What's your perfect breakfast?

    I got up this morning absolutely starving so found my way quite quickly to the kitchen, but there was nothing to eat for my breakfast!! No cereal, no rashers or sausages, no fruit (i think a trip to Tesco is in order!) so i ended up eating a ham sandwich..not very breakfasty at all.

    But this got me thinking, what would my perfect breakfast be? Probably something continental...a lot of fresh bread and fruit! I can never stomach a full fry up in the morning, what's your perfect breakfast?

    A big filthy, dirty, minging breakfast roll covered in beans.

    Or a croissant with a glass of orange juice.

    Full fry with no eggs or mushrooms. Consists of:

    Rashers
    Sausages
    Black Pudding
    White Pudding
    Hash Browns
    Fried bread
    Beans

    With loads of brown sauce and mustard.

    Lunch.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,837 ✭✭✭abelard


    Alot of weetabix, with VERY cold milk......in a deep bowl (breakfast OCD here).
    Wholemeal toast.
    Orange Juice


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    the best breakfasts I find are the ones you have when school is cancelled. It means you are up at 8 anyway, so you put lots of effort into the brekkie. If this happens to me I go for the massive fry up. sausages, rashers, white pudding and beans. you just can't beat it

    No, but those students could do with a good hiding! :p

    Perfect breakfast - totally depends on the mood of the morning.

    After a big night out - a fry (or breakfast roll from spar if we're being lazy)
    On a cold morning - weetabix with hot milk.
    Any other day - normally just a bowl of cereal (preferably country store) and a glass of orange juice.

    Scrambled eggs made with mountains of black pepper on toasted wholegrain birdseed toast. Some barely cooked unsliced mushrooms. Served with a big steamy cup of tea, a glass of fruit juice, and if its the weekend, a big mofo of a danish full of those currants that explode when you bite them. Mmmm. (beats the hard bread with gone off cheese I had this morning. Damn you monday mornings on which you forget to bring food with you)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Demetrius


    Oats, fry-up with eggs, rashers (rashers mind and not bacon), sausages, potatoe wafffles+fried potatoes, mushrooms, Clonakilty black and white, juice mix, wholemeal toast with honey, blueberry yoguerts, bananas, walnuts....basically all the things I enjoy eating in the morning but do not have time to cook.

    And perhaps a side-dish, that I would have raw?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭DaBreno


    Butchers Sausages, Clonakilty black pudding, Dennys rashers, Soft centered fried egg, Fried potatoes and beans. Served with Toast and Coffee.

    The cafe across the road from my job does scrambled eggs to die for, thinks its the black pepper that gives it its extra yummy taste :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,967 ✭✭✭✭Zulu


    Good question.
    Start:
    A fresh warm croissant.
    A mug of tea. (Barry's)

    Main:
    Freshly squeezed orange juice.
    Toast. (wholemeal)
    2 rashers, one fried egg (yellow bit runny/white bit cooked properly)
    Yoplait Bramley Apple yogurt.
    A mug of tea. (Barry's)


    ...and it all washed down with a nice mug of tea. (Barry's)

    Preferably the whole thing will be served to me by a series of lingerie models, on a beach in Fiji.

    Bleh... I don't know how people can put food in their bodies first thing in the morning.

    Oh and the age of consent is 16 in the UK... so Ms Watson would be fair game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 460 ✭✭Lurk


    Coffee and a smoke......what someone told me recently was known as the 'whore's breakfast.' yum yum


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Coffee and sushi.

    Southwestern omlette: 3 eggs blended with a dash of milk, diced ham, tomatoes, bell peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and four cheeses (mozarella, parmesan, romano, and American). Once folded and pan fried, then smothered in salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. Will make one of these monsters in about 2 hours for breakfast, anyone hungry for one?

    Oh, OJ to drink, unless it's a non- work day, then throw in a little Champaign with the OJ.

    My favourite breakfast is the one my Mammy makes on Christmas morning.
    Its just a fry, the entire works really, sausage, egg, rashers, mushrooms, pudding, fried bread, beans, etc. But for some reason it taste a million times better then usual on Christmas morning!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Probably the large dose of sedatives to stop everyone acting the maggot and let her have a peaceful day.

    Toast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 145 ✭✭Grem


    A toasted bagel factory bagel with egg, mushrooms and cheese with loads of black pepper and a pinch of salt. And a kiwi kick smoothie too. MMMMMMMMMMM.

    Or failing that superquinn saussie's on a crispy breadroll is simply superb also. With a big glass of Squeez multivitamin juice.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,661 Mod ✭✭✭✭Faith


    Wow, I don't even like fries, but I'm dying for one now...

    Mine is when you're staying in a fancy hotel and they have a massive buffet. I'd stay there for hours, sampling everything. Yummy.

    Or toast and tea when I'm hungover.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Would be the one my mum used to make when I was going to school.... ah those were the days :D

    Started off with a big bowl of porridge, actually it wasn't even a bowl. It was a pyrex dish as there was no bowl big enough :o
    Then that was followed by a nice big fry up of sausages, rashers, pudding, eggs and fried potaotes or boxty washed down with a mug of tea and 4 slices of toast!

    2 slices of white bread, real butter, loads of HP brown sauce, superquinn sausages, hash browns + 1 soft fried or poached egg.

    Failing that I'll settle for anything put next to a big pot of tea.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,306 ✭✭✭NeMiSiS


    What's in eggs Benedict?

    From the bottom up:

    English muffins. Unfrozen is best. Their split halves should be toasted to crispness. Tearing the halves apart with a fork or with hands, rather than slicing them, increases their surface area, and therefore also their flavor and absorbancy. Few restaurants bother. English muffins need not be the soft, yeasty, most popular Thomas's brand. Actually, they should not be, since Thomas's standard muffins are too small and their sandwich-size muffins are too large. Matthew's is a good retail brand of English muffin in the New York City area.

    Canadian bacon. Standard bacon comes from pork "bellies," the underside of the hog, along the ribs. Canadian bacon comes from the meatier loin, along the backbone. It is trimmed of excess fat and is cured like ham. Often, ordinary ham is substituted in eggs Benedict. Canadian bacon should be freshly grilled, but is always packaged presliced, which does not improve flavor or texture. Technically, it is "Canadian-style" bacon if it is not of Canadian origin. Canadians do not eat it more than any other pork-product-loving people, though they may call it back bacon or pea-meal bacon.

    Eggs. Poached till whites are set but not chewy. Vinegar may have been added to help set the whites, but that should not be detectable. The yolk can range from runny to almost set. The yolk should be hot during cooking; it is a very special bonus if it's still hot, yet not too thickened, when it reaches your table. Excess white is sometimes trimmed before serving.

    Hollandaise sauce. A hardly cooked beaten egg yolk, gently thickened with hot drawn butter, plus a squirt of lemon juice and/or dusting of paprika or similar spice. The lemon flavor and/or spice should not be overwhelming. Hollandaise should not be too buttery, which overwhelms the flavor of the poached eggs and Canadian bacon beneath it. Low-end eggs Benedict is served with instant hollandaise sauce (reviewed at the bottom of the recipes page).

    Side dish. Potatoes, especially home fries, an excellent foil for mopping up stray yolk and sauce. Roasted potatoes also are common.

    Beverages. Juice, mimosas, and bloody Marys are popular. Coffee or tea complements or finishes the meal.

    That used to only keep me going for 3 hours! Played a lot of sport back then, played for my college and for my club at different levels so I was playing 3 or 4 games a week and training at lunch times with my college and in the evenings with my various club teams.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Great question OP!

    Pighead has two types of Breakfasts.
    Type 1: Corn Flakes with Milk( if I'm feeling adventurous or naughty, perhaps the slightest dash of sugar on top)

    Type 2: Croissants cut in half and spread with nutella add some chopped nuts and a little bit of grated chocolate followed accompanied with orange/grapefruit juice followed by pastries, bagels, egg dishes, cream crackers and French toast. Then on to the main fry which consists of bacon, eggs, sausages, mushrooms, hash browns, Fried Bread, fried tomatoes and fried onions.

    Which breakfast I have depends on many things but mainly upon whether I'm back in me mams house or not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,558 ✭✭✭netwhizkid


    My perfect breakfast is, Rashers and scrambled eggs in a bread roll, sort of half mooned shape (not french soup roll). After this silver dollar pancakes about 1 inch across, a plate of these smothered in syrup and a vanilla milkshake to wash it down. Lovely. I had this breakfast a few times in a little cafe in Queens, New York, while I spent a few days there while travelling the East Coast. Is it me or does food always taste better while you are away travelling???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,894 ✭✭✭✭phantom_lord


    I usually just have crunchy nut cereal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    If I'm not that hungry, then a bowl of fruit muesli and a glass of fruit juice. If I'm in a junk-food mood, then pancakes with maple syrup and a really big mug of strong black coffee with lots of sugar :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    A bowl of weetos or a bacon and egg sandwich.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 replicantface


    Tom Yum noodles.
    Soda Farl toasted and slathered with butter.
    Couple of slices of lightly toasted batch (toasted only on one side).
    Grilled potato waffles.
    Fried slices of potato.
    Potato Farls fried.
    A few hashbrowns.
    Some leftover Indian food (pref very very spicy).
    Some chicken sausages.
    Some bacon.
    A bag of salted peanuts.
    A few slices of cold chicken/turkey.
    A huge cup of steaming hot coffee.
    A glass of grapefruit juice.

    Tasty way to get a Saturday hangover moving in the right direction.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,383 ✭✭✭emeraldstar


    a BIG MASSIVE bowl of cereal, followed by another bowl (can't say what cereal exactly, it changes a lot)
    Muffins
    Pancakes/Drop Scones
    Barry's Tea


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,407 ✭✭✭✭justsomebloke


    perfect brekkie would have to be anything decent while sitting on a nice foreign beach and a nice summer morning, but preferably something like pancakes as you can't get decent fry anywhere else


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 944 ✭✭✭NoDayBut2Day


    Almost anything, as long as it's NOT continental style breakfast!! haha...

    Right now, I would like fried rice with an egg on top. mmmm
