That would be my choice too (except the coffee will be instant and lots of it )

Soft boiled eggs and soldiers.

Like, bread soldiers, not real soldiers.

I can't fit the real ones in the top of the egg...

Sadly, no you can't get it, but I will be taking a trip back to the UK in December and it would have gone down very nicely.

Ooh, Ready Brek... I'd forgotten about that. (Adds to list.)

Cup of coffee, Bovril on toast. (Or Porridge with Cinnamon sugar if feeling cholesterol filled.)

You used to be able to get it at Treats From Home in Sydney. I remember buying Mr GG a box as a birthday present in about 2006 and nearly crying when I handed over my $15. He didn't really appreciate it, either.

Breakfast for me was museli and a glass of water. I really know how to live.

Ready Brek - Bleurgh. I once bought some similar stuff and the texture is horrible. And if you don't like it there's not much else you can do with it. At least with porridge oats you can make flapjacks or something.

I haven't seen any Redy Brek here but have seen the similar type stuff. Is Uncle Toby's Quick Oats like it?
