Anyone have anything 'different' for breakfast? I like a cooked breakfast at the weekend (well, actually I like it most of the time, it's just that I don't usually get around to it apart from at the weekend) - but it's usually limited to grilled bacon and fried eggs, nothing terribly exciting. Sometimes I go mad and make hash browns, too.A full Irish breakfast (which I used to serve when I worked in my friend's caf&"233;) would be eggs, bacon, white pudding, black pudding, a sausage and optional beans, tomatoes and mushrooms, followed by toast and marmalade and loads of coffee or tea. Not that dissimilar from a Full English, really, apart from the puddings.The Americans seem to have a far wider range of cooked breakfast foods, like casseroles and pancakes and so on. I was hoping for some new ideas for my weekend breakfasts - so - do you have any particular favourites?
Toasted bacon sandwich: fried onion, Dijon mustard, bacon and tomato slices.
I don't quite understand how people can eat so early! It needs to be about 3pm before I can comfortable eat food.I do have a weakness for bacon though! YUM!!!X
I have fruit, yoghurt and bran during the week and at weekends I'll occasionally have toast or a bacon sarnie on a Sunday when hubby returns from cycling. Very rarely can I face a full cooked breakfast - just too much for my digestive system to cope with. Scrambled eggs and grilled bacon if I'm away at a hotel is usually my limt.x
once a week, maybe a sausage sandwich for breakfast once in a blue moon a bacon butty.if i was making a full english breakfast - we would have it as late lunch.it consists of (all the good for you stuff, lol)a couple of rashers of bacon, a couple of sausages, a slice or 2 black pudding, (which i grill) with a tomato halved (whole tom each), hash brown, fried mushrooms, OH will have a fried slice I have a slice of toast, and an egg - served with a "builders strength" mug of tea.oooh am starving now.
oh and not long back from tesco - and i brought a tube of croissant dough (has a 2 month shelf life - but fridge shelf not cupboard).
Occasionally, holidays and high days. Love bacon, egg, mushrooms and black pudding...and tom. ketchup....yummy!foodie.
Sammy, that dough is great stuff. Always handy for a lazy sunday////X
Sometimes we do indulge at the weekend, but like Sam we eat it late morning/noon. A typical full breakfast for us would include poached or fried eggs, mushrooms, fried toms, bacon, baked beans and toast. If I have any cooked potatoes left over, I also love to turn them into hash browned potatoes.Yesterday for a change I made eggs benedict florentine....poached eggs over spinach on muffins, topped with Delia's hollandaise sauce. Yummy but very rich!Breakfasts in Toronto often include a portion of chopped fresh fruit....melon/pineapple/strawberries. Pancakes with syrup or fruit puree - often with sausage too - are a popular alternative. Way too filling and sweet for me!
When we were kids my dad used to do fried bread with a cooked breakfast only on sundays.Before the kids and animals cames along (when you have no option but to get up to early) hubby & i could laze in bed on a saturday or sunday when there was no work we would do a cooked breakfast around 11, couldn't eat before that. Bacon,fried eggs, mushroom, sausage and toast.Now i will do eggs, sausage, beans & toast for me & the kids sometimes on a saturday night when hubby is away. Unfortunately in France Bacon is terible, so rather go without than cook the stuff they sell.Do miss a good bacon sandwich.
Unless there's something to celebrate I only ever have Porridge for breakfast, and I'm not allowed to skip it though I'd prefer to. After that I can have what I please.It's good for the skin! And morning grumpiness.
It's good for the skin! And morning grumpiness."Will have to try this on the hubby for breakfast, he is so grumppy in the mornings.
"Will have to try this on the hubby for breakfast, he is so grumppy in the mornings."Once he's used to it you'll notice the difference I think. It works for me until nearly lunchtime but by then I've regained the ability to feed myself when I need to :-)

Seraphina, that is exactly what I just had for lunch! Well not with the champers, sadly - although we always do at Christmas time. Today it was just a glass of tomato juice.I finely chopped some green spring onions and sprinkled over the creamy scrambled eggs, and served with the salmon on the side. So I suppose we really had breakfast for lunch!Welcome to the forum, by the way!
