The *FULL* cooked breakfast thread - back me up

[danny la rouge]

In Israel they do this thing called Shakshuka, otherwise known as Kibbutz Breakfast (though Turkish friends of mine have told me about the same thing from Turkey, so it's clearly a regional thing rather than specifically a kibbutz thing)

Anyway, how I learned to make it (it's one of those meals that everyone does a bit differently)...

Fry slowly in olive oil ... onions, garlic, red peppers, chillis to taste, and tomatoes, plus a decent slosh of lemon juice. Cook it slowly to a mush. Then break eggs on top, put on a lid and leave the eggs to cook (yolks will go on cooking as long as they're on top of the food, so the longer, the less runny). Then scoop out one egg each with a decent serving of the shakshuka, and eat it on a nice doorstep of fresh bread. Hopefully make enough for a second go

It's absolutely the best hangover cure I've ever had, too.

Yes, I make that. It’s like a Middle Eastern Huevos Rancheros. I use harissa, sumak and cumin in mine.

Actually, now that I’m being vegan I’ll have to think of something to replace the eggs.

Oh god yes, I discovered that in 2020 and it's absolutely top notch. I do it with cous cous for a lunch.

It goes well with hummus, or a really garlicky and non-runny tahini preparation. That's my vegan version and it's nice, though I expect an imaginative vegan cook could do better!

A heuvos rancheros yesterday....it was superb.

Ok, I do appreciate that not everyone loves kippers.
(another) Breakfast of champions, though.

Ace Rimmer was not wrong.

Interesting the way the subconscious works. This morning I put on this T shirt for the first time in months:



I don't wear it often, trying to preserve it for a few more decades.

 

[Sasaferrato]

And then there are Kippers. When you get good ones you know it.

Haven't had a decent kipper in years. They are pathetically skinny things now. Back in the day, one kipper covered the plate.

Plates have got bigger.

No! Kippers have got smaller.

Yeah - Kipper Ties were rather big back then..

Just cooked and ate this I loved it. Over the last year or so I finally can do poached eggs.

My favourite hipster breakfast is vegetarian kedgeree from the Vincent in hackney

Sounds like gram flour would work.
I do a similar kind of dish, there's a few recipes about.
You mix gram flour, ground flax and nutritional yeast flakes, blend it with water. Cook the veg slowly in a frying pan then pour the gram flour batter over.

I keep meaning to try the vegan version of French toast where you dip the bread in gram flour batter.

I didn't go out for breakfast today as I needed to clean-out the fridge prior to a shop.

So it was a cheesy, bacon rowie with ketchup.

Then another, with double the quantity of cheese so I could empty the fridge/bread bin and the Jackdaws still got a good feed!

Sounds hellish...

I know, cleaning that grill afterwards was a right chore..!

Mrs Fish has been working on putting together an exhibition for a well known fashion designer this week and some of them have been invited for breakfast with her tomorrow, ahead of the grand opening.

Will be interesting to see what they have. I suggested she sneak-in some rowies, tattie scones, golden syrup etc if she wants some real local food to set her-up for the day.

Washed down with Moray Cup.

mrsfran ‘s rather marvellous looking birthday breakfast:

(Stolen from another thread).

Are those slices of white pudding to the left?

Ideal size for me, everything looks awesome. If I was being so tawdry as to mark it it would be close to 10/10, but as I am not I will just say "well done and enjoy that breakfast".

 

[mrsfran]

It is white pudding! It was cooked for me by Santino . Bacon was crispier than it looks here, it was all delicious.

Not exactly breakfast but we found a country pub on the way back from Aviemore last night that had a menu full of old-style Scottish traditional favourites like their own broth, mince and tattles, Ox liver and onions and proper, oatmeal-stuffed beef olives, which were massive and utterly delicious!

Thing-is, the last time I was in that pub, many years ago, it was trying to be a chi-chi/foodie place but under the current owners, it was full of teuchters having a good feed and all the better for it.

[pogofish]

Having a nice breakfast at the pub just now - well, I’m on to the last coffee. Definitely a civilised start to a Sunday.

Away to fill two brown bins with garden wast and do the messages, so it will set me up nicely.

I like to add avocado to a FEB. Also haggis.

I've had an FEB served with haggis in place of black pudding. It was lovely.

Hi VP, great to see you!

Aside from chips, hash browns are the best potato product in existence.

They're pox-ridden triangles of shittiness, you gull-fondling egomaniac!
