Breakfast.

I need to stop reading this thread....it has me hanging for a big dirty fry up, a rake of omelettes, pancakes and anything greasy in a bread roll. All at the same time.

Ready Brek - now there's something I haven't had since I was a chisler! I'm going to buy meself a box of it. Remember the ads where the kids had this red glow around them as they went out to school?

Breakfast this morning - Total 0% Greek yogurt, about a tablespoon of porridge oats, blueberries, raspberries, agave syrup and a sprinkle of mixed seeds from the little bags you get in Dunnes. Coffee, milk, Splenda.

I'm a savage for an auld sausage and egg McMuffin breakfast deal with tea though. Om to the nom nom.

This thread is the reason I'm about to make scrambled eggs, rashers, and crumpets for dinner.

Coffee and Ginger Nuts.

They're the ones from Aldi so they're more inclined to fall into the coffee, which is a bit annoying

10-01-2016 11:08am

I do like ginger nuts.....

shakencat · 10-01-2016 11:12am

i bring the mother in law for lunch/dinner every sunday, meaning.. carvery at 12:30pm in the MORNING.

it does fill me up nice and good though

10-01-2016 11:31am

I'm on me second cup of tea.

I really want toast now because of the toast thread.

Has to be one of the best ever comfort foods.

Menas · 10-01-2016 11:34am

Just munched a yummy omelette (ham, cheese and mushrooms) with toast made from special posh bread (dont ask me what type, that would involve moving from the couch to find out).
Cup of good coffee to wash it down.

Next step is to hop in the car with the 5 year old and up the mountain to find some snow!

Am I the only one who thinks coffee is just for drinking on its own and tea is for food?

I just don't get how people drink coffee with their breakfast or lunch or whatever.

Coffee is like dessert.

I'm having runny poached egg, avocado, on spelt toast with TEA. I'll have a coffee after that and then I'll be out the door for the day!

I was just looking at that thread and I have been off bread for a week and now I want toast with my eggs.

I don't know whether to cave or not because well it is Sunday and also it's not really my weakness, it's the threads fault not mine. Yep that sounds like good enough guilt free reasoning for me, toast and scrambled eggs it is then

smurgen · 10-01-2016 12:06pm

Had a grilled fry.vats of coffee and a pint of water.after a 10 mile run so all guilt free.oh the joys of staying in.

Yeah come to think of it I don't think I've ever drank coffee with food. I only drink coffee the odd time and it's usually if I just get some random craving for it or else need a very strong caffeine boost. I used to drink about 15 cups per day, but even then never with food.

I never got the whole thing of people ordering tea or coffee as a 4th course after large meal. I could never feel less like tea/coffee than after eating 3 courses but it seems to be a very common thing and is included on a lot of menus.

I'll drink tea with a hot breakfast (never with cereal or yoghurt or fruit), with sandwiches, or else with something chocolatey and that's it I think.

Anyways I'm rambling here sorry.

I don't often eat breakfast but this thread is inspiring me to go make some rashers, mushrooms and eggs maybe.

Watched a show on Netflix the other evening called Fed Up and it was a real eye opener.basically about the health crisis in America and how food companies are ruining the public health with sugar.it was a disturbing watch I recommend people to watch.the cereals sold by American companies are packed full over sugar and to be avoided at all costs.I actually reckon a grilled fry is better for ya than a bowl of coco pops.

One of the best documentaries I've ever watched. Should be mandatory viewing.

Grilled fry - kind of agree and disagree - unless they're excellent quality saussies and rashers you're putting on your plate then it's not an ideal breakfast. Otherwise it's just a plate of bad processed meats, but yeh. Saussies with high pork content, rashers without a million additives, decent black pudding even, couple of eggs not bad for a Saturday morning with a cup of TEA and a catching up on the news, will set you up nicely for the day. It's never about that one meal anyway, and if you want the odd bowl of coco pops bloody well have them, it's about your overall diet and what you're eating every day of the week.

God I'd love a bowl of coco pops now.

Ruu · 10-01-2016 2:17pm

Had chicken sausage for breakfast. My favourite meal, get a bit giddy about it.

10-01-2016 2:21pm

Or high chicken content of course

Coffee at/towards the end of a meal makes sense to me:
It compliments the sweet (oh la la).
It gives a bit of an energy boost after the meal.
It helps the meal pass through your system.

healthiest cereal, least sugars, fat et around?
I know porridge is the best but haven't the time most mornings to make it.

I'm watching it now, scary stuff. The size of some of those kids is ridiculous.

You can soak porridge the night before and it'll take two mins in the microwave in the morning! Add loads of delicious things to it like fruit, nuts or seeds to make it tasty and more satisfying. After that probably Weetabix, best of a bad bunch, the rest are all pretty awful. Maybe some brands of muesli/granola type things are okay but they generally all have an awful lot of sugar and you should just take two mins to make porridge, really.

Lads

Anyone recommend an early morning (7.30) sitdown breakfast in or around Heuston/parkgate st/kilmainham or thereabouts?

Looking for a regular Friday morning spot but everywhere seems to have mean enough options or not open til 8.

Did try the asking, was ok but the maitre'd was so bemused and shocked at a walk-in request for brekkie that he haunted us for the duration and I rather not.

Cheers!

Breakfast.
