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

Just weet-bix and some blueberries this morning. It was quick and simple and I didn't have time for the photo session. My kids were all up at the same time and demanding that the Restaurant be open so that I could fill their separate breakfast orders. 1 x Cherrios, 1 x toast and promite and 1x porridge with honey. I swear I'm gonna just serve 'em up all the same thing one day...Oh wait...I did that once and had a terrible day of whinging children all morning, as none of them wanted what I gave them...If it wasn't against the law.....

Vegemite, Weetabix, Melba toast, Damper, Granny Smith or Pink lady apples, Kangaroo, and Macadamia nuts.

Any other ideas of what I can find here in Minnesota without the net?

After I try to find these maybe Thursday will be Aussie day!

tim tams, yummy chocolate biscuits. you can do a tim tam explosion by biting off oposite corners, then sucking a hot drink through the biscuit and then eating it, had 2 this morning while i wait for breakfast time. why cant i shift this weight?

Same budget just shifted around is all . Cheers !

I know; and I do zip it up with blue berries strawberries, peaches, apple slices, etc. But try as I might, I still can't make oatmeal taste like pancakes.

Well, you can make it taste a bit like ANZAC Biscuits (Don't call them 'cookies'. Sacrilege. Disrespectful to Aussie and Kiwi Soldiers.) by adding a good squirt of Golden Syrup (Sugar Cane Syrup). That is at least something, even if it isn't pancakes.

I see now that it is lunchtime in Australia but here is the first part of my Australian dietary experiment. Breakfast.



As you can see I had Weetabix instead of Weet-bix but I think it is more of a variation of spelling and possibly patent issues. It is a bland cereal and I used honey to sweeten it up. I added some Granny Smith apple and Pink Lady apple around the sides. The Granny Smith was grown in the US and the Pink Lady in Chile but both cultivars were developed in Australia. Both were good but I lean toward the Pink Lady.

On the side I had a couple of pieces of toast with butter and Vegemite. The plate wasn't heated! Pleasantly surprised as Vegemite is not what i expected. I was thinking that it was a food like peanut butter instead of being a condiment. Looking at it from the different point of view opens up many possibilities. My conclusion is that a little goes a long way.

I added a couple of tim tams for desert! Excellent! I will have to try the hot drink being sucked through them idea.

I don't know if I can keep this experiment up for long as anything Aussie is expensive at least here. i did get some Kangaroo loin for hopefully tomorrow that better taste good for the price!

That toast hasn't got nearly enough Vegemite on it! Also Vegemite and cheese on your buttered toast is good. Melt that cheese and it's even better! I think all up, you've made an excellent effort of an Aussie themed breakfast. Well done. Now. Are those banana's Cavendish?...

I may work my way up to more but at 8.99 USD it isn't cheap. At 4 gram servings though that jar has 55 servings in it! That is only 16 cents a serving.

I can imagine the Vegemite on cheaper processed cheese but not for the couple I picked up on my culinary adventures today.

Hooks Bloomin Idiot is better yet but hard for me to find

I also picked up some fancy steel cut oats. I think that I spent $9.50 on the can and 25 cents on the oats but I will include a review later!

you guys are bad influences!

P.S. I don't know for sure but chances are that those bananas are Cavendish as they are a large proportion of world production.

Cheese and vegemite toastie, for second breakfast ( lunch really I suppose)



A touch of butter on the outside would have been nice but it was all hard in the fridge, someone had kindly put the butter tub that we leave out away, but had left it devoid of butter, I put it in the dishes.

Sorry Ed,,,I just can't hit the "Like" button on that one.
