your fucking breakfast

(I'm not kidding... i'm a supplement ho)

My breakfast was posted elsewhere; asparagus, biscuits, roast beef w/ onion-wine gravy, two mugs of coffee.

(I'm giving it a try because apparently I don't absorb potassium very well.. it's a genetic thing.. and fainting is a common side effect of lack of potassium.. and Gatorade and Smart Water and stuff like that is supposed to be great to help supplement potassium)

let me try again

what i had: filter coffee

and a fucking banana on BART.

(on a side note, is it a british thing?)

(otherwise, the pornolization didn't actually change much!)

4 sausage
4 bacon
2 fried slice
4 hash browns
chips
beans
2 eggs
1-egg cheese ommlette
3 tomatoes

and vast amounts of assam tea. it was fucking hell.

*wink*

(x-post)

HERO!

I am going to have toasted muffins!

I went on the 'net to get Kelly Clarkson tickets!

I am a role model!

Tomorrow I will probably not have breakfast as I intend to be out tonight until after breakfast time.

I had wheatabix for breakfast and for the second day in a row was really cripplingly hungry by 10.40 :(

-- Gravel Puzzleworth (mostlyconnec...) (webmail), Today 7:15 AM. (Gregory Henry) (later)

ummm thats WEETabix. sheesh. Actually its weetbix in Australia but those filthy britishes stole them and renamed them weetabix and now theyre in american supermarkets marketed as the original english breakfast or some such shit. anyway, they are my favorite but i tend to eat them at 11:30pm-ish.

im about to go get a blueberry bagel and blueberry yoghurt from the cafeteria but I feel apprehensive about it since Ally said something about realizing bagels made her put on weight.

same fucking thing today. except it was fucking blueberry yogurt.

300+ days a year. I usually remember the vitamin.
(Cereal = Quaker Instant Oatmeal(Peaches.Cream.) + generic unflavored oatmeal to cut the sugar)

O god -- Dipsea Cafe, I miss U so much --

Usually cereal, but sleeping 'til lunchtime+Ethiopian neighborhood=spongy-bread goodness.

Sometimes I switch sausage in for bacon.

It's nice being back in New York, if only for the weekend.

where are my homefries????

who interns at the ukrainian national home?

way back when I lived in the EV Veselka's buckwheat pancackes ruled!

this question had vexed me forever.

Happy fucking new year.

i o.d.'d on two bowls of grapenuts covered with plain yogurt, soy milk and a fuckload of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. topped off w/ a glass of oj.

I have become addicted to Life cereal. Something about the texture + sugar has been irresistable lately.

Not connected: the kid on the package looks vaguely like Elian Gonzales.

Today I had porridge with sultanas. I almost had a crumpet with jam as well, but I didn't.

Porridge with sultanas, sesame seeds and flax seeds, green tea, multi-vitamin, vitamin c and cod liver oil tablets, followed by one pink grapefruit. Bring it motherfucking on!

I had a fucking piadina from the stall outside Carluccio's. Parma and stracchino cheese with a bit of arugula.

grilled cheddar on toast
scrambled egg and coriander

I'm in the middle of doing up my new kitchen and the last thing in place will be the cooker and hob. When it is in place some time by the end of the month I'ma be eating nothing but fryups and my favourite breakfast, which is:

Soft boiled egg and soldiers with lots of chopped parsley/sea salt/black pepper to soak up the runny egg - not just for garnishing. It's occurred to me that it might be nice to dip streaky bacon into the yolk too.

health bread w/ no-sugar raspberry jam
garlic scape omelet w/ tomato
grapefruit juice

canned pineapple, coffee

coffee, more coffee, yogurt, granola bar.

Fucking fantastic rosemary bagel with veggie cream cheese (like, it had actual BITS of actual VEGETABLES in it) and iced coffee. It was a special occasion breakfast.

a fucking toasted bagel with cream cheese, tomato, onion and the goddamn gravlax that finished curing yesterday. Even with a Sara Lee bagel, even with a lab-grown tomato, that was the best damn thing I've eaten in months

I had an omlet.

Had my S.O.P. breakfast today:

one toasted sesame bagel w/ butter
two fried eggs, over easy
one cup of coffee w/ 1% milk

i had fucking bagels from the western bagel on ventura/coldwater, and then i had a matcha ice blended from the coffee bean in the same shopping center.

on account of the fact that i eat bagels nearly every morning @ work, this morning was two soft fucking boiled eggs, a small dollop of umeboshi paste applied to aforementioned fucking eggs, a large fucking cup of peets' coffee, and 1/4 of a gigantic fucking grapefruit.
mmmm, i loves some matcha refreshments, btw

A Goddamn Marie Callender ham/egg/cheese breakfast pot pie and an Amp.

went out for brunch this morning so i had some fucking corn pancakes with blueberry butter, some bacon, some home fries, and some motherfucking over easy eggs

two boiled eggs (white set, yolk runny) sliced on black bread, with black coffee from the aeropress. same as every morning - I can only ever think of eating something different if I've already 'pre-breakfasted'.

some fucking black bean hummus and coffee

two fucking custard cream biscuits /:

i like that the thread's rhetoric works equally well for appallingly bad breakfasts

1 hardboiled egg
1 bialy with smoked salmon and tomato
black tea

No cheese, no butter, no milk or sugar in coffee. Still pretty nice, though. Little smoked rock salt on the tomatoes for effect. This is prob going to be my standard breakfast for a while?

Later, some salted almonds and more black tea.

a bowl of apple-cinnamon off-brand-but-fancy cheerios that supposedly have lots of antioxidants
a glass of iced chai

a cunting larabar
a sodding wedge of laughing cow cheese
a bloody handful of almonds (nb: handful not actually bloody)

Bowl of Quaker Corn Bran w/ 1% milk and most of a banana (discarded the yucky brown bits)
2 mugs coffee w/cream (further mugs count as brunch and lunch)
1/2 a cigarette

Fucking everything bagel with cream cheese
Goddamn coffee

whole wheat roll with butter and apricot jam
coffee w/half & half

I'm inordinately broke til payday on friday so instead of picking up coffee and a bagel out in the morning as is my wont i raided the cupboards:

cream of wheat with sultanas, walnuts and brown sugar.
a cup of tea.

cream of wheat is weird. not even sure why or when i bought it

Pumpkin loaf
Black coffee

2 black ice coffee
breakfast burrito

frou-frou granola
bananas (2)
milk

coffee (obv)

i have an iced coffee and bagel every single day. kinda weird/sad how much I look forward to and enjoy that morning bagel at work.

I look forward to my breakfast burritos so much that I end up eating it for lunch because I hold out too long.

A bowl of oatmeal (or, if you prefer, porridge) with maple syrup and an assortment of berries
Moka coffee, black

Every fucking morning, but it's what I stomach best.

3 days a week it's oatmeal, 3 days a week it's cold cereal, but today it was 2 biscuits and gravy from Hardee's.

oatmeal with flax, brown sugar, cinnamon, diced strawberries, and chopped walnuts. black tea with a splash of unsweetened soy milk.

Greek yogurt with muesli - usually oats, slivered almonds, and raisins. Small Americano with cream.

Almost every day my breakfast includes two eggs. If there are some interesting bits and bobs in the fridge to add to them I will eat scrambled eggs + whatever. Other days I eat my eggs fried and over medium. To go with, I toast a bagel or what we US'ers call an "english muffin". That and a cup of strong coffee is my typical breakfast.

For a contrast sometimes I'll eat granola, milk, and fruit. Or I'll make buttermilk pancakes to go with one fried egg. Or french toast, with fruit or jam. The cup of coffee is invariable.

coffee and two cookies, those belgian ones they give you on airplanes

Boiled egg, vegemite on toast, fresh orange juice, espresso coffee.

Here, usually just some coffee. Maybe porridge in winter.

In London, at work, two sausages and a piece of toast

My parents home in Ireland:
Two sausages
One rasher(very crispy)
Black pudding
Two slices of toast

Hotel breakfast buffets:

Greek yoghurt
Toast
Crispy bacon

Coffee and a bread product.

I love a big eggy bacony breakfast-stravaganza with potatoes but it generally doesn't feel worth it to spin up that whole machinery just for one person on a Tuesday. So I generally only get that when out, in a restaurant / diner / hotel situation.

WSJ declares brunch is dead

We Regret to Inform You That Brunch Is Now Officially Dead
Bottomless mimosas and carb-heavy menus have become barbaric in an ascendant wellness culture. Now, it’s cool to get lunch.

Ice cream sandwich

microwaved instant oats/ancient grains mix from trader joes with a lot of no fat greek yogurt and some honey, maybe a splash of oat milk, turns into a chunky white monstrosity but it tastes alright.

Chunky white monstrosity is my wife's pet name for me

I love eggs so much, if I had to quit them because of cholesterol or whatever I would weep every morning.

Now, it’s cool to get lunch.

Mostly skip breakfast these days due to our rythm, but I like to have all these breakfast things at lunch hour: scrambled eggs, light sandwiches, elaborate muesli, Korean pancakes... Basically when there's more time and hunger, but not enough to cook starchy things. More like a light meal than a brunch. Also love late breakfasts on vacation in places that have good breakfast culture, before going for activities.

I love all breakfast foods, but don't eat breakfast anymore. Large early lunch at 11, keeps me good until dinner around 9 or 10.

Today's breakfast: two eggs (scrambled), prosciutto, two slices of buttered white toast.

multigrain toast with butter and some kind of jam or jelly. I like breakfast foods but for whatever reason really dislike cooking early in the morning, even something as simple as eggs.

Interesting lack of cereal in this thread recently compared to 2005, a day after I was reading about Sugar Coated: Unboxing the Hidden Forces Shaping American Breakfast Food (new from University of California Press).

handful of nuts

non-sugary but raisin-y cereal and a donut

Greek yogurt with muesli - usually oats, slivered almonds, and raisins.

Almost the same for me except granola rather than muesli, but same ingredients plus pecans and coconut.

I love eggs but mostly eat them on weekends, residual brunch programming I guess. (My mom made a big Sunday brunch every week when I was a kid.) Sometimes we'll make patatas bravas on weekends too — I know they're not breakfast food in Spain, but they feel breakfasty to me.

Fancy granola plus fancy 2% milk

Have been urged to move into Smoothie Country by a fitness-oriented bestie, I’ve been told that spinach and berries and protein and fiber and water will make my mornings wonderful— I don’t want to have to clean the blender every morning tho

My ideal favourite breakfast is Spanish tortilla with some jamon

Confession: I do not cook oatmeal, I just eat it as is. Like cereal, cold, with milk and sugar. I don't know anyone else who does this.

Then I imagine that the stiff scratchy bits of the oats are somehow floating through my bloodstream like tiny whisk brooms, dislodging the accumulated cholesterol. Go on in there and scrub, my oaty friends!

In my head they are like the old Scrubbing Bubbles commercial.

Cooking the oatmeal (or doing whatever fussy overnight thing people do) would make the oats less scratchy and, in my irrational fantasy, less good at scouring the insides of my ravaged arteries.

I haven’t ever been really big into cereal, and I naturally like the not too sugary variety? Like Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, Special K only, but Frosties or anything sweetened is too much for me. And whole milk for me only. Semi- and skimmed is just piss IMO.

I'll treat myself to a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch every once in a while, but couldn't do that kind of thing every morning

smoothie country is a nice place tbh but yeah you have to commit to the blender cleaning.

i got into skim milk and two weetabix with a coffee during my diet last year having never steadily breakfasted previously and ill be damned if it didn't work wonders

i should get back to it obv

sugary cereal is dessert, not breakfast

i've turned into such a 'listen to your body' mom. but yeah, listen to your body, it will show you the right breakfast path.

my usual breakfast is 2-3 cups of coffee but lately I've been having a bowl of swiss muesli (sans milk or yogurt) or an Aloha protein bar as well

Interesting lack of cereal in this thread recently compared to 2005

I do have a custom blend I'll make for the weekends... Mike's Red Mill Muesli (the company is now employee-owned) and GRAPE NUTS... yes classic Grape-Nuts, I mix them together in a big glass jar

I like to make waffles or pancakes on the weekend, but during the week my usual at home breakfast would be just a slice of sourdough toast with peanut butter (unsweetened) and honey. Sometimes cashew butter instead of peanut butter. With coffee and a cup of orange juice, if there is any on hand.

Mike's Bob's Red Mill if you please. it's a local institution!

Wheat toast with peanut butter is a favorite breakfast alternative for me if I'm out of my staples. And/or wheat toast with tahini, yum. Little carbs, little protein, good stuff.

Usual week is 4 days oatmeal, 3 days cold cereal (heavy on shredded wheat, light on Life). Special occasions usually involve pancakes and bacon, or biscuits and gravy and cheesy scrambled eggs. 2 cups of coffee without fail.

Getting into porridge season now.

Go to recipes are adding blueberries and lemon curd.

Proper autumn recipe is adding grated apple, bit of cinnamon and a splash of maple syrup.

Bob's Red Mill if you please. it's a local institution!

Aww sorry, you're right... such a cool thing to pass it to the employees instead of some private equity bullshit

i'm also a fan of bob's red mill - their muesli and granola.

their egg substitute is really good too

my grandparents met bob on a red mill tour once

sugary cereal is dessert, not breakfast

breakfast is a time not a menu

1) half an apple, chopped; dried fruit; plain whole yogurt; honey; Bob's Red Mill Muesli.
2) Bob's Whole Rolled Oats (with a little Bob's Meusli mixed in); dried golden raisins; VT maple syrup; sliced almonds.
3) Peanut butter (peanuts and salt only, no palm oil) on toast (usually whole wheat).

I have 1) about 75% of the time and 2) and 3) the other 25%.

5AM - porridge
8AM - energy drink / sausage roll

i got into skim milk

"Breakfast dessert" is totally a category, y'all.

A place in my town is serving an enormous cinnamon roll, suitable for 3-4 people; it comes in a cast-iron skillet with a bouffant of cream cheese icing on it.

In J. R. R. Tolkien's novel The Hobbit, the protagonist Bilbo Baggins eats a second breakfast, and in the preface to its sequel, The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien mentions that hobbits prefer to eat six meals a day.

i mean i guess if you want to take yourself to a high sugary cliff in the morning, the rest of the day be damned, it's your right as an adult.

8AM - energy drink / sausage roll

i'm a cretin and switched from coffee to the maligned energy drink, not looking back.

raises the question... which maligned energy drink?

I still like a classic Red Bull when I'm hungover in the morning

i mean i guess if you want to take yourself to a high sugary cliff in the morning, the rest of the day be damned

Hence the post-brunch nap

this morning: Wasa crispbread (rye only, none of that multigrain bullshit) with Laughing Cow cream cheese

raises the question... which maligned energy drink?

― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Thursday, September 24, 2026 8:07 PM (two hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

they're all the same.

Steelcut oats w apple & cinnamon -Mr Veg makes a big batch on Sunday night in the slow cooker so I can eat it every morning during the week.

I mix in some unsalted peanut butter & pour on almond milk & occasionally top w blueberries.

It’s so good having it already prepared (and even better that Mr Veg happily makes it every week!) -my bfast eating habits would be much poorer without it

I've been making multi-gallon batches of ranchero sauce, freezing them in serving size ziplog bags, and commonly having huevos rancheros in the morning.

which maligned energy drink?

Alec Waugh (brother of Evelyn) recommends sherry around 11am, either with biscuits or olives.. and I occasionally enjoy this, well semi-often

Typically soft boiled eggs and leftovers so curry, stew, kimchi soup, or whatever was for dinner last night. If no leftovers then instant miso soup . Theres always rice in the rice cooker and ochazuke and natto are favorites of my son. Or porridge.

My favourite breakfast out right now is at a cafe near work consists of steak, eggs half an avocado a potato rosti, with crispy fried kale and chimichuri sauce. Or the falco ham and Comte croissant.

I am regretting the demise of the Irish cafe near us that would do a big plate of black and white pudding with toast eggs and avocado. Chef brown sauce, of course.

Although that’s now got me thinking of breakfast arepas from a completely different place in the other direction.

curry, stew, kimchi soup

my gf is ukrainadian (from Alberta) and she's always doing weird shit like steamed greens for breakfast and I just want hashbrowns or potatoes o'brien

cooked vegetables for breakfast are underrated

consists of steak, eggs half an avocado a potato rosti, with crispy fried kale and chimichuri sauce

this sounds perfect

A quiche with a salad is great for any meal including breakfast.

xp mushrooms are alright

xxp honestly though give me southern style collard greens in place of the potato and crispy kale and i'm paying 20 bucks for that shit no questions asked.

quiche is lovely. i've had it too often in the past. best once a month or so imo.

this morning i had time and space so i browned yellow onion, added red bell pepper, added zucchini, added 2 roma tomatoes, some chopped garlic, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, deeply cooking all the vegetables with lots of time between adds, then eggs (3 full, 3 whites-only). served it on a toasted pita from tj's. it was the best breakfast i've had in ages.

sounds pretty healthy... but why no yolks?

24 oz. of black coffee is my normal breakfast. I'm just not hungry first thing in the morning. I like cereal, but only as an after dinner snack/dessert.

Joes Special

map, that sounds good except the no yolks, the yolks are the best part! Eggs are the only healthy breakfast food imo.

agree Josefa, black coffee is my breakfast

Joe's Special is a recipe from my favorite SF restaurant, originally called New Joe's before my time, then Little Joe's in the 80s, and now Original Joe's in North Beach

coffee then either cereal (currently Kashi peanut butter crunch + multigrain flakes) or a mixture of oatmeal + Bob's Red Mill muesli.

think i've been eating same breakfast (coffee + cereal) for ~40 years

weekdays i'm mostly doing these bougie painterland sisters yogurts with some blueberries and pumpkin seeds mixed in. the passion fruit flavor is amazing and certainly the best fruit/yogurt integration i've ever had.

other times i will mess around with breakfast sandwich concepts--recent one was like a bacon/egg/garlic aioli on sourdough. pancakes or waffles for my daughter if i have time on a weekend morning.

one i used to do that i miss is soft-boiled eggs on buttery toast. i love breakfast foods but am not that hungry in the morning so anything beyond the yogurt/fruit is basically an occasional treat.

anyone like beans on toast for b-fast? I don't do it often (rarely keep sliced bread around) but I do enjoy and it's good for your bowels

That’s a lunchtime food for me. I don’t adore tinned beans so I make my own, freeze them, then defrost when I’m in the mood.

Every recipe for beans on toast attracts commenters that mock the proceedings and claim it’s as easy as Heinz but well I cannot tell you how delicious beans and toast are when you make the beans from scratch

“Making breakfast” has long been a part of my love language but my last bf didn’t eat breakfast and I kinda lost my touch as a result, sad sad. Eggs with bearnaise sauce was a fairly normal weekend treat.

I must admit that I’ve never mastered hash browns

I like beans and garlic toast in broth, I make it for dinner

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019241-beans-and-garlic-toast-in-broth?unlocked_article_code=1.D1E.MUmr.zzDQuEaKjJXy&smid=share-url

Quiche = portable
Omelette

A common takeout thing round here is a breakfast quiche with some combo of bacon tomatoes cheese mushroom and, occasionally courgettes

rarely keep sliced bread around

Maybe you should, I hear it's one of the best things

I just have a big bowl of cereal. I mix a few together for a bit of variety. mostly no added sugar ones like muesli and Shredded Wheat. and semi-skimmed milk. coffee after.

I find it really hard to go without breakfast, I feel sick and a bit shaky if I don't eat in the morning. interesting how some people don't eat breakfast at all

I should try grape nuts again. I ate them wrong as a kid and I was so offended that I have never wanted them in my sight.

I need/want coffee asap in the morning but it does seem to kill my appetite. Ofc reading this thread is a good counter to that.

cereal monogamy

Well played, mick

I work in food banking, loosely speaking, and there is often various forms of surplus food hanging around, so a couple of weeks ago someone put 2-lb bags of dried potato flakes in the "take" area, and I said what the hell and took one. You reconstitute with water and milk/butter, comes together very easily.

Was planning to use them to thicken soups etc but you know what? They make a damn good "fried potato pancake," not exactly a latke but a mashed potato pancake that you can augment with cheese, herbs, greens, a breakfast meat if you like, other veg, any leftovers you have around, and top with a fried egg or two. Honestly perfect with a crusty outside that you let develop in the cast iron pan.

Smoothie every morning after exercise + walk.

I indulged in a childhood tradition this morning and dashed some Maggi sauce on my eggs scrambled

Weekdays always Greek yoghurt with a handful of toasted seeds/nuts and half a pink grapefruit stirred through. Weekend could be whatever but my favourite is a thick slice of good bread, toasted, with salted butter, slices of cuore del vesuvio tomato and a few vinegary boquerones

This thread has me craving a cooked breakfast one of these days.

xxxp I fucking love potato pancakes, with sour cream and/or applesauce and maybe chives, that would be my last meal on execution day. However, I'm reluctant to make them at home because of the smoke.. you might try mixing an egg *with* the flakes

Maybe! I dind't exactly deep fry them, that would NO DOUBT be delicious and might need an egg to stick together for that. Will try with apple sauce next time! I mixed in some herbed goat cheese and lots of parsley this time around.

this was totally a thing i was shockingly old when i learned, like duh, have i ever even eaten it outside of SF?

the best joe's special i've had was at this breakfast place on 2nd & Clemente in the inner richmond.

the place is called EATS

it's still there

I need to go to Clement Street.

There is now a Little Original Joe's restaurant on Chestnut St in the Marina. I haven't been there yet, but I worry about dilution of the brand

Joes Special

― brimstead

oh wow... my mother made this for me growing up and I was always "who's Joe? Montana?"

Despite adoring OJ's (went to the estranged San Jose joint as a kid, then Westlake and the North Beach Original Joe's when it opened up) I had never ordered Joe's Special there.

I cook TJ's uncured bacon and Farmer John's maple breakfast sausages in batches and put them into the freezer so I can have a bacon and eggs or sausage and eggs breakfast, with toast, when I want it. The eggs are really the only healthy part, and I only do it once in a while, but I love it

I had huevos suicos for breakfast this morning - tater tots, black beans tomatillo salsa, chipotle mayo, cheese fried eggs and chorizo.

fuuuuck yeah

I finished the posole rojo from last week :) for breakfast. Lots of raw shredded cabbage and lime in that beast. Making room in the fridge for this weekend's soup project.

Wanna give up breakfast bar coffee tbh.

Then have a large lunch, and a small dinner

one of my faves, which i just ate: soft boiled egg alongside good umeboshi

Umeboshi: my favourite

I’ve unfortunately switched over to smoothie land as I attempt to gain some weight. Frozen berries, spinach, dates, three different powders (protein, fiber, green), almond butter and a milk
