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?

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!

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.

'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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Today was scrambled eggs with garlic, chillies, tomatoes, and a handful of chopped corriander.

For a blowout, it's got to be scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, cream and dill on toasted brioche.

At the risk of coming over all nationalist, I prefer a good example of the full Scottish to the English equivalent. Tattie scone beats the fried bread for me.

I could no more skip breakfast than fly in the air. I usually go to sleep thinking about it.
