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*

raises the question... which maligned energy drink?

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

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.

I feel seen

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
