Breakfast Choices
 

In response to elradicchio's post about breakfast there's clearly a need for a separate thread on this subject.

This morning I had some lovely Scottish kippers with two poached eggs and some brown bread and nice butter. The kitchen is still a little smelly though.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Four Rich Tea biccies and a cup of tea.

Yesterday it was two soft boiled eggs, toast and a cup of tea.

Day before, it was a Second Cup Hot Chocolate and a muffin.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Mmm...kippers.

This morning was some artisanal raisin bread with butter & a cuppa.
Usually it's cereal or toast. At the weekends pancakes or homemade cornmeal muffins.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Homemade Porridge (non of that nasty microwave rubbish) with brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins.

BTW where can I get kippers in Calgary area as I have a sudden craving for some???

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

It seems that Blu Seafood and Market and Boyd’s Lobster Shop are good bets.

Does this mean you are fully assimilated now ? ;)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

same as Ben, some biccies and a coffee.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Soft boiled egg & soldiers + cup of tea (brewed for a while, lot of milk). Perfect Saturday breakfast.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I would give my left arm for a Bacon and Cheese oatcake (Staffordshire) with some brown sauce to dip it in!!!! :(

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Oink - I've been waiting for this thread with baited breath! Bugger all for me as I'm on a diet till OH comes home next Wednesday! Then it will be a fantasy of all things yum! Till then for us it's Sunday morning with bacon sarnies in whole wheat bread with HP for me and the same with mayo (?) for my son. You can keep lunch and all the rest, breakfast is the best by far!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Soft scrambled egg and toast today.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

But Millie you live in France non? I'm picturing you breakfasting on oven warm buttery croissants dripping with pink framboise confiture or snapping a piece off a fresh baked baguette and spreading it thick with President butter. I love French breakfast, I am envious.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

The "full English" with black pudding from the Scottish Butchers...yum!! Very necessary for the morning after the night before! :rofl:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Toast and we have run out of marmalade :(

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Two Weetabix with warm milk with a little sugar and of course a good ol' cup of tea.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Left over Indian food from Friday night. Out on the lash all yesterday afternoon/evening so no stomach for anything other than coffee early on. Although quite impressed I can do double figures I am pretty sure I am too old for this kind of lifestyle....

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Warmed croissant filled with "English-style"bacon and scrambled eggs.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Thanks Oink. :thumbsup:

Hopefully no bones...we had some Manx kippers once, smelt nice but a real bugger to eat! :ohmy:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Yesterday I had a touton and molasses with a bit of bacon. #heartattackstuffbutboydidittastegood.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Strawberry flavoured protein shake and a coffee :thumbup:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Very posh indeed, I bet you have melba toast and Nescafe Gold as well.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Coffee from Granville Island and posh bread from Whole Foods :thumbup:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Fruit and yoghurt and toast and marmite!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I had beans on toast. Proper beans not that horrible sickly sweet stuff you get over here.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

You'll be visiting the bloody Queen next.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

The last couple of loaves of bread I bought (at Safeway) featured sugar in its various forms near the top of the list of ingredients. Result: horrible toast....

We switched to shopping at Safeway as less of a bun fight than Canadian Superstore. Selection not as good though.

Can anyone recommend a brand of sugar-free bread at Safeway? I managed to find a couple of types where it features near the bottom of the list of ingredients, but I hold out hope for bread that has NO SUGAR!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Try Cobs Bread. Its not brilliant but its a lot better than supermarket stuff over here.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Does Safeway sell it? Where can I get hold of it?

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

This was my breakfast this morning - heart attack on a plate.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

For a true sense of irony, the coke should been diet coke instead.;)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Why not buy a breadmaker and make your own bread!

Bread is so sweet here and so expensive, plus we have a child with an egg allergy. Got a half price Breadman in Canadian Tire about 6 months ago for around 80 bucks. It didn't take long to recoup the money and we can make fab, healthy homebaked bread that the kids will actually eat! I usually bung it on a dough setting and make up a batch of rolls for packed lunches every other day. Plus it makes lovely cinnamon raisin bread, pizza dough, artisan breads, etc :)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Mais oui victor! But I hate French breakfasts..... (the rest of the family love 'em). I have nothing to back up my theory but I am SURE that most French road accidents are caused by the fact that these people are desperate to get home by midday for lunch! How can you go all night and then just have a bloody croissant? I think in my heart I'm a Swede or a Northern European, the idea of a bit of fish or cheese, a boiled egg and a bit of black bread makes me happy. My Cradle OH wants his heart attack on a plate - but only once every few weeks. Then sometimes we have pancakes (I'd never had one in the UK - yes I'm British but my mother never made them - but here they call them crepes, and I think they are evidently the same as British pancakes... I don't like the look of the bit fat things in Canada - I have them with a bit of creme fraiche and the OH and kid with Maple Syrup. I wake up dreaming of my breakfast.....I'm definitely of the live to eat not the eat to live brigade!

Yesterday I went to an Irish bar on College. Had the weekender which included peameal bacon and a farmers sausage. I had to send barperson for HP. Coffee was an organic columbian. Rather tasty.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Homemade protein shake made with 3 raw eggs, 2 oz whipping cream, bit of unsweetned cocoa, and ice / water. Sounds like vomit, tastes bloody fab.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

^ This is what I do (make my own bread that is). I have a dairy allergy and most commercial bread contains dairy in at least one form... so I make my own.

Only I don;t use a breadmaker for it - I do it "long-hand" using my kitchenaid mixer.

Contrary to what most people think, making your own bread doesn't take hours and hours. It only takes a few minutes to mix the dough and the rest of the time is downtime. And with fast-raise yeasts, even that isn't a really long time. I put my dough in the oven with the light on and it will raise in about an hour and a half, during which time I go off and do something else.

I don't like the way bread tastes when it comes out of a breadmaker, the shape is not like a proper loaf and I hate the way that there is a hole in the bottom of the loaf.

Besides, I already owned the kitchenaid, so using that to mix the dough means I save even more money.

Breakfast for me was a soy yoghurt and a banana btw.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

We haven't got the room for any kitchen gadgets (breadmakers included) as we're renting and the kitchen is tiny. We had thought about doing this though.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Same here... I live in a palatial 600 sq ft downtown condo. No room to swing my cats :p

I've got just about enough counter space for a coffee machine and that's it.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

We have our kettle and toaster on one side and microwave on the other, and thats it.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

We've got one of those but I've only ever used it when I had to make a lot of mashed potatoes. How easy is it to make bread?
