Boil in the bag kippers and brown bread

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

If I'd opened a different can and made refried black or red beans it wouldn't be.. I throw a shot of wooster sauce in when heating baked beans too (last step in cooking this). Salsa's good for the blood and beans are great roughage so no guilt is involved. I like making my own tortillas lately and want to hit up Superstore for some bulk cornflour, Wholesale Club's been out of it in bags for ages, flour tortillas are good too though. A batch of tortillas using a mug of flour, dash of salt, spoon of oil and water means about 4 meals, cooking it saves $3 and feels rewarding, especially when it starts working like it should. In one of the Carlos Castaneda books when Don Juan (or Don Genaro, not sure) was in a fancy restaurant in Mexico City he ordered tortillas and beans even though that's peasant food, because that's what he wanted and you can't change some things.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I had soft boiled eggs, toast, broiled salmon with tarragon butter and a handfull of chips, coffee. A small cleansing shot of Bushmills now to settle the meal.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Jalapeno green onion corn cakes and salsa.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Donair meat, fried egg, beans.

A rare breakfast treat today sat in front of the early (8.00 kick off) :p

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Leftover veg curry. And fresh croissants.

Not my best ever weird breakfast combo.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I was just about to ask if you'd got the wrong thread.

I had sausage egg and chips in 1980. Not the oddest choice but not the best choice just before setting out to hike up the Kirkstone Pass. We wanted something hearty and expected a variant on a typical English breakfast not knowing chips were included.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Saw a cafe with a sign saying "We serve breakfast at any time" so I ordered sausage egg and chips in 1980. :lol:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

That must have been next to the general store where I couldn't buy anything specific.

Steven Wright. Genius.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

black coffee and 2 cigarettes
food in the morning is just- wrong

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Where's that beatnik picture again? :rofl:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

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

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

What wine goes with porridge? This one.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

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:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

A wheel?

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

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

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

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.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

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.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

:(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.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Perhaps

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

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

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

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.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

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

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I love your somewhat intermittent self censorship Oink - that must a a truly terrible word :lol:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Warm granola with 1% milk and yogurt on top, a kale, carrot and celery shake and cup of green tea.
Just kidding!:rofl:
Sausage and ham with 2 fried eggs on rye toast, corn jalapeno fritters, beans and salsa and a glass of Errazuriz Estate merlot from Chile 2013 vintage (has the hallmarks of a great breakfast wine, imo).

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Multigrain Finn Crispbread and Brie.

No wine though. ;)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Half a grapefruit + a 4 minute boiled egg, finger soldier toast for dipping, together with a cuppa tea.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

tell me about corn jalapeno fritters please- they sound yummy.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

My latest kick, I bought corn flour to make tortillas with and they were not as good as the flour tortillas I was making so I wanted to think of something else to make with it, and Siam restaurant here has corn fritters on the lunch buffet and they're really good (possibly the best thing there). I was not able to replicate theirs, but that's ok. I gave it a google and saw jalapeno, had it in the fridge, frozen corn, green onion too, missed the cheese but started using it in the second batch. I use all the pancakey battery stuff, mix of corn flour and white flour, baking powder, cornstarch, pinch of salt, sugar, little oil, eggs, milk. I was just surfing the subject and saw an Aussie adaptation with avocado, and you know, I have one that needs to be used up today. There are no rules, it's an outlaw food and I like that. It's also deliciious and healthy and costs pennies to make.
They're versatile, I make 12 - 15 at a time and they're good for 2 - 3 days in the fridge and 2 min and change in the microwave heats a few up. Good for all 3 meals and snacks, with soup, chili, wings, Chinese, and the list goes on. Drain a can of salmon and mix it in, (maybe use a milder white cheese or go the other way and shred Monterey Jack) pair with a white wine or rose'.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Thanks-always good to try something new. Might make some for Christmas lunch? :thumbsup:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Sardines & spinach on toast with a poached egg on top. Copious amounts of coffee on the side.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

:ohmy: is that normal in Canada? Or anywhere?

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Depends on one's definition of "normal" :p

Tomorrow's breakfast is likely to be Greek yoghurt with olives, onion, spinach & avocado ...

The other option is leftover curry, again

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

You must live a wild sorta life :)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Went out for breakfast today: disastrously awful eggs Benedict; had to walk halfway up a mountain then retreat to pub to wash away the taste/memory ;).

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

As it's going to be one of those brutal lead-up-to Christmas weeks the only thing that could of set the morning off right was a pair of kippers, two nicely poached eggs, some whole wheat toast and a large glass of tomato juice. 'Champion' as northern people say.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

:thumbsup:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I don't care for fishy eggs or fishy chips so I had poached eggs and chips first, and now on another plate am halfway through my kippers on toast. I poached the kippers for quite a bit in milk and water to get most of the salt out then sauteed in butter - perfect! ;)
Paired with Old Bushmills Irish..... no work today and it's -20 so I'm staying in and engaging in the ancient Christmas tradition of morning drinking.
