Green mephitic sludge that looks like goat vomit. :(

Chocolate cupcake with peanut butter icing. :thumbup:

So post #399 is now out the window then:thumbup:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Vita Est Pro Victus will be replaced by a reinstated Food Reich as HID returns from her conference tonight. :(

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Or, a slight variant to the English
Dum felis dormit, saliunt mures.

I prefer
Cum vinum intrat, exit sapientia.... But substitute vinum for beer

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Cereal. Kind of like raisan bran but the flakes were not bran. Kashis version of it.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Tonight I'm cleaning fiddleheads for tomorrow morning, to be fried the bacon...yum, I knew Atlantic Canada was good :thumbup:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

:eek:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

The simple tales of fishy folk, both East and West:lol:

(I am only jealous!)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I tried them once. Not fried.

Buffalo style looks interesting.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Fiddleheads are alright. They grow on the side of the road here and people come and pick them. They are a bit fussy to make though all that cleaning and and what not - not really worth the effort unless somebody else is doing it.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

What the hell are fiddleheads?

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

The curly bits of young ferns. Like in the pic that bristol posted.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

:blink: I couldn't make out what they were.

Young ferns eh? My mind was conjuring up something far more grotesque. :eek:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Me too... And I thought that they were some weird fanged East coast fish... Hence my previous post:o

Yeuch .. Why would you eat bracken?:confused:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

They are the sprouting bits that first pop out of the ground of the Ostritch Fern (none of the other ferns will do, apparently) and the season only lasts for a couple of weeks and is highly prized, and like most things foodie, I will buy into it! You have a bit of a faff cleaning them....but we have lots of time in NB, so put the Archers and your rubber gloves on and off you go.....boil them for 15 minutes, then wash them and they are ready to be: fried with a bacon for breakfast or in a salad with tomatoes and vinaigrette, as I will do tomorrow evening with barbeque. What I do like here is that it is so very seasonal...and the seasons can bring you up and down, so if you are on a roll, you might as well go with it...we are in the time of celebration:thumbup:

They taste like a cross between cooked asparagus and chicory, and the saltiness of the bacon cuts the taste nicely.

Bon appetite :thumb:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

That sounds actually not bad, I do like asparagus, so that and bacon:thumbup:
Yes but save Helen .... Evil evil Rob:sneaky:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

On second thoughts...I will pass on the fiddlehead thingies and settle for two servings of bacon. :thumbsup:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Precisely. I've just been chopping them out of the garden wall.

Asparagus, a different story. Had my first batch of new season last week and keep reminding myself to get another batch soon. Prepared with bacon as it happened.

Wikipedia notes: Like other ferns, brackens do not have seeds or fruits, but the immature fronds, known as fiddleheads, are sometimes eaten, although some are thought to be carcinogenic. (see Poisoning)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

:eek:But there again so is the bacon! It looks like it is carcinogenic when eaten raw but ptalquiloside, the chemical in question when cooked, denatures and the food is then safe...it has put me off a little :(. I agree, love fresh asparagus and thankfully my pee smells sweet! I remember roadside stalls in Norfolk around this time of year :cool:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Bacon, is good for the soul ;)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

And, if you mix it with the greenery then the bad effects are nullified.
(Allegedly !!:lol:)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Those poor spears...suffocated!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Yes, but what a way to go!:lol:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Steak and eggs with beans and tortillas, side of chips. Diet coke. :lol:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

A bowl of some sort of lumpy sludge, probably something HID got from cleaning out the u-bend under the kitchen sink. The little strawberry on top did not make it much more appealing. :(

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Ready Brek.

My first time ever. Was it good for you? :lol:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Bacon & scrambled eggs on a large slice of Edam.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Why not have something you can taste? ;)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

All in the texture, mon ami. ;)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Brie and bacon on toasted baguette here.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

:unsure:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

First winter porridge this morning. But I didn't make a wheel with it.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Corned beef hash with a fried egg on top, toast.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I feel queasy every time I have that...which is not often.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Coffee. Yoghurt.

While I like both, individually, they don't seem to be a great combination.

& no, I didn't put the coffee in the yoghurt, or vice versa.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Unusually when prepping the ankle biters school Lunch I made time for some toast for myself, which I had with the last of my Barbadian guava jam I won in a raffle a while back.

So, any suggestions where I can get some pukka spreads? Rather than American sugarjam?

I like grapefruit or ginger marmalades...

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

How about some smoked salmon and cream cheese spread?

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

This fine and sunny morning I really fancy eggs benedict. That would be with spinach and mushrooms.

What I will be having though is a bit of toast and marmite. Meh!
