I suppose you'd be ok with porridge the Scottish way, oats, water, pinch of salt? They did that to me each morning when I stayed in Aberdeen as a kid, soon got used to it. Wouldn't do it now though.

Don't like porridge? What kind of Scot are you? Next you'll be telling us you don't have any Kenneth McKellar records, but no one will believe that.

Excellent! Haricotes blancs à la sauce tomate sur pain complet grillé. I too much prefer Branstone baked beans. Those made by Heinz have too much sugar in the tomato sauce, and are more expensive. I love seeded wholemeal bread, my favourite is Co-Op's own brand.And at least on a par with the beans on toast I had. Not just any beans on toast mind, but microwave-heated Branston beans on Ninja toaster-toasted seeded wholemeal bread with a light Flora garnish
Looked like this but without the green stuff:

I don't like porridge either. And I don't like milk puddings: rice pudding, tapioca or semolina ()

Yesterday's afternoon tea:
Pain au chocolat with Darjeeling tea. To be precise, it was Risheehat Special Autumn tea from the Nathmull's estate in Darjeeling; bought by me on one of my visits to north India and Ladakh.

Yeah but you're a suvverner, so you're excused. I remember with school dinners, lots of kids didn't like milk puddings, which was great for those of us who didI don't like porridge either. And I don't like milk puddings: rice pudding, tapioca or semolina (

Agree with all of that, and Heinz beans are just wrong.Excellent! Haricotes blancs à la sauce tomate sur pain complet grillé. I too much prefer Branstone baked beans. Those made by Heinz have too much sugar in the tomato sauce, and are more expensive. I love seeded wholemeal bread, my favourite is Co-Op's own brand.
Just checked in the breadbin: It's Hovis "Seed Sensations", which surprisingly isn't wholemeal. I'm not happy about that, it seems they've done things to it to make it look like wholemeal. Important to me these days.
