More about breakfasts.

[RED-DOG]

I asked the other day about good alternatives to McDonald's breakfasts and it got me thinking.

My usual brekky is porridge with salt, sweetener and a sprinkle of seeds or nuts. About twice a week I'll have fried eggs on toast with a coupe of slices of faken, (Fake bacon) very occasionally I'll have a full blown fry up.

But what do other people do about breakfast when they're at home? Do you have breakfast at all? What to you eat? When do you have it?

If I were guessing I would say for instance that Ralph is a toast and marmalade man, Barry Carter is bran flakes and Tony is a cup of tea and a croissant that he bought last night from Tesco Express.

Scrambled eggs actually

I hope we can still be friends

Never have breakfast, with just 2 exceptions;

1) When Gill is with me.

2) When I stay in an hotel.

That apart, never partaken of breakfast since I was a boy.

I don't know yet. I mean, is there any toast, butter, juice, tea etc, or is it just the eggs like a wierdo?

Do you have croissants when Gill is there?

When you were young did you shovel all that sand and gravel on an empty stomach?

Standard breakfast at home daily is a bowl of Raisin Splits and a smoked salmon and cucumber farmhouse bap with an orange juice.  

Treat breakfast (once or twice a month maybe) would be a full on large english breakfast at Wetherspoons with a pint (usually around 1130am when i am in town early in the morning so i have been up a while before i have a pint!)

Toast and orange juice the vast majority of the time.  Fruit, if my food intake was particularly poor the day before.

When in hotels, fruit plate first, then optional cooked breakfast with any leftover space.

Wow! That sounds great, but what are the logistics? How often do you buy your salmon and how do you store it?

[DungBeetle]

Normally smoked salmon, spinach and boiled egg with a celery and lime juice.

When in Vegas I let go and have fried chicken with maple syrup and waffle at the Wynn.   Non stop for 10 days.

This sound's great too. Like something James Bond would order.

I've gotta get me on the smoked salmon bandwaggon.

BTW- Is it served hot or cold?

Personally i think the unbolded breakfast sounds greater and would be my preferred choice daily!  

Salmon is bought weekly and stored in fridge.  What are the other options regarding storing it?

I can't eat the fruit first, I'm too impatient to get at the bacon.

Just eggs, rocket and this plummy balsamic vinegar that is much nicer than it sounds. If I am feeling a bit fruity, I'll chuck a bit of cheese in there.

Huge coffee as well

It's cold with pepper and lemon.  If I have time I make it myself, but otherwise Pret do these little pots with the same thing.  Bit of a rip off though!

Well what I meant was we buy some really nice frozen salmon fillets from Lidl, and I wondered if you bought frozen or fresh.

I didn't know fresh would keep for a week.
