Earlier today I was thinking of starting a thread called “I’ve started having water with my corn flakes” and there has been a nice wee bit of breakfast chat in the World Cup thread so let’s open this out to the wider community.
Talk me through your ideal breakfasts. You can provide context, location, company or whatever but the main focus should be on the component parts of the breakfast itself.
Pancakes and waffles are my favourite breakfast foods but I also like to have protein in my morning meal. One of the best breakfasts I ever had was at a punk fest in Germany where we were given the vegan version of the traditional German breakfast (breads, cheese, cold meats).
I had one hell of an omelette the other week. Don’t really know what made it so good. I think it was the fact they used a lot of high quality cheese and did not scrimp on the butter. A lot of errors people make in cooking is not using enough fat (in this case, butter) or not enough seasoning but… this was perfect. Just a first class omelette.
If it was a death row situation, I’d have bacon, fried eggs, sausage (both link and lorne), potato scone, toast, beans, fried tomato, glass of fresh orange and a black coffee.
On a daily basis though, some cornflakes or some muesli is fine.
cup of freshly ground / brewed coffee (black, very occasionally some cold brew or an “iced latte” or an espresso)
two slices of toast (currently Aldi’s honey-soaked seeded bloomer, BEST bread) + spreadable butter + peanut butter on one slice, Rose’s lime marmalade on the other
Greek yogurt with honey and fruit and sometimes protein granola
at the weekend maybe there will be some kind of egg / avo / chorizo element or maybe beans on toast
Blueberry wheats and a coffee today. There’s a cafe near our flat which does these incredible breakfasts, including spicy beans, which I can’t get enough of. Not sure what they put in there but hoollyyy shit
