Thread: Breakfasts that kill

In my previous post I said that there is no such thing as food cooked with blood in the form of a pudding in Portugal... There isn't, anyway. Not shaped just like a pudding. But I did some investigation on the english black pudding and I concluded that, yes, we have our very own and very delicious black pudding. And that is not shaped like a pudding. Just like the black pudding! That resembles a sausage and that's what counts! But asuming that the black pudding is something similar to the portuguese "morcela"... I would not have that for breakfast. I love it for sunday heavy lunches, but having it for breakfast on a monday morning would be just too much. I would be burping on it until thursday! Sausages, bacon, eggs, the whole lot... but on a normal working day (and for any day's breakfast...), the portuguese black pudding would be just too heavy. I mean... it's called break-fast, not "slaughter-fast-with-a-slege-hammer"!

My normal breakfast is a cup of black coffee, a bowl of ceral with milk and, if I have time, a glass of orange juice.

When I actually eat breakfast, I like to mix up some waffle batter and make waffles.

For the real breakfast though, holy crap, talk about a heart attack on a plate. Perfect breakfast for me is buttered grits with sugar, sausage cooked in syrup, crispy waffles, lots of syrup and butter everywhere, fresh hash browns, and possibly some scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese melted on it. To drink, usually an ice water. I love orange juice, but it doesn't agree with me after about a glass full.

My breakfasts are rather light fare but when I want a filling breakfast it's got to be homemade buttermilk biscuits split and soaking in tons of sausage gravy, sausage links. home fries, juice and coffee!


I think im hungry!

so would the german "Blutwurst"!

Coffee and a wafer type of gal here, too, usually....

My typical breakfast is a fried egg, bacon and toast sandwich. But the ULTIMATE breakfast is my mom's Christmas breakfast...the whole family gathers, and the folks whip up:
5 pounds of hashbrowns (shredded potatoes fried in bacon fat with plenty of salt and pepper)
3 pounds of local-made "Hillbilly Bacon" (Why it's called hillbilly bacon when we lived in Kansas, which has no hills for the billies to live in, I don't know--but it's slow smoked, thick sliced bacon, with a perfect fat-to-meat balance).
A loaf of French Toast
two dozen scrambled eggs
Link "Fanestil" Sausage
Biscuits and sausage gravy
and of course the usual beverages...

Oh man, my mouth waters just thinking about it. My mom's hash browns are freaking fantastic...I've never been able to replicate them.

"Kartoffelpuffer"!!!
OMG I could not have them for breakfast but for lunch anytime!
With apple puree!

Yes!!! But I was never a big fan of Aepfelmuus.

A yogurt or two is my typical breakfast. Too bad the choice of dairy products sucks here in the US (excluding the cheese). I've just returned from the Azores and it reminded me how vibrant a milk lover's life could be in Europe!

Quick Orange said: "....sausage cooked in syrup....." I'm sure he said some other stuff, but that's where the tunnel vision kicked in. :

We need a drooling smiley.

I will frequently cook such a breakfast on weekends too, but we are prone to eggs Florentine or omelettes both with home fries on the side. There is never any meat on the plate.

Cholesterol can be combated by including fresh citrus fruit or juice with these meals. And it's delicious.
