The Meat-Free Breakfast thread.

[JimW]

Still on the rice gruel with fermented tofu and steamed buns. Too bland to warrant a pic

 

[rich!]

Those new Sainsbury's mushroom cumberland sausages, fried with chopped red pepper. In the other pan, red onion, homegrown chilli, garlic, homegrown sage, fried until it browned and then added a can of baked beans. Served with light rye bread toast with coconut/olive oil "butter".

I have no photo of breakfast. I do have a photo of a rose tree attacking a house.

at least you aren't on stinky tofu. I still occasionally wake up from stinky tofu nightmares and it's been 2 years.

For a horrible moment I thought you were cooking and eating that

That's my lavendar and rose surprise Don't knock it until it's tried you.

Yeah but does it come with beans or tomatoes, and are hash browns a thing...

 

[High Voltage]

Out off a potential 7 B's available in a week I have 5 veggie. I miss one completely and have a slightly omnivore on Saturday. I like my non-omni breakfasts but 2 egg on toast is getting a little old and bear in mind that that's what I've had pretty much every working day for the last three years it's safe to say that I'm a creature of habit but looking for inspiration

Thread Don't let me down

OMG the reason I am so interested in breakfast threads is because I don't usually eat a cooked breakfast at all - my participation is voyeuristic and aspirational...

Sounds like you are living the dream...

 

[Cheesepig3]

1) Black pudding is usually made with pig fat...

2) It's a misconception that anything can be vegetarian so long as nothing died. The definition is subjective but to many people it means not consuming anything animal based that isn't intended for consumption. Milk is fine because the animal produces it for that very reason. If you chop off a pig's ear but don't kill the pig, it doesn't make the ear a handy vegetarian snack.

I wasn’t 100% serious.

In Rich!’s household the lavender and rose knock you.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

C'mon then! Ignore the nitpickers and let's have pics of your meat free fry-ups!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I... don't actually think milk is fine. Loads of male calves die to make sure that folks have milk available, that is the basis of the dairy industry.

We should eat them. It's disgraceful that we don't. Is it just because everyone got (quite rightly) upset about veal crates?

 

[lazythursday]

Today I had a chickpea flour omelette, one of my favourite vegan breakfasts. This one was a kale and mushroom omelette, topped with a miso and tahini sauce.

 

[Wookey]

I call it chilli spotty eggs. Go to Polish shop if you're lucky enough to have one and buy some of their lovely real sunflower seeded bread, they're mad on it. Say Please and Thankyou in Polish because is nice and helps combat the current stereotype that we Brits are all Brexit loving nobwanks.

Smoosh an avocado onto two slices of aforementioned toasted seedy breads and poach two of eggs, then dot jauntily with hot pepper sauce or peri perineum sauce and eat in two halves...The last mouthful of each of course being your dripping yolk.

So.

 

[Wookey]

Also works with boiled eggs if you've not got the bollocks to poach.

I've just had Granose packet mix Linolnshire sausages (seasoning not right for breakfast really, would be better with mash and gravy) with mushrooms and tomatoes. Forgot to take a photo.

I've made gram flour pancakes before. A quick google says that for chickpea flour omelettes you add bicarb soda - is that right?

Isn't gram flour the same as chickpea flour? Or virtually the same anyway. I use the exactly the same recipe with pea flour too. I don't use bicarb, I do add about half a teaspoon of baking powder. Otherwise equal parts flour / water, salt, flavourings (I used nutritional yeast / garlic powder) and I add a spoon full of ground flax as I find it makes it easier to flip the omelette.

yeah gram flour/chickpea flour are the same. Thanks!

The title doesn’t mention FEB or even cooked breakfast so my meat free breakfast is usually Weetabix. The best meat free cooked breakfast would be eggs florentine.

I had an amazing frittata made with chickpea flour by some Spanish people at a bring and share once. I was blown away has similar it tasted to how I remember frittata tasting.

Most vegetarians eat eggs. But they’re not intended for consumption.

 

[mr steev]

I was going to have avacado and tomato on some polish rye, but I've left the bread at work. My next option was going to be a veggie fry-up (which would've been cauldron sausages, fried egg, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast and a big dollop of brown sauce) but I have no bread. So I settled for a bowl of shreddies (well, sainsburys wholegrain malties) made with cashew milk and a sprinkling of raw cacoa powder and demerera sugar... No photos, sorry

 

[xenon]

Why can't we have a discussion about what makes a good veggie breakfast without this sort of fucking nit-picking though? Either discuss the breakfast, or sod off. Or go and moralise on the FEB thread.

And the same goes to those who criticise people who like meat substitute products also. Not my cup of tea, but I don't think buying a pack of Linda McCartneys sausages in a cardboard pack (which often biodegrades in my freezer), is reason to call anyone out on packaging - for anyone who weighed into this thread about packaging being worse for the environment

As soon as I seen the thread title I knew it could only go one way. Quite sad really but good on Maggot for giving it a go.

Come off it. Someone mentioning the environmental costs of some aavicardos and someone else making the perfectly reasonable point that pigs blood isn't vedgie. Totally on topic.

 

[xenon]

Anyway no meat free breakfast for me today. Most days are but it's the weekend. Next week I'll give something different a go as I'm on leave and have the time / inclination.

 

[ash]

Pret do a pretty good VEB, hot pot with mushrooms, home made baked beans and a poached egg. It’s really nice.

Scrambled eggs on potato farls, fried mushrooms, baked beans, avocado mashed up with chilli flakes, pinch of rocket leaves, chopped chives, salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Meat and dairy free.

Avocados can fuck right off.

 

[Oriole]

I don't get the hate for beans in a ramekin. You can easily pour them out if you want bean juice over everything whereas isolating the other stuff from mean sauce is rather tricky.
Anyway very much not cannon full English but very tasty.

Beans in ramekin means beans heated in the microwave.

Which may be OK, depends on the location.

Raw toms. One measily mushroom. One egg. WWII rationing? Stingy cook? Go on...how much did that set you back? 8 quid? 9 quid? GTFO.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

And I find it disgraceful that a thread about FEB can run to multiple pages with friendly jibes about the ingredients, but this thread cannot even get to the bottom of page 2 without people shit-stirring

Shoulda seen the flak I got for my lower cholesterol breakie thread with offal substitutes
