Now I’m abig fan of bacon and egg on toast. That’s a breakfast that can keep you going till dinnertime.

But at work it’s not cheap. So I looked for alternatives.

Fruit. No.
Weetabix, no.

Many others.

Shreddies mixed in with dried cranberries, that did the job. Big bowl.

What’s your man sized breakfast?

Eggs benedict.

Ready Brek or Granola/pouring yoguhrt weekdays.
Sunday however means freshly made american style pancakes, crispy bacon and maple syrup…..
Work is the local cafe – 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, beans, tinned toms, bread and a mug of proper tea – £3.50

Summer: Fruit and Fibre.
Winter: Porridge, normally with blueberries or raspberries chucked in.

Love a blow out breakfast at the weekend though. Eggs Benedict or Smoked Salmon with scrambed eggs are top of the bill!

Chicken jalfrezi.

Fruit and fibre with a pint of milk (often from a Pyrex jug for the handle convenience). Sometimes add a big pot of the onken/yeo valley yogurts if they are on sale in tesco, and a possible third course of a couple of slices of toast and jam.

Had all three a few times this week after a morning swim and before a lunchtime run or ride.

Never really get one but can’t beat a full English. When I did a placement last year for several weeks in hospitals providing support for the new electronic patient record I had one most mornings. It was a great few weeks.

+1 for curry in the morning.

Porridge wi’ jam in
or
Marmite on toast
or
Bacon sandwich

But at work it’s not cheap. So I looked for alternatives

have a daily breakfast meeting and put it on expenses, used to be pretty common 😉

Couple of slices of toast with marmalade and a BIG cup of coffee. After that the day kind of fast forwards…

Another +1 for curry, especially if it’s cold.

I’d have to get Sally to sign that off nowadays.

Cold pizza, stored within arms reach of the bed.

Superb.

Bosh!

Bargain prices for staff too.

Glass of V8 juice, blueberry bagel with honey and glass of milk most days–big “real” breakfast on weekends

Museli and a mug of tea.

‘Indian’ poached eggs (an Ananana Annananann* recipe):

Fry off finely chopped half onion and half green pepper, add tin of chopped tomatoes, half teaspoon turmeric, half/full teaspoon cumin, pinch of cayenne pepper (adjust spices to what you like). Simmer for five mins or so then make four hollows with back of spoon and crack in eggs and simmer until cooked as you like. Serve on thick, toasted good quality bread. Hungry now.

*That lass that did some Saturday Kitchen stuff, not the ex-UN bloke.

Without the mushrooms with more sausage & bacon

Half a bowl of bran flakes mixed with half a bowl of no added sugar muesli. With whatever fruit I have in the fridge. And probably too much milk. Either that or porridge with pumpkin seeds and dried fruit or a chopped up banana. That’s about all I have time for on a work day.

If I’m not at work or fancy something nice then scrambled egg on toast. Or crumpets with marmite and cheese 🙂 flax porridge is good for a low carb & high fat/protein breakfast.

Good muesli (no added sugar) and green tea.

Tom, there are many better options for a

 low carb & high fat/protein breakfast.

than flax seed porridge.

Bacon, egg and top quality sausages for example.

Branflakes every morning. Struggle to poo otherwise.

Currently 14 hours into a 24 hour shift.

The thought of a sausage and bacon barm from JJ’s in the morning is the only thing keeping me sane.

Normally porridge.

The thought of a sausage and bacon barm

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm with brown sauce 😀

You bunch of bastards!

I’m going to have to have a bacon, sausage, egg and mushroom torpedo tomorrow morning now! £3.50 for 12” of goodness, there must be 4 bacon and sausage at least 2 eggs and good knows how many mushrooms. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Just 10 hours to go…… 😀

Please take Tom with you. I’m a bit worried about him.

Bacon, egg and top quality sausages for example.

I can’t be arsed to cook that in the morning, takes too long. Plus the flaxseed porridge is nice in its weird way, so long as you put some cinnamon in it.

Good muesli (no added sugar)

Lots of mueslis without added sugar still have lots of sugar 13% to 30%.More than crunchy nut cornflakes 😯 But better for you as it’s from fruit,so my wife tells me.
Anyway for me
Porridge
Toasted potato scones,poached egg and cherry tomatoes spiced up by an occasional piece of Italian herb ham
Two cups of strong proper coffee

stuck on a rig just now …..

what id give for a big bowl of good museli and real blue top milk.

*Glasgow camp boss here has endless supplies of bacon,eggs,french toast , beans , sausages etc etc ….. 🙁

Just had a cheese toastie.

Scrambled eggs, every day. Takes about 30 seconds to cook.

Last nights curry/chilli/spag bol on toast.

We have eggs most mornings. With cheese and sometimes ham

Porridge. Though a full English would be better!

1 hour, 3 minutes to go.

There WILL be bacon.

I’m 2 weeks away from getting my hands on a full English.

This thread is torture and those of you who have done it should be thoroughly ashamed of posting up pictures.

Peanut butter, banana and maple syrup sandwich and a vat of espresso
