― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 29 August 2002 21:03 (twenty-four years ago)

are rocket sandwiches really made of rockets?

― di smith (lucylurex), Thursday, 29 August 2002 21:05 (twenty-four years ago)

if so, give it.

― di smith (lucylurex), Thursday, 29 August 2002 21:05 (twenty-four years ago)

haha when something is a wash-out my friend p. says it was a "damp squid"

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

Urgh! Who are you and what have you done with Emma?!?!?! DEAR GOD you've given me the FEAR!

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

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

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 30 August 2002 07:53 (twenty-four years ago)

― g-kit (g-kit), Friday, 30 August 2002 08:04 (twenty-four years ago)

― bnw (bnw), Sunday, 1 September 2002 01:43 (twenty-four years ago)

my breakfast was at lunchtime. i had slices of bread coated in a thick layer of hummus. and apple/blackcurrant juice.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 1 September 2002 06:33 (twenty-four years ago)

Poached eggs, bacon, spinach, tomato and mushrooms plus a glass of tomato juice. Yummo. There was some toast but I didn't eat it.

― toraneko (toraneko), Sunday, 1 September 2002 12:54 (twenty-four years ago)

A bowl of ‘Little Man’ Malt Crunchies with milk. ‘Little Man’ Malt Crunchies are an ultra-cheap substitute for Shreddies, sold by Leith’s new ultra-cheap supermarket, Lidl (advt). As far as I know they are not made out of actual little men, for that would be cannibalism, at least in my case.

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

― Rex, Sunday, 1 September 2002 17:29 (twenty-four years ago)

― Anna, Monday, 2 September 2002 07:21 (twenty-four years ago)

One slice of wholemeal toast, one cup of tea, one echinacea capsule, one Vit C tablet, one Strepsil. I am ill.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 2 September 2002 07:30 (twenty-four years ago)

Proper bed-ridden ill, or ill enough to feel really manky, but still trying to drag yourself about ill? Whichever, bad luck, hope you feel better soon.

― Anna, Monday, 2 September 2002 07:35 (twenty-four years ago)

Two slices of really hot buttered toast. BEST THING EVER!

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 2 September 2002 07:40 (twenty-four years ago)

nothing. cup of tea at work does not count.

― Alan (Alan), Monday, 2 September 2002 07:46 (twenty-four years ago)

Thanks Anna. I am not bedridden, though I WANT to be. Have dragged myself to work with no prospect of leaving until 7pm :(

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 2 September 2002 08:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hot buttered toast is JUST WRONG. Cold toast mmmm.

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

― Emma, Monday, 2 September 2002 08:03 (twenty-four years ago)

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

― Maria, Saturday, 22 September 2007 10:48 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― snoball, Saturday, 22 September 2007 11:45 (nineteen years ago)

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!

p.s. today, ned wins

― rrrobyn, Saturday, 22 September 2007 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

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

― grimly fiendish, Saturday, 22 September 2007 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

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

― get bent, Saturday, 22 September 2007 18:42 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― suzy, Saturday, 22 September 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

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

― rrrobyn, Saturday, 22 September 2007 18:52 (nineteen years ago)

50p.

― grimly fiendish, Saturday, 22 September 2007 18:53 (nineteen years ago)

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

― grimly fiendish, Saturday, 22 September 2007 18:53 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― suzy, Saturday, 22 September 2007 19:06 (nineteen years ago)

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!

― rrrobyn, Saturday, 22 September 2007 19:31 (nineteen years ago)

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

― blueski, Saturday, 22 September 2007 19:44 (nineteen years ago)

Pancakes!!!!!!!

+ syrup

― roxymuzak, Saturday, 22 September 2007 20:24 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― get bent, Saturday, 22 September 2007 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

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

― ljubljana, Saturday, 22 September 2007 22:39 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― Madchen, Sunday, 23 September 2007 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― grimly fiendish, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

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

― grimly fiendish, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

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).

― bernard snowy, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― suzy, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― grimly fiendish, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

finished off last night's Dippin' Strips pizza.

― wanko ergo sum, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― Madchen, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― suzy, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

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

― Maria, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:57 (nineteen years ago)

cheese on toast

― blueski, Sunday, 23 September 2007 18:00 (nineteen years ago)

Same as yesterday, so I will not complain.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 23 September 2007 18:09 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― tehresa, Sunday, 23 September 2007 18:16 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― grimly fiendish, Sunday, 23 September 2007 18:26 (nineteen years ago)

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

― lauren, Sunday, 23 September 2007 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

toasted plain bread also rocks for club sandwiches

― stet, Sunday, 23 September 2007 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

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

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 23 September 2007 19:48 (nineteen years ago)

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

― grimly fiendish, Sunday, 23 September 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― stet, Sunday, 23 September 2007 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

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).

― aldo, Monday, 24 September 2007 10:18 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...

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.

― get bent, Thursday, 25 October 2007 15:19 (eighteen years ago)
