Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I just had a great big bowl of lamb soup (nearly stew), full to the brim. My leftover lamb chop that was slightly underdone anyway + the bone from the other one made broth and I used 2 little potatoes, 1 carrot, 2 slices red onion, clove of garlic, 1 tomato, some mushrooms, dash o' wooster, dash o' beef stock, dash o' ketchup, s&p, pinch of chili flakes...
Waste not, want not. I planned this out; I said I'm going to make 1 bowl of soup out of that lamb, and it came off really well.

Steak and eggs, it's been awhile.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Interesting. A staple supper dish in the AX house is Kedgeree. (Which I know is technically a breakfast dish). Smoked Haddock is impossible to source here so we substitute smoked cod. Seems to work OK. Never tried poaching in milk but I will next time.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I didn't but tbh I'd prefer to support the local supplier of smoked cod. They pivoted to delivery during the pandemic - order placed through FB messenger, payment via EMT and fish turns up on your doorstep!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Now I want some kedgeree. :(

I used to make it often before I got married, but I am not sure I have made it since I got married, and certainly not since we came to the US in 2001. I will have to look into making some. ..... And I only ever made it as a dinner (supper) meal. :nod:

You are welcome.

Standard fayre for SR71 crews (minus the peas, for obvious reasons).

Yuk - and I thank you not for reminding me of boarding school!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

What do you think of as English Breakfast, as opposed to Canadian Breakfast, typically?

I think English is egg, bacon, perhaps a small sausage, grilled tomato and mushroom a slice of fried bread.

I think Canadian is the same but with the fried slice replaced by a hash brown or country style fried potato.

Are there parts of Canada that eat fried bread? We just had the full works, with the fried bread and my husband told me he'd never eaten it before he met me...so it got me wondering...he also calls it heart attack on a plate, and No we don't eat it often, but yum it was good...well worth it...

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

What happened to the black/blood pudding? ;)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

my grandma always used to do white pudding. Don’t think I have had it since she died.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Good point...I am very fond of it...I've never had white pudding...I bought some black pudding on Saturday at the farmer's market and they had some white there, and it occurred to me that I've never tried it...

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

All the black pudding I've bought over here turns to mush when cooked. It doesn't seem to hold its 'sliced' shape. Not cheap either.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Nobody should be eating pudding for breakfast unless you're in the 1969 film Kes. A proper full English is two basted eggs, two pork sausages, two or three rashers of bacon, beans, a fried tomato, mushrooms, chips, a fried slice, two of toast and a mug of tea. End of. That's just how proper breakfasts are. They're immutable.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Make your mind up fella! :) Previous musings

I stand by my comments in that thread... black pudding is acceptable (as is haggis in Scotland), tinned plum tomatoes not grilled tomatoes, and definitely No Chips!!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

tbh I had no idea what I was thinking. Maybe I was was lonely and trying to "assimilate" but no, there shouldn't any type of blood sausage in a proper breakfast. And chips are non negotiable. They've had chips in a full English in dacades before Dickens times. It's in the records.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

A "proper full English" shouldn't have chips, but definitely needs black pudding! :frown:

Maybe I am living in Kes-world c1969? ... Or am I a nobody? :unsure:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I had a great omelette, a 3 egger with orange bell pepper, green onions and brie and a toasted sesame bun.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

My son won't wake up for another hour so I'm fantasizing about my brekki :wub: A good quality cheese on toast with a nice slice of tomato and a bit of bacon...it's going to be yum...

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I've not had breakfast at all recently. I read an article about intermittent fasting and realised that most of the time I had breakfast only out of habit. So now I have my dinner sometime between 7pm and 8pm, then have nothing to eat until lunch the next day. I don't feel hungry at all, and I've lost about 7lbs in as many weeks.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

HID had me on an intermittent fasting two hour window and yet she doesn't want me to buy a Fluidfreeride Mantis e scooter. :(

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

This morning I had soft boiled eggs, toast, and bacon. No regrets.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I had 3 beef tacos, just the way I like them; onions, garlic, sea salt, pepper, cilantro, chili, cumin, diced moo and condimented with chunky salsa and a line of salsa verde.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Soft or crispy tacos? :)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Soft; I'm not crazy about hard taco shells.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Can I come and live in your house Caretaker... I really love the sound of your breakfasts...years ago when I was single and worked in very late night bars for extra money I would buy a Donner Kebab or a Curry on the way home and have them for breakfast when I woke in the morning...bliss.

This morning was great... I hit on some really nice thick streaky bacon and made bacon sarnies in a 12 grain bread...a classic BLT with mustard...:thumbup: Today was good...

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

As always, I have a calcium fix for brekkie...yogurt with slivered almonds.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I've been busy; made guacamole, fried the marinated chicken wings I didn't cook the other day then de-boned and diced them, finished in the skillet with cilantro and white onions. Took the sour cream out of the fridge and diced up some little cocktail bocconcini cheeses, got the salsas ready.... I'm just waiting for the pan to get hot so I can do the tortillas. The coffee is all gone so I think I'll have a Big Rock Traditional brown ale while I wait for that. I was thinking of kippers (far less work) but knowing the avocado wouldn't last, the chicken should be cooked, etc made it a matter of home economy. Also chicken tacos with guacamole is a nice celebratory sort of breakfast, just because Saturday. I opted not to make refried beans, too much.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Bravo!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Steak and eggs, toast, HP sauce.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

That was the breakfast that every Oz farmer used to have, except they had it with tomato sauce (none of that foreign muck) :D

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I had ketchup on my eggs, HP with the steak (had to dig the HP out from the back of the fridge).

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

You were born in the wrong country, you should have been an Aussie farmer :D

Scouse calls HP sauce 'horse power'. Don't know if it's a British thing, a Liverpool thing or just a my husband thing.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

It's a Canadian thing, Horse Power Sauce.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Scouse has never been to Canada! Must be a worldwide phenomenon (except for here).

Edit: I just remembered, he told me he did go to Canada (Vancouver) once. He was in his early 20s and stayed with a cousin who'd emigrated there. The cousin and a few of his mates took scouse out drinking one night and he woke up the next morning in (his words) 'a young lady's apartment' without any idea of where he was or how he got there.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Oh yeah, I remember them. I think it was in the Niagara Hotel (or possibly the Cobalt) and they were feeling no pain. One of them pocketed a bit of costume that fell off the stage and the dancer gave him what-for until he returned it. I was wearing my red Ralph's Rats Across Australia t-shirt from Ralph Lee Electric.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

HP sauce - a must with sausage rolls! :)

I have to add this one because it made me laugh out loud!!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Those are both great, now I want to listen to Mungo Jerry!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I had a BLT, nutritious, delicious, and oh so easy to spell. Was actually field greens as opposed to lettuce, but grass is grass.
