Breakfast one day may be black coffee, 2 cigarettes and a chemotherapy cocktail.

What is it?

There's not enough porridge in that dish to make a wheel. How can you have porridge and not make a wheel? Where's the fun? :lol:

Ballantine's, and that's an 8" soup bowl so there was a full serving (1 cup slow cooked oats) in there and stop dissing my breakfast. :lol:
Also it looks as though someone may have eaten a little bit prior to the photo.... :o

Round shallow dish and thick porridge.
Run your spoon through the porridge, one side to the other and eat the spoonful.

Repeat the action going across the line you did. Then two diagonals.

Now you have the spokes but a big 'nothing' in the middle.

Run your spoon in a circle around the outer edges and put your dollop in the middle for the hub.

A wheel! :)

It works with weetabix and probably with ready-brek too :cool:

It must have been a 60s/70s thing. I can't find it by googling :(

Re: Breakfast Choices

Very complicated. Maybe it would make more sense with a chaser of Ballantines.

Left over spring rolls. Is it me or where spring rolls much bigger in the UK than they are here? I remember them being monstrous things where you'd struggle to finish one.

They vary from cafe to cafe here, thinner than egg rolls but anywhere from 4' - 7'. Maybe it depends on what part of Vietnam they come from?
No brekkie for me.

Spring rolls come in different sizes. The ones I've had in the UK tend to be around 4 inches long.

I remember getting spring rolls like that from the chinese van that came round our estate when I was young. Although I went to party at a friends house once and they had bought some posh ones from M&S that were about the size of a chipolata. They were quite tasty mind.

I remember them being about 6 inches long and 2 and half inches in diameter. They were affectionally known as horse d***s.
