Thread: Rise and shine! The Breakfast car is now open. Show us your Breakfast !!

I used to eat 2 breakfast meals a day. Up @ 3 and into the big rig. Donuts and coffee for the first 15 miles. Depending on where I went and the time it took to get there. If I had time to sit down in a restaurant I would get bacon or sausage and eggs with toast. If not,a breakfast burrito or bacon and egg sandwich off the hot truck. 9:00 break would be what ever I didn't have @ 6:30. If I ate like that now I would weight 900 pounds. A lot to be said for hard work.

Alas, 6 years of lethargy, a poor diet when I did eat, and an aging body have seen my doctor threaten me with a lifetime of taking drugs if I don't get my metabolism started first thing in the morning, and reducing my astronomical cholesterol levels! Hence I am now eating breakfast every day for the first time in my life since boarding school where I was forced to eat breakfast.

It's the same thing every morning...

My wife assures me that I would make her Scottish ancestors proud lol.

Well now, let me clarify....I hate mornings. That is to say I hate getting up at the buttcrack of dawn and getting all smiley n stuff. In fact, I think the bluebird of happiness in the morning would taste great deep fried and sittin on top a stack O waffles with butter n syrup...mmm tasty !! Sunrises are pretty cool...but then it's back to the sack fer me. I am a vampire partially after all ha ha. However, when I do arise.....Breeeeakfaaaaast(angels and harps) .

I like that early dawn window where the birds are just startin to chirp up but everything is still deserted. But once the daywalkers come out it's back to the crypt fer me .

Anyway, I too agree that breakfast is great! I like museli with fruit most mornings, porridge in winter, the occasional bacon and eggs.

My most favourite thing (and I think this stems from when I was a child) is to order a cooked breakfast the night before from the breakfast checkbox slip in motels. There's something about sitting on the bed and contemplating tomorrow's breakfast - what to have, when to have it arrive - that is a very joyful thing for me. And then the excitement of it arriving under a cheap plastic cloche with copious condensation on the interior.... bliss!

I tell ya jimbo, they must've....but oh what pictures they painted with those thoughts. I would kill to have a pantry like ol Bilbo.........minus those ravenous dwarves heh. I am with you on the planning of breakfast. I do that sometimes the night before, where I think about what I'm going to cook up. The anticipation of it all mmmmmm now ya done got me thinkin ha ha !

Now I love me some breakfast. In fact, I've been known to eat breakfast for dinner some times but during the week I don't normally bother with it. This is my standard breakfast Monday-Friday. Yeah, I'm a health fiend

Is that good with butter n syrup ?

hobbits aren't the only ones to enjoy a second or even third breakfast ( though after the first it isnt really break fast), when i lived in cirencester (not far from oxford) i would often have multiple breakfasts on a sunday after a big saturday, usually toast or something to start then a goodly pause while smoking etc was done then a fry up or pancakes, then a pause for games then maybe something else or just down to a country pub for a good real ale and lunch.
more recently i used to do multiple breakfasts when i got up with my daughter really early. her favourite toast topping was vegemite (marmite), peanut butter and honey. we just called it mixed together. FYI it is horrible in my opinion but maybe when i was 4 i might have liked it.

Wow...........I love marmite..but not with peanut butter and honey ??? Ohhh I'm havin marmite toast with some eggs this morning now...I can feel it !

I am fairly sure you aren't 4. If you were you might think it was tasty. A bit of really vintage cheddar melted would be good with your breakky, you know the nutty tasting stuff that is a bit crunchy. Hang on that sounds like peanut butter, but I definately am talking about cheddar.

A nice German baby swiss could be nice or mmmmm maybe a stilton. Ha I'm dreaming now. No cheese.....but....I have some schmaltz in the fridge that might pair up...hmmmmm. Off to beddy I am now with visions of heartburn in my head ha ha.
