Breakfast of Champions

[stray]

[Ironwood]

Ok.

[stray]

Damnit, what did you eat today, man? 


And if you skipped breakfast, shame on you.

[Roac]

Where do you even buy pig milk?

[Ironwood]

Cup of coffee prepared by my wife and the warm feeling I get when I watch Elena tuck into a full bowl of Oats 'n Apple.

I don't do breakfast, unless the hotel is paying for it.

[Endie]

I used to have porridge every day: the Starbucks in my office does it with honey, jam or various stuff like that if the genuine, straight thing isn't enough for you.  I like porridge.  Except when a Spanish lady takes over the franchise and decides to make it in a sock or some shit, because it now tastes of, well, socks.  I'm not joking: independent conversations with two different people have provided the same footwear-based comparison.  I just agree with them.

I am starving in the morning, and I am filled with the desperate desire to eat multiple bacon rolls.  In the absence of porridge I cast about for something else to trick my stomach into thinking it's happy to let me think about work instead of persistently demanding of me that I supply smoked bacon and brown sauce on a delicious, buttered white roll.  Recently, the substitute has tended to be Pret's vegetable sushi.  I mean, how unhealthy can that be in comparison to tasty, succulent, heart-disease-causing, cancer-linked, chest-disease-inducing dead pig?

[Murgos]

Gym first (chest+cardio this am) and then three eggs scrambled and topped with a mix of shredded cheese (colby, jack, chedder and something else I forget) and some habenaro hot sauce.  I drank water with breakfast, I've given up caffeine for a while.  We'll see how that goes.

[schild]

I had half of a Blimpie Sub this morning. But this thread makes me desire biscuits, bacon and sausage gravy.

Southern food can't be beat imo.

[Yegolev]

It's great as long as I don't have to cook it.

Breakfast lasts until at least noon for me, meaning that I stop drinking coffee just before lunch.

You know what's good is that raw cow's milk.  Tastes much better than the processed stuff, unless you drink Mayfield brank milk in which case it is pretty similar.

[Sky]

Banana and diet coke.

My favorite is the cliche pizza and beer, though.

Mmm.. second day pizza... I don't know my body would hold up to the second day kebab these days, but day-after curry is still great.

But for favourite breakfasts, it's full Scottish.  And about twice a year, usually early in the rugby season when I crave protein, I'll cook myself my uber-breakfast of death: fruit pudding, fried duck eggs, hash browns, bacon, pork-and-apple sausages, black pudding, oatmeal pudding, fried mushrooms, fried banana, haggis slices, clootie dumpling, fried pancakes, fried potatoes and onions, baked beans, and fried tomatoes, all served with buttered toast and mugs of tea.  I grill as much of it as i can, and fry the rest in olive oil, but it's pretty much cardiac arrest on a stick.  And cooking a breakfast like that, without keeping stuff warm on the hotplate, so that it all finishes at once, is one of the technically toughest things to cook that I know.

[Ironwood]

No low Fat Stuff on there.

I love the banana.

Indeed. And a cigarette. Or 3.

[Polysorbate80]

Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Pop-Tarts, Tums, and Diet Coke

[Endie]

I love the banana.

The whole thing takes a few frying pans, but the mushrooms fried in the same pan as the bananas (although starting earlier than them) gives the mushrooms a gorgeous edge.

And of course, haggis and banana - like haggis and sauces based on loads of fruits - is delicious, especially as a pizza topping.

[Llava]

Banana.
Oatmeal.
Orange juice.
Hard boiled egg.

[Sky]

If I get a free hotel breakfast, I go with bacon or ham, home fries and a couple over-easy with toast (no butter or jam). One place we stay has a platter-served breakfast with endless platters. They put the goddamned bacon platter next to me. The guy on the other side and I demolished at least two platters of bacon every morning. I love that place (Hemlock Hall in the Adirondacks if you get the chance).

[HaemishM]

Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal, Cup of Coffee and the bitter sting of having to go to work to buy more fucking Oatmeal.

[schild]

I'll cook myself my uber-breakfast of death: fruit pudding, fried duck eggs, hash browns, bacon, pork-and-apple sausages, black pudding, oatmeal pudding, fried mushrooms, fried banana, haggis slices, clootie dumpling, fried pancakes, fried potatoes and onions, baked beans, and fried tomatoes, all served with buttered toast and mugs of tea.

Marry me.

Haha.

Since I wake up at 4am (2 1/2 hour commute on trains), I eat a bowl of cereal (whatever the hell is avaliable) and a large glass of water or if my wife is feeling extra nice, oatmeal w/ peaches.  No coffee until I get to work 2 1/2 hours later, at which point I'll have a breakfast bar (something with fiber), a banana, and 2 cups of coffee (one instant, one brewed).

On weekends though, pancakes of all kinds, or hella-fatty-breakfast, although, not as good as Endie mentioned.

[Strazos]

I'm rarely even up for breakfast, and even if I am, I skip the meal because it tends to make me want to go right back to sleep.

[stray]

Hmm...

I would think that the period you wake up is breakfast time. Doesn't matter the actual time of day.

Or are you saying you won't make something yourself?

[Strazos]

Well, I'm lucky if I am up at 10am, which I suppose Could be breakfast time, but I usually just watch TV instead until about 2pm. Then I just eat whatever is around.

Lately, it's been ramen with eggs and kecap manis. I have nothing resembling a "diet."


Edit: Oh, someone bought some milk. I guess I can have some Cheerios.

[Abagadro]

Costco brand Slim-Fast knock-off shake in a steel can.

[bhodi]

Generally, fruit of some kind. Sometimes I skip breakfast.

One of these days, I'm getting this thing installed in the kitchen:

[schild]

God I love that image. Been around forever too.

[Signe]

Good luck with the diet.  I'm sure you will look splenda when it's done!

I had some oatmeal and coffee.  What I really wanted was coffee and a cigarette.  I want that every morning.  It's irritating.

[Lantyssa]

Fruit snacks.

[Righ]

Where do you even buy pig milk?

I'm concerned. The pig appears to be male, and it's still dripping.

[Bunk]

Most Mornings: XLarge 2 Cream and a whole wheat bun, butter on the side from Timmy's

What I wish I had time for: Country Omlette with French Toast on the side from IHOP.

[Triforcer]

My breakfast was octopus sushi, spicy tuna sushi, and Philadelphia rolls.  Cheap college town sushi stands are heaven  :-D
