Sunday Breakfast

Hilda.... A fried egg sarnie is heavenly, I want one now!The very best contain two fried eggs and are made with unhealthy white sliced bread.A nice sprinkling of sea salt on the eggs.......mmmmmmmmn.

Always the same breakfasts in our house. Two cups of Italian coffee then about an hour later I have full fat Greek yoghurt with berries and a spoonful of extra thick double cream. DH has porridge which he makes before I get up, thank the stars, as I can't abide the smell.

Rarely do either of us eat a cooked breakfast but on the odd occasion that it happens DH will have a full Scottish (or Irish if we're visiting my mother) and I'll have fried egg, mushrooms and tomatoes. Baked beans definitely do not make an appearance on either plate. Is this a fairly recent addition?

anno I think in NI it's called an Ulster Fry, in Eire it has always been referred to as 'a bit of a fry' as in 'will you have a bit of a fry?' Standard fare before going to a wedding as 'sure you don't know when you're going to get fed'

We have an Ulster fry...No beans or tomato but we add potato bread and soda bread fried. We get white pudding in the supermarket or butcher shop.
We also have vegetable roll which is a sausage meat with onion and leek.

I like beans on toast (for lunch, not breakfast) but can't stand them with a 'fry-up', it makes it all too messy. No black pudding either!

During the week it's porridge in the winter and cereal (Weetabix or Shredded Wheat) once the clocks have changed. On Sunday it is egg and toast (scrambled, poached or boiled). All of the above are usually eaten in bed.
No breakfast on Tuesdays and Thursdays as they are 5:2 days.

No brekkie at all!!!!!

I read two totally conflicting articles about breakfast only just now. (I have two boiled eggs, no toast)

The first said that in order to prevent diabetes, according to some big study, you need to breakfast like a King. Oats, juice, eggs and yoghourt and fruit, and an evening meal of only 200 calories.

The second said that if you wish to lose weight, breakfast is the meal to skip. According to some big study.

Unfortunately I read the first one, First. So had a ginormous breakfast (which I hate doing).

Then read the second one and thought, you idiot! You were doing quite nicely as you were!

I usually have cereal or as a treat scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and a slice of wholemeal toast

Yesterday I did an Asian breakfast in my Church to raise funds for Christian Aid, I made a vegetable soup with asian spices and 'customers' could have a choice of mini meatballs some spicy some Chinese flavoured, thin strips of Chicken, grey Prawns, beansprouts and noodles or rice.
I also made lots of sweet and sour vegetable pickles and other pickles and additions.
for 55 people it only cost 25€ and we made more than 300€.
A lot of people were surprised how much they enjoyed it. Something different.
I am looking for ideas for next year so if anyone has had an unusual breakfast anywhere please let me know.

Porridge or no added sugar muesli for us with possibly a slice of multigrain toast and dark, chunky marmalade. When we're staying in a hotel, however, we have cereal, full cooked breakfast ( no bacon or sausage for me being a veg) followed by toast/croissants. The theory there is a/ we don't know when we're going to eat later in the day so we fill up and b/ we've paid for it!! I couldn't eat all that at home though.

felice I love the idea of a spicy breakfast. One of the nicest breakfasts I ever had was on a plane to Malaysia I think it was Nasi Goreng. I have an Anglo-Indian SIL who loves to eat cold left over curry on toast or in a sandwich for breakfast- it wouldn't occur to me normally but I think I might like Pakoras or Samosas for Sunday breakfast . I think I might try that and surprise DH one Sunday - he loves spicy food.

I really hate doing a big breakfast at home, so I just have half a bran bar and my lovely, lovely Columbian coffee, and Theseus has a slice of toast with cheese and marmite. Obviously, when the family's here, I will do whatever they want!

Sometimes, if we're in a in a hotel where it is cooked to order, I might have an egg on toast (don't eat meat or fish) and T. goes to town on kippers or smoked haddock.

The smell of a fry up, or even worse, smoked fish, is something I hate in the house. And we try to avoid salty foods, mostly. And yes, T agrees!
