Eggs, bacon, sausages and ham that I won at last night's Legion's meat raffle. I also won three games of shuffle board and then heckled a fat Irish lad who was rubbish at snooker. All in all, a top evening. :thumbup:

You should have had them with a nice softly poached egg...the crab cake...not the hot cross buns!

I'm eating the leftovers from last night; chicken tikka and lamb curry and naan from Tandoori Palace on Commercial. I've got tea but pondering having a small Bushmills just to round things out.

What exactly is "lamb curry"? Is that really what it was called?

I have the menu in my pocket; "Lamb cooked in traditional sauces and spices."
Have you had curry before?

If I had a lamb dish from an Indian place, I'd usually go for a rogan josh or a balti.

I'm just struggling to recall if any Indian restaurants I've ever been to, have a dish on the menu called "lamb curry". A Chinese restaurant might serve curried chicken or pork curry but I can't recall a Chinese restaurant having "lamb curry" on the menu either.

I wonder if those curries are like a balti but with no yoghurt?

similar this morning also, for the two of us it was - 2 plain pancakes each, 3 slices bacon each (carvers streaky bacon on special $1.99/lb) with non-maple syrup, the low cost brand from the dollar store swilled down with a cuppa tea ;)

Skip lunch today because we are meeting our son & his GF for dinner (each pay our own bill) at an Indian restaurant of his choice, we either share dishes or it will be simple Chicken biryani with some nan bread.

Indian restaurant is in little India at Coxwell & Gerrad, Toronto

Curry with sliced banana.

I didn't have it, but it was a choice. ;)

I had it for lunch instead.

Chips, chipolata sausages, eggs, proper beans, fried tomatoes, mushrooms, fried slice, two of toast and a mug of tea. HID had the eggs and mushrooms and a glass of water. :thumbdown:

Eggs scrambled with the last of the chard, on toast, with a side of beans, mushrooms, bacon bits. Copious amounts of coffee.

Breakfast today was a bannana. Yesterday it was 2 eggs and an english muffin. Other days oatmeal or cereal.

not2old Nov 8th 2015 5:13 am

Re: Breakfast Choices
 
This morning & yesterday it was & is one plain slice of toast (no butter or marg) with either some honey or home made jam spread, downed with a cup of black tea, along with vitamin E & D3 supplements.

Tomorrow breakfast will be one pack of that quaker instant oat porridge $0.20/serving with a side cuppa & half piece apple or banana

Sunday lunch [eating it late today due to raking leaves] will be either [choice from] home made chicken/veg soup or a meat something butty with some fruit on the side, large glass of water

Dinner tonight is choice from the several meals we've divided up from a previous cook up in the freezer. Decided for tonight that its going to be 'Goat stew'(potato, celery, carrot, onion in it also), side veg of fresh corn & peas. No alcohol, no dessert - just some juice, a glass of water, a fresh fruit something & a cuppa tea

Fancy responses here. Here's what my breakfast normally consists of.

Weekends : plain yoghurt mixed with some unsweetened apple sauce (sugar is evil)
Weekdays : air

Oh, air, sounds delicious. Trying adding some butter to it.

Sausage, egg and chips. But I did spend an hour and half in the gym this morning so that probably burnt up about 10% of the breakfast calories.

Bacon delight. A bacon sandwich flanked by two processed chicken burger patties, dipped in batter and fried. Then served with a tub of haagen dazs and a pint of chocolate syrup. That's washed down with my own drink recipe I call "kool aid +", kool aid with twice the sugar and a tums.

i have that every weekday before work, then on weekends I treat myself to a green smoothie.

Home made porridge with almond milk, and kiwi fruit just picked from our garden. Free range scrambled eggs with shaved organic Black Forest ham and the last of our garden's tomatoes, garlic mushrooms, and home-made carrot and poppy seed bread. Apple and carrot juice straight from the juicer and blackberry (bramble) jam from wild berries we picked in August. Vancouver Island is a great place to eat fresh stuff year round.

Now that's a decent breakfast.

And kiwis grown in BC ! For some reason I thought they only grew in NZ.

I'd be happy to find a New Zealand grown one, Chile seems to be the place stores get theirs from now.

According to the link. Italy, New Zealand and Chile are top 3 producers.

I remember when Kiwi were like 3 for $1 now lucky to get 1 for $1, they have really become a pricey little fruit.

The ones in the UK likely come from Italy, with it being the top Kiwi grower

Top 10 Kiwi Producing Countries

In Canada, I've seen them in the supermarket from Chile & the USA

As for the Kiwi polish, maybe the check country of manufacturer on the can :eek:

Opted to exercise my right to change the menu and save the salmon for supper. I just had sausage and eggs over easy on toast, mushrooms, chips and beans, salsa verde and ketchup. I can see myself working through lunch hour now.
