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

So I don't know about you fellas, but...... I love breakfast !!! It's my most favorite meal of the day, bar none. I enjoy cookin and I enjoy cookin dinner but breakfast is the thing that joyfully raises me from my cozy bed to face the trials of life. I like my bacon and eggs, but bring on the hotcakes, the fried chicken n waffles, the sausages and ham and the exotic stuff too. Smoked fish, porridges, fruits, jams of all sorts, breadstuffs of varying degrees. Hot Biscuits and scones. The red eye or sausage gravy. Grits n taters abound. kedgerees and curries, soups and even puddings of all sorts. And let's not forget the Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and juices of every kind MMmmmmm !! Breakfast can't be beat. They say there are a 100 ways to cook an egg. That's a good start for breakfast. Hobbits had second breakfast bless'em. Every ethnicity has breakfast and I can't imagine life without it...I would rather be dead. So....ding, ding, ding !! The breakfast car is nooooow open !!......Show us what you had for breakfast!!!....

I'm with you, I love breakfast. Alas, a bowl of Honey-nut Cheerios this morning is not photo worthy.

Here was mine today this fine day.. Scrambled eggs,German rye toast with some schmaltz(chicken fat) flavored with cumin,rosemary n garlic from last nights roast chicken, fresh fruit, Cucumber salad with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh dill, and hot black tea. Woohoo !!

You know, there must have been something going on in the Oxford region during that time - both Tolkein (Hobbits) and C.S. Lewis (Narnia) fixate on breakfasts in their books. Maybe they wrote those bits when they were hungry?

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!

Cloche is my new word for the day!

My workday breakfasts usually comes under a cheap plastic cloche during first break at 9 am. I get along with the kitchen staff and they trust me to tell them at the checkout line what is hidden under the condensation.

BREAKFAST!! I hate breakfast... Heck, I hate mornings lol!! I am soooo jealous of you morning people!! It's almost as though you enjoy getting things done !

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.
