Thank you, it's nice someone understands. I only wanted a couple of little eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, chips, a fried slice, two of toast and a mug of tea.

Tried to give you Karma for being a person or taste but message came up that I had to spread Reputaion? What does that mean?

Means you can't just keep giving karma to the same poster all the time. ;)

But why not? Bristol deserves it. I don't go throwing Karma without discretion.

Oh that stings, and it was so good! Moose heart and deer heart tastes like steak, which is fitting since it's all muscle and I cooked this one perfectly. The little barf emoji looks like you're rejecting your morning kelp smoothie.

How dare you, it had emoji berries in it. :frown:

I'm thinking about tomorrow's breakfast already, which is unusual, but there's a reason. I was given a bunch of beer from work over Christmas, and one bottle is an Innis and Gunn Original. I was going to open and drink it, and then I thought, "I have a package of kippers still in the freezer, oh.... wouldn't that be nice for breakfast." I am committed to going for a lunch fish and chip special tomorrow at about 11:30, but if I skip supper tonight and only have a couple of lemon tarts, and then have kippers and beer at about 6 AM I should be good to go for fish and chips by 11:30.
I prefer to think of Canada's Food Guide more as a set of loose suggestions than as iron-clad law.

I'm not sure I could face beer or fish that early in the morning.

My one experience of kippers at breakfast was horrible - like a memory of the yellowy smoked haddock at school. I like haddock so it's hard to believe smoked haddock would be that bad but it was and I can still smell it now. <shudders>

I've had Fish Fingers for breakfast I'm sure.

Damn...now I've just had a flashback of a lovely battered plaice. Not had that since...probably around 2001

Innis & Gunn ! Nice !! Sank a few bottles of their Blood Red Sky over the holidays and even a Marmalade IPA. Original I&G too. One of my fave ales these days. Retails for £1.80 a bottle (330ml) here.

Bacon and eggs, saving the kippers for another day, and the beer for later.

Having used up all the eggs before my flight was cancelled, traditional breakfast isn't possible so I made mash and salad w/ salt and Peppa.

Half a toasted bagel with marmite and a small apple turnover.

There's nothing quite like having to be up and out early, walking out in the cold to an appointment, and back by 8.00am for a hearty breakfast.

Eggs in purgatory (ish) and toast. Delish.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 
Sausage and eggs on toast, chips and in the interest of economy (using the bit of cheese I left out last night), Welsh rarebit. And because I use a little beer in rarebit, (in the interest of economy), a beer.

:thumbup: Kippers is a good idea, but I just defrost the package in a sink of cold water for 15 minutes. Since I find myself kippers deficient it's time to go buy a couple of packs for the freezer.

What's the way you cook them?

I poach them first in milk and water to get some of the salt out, but not for too long because they have to stay together, then fry in butter until golden and the skin side is a bit crispy. If you eat the skin check them first and cut off any bits of fin.

Thank you, the milk is being readied for the poach. :)

Since the stroke - a poached egg or a boiled egg (no salt for either), 1 slice wholegrain toast cut in halves (no grease - garlic puree as a replacement) 1/2 of the toast with 1/2 teaspoon of sodium free peanut butter and the other half either with the egg or with about 1/2 teaspoon of pressed cottage cheese (low sodium version) - large glass of water, small decaf coffee.


Oh for the days of a full English then toast and marmalade or else bagels, cream cheese and smoked salmon, sigh.

So my step 1 (butter in the pan for the roux) would disallow it for you.... it's not right. Sadistic diet imo, I'd be agitating for healthy but good; Greek salad, the occasional small steak.....
