Sorry Grant. I don't take girly sized portions ;)

S.

[struth]

lol.. its not big, just a small plate. tricks the eye into thinking youve had a big meal:eyebrows:

[narabdela]

Bran Flakes with fresh raspberries and semi-skimmed, plus the usual pint of tea.

[Barry]

Bran Flakes with fresh raspberries and semi-skimmed, plus the usual pint of tea.

Same for me, save it was museli and a cup of coffee.

[southall-1998]

Had a rather very unhealthy breakfast this morning.

Two bags of Walkers ''Cheese & Onion'' Crisps. 6 Custard Cream Biscuits.

S.

[Macca]

I had 2 doughnuts and a bag of cheese and onion, probably on a health par with yours :)

[walpurgis]

I had the usual once more..............nothing! :)

Mind you, as a lunchtime snack yesterday, I had a small portion of meusli, two apricots, a decent chunk of very dark chocolate, a handful of walnuts and a handful of dried cranberries with a strong coffee............really must start eating healthily.

pilgrims choice cheese on a breakfast roll

[spendorman]

Just a big mug of tea and a Paracetamol earlier as I have a cold, think I'm improving, going to do egg and tomatoes on toast now.

[tapid]

how did the paracetamol taste like Alex ?

[spendorman]

how did the paracetamol taste like Alex ?

lol! fortunately I managed to swallow the Paracetamol before the outer skin dissolved so it had no taste. The tomatoes and fried egg on wholemeal toast was enjoyed with some Asda brown sauce, I feel another mug of tea necessary now, along with I will take the various tablets that were prescribed by my GP.

[southall-1998]

I suppose Geoff starved himself again this morning :rolleyes:

Had two soggy left over sandwiches.....Lovely!

S.

[Macca]

I had a Twix.

[southall-1998]

I had a Twix.

I used to love Twix during my teenage years. Always preferred Twix, to the overly cloy Mars.

S.

[Macca]

I used to like the limited edition double chocolate Twix, especially for breakfast. That was probably before your time, though. Must have been about 1991. Don't know why they stopped doing them.

No. Doing a dogwalk later though. :)

[spendorman]

Lidl no added sugar muesli again, big mug of Lidl Red Label tea, no sugar.

Off to court shortly, helping an old neighbour, his parked car was hit by a Range Rover, witnessed by two independent people. He denied it all, Police taking owner of Range Rover to Court. We are trying to get cost of damage awarded at the same hearing.

[struth]

hope your successful mate..... dunno how you can eat muesli tho:D

[Macca]

Just buy hamster food and put milk on it. Tastes the same and much cheaper.

S.

It's not 1954 you know. You order it on Amazon Prime.

Not that I would as I hate that healthy crap. Why would you eat that for breakfast when you can have a Twix?

[struth]

I tried Alpen once... it got horsed in the bucket:spew:

[spendorman]

hope your successful mate..... dunno how you can eat muesli tho:D

I don't know either,

Thanks for the wish of good luck, one of the witnesses was an off duty policewoman, still the defendant's lawyer managed to get the hearing stopped pending wanting expert opinion of the damage to the two cars. Hearing continues in October.

[southall-1998]

Geoff had nothing this morning.

I had a lovely bowl of Rice Pudding.

S.

[walpurgis]

Geoff had nothing this morning.

Geoff overslept this moring for some mysterious reason. Still had nothing for breakfast though! :D

S.

[Roy S]

Yoghurt, a vitamin tablet & two strong coffees.

I can just about stomach a yoghurt first thing, only have it because I get told off if I don't have anything.

[walpurgis]

Ah yes. I forgot about tablets, so maybe I did have breakfast. My BP meds, a garlic tablet, a cod liver oil capsule and a glucosamine tablet, all washed down with a glass of cranberry juice. :D

Cranberry juice counts as breakfast. You're busted.

[Ian7633]

Double egg on toast and a vast cup of tea and Mia the cat turned her nose up at Felix beef in jelly, stomped off in a huff and is pretending to be asleep.

[southall-1998]

Geoff must be feeling fat now :lol:

Two slices of Lidl wholemeal bread, toasted, with Lidl cheese on one, and home made marmalade on the other. Big mug of Lidl Red Label Tea.

Five tablets sitting here, need to take those too.

[Bjork67]

Fried egg on toast in between four cans of stella , i didnt eat the cans i meant to wash it down :). Having spaghetti bolognaise for my tea.

[struth]

[Ian7633]

"Poison me with that stuff", she's saying.

She looks at me and thinks " what's he got, give me some, I won't like it but I want some " ......bless her furry little feet.

[Macca]

Now that's a breakfast. We could all learn from this man.

[spendorman]

A slice of Lidl ham, a small amount of tinned sardines and some Lidl cat food, followed by some milk, ah, no, that was what the cat had.

I just had locally made bread toasted with fried (in Extra Virgin olive oil) egg and tomatoes, big mug of Lidl Red Label tea.

[walpurgis]

The pooch had his usual few slices of pork luncheon meat for brekkers. And I had the usual nothing (apart from a cuppa).

[southall-1998]

Might pop out for a fry-up soon.

S.

[Macca]

I had a Drifter. The only edible chocolate bar that Nestles makes. they were still better when they were Rowntrees though.

I miss Rowntrees.

[Marco]

What's wrong with a cappuccino and a croissant? Think continental ;)

Marco.

[Marco]

This morning, a lovely frothy cappuccino (sprinkled with chocolate) and some hot buttered toast, a glass of fresh orange juice and some fruit yogurt :)

Marco.

[Audio Al]

I have my usual on Saturdays ( Thats what the cafe call it )

2 eggs, 2 bacon, mushrooms , beans, tined tomatoes along with bubble and squeak , 2 slices of crusty bread ( No butter or margarine ) Fills me up for most of the day :)

[Marco]

Sounds good, Al. No sausages, though? ;)

Like a good fry up, now and then, but not too often.

Marco.

[Audio Al]

Marco.

Marco , I don't do anything with mushed up meat , I only eat what I know it is ,

sausages burger etc are suspect as to the contense :eek:

[struth]

Get my snorkers from bro. He grows the contents and his butcher friend makes them up. Best pork sausages around.

Or should say, used to :(

[Marco]

Marco , I don't do anything with mushed up meat , I only eat what I know it is ,

Lol... Not if you buy them from your local butcher. I'm not talking about supermarket shite.

We buy our sausages and bacon from our local butcher, so know exactly where the meat comes from and what goes into his sausages. The quality is vastly superior to anything you can buy in a supermarket, and also cheaper, as there's no packaging to pay for! :)

Marco.

Marco.

:( my nearest farm is miles away , Dagenham is devoid of farms ;)

[Marco]

Not a farm daftee, a town centre independent butcher, who gets his meat direct from a farm, such as those located within the Heathway shopping mall.

Are you familiar with where that is in Dagenham? :)

Too many folks just do all their shopping in supermarkets, and seem to ignore the independent shops in their local towns, where often much higher quality produce is available. It's the way folks used to shop at one time, using butchers, fishmongers, bakers and fruiterers - who all specialised in what they produced and sold.

Marco.

[Audio Al]

Are you familiar with where that is in Dagenham?

Yes I am , one butcher in the mall , he buys in carcasrs and butchers them , question is what does he do with the bits of pork and beef that you cant identify as a cut or joint of meat = sosages, burgers , mince etc :spew:

[Marco]

Well, any *decent* butcher will make his own sausages with the highest possible (quality) meat content, not fill them with all sorts of shite - that is if they value their reputation, and you can tell by looking at the sausages if they're any good or not, and also how they cook.

Therefore, I don't know how good or otherwise that butcher in the mall is, but if he conforms to the above, his sausages should be delicious. If not, then order some on-line. There are many high-quality on-line butchers/delicatessen shops, where top-quality sausages can be purchased and shipped in appropriate packaging, to keep them fresh.

A cooked breakfast simply isn't complete, without a couple of quality bangers! :)

Marco.

[Audio Al]

Just back from having " A Usuall " no bangers ;)

[Marco]

You might be lucky though, and get a 'bang' afterwards :bonk:;)

+1 I knew someone who had had a guided tour of the Walls' sausage factory. Lets put it this way: every part of the pig goes into their pork sausages!

My local butcher's pork and leek, and wild boar with apple sausages are excellent. :)

That's why they are both cheap and get sausages a bad name. Got a few top class butchers in my area. I don't eat a lot of meat now though

Gave my neighbour a gammon joint I got from bro as it was too big for me. They had it and said they were giving a third to his mother in law to take home and a third to me. They are it all in a sitting lol

Home reared pork

Absolutely, Barry. There's simply no comparison. We all need to support out local independent shops more, instead of just lazily using supermarkets, out of convenience, as the rewards of doing so are significant!

We use Hugh John Jones, in Wrexham, who are fantastic: https://www.nkprovisions.co.uk/latest-news/national-butchers-week/hugh-john-jones/

Awesome stuff, mate. It doesn't get any better! :)

We buy Gloucester Old Spot, from our local butcher, which is also top notch. It has a much richer ('porkier') flavour., compared with standard stuff.

Do you like lamb? If so, try the salt marsh stuff - so much better.

Marco.

Always wanted to try that salt marsh lamb. I'm spoiled as always got home bred lamb too as he usually got 10 lambs a season

Had some macaroni pie, afterwards a slice of banana cake. All homemade and tasty!

S.

[Joe]

Breakfast for me is always the same; bowl of cereal followed by one slice of toast, and a cup of tea. Unless I'm staying in a[n] hotel, in which case it's a full English breakfast, with coffee, but no baked beans because they are shite. If in hotel on Continent, continental breakfast with coffee, sneaking away some bread rolls and croissants for lunch.

[southall-1998]

Can't beat a good ole croissant!

S.

[Marco]

If in hotel on Continent, continental breakfast with coffee, sneaking away some bread rolls and croissants for lunch.

Surely the continental breakfast would've contained bread rolls and croissants, so why would you have the same things for lunch, or is it just because they were free? ;)

Marco.

[Barry]

Surely the continental breakfast would've contained bread rolls and croissants, so why would you have the same things for lunch, or is it just because they were free? ;)

Marco.

That would be a continental 'brunch'.

[Joe]

Surely the continental breakfast would've contained bread rolls and croissants, so why would you have the same things for lunch, or is it just because they were free? ;)

Marco.

Because they were free, and because snaffling rolls etc saves the bother of tracking down somewhere to buy lunch when you're out for the day.

[Marco]

Lol... We are *such* very different people, Joe!

Marco.

[Joe]

That would be a continental 'brunch'.

'Le Brunch', in fact.

[Joe]

Lol... We are *such* very different people, Joe!

Marco.

Indeed. I'm more like Macca, really. Our minds work in the same way, to the extent that, until he started banging on about ancient aliens building the pyramids, I thought he was my long-lost twin brother.

[Marco]

Lol... It's good that we're different, as it would be a boring world if we were all the same.

Anyway, I'll explain what I meant by my precious comment...

Firstly, I'm not a tightwad, so regardless of the bread rolls and croissants being 'free', having eaten some for breakfast, I wouldn't want the same thing again for lunch.

Secondly, when I'm on holiday abroad, lunch is *the* highlight of the day, so I'd be finding some lovely little family-run restaurant, serving superb local cuisine, and eating there for lunch - screw the rolls! ;)

Marco.

[Joe]

It's partly because I'm a tightwad, but mainly because our holidays tend to centre around visiting archaeological sites, which involves a lot of hoofing around, often in fairly remote places where lunch venues are thin on the ground. Then we have an evening meal where we can relax and nurse our blisters.

[Marco]

Cool, I get that, although we prefer eating our main meal at lunchtime.

Don't mind visiting some archaeological sites myself, although Del's into it more than me. For example, when we went to the Orkney islands, we spent a lot of time visiting the brochs, such as here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broch_of_Gurness and also the Standing Stones of Stenness: http://www.orkneyjar.com/history/standingstones/index.html

If you haven't been there before, it's a stunningly beautiful island. Lots of history, too :)

Marco.

Cuppa tea. Luncheon meat for pooch! :)

Cuppa only so far, will be followed by fried egg and tomatoes on toast and another cuppa.

Feral cat had some mincemeat, slice of ham and cat biscuits.

Baked beans seem to aid.

Years ago my good friend commuted to work every day Sheffield to Nottingham on his Suzuki 125. Same breakfast every day, beans on toast. He reckoned it added a few MPH to his top speed.

No one eating breakfast then!

Feral cat had it's usual, ham, sardines, cat biscuits and a saucer of milk. I had what's becoming my usual, fried egg and cherry tomatoes on toast, big mug of Lidl Red Label tea.

Nice, but coffee is for elevenses!! lol

Tea is really good after bacon, why is this so?

[struth]

tea is quite astringent, so maybe that is cuts through the fatty residue in mouth

That's the sort of thought I had. I noticed that it's good after a fry up decades ago.

I should add that I don't take sugar in tea, that may change things.

Glass of pink grapefruit juice.

Two grilled pork and leek sausages made by my local butcher; two grilled rashers of oak-smoked Wiltshire bacon (with all excess fat removed); grilled tomato; two fried eggs ("sunny side up"), mushrooms and baked beans. Two slices of toast from multi-seeded granary bread.

Nothing like an occasional 'heart attack on a plate'. :D

[spendorman]

Nice, where's the mug of tea!

Didn't feel like much, just wholemeal toast, one slice with cheese, other with home made marmalade, big mug of tea.

[southall-1998]

Just finished some lovely pasta with cheese. Followed by some homemade rice pudding.

S.

[spendorman]

Just wholemeal toast and real butter, big mug of Lidl Red Label tea.

Incidentally, just back from Lidl, that tea is on offer 160 bags for £1.35.

Their tinned sardines are also on offer 34p per tin.

[Marco]

That's excellent news, Alex. It'd take us about a year to go through 160 bags! I shall inform the cats about the tinned sardines... ;)

Brown sauce goes well with bacon, I usually use Asda's smart price brown sauce, it's not quite so spicy as HP.

[Barry]

I'm not really a coffee connoisseur, but I do like to bring back tea or coffee from places I visit. I would rate Cameroonian coffee as perfectly acceptable; it depends on how much it has been roasted. Some of the nicest coffee I have tasted came from Laos (Oh, and a short-lived ground coffee blend by Whittards called "Pacific Islands".)

[Tim]

2 slices of un-buttered toast, poached egg on one, half a chopped avocado on the other (balsamic and cayenne pepper mixed with the avocado)

Columbian Supremo coffee - black

I don't eat breakfast or lunch

I only eat at teatime, but my teatime is anything between 7 - midnight... ;)

[narabdela]

Two slices of heavily buttered toast, one with a poached egg, the other with marmalade.

All washed down with a pint of freshly filtered coffee.

[User211]

Fried in extra virgin olive oil mash topped with pastrami, compte cheese and guindillas.

Poached eggs, awesome beans from Sainsbury's (see pic).

Breakfast of the year so far and just thrown together with no planning. Nice when it works out.

look like butter beans. sure are gigantic:eek:

Very nice, Justers! I just had a light breakfast (coffee and toast), as we're going out for Sunday lunch at a local pub/restaurant:

Marco.

[User211]

They are butter beans which frankly I am not keen on.

However, left to veg in the tomato, spice and olive oil mix they become outstanding. £2.20 for what is two protions they are nay cheap.

But eat one cold out of the jar and you will be amazed. Best beans I have ever come across in my life period. Worth the money.

They tend to explode when microwaved and taste a tiny bit better if you want hot by pan warming.

Massively recommend.

Porridge, orange juice, Amlodipine:(

Amlodipine:(

Dreadful stuff. I had terrible side effects with that.

Losartan Pottassium was better, but not great.

Ramipril was the answer, no bother at all with that.

[Pigmy Pony]

I'll bear that in mind, but three years in, no problems, and last month I was 138/82 which the nurse seemed happy with. If I wasn't such a fat greedy pig, i could probably get it better :cool:

[walpurgis]

So you're not getting blurred vision, disrupted sleep, inability to concentrate, disorientation and a general sense of 'unwellness'? I was! I'm not the only one either. You must be lucky.

[Pigmy Pony]

Indeed Geoff, when I think of how grim it must have been for you before finally landing on the right stuff, I do count myself lucky. But I've always been lucky. I even won a giant Christmas cake in a raffle a few years ago :) And I ate all of it with no ill effects, other than elevated blood pressure

Fancied a fried breakfast, bacon, egg, plum tomatoes on toast, lovely.

Fancy some more toast and some home-made marmalade with a cuppa.

2nd breakfast, just toast and home-made marmalade, mug ot tea.

[Mikeandvan]

Porridge most days, no milk, make with water, add cinnamon or nutmeg, small amount of flaxseed. Buy premium 'whole oats', spoon of maple syrup after cooked, lovely, low salt, low fat, delicious. This morning just had 2 whole oranges then walked the dog, felt great, vitamin C really gives you a boost.

[walpurgis]

I wouldn't eat that for breakfast.

[struth]

I like porridge with fruit brown sugar and cream. Use pinhead oats mostly with some big rolled flakes added
