what did you have for breakfast today part whatever

(if you can reconstruct the thought-process that got me to that you DON'T need a second strong cappo)

Health kick prompted by the fact I will be on a beach in about 6 weeks time. Yikes.

I got up late and have had no breakfast unless idly munching on a sugar free polo counts.

"You suck!"
"Hey, you suck."

Can having a cup of tea do that?!! Blimey!

Plus a lot of tea, served in the only surviving mug from my college room, circa 1908.

normally i skip breakfast

Like Anna, I had a Muller light yogurt only mine was strawberry flavour and tea only mine was regular ole PG.

She sometimes says I should eat something, that means she loves me a little doesn't it? Doesn't it?

"Fly, let's fly away!
Honey bees are flyin' today!
If you like honey, then you'll love Honey Puffs!
Honey Puffs are made to stay fresh, stay good, stay fresh all the time!
Keep lookin' for the funny honey bees!
Honey Puffs are yours and mine!
THANK YOU, HONEY PUFFS!"

I had sausage, egg, bacon all on top of a staffordshire oatcake - num

(Emily: yes, but in the best possible way)

eating: nature's path flax plus cereal (it's good, i swear) mixed with some fruit (peach, banana, plum), raw cane sugar, ginger, and a spoonful of apricot preserves. drinking: new mexico piñon coffee, black.

Fruit soda bread, toasted with butter.

i wanted, for the first time in a very long time, to get a fast food breakfast. last night was long and hard, see. but i left my wallet in my other bag. so now i'm real tired and hungry. maybe it's good i didn't eat a fast food breakfast.

Sainsbury's fruit 'n' fibre knock-off. First time I've had breakfast in months, years maybe.

i sometimes find myself craving egg mcmuffins, which is for me the only reason to go into mcdonald's (yet i hardly ever do, for political reasons, health reasons, and the general grossness of the chain). lucky for me, i never seem to pass by a mcdonald's when they're actually serving breakfast.

Make your own eggmcmuffin!

it's not the same! i need just the right matrix of grease/salt/starch/processed crap that DIY breakfast sandwiches never seem to provide.

Just finshed 1/2 a whole grain bagel with some light cream cheese. Drinking iced coffe.

I always have the same thing: Two slices of toasted dark wheat bread, real butter, and a glass of skim milk. I am a creature of habit. Except on weekends when I let G. make me breakfast tacos.

And now I'm heading out for a latte.

Egg bagel, light cream cheese, coffee is brewing.

Yesterday: egg/cheese/sausage on poppy seed bagel @ Bagels Forever outlet

iced coffee and two hardboiled eggs. i've also got a strawberry activia yogurt that i should eat, but i'm tempted to just toss it. way, way too sweet. unfortunately, we've got about 30 of them (ill-advised costco purchase) and they're going to go off soon if i don't step up my rate of consumption.

raisin bagel, water

I dreamt of waffles with pecan ice cream and maple syrup. I had bran flakes. I'm still sad about it. Must buy waffle iron!

"Organic Food Bar" (the actual brand name of the thing! "22 grams of Protein!") and water. What I wanted: breakfast tacos with chorizo.

tuna salad (tuna, mayo, onion, salt, pepper, juice from pickled jalpeno pepper jar) on Roasted Garlic Triscuits.

i wanted cereal or a green apple but can't afford them right now.

Cereal. Two bits of brown bread toasted with butter. An espresso or a mate.

That's every morning. Espresso this morning.

a mate?

it's tea

sausage patty, 2 slices oatnut toast w/butter, 1.5 cups of tea w/milk

lunch is a robeks acai bowl. i wanted a burrito from quizno's (line was out the door), but i'm very glad i got this instead.

i know, i know, this is a breakfast thread.

did i say quizno's? i meant chipotle. they're in the same ground-floor mixed-use shopping thing so i got them confused. my brain hurts.

Double espresso, Odwalla blueberry b-monster, half bagel with lox and tomato.

two choco waffles (mini sized) and a caffe late.

a mate?
Argentinian tea-like drink made with a type of ivy and drunk out of a gourd made out of a hollowed out calabash.

Just coffee; homemade burgers for lunch. Would the coffee be considered to have broken my fast, or the first solid food of the day?

coke & coke :(

This morning I was still up from the night before and ate my friend's reheated Chinese leftovers with a can of Strongbow cider while he tried to phone our dealer to buy some coke.

Two chicken enchiladas rojas, black beans & yellow rice, guac, two frozen margaritas. By the end I was totally dysfunctional via food coma & relaxation.

A glass of orange juice and a cup of tea.

Plain donut, coffee, toasted bagel w/cream cheese at work

Sausage & eggs at home, with tea. Tea at work with brown sugar cinnamon Poptarts ($0.20/two-pack, how can you say no???)

coffee, one of those awful activia yogurts (only 8 more left!), and half a morning glory muffin from bread alone.

Dorset cereals' Berries and Cherries muesli, and a cup of tea.

Fried mushrooms and bacon, toast, some grapes, a chocolate biscuit. I love being off work.

Excessively expensive banana bread.

a big whopping spoonful of leftover trifle

a big bowl of nectarine, granny smith apple, fig yogurt, trader joe's "ginger spread" (holy shit this is wonderful), and some bran flakes, all mushed together

also a giant mug of coffee, black, half a packet of stevia

people who don't like breakfast are FOOLS

Big fools.

Scrambled egg and cheese sammich (on a toasted roll), with fresh garden tomatoes. Yum.

piece of selfmade chocolate cake and two slices of toast with selfmade apple marmelade.

(If you had told me when I started posting to ILX about six yrs ago, I would mention I'd make chocolate cake and marmelade, I'd probably call you mental.)

Three eggs over easy, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and a big ol' tomato from the garden.

lately - a slice of mestemacher bread (sunflower seed or muesli) with about a tablespoon of peanut butter and a banana.

Going to pick up some Greek yogurt and go back to having that though

a nutty bar.

A vegemite sandwich on sourdough, orange vitamin water.

black coffee. but once my laundry is done i may wander over to millie's and get something eggy.

A bowl of Apple Jacks with skim milk at home, and a granola bar around Venice and Centinela when I realized I was about to flip the fuck out on the jackass missing green lights in front of me.

Big bowl of multi-bran chex & black coffee, also still digesting last night's nacho pile

And now, a cup of coffee. Sweet, sweet coffee.

blueberry muffin, water

toasted lemon and raisin pancakes that the toaster just couldn't handle and shredded insteaded.

am trying to vary the foods i eat so i shld read this thread and get breakfast ideas
today: 2 eggs over easy, salsa (medium hot), some awesome quebec strawberries

canned fish and white bread

(not quite the classic/dub lee perry menu, but getting close)

my "breakfast" ended up being more brunchy... a lamb burger with salad, and a glass of new zealand sauvignon blanc.

fruit salad! a plum, a nectarine, a banana, blueberries, red grapes, topped with a squeeze from my clover honey bear, a teaspoon of nutmeg, a packet of stevia.

Mediocre blueberry muffin from au bon pain.

A Refreshers milkshake from Shake It in Greenwich!

huevos rancheros. so fucking good.

I'm eating a tin of Heinz spaghetti bolognese, all microwaved up. Lazy, bad breakfast.

Sometimes lazy bad breakfasts are the best breakfasts.

still early over here, in a couple hours i'll probably get a POPPYSEED BAGEL

A banana, a bowl or maple & brown sugar oatmeal w/ milk, and two of those weird Ego toast-shaped cinnamon waffles w/ butter.

green apple and yerba mate

coffee w/ soy milk and honey raisin bran muffin from coffee bean

okay, i did not have a poppyseed bagel after all. i made an omelet with tofurkey sausage, onions, horseradish and a l'il bit of cilantro. oh and toast. and orange juice. delish.

pasadena souplantation does a breakfast thing on sunday till noon. Divine. waffles and eggs and yogurt A+ frenchtoast and potatoes B, biscuits D

FRUTE SALAD:

banana
pluot
kiwi
green grapes
apple
plain greek yogurt
candied ginger

mixed together

SESAME BAGEL WITH STRAWBERRY CREAMCHEESE

and one of those rainbow fucking cookies

no breakfast today, but for lunch i had a soydog without a bun and black coffee.

hardcore.

Olken Rhubarb and vanilla yoghurt. It's pretty good.

A bowl of Fruit & Fibre. Don't know why I bought it - it never agrees with me. Actually I do: it was on offer and I am a sucker.

half a tin of lobster pate and two pears.

leftover gin gibson, two pieces of spearmint gum, and a tortilla chip dipped in olive tapenade

cold soba noodles with soy sauce + mirin, shredded carrots, red peppers, bonito flakes

wtf hangover
but it's really good breakfast. at noon anyway.

remy, you're my hero.

rrobyn, that sounds good.

Tea, toast, and really nicely made eggs, thanks to the advice of a cartoon cat.

Haha, I plan on taking that advice this weekend.

I had some sort of cereal I got at Trader Joe's, it's not that good.

Vegemite on toast.

Trader Joe's cereal is pretty sketch in my experience.

deviled eggs

Domino's pizza crusts dipped in tzatzki :/

^we have a new winner

boiled egg + paratha with huge pile of salt

Leftover chicken nashidar, cold, and a glass of peach squash.

i haven't and it's almost 2 pm. i will take a shower and have a tuna sandwich.

Glass of orange juice and some instant coffee that tasted like mud. I keep meaning to get back into the habit of eating cereal for breakfast but I can't face eating at that time in the morning.

cold soba noodles with soy sauce + mirin, shredded carrots, red peppers, bonito flakes

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Want!

Quorn with mustard.

coffee
dates
some cranberry-orange pita bread with butter

i totally endorse the soba noodles + green tea breakfast/lunch but i woke up too early (aagh) to even contemplate it today. really quite easy to make though!

Homemade zucchini bread w/butter
Half a melon
Tea

:-)

kashi golean crunch with vanilla soymilk and two cups of coffee.

the golean system

i have heard its tales

chocolate chip pumpkin bread, Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal, and milk

it is far far away and full of space bandits
xpost

two slices of brown toast with marmite and peanut butter. cup of instant coffee. banana.

p.s. today, ned wins

the lack of marmite-eating on this thread makes the little baby jesus cry.

about to force myself out of bed and go hunt down a coffee/bagel sorta scenario

Free range egg, Lincolnshire sausage and smoked bacon on a white roll, mit KETCHUP, from farmer's market. If you are a trader on the market, this YUM costs £1.

what if i am not a 'trader on the market'?

50p.

(i jest: i'd pay a goodly amount for a roll like that.)

Not sure - I actually work on said market for a few hours every weekend, get paid PLUS all veg I care to eat for a week, the aforementioned breakfast rolls and mate's rates on the other stalls. BONUS: eccentric old people who use RP, Keira and her posse and hedge-fund WAGS.

markets are great places! i haven't been to the market in weeks. i don't think there are awesome rolls like that at the market in my part of town but i know there are merguez sausages! and amazing ice cream! and croissant amandes!

hungover so:

2 eggs fried in v hot oil so nice and puffy
buttered crusty bread
baked beans with some REGGAE REGGAE SAUCE mixed in with the tomato sauce <-superb

Pancakes!!!!!!!

+ syrup

breakfast was well worth trudging out in the rain for -- my local of choice is a BIT of a walk but the coffee is great and the bagel i ordered today was actually unexpectedly awesome.

beautiful poached eggs, hollandaise sauce from the lovely lovely cafe bar round the corner that currently makes weekends of study and/or work bearable.

Eggie bread made with Scottish Plain bread. Stet told me this is the best bread for making eggie and I kind of get his point - it has a dense texture that really soaks it up. Also had a two dollops of ketchup.

plain bread is the devil's ... er, bread.

me? a banana. not enough for a growing boy, as my mum used to say. that might be why i'm a short-arsed moke.

(and the plain-and-egg-powered stet is seven foot eight.)

scrambled eggs, french toast, grits, and orange juice, transforming halfway through into a lunch of pepperoni pizza, french fries, and a grilled cheese sandwich (lol college).

Scottish Plain - the TALL one in the wax wrapper that is good for making one-slice bacon sandwiches?

Islington Sainsbury's used to do similar but sadly NAE MAIR.

that's the one. crusty, chewy, pale white shite of the kind that should be flung from tenement windows into the fucking clyde.

i never thought i'd hear myself say this, but islington sainsbury's obviously has good sense.

finished off last night's Dippin' Strips pizza.

I think it's quite nice - much closer to a home-baked loaf than anything else in the shops (including the stuff from the in-store bakery). Makes good, chewy toast I have discovered this afternoon.

Islington Sainsbury's was for ages the closest supermarket to King's Cross; lots of Scots seem to settle no further away than that first mile out of the station. Scottish friend who lived in one of the huge punk squats in the early '80s conformed to this stereotype and made me buy some, whereupon I was hooked. My bacon sandwiches are always toasted so I figured out a long time ago that SP was chewy lovely goodness.

When in the Scots Exile section I did not look for square sausage and potato cakes.

today i had two pieces of bread with cheese spread on them and a cup of coffee. less than thrilling, really.

cheese on toast

Same as yesterday, so I will not complain.

i went to brunch and had breakfast burrito w/ eggs, chorizo, black beans, salsa, etc. mmmmm. also bloody mary. that's going to make my afternoon of studying difficult.

i'm now making up for the lack of breakfast excitement by making a big pot of cauliflower and broccoli soup. which i might have for breakfast tomorrow.

half of a chicken salad on brown bread with russian dressing and some popcorn with truffle salt.

toasted plain bread also rocks for club sandwiches

Okay I read that as 'to make a club sandwich, I put rocks in it'

... which is pretty much exactly how club sandwich a la stet would taste.

Speaking of rocks, they've started putting those weird preservatives in plain bread now. Instead of going healthily blue mouldy, it goes that scary orange powerdy way that Warburtons goes.

I think my opinions on plain bread were all covered on the Scottish Things And People I Like thread (which I can't be arsed searching for, but may have been my finest contribution to ILX).

necessity (to go shopping) is the mother of invention: greek yogurt mixed with vanilla extract, stevia, and some crushed-up handfuls of dried rambutan. i don't care for the rambutan on its own, but served this way it takes on an almost fruity pebbles-like quality.
