The Meat-Free Breakfast thread.

So you declare mushy peas a bizarre outlier, then state that if there were stricter parameters you may attempt an MFB - this is not a thread to market the idea to you and get you to try one.

It's not to my taste, but if Maggot wants mushy peas on his breakfast then I am not going to argue with that tbh. Sure it's not going to be core for me, but there are worse things that could happen

No, you misunderstand, me trying an MFB isn't dependent on anything apart from wanting to give it a go.

And I'm not sure there are worse things that can happen. :p:D

Their Full English features cashew scrambled 'eggs', aubergine 'bacon', herbed 'sausage' and raw tomato ketchup. Not a single item is cooked and the flavours are pretty inspired. It is expensive but delivers on taste, presentation and nutrition. Guilt-free fry-ups aren't easy to come by, but these guys have it nailed.
No they fucking haven't!
How on earth did they get them mushrooms in that state if they're not bleeding cooked?

If you are wanting suggestions for an MFB and are not vegan, I would suggest:

-eggs (fried, scrambled, or poached - however you like them best)
-mushrooms (a great big pile, fried in butter)
-baked beans
-tomato (fry slices or tomato halves on a high heat, or grill them)
-toast or fried bread

Sometimes when I make too much mashed potato I will form the remains into rounds and freeze them, then put them in the oven to cook until browned on the outside and hot in the middle as part of a breakfast. You can add grated cheese to them also if you like. This is not one of those processed hash browns, this is nice.

not to mention you'd need to do *something* to those tomatoes to make them look so shrivelled

Good god, there's some half decent looking breakfasts in that link but that one is nasty.

I sense a dehydrator used somewhere in there. Not technically cooking but......

Just to be clear, I think it looks rank - I don't think anyone ought to be proud of serving that up when there could be beautifully cooked eggs and fried mushrooms and tomatoes - I just wouldn't have used the words "rectal bleeding" on a food thread...

Yeh you're right

I should have said it looks like a mix of salsa and intestine tartar whizzed up together in retrospect

Well, it's a start

I going to suggest a "lift" from the FEB thread - there needs to be "core" elements and 2 x eggs (in a complete state or 3 eggs scrambled), seems to be a fairly non-contentious start - not going to win any vegan friends, but this is a "Meat Free" breakfast

A breakfast with no animal committed, but NOT a breakfast free from animal involvement

No animal cruelty involved - that would be my only "red line"- I feel that to include an "animal-derived element" then providence is "must" - so this, in my book, automatically rules out any "budget" "economy" "value" or "2 for 1" type deals on anything that has a non-vegan source - quality MUST over-ride quantity

When I think of "veggies" I immediately think of baked beans - so baked beans, I feel, need to be core, over and above tomatoes - there's going to be some push for Heinz from the FEB thread but I think on here the Heinz preference needs to be ignored and/or relaxed - my own preference being Branston - this will open up home-prepared beans rather than commercial only

This leaves the third element - again, lifting from the FEB thread - you don't want to have "double toms" so tomatoes need to, probably, fill the place of shit cakes - there will be, no doubt, some "wacky" or "eccentric" contributor who will feel that tomatoes (in whatever form) warrant a place in core, but . . . NO! ( A380 - see, it's quite easy). This leaves the cross thread favourite of mushrooms as the third core item

From there you've still got plenty to choose from:-

Fried slice
A potato item - bubble, farl, sautéed, shitcake the choice is there
If you must then some form of tomato

Toast naturally
A brew

Elements of customisation or personalization to be marked in accordance with suitability to the breakfast being presented

I'm just chucking this out there as a discussion document nothing set in stone

You are obviously joking to exclude hash browns now TQOTA veggie breakfast list. Top japes!

Single toms yes- rule could be stretched to include red sauce, but that woukd be weird with beans.

Egg’s yes, free range as you say, mushrooms yep.

Beans obvs , but Branston , really?

How about a lesson from our American friends across the pond and add hot/pan cakes with syrup?

And perhaps a continental spin with some cheese- euro cheese off course so sliced Edam or Leerdammer?

A great start.

How about No Rules?

People just judge the breakfast on how it looks and how much it appeals to them.

#freethinkingveggies
 
Well I don’t know where my breakfast would fall under these new rules-is-rules diktat. But while things are being sorted out, here’s my offering.

Please excuse the chipped plate. My cuppa was already on the table with the ironware and folded napkin.

Two fried eggs, broken into very hot oil so the whites go frilly, mushrooms fried in butter with a tocuh of olive oil, the bread element is left-over sourdough pizza bones from last night, fried off in the mushroomy butter. Three salty anchovy fillets, a tablespoon of slightly warmed mash-and-leek from the other night, and a handful of chopped nasturtium and dandelion greens. Fresh pepper over the top.

Breakfast-pudding was another short pizza crust stacked with very hard cold unsalted butter with big dollops of homemade Seville orange marmalade, and another cuppa.

Buttered toast and marmalade or marmite. A cup of coffee with soy milk

Or overnight porridge made with soy milk and sweetened with dried fruits. And a cup of coffee with soy milk.
 
Had a full vegan this morning in a cafe which was pretty nice: vegan sausages, mushrooms, beans, toast, hummus and a grilled tomato. I deveganised it by having halloumi. I've had this before and it always makes me think that hummus and toast is a pretty good breakfast food when it's a nice home made hummus.

Halloumi is great in a breakfast, but should be sliced waffer thin, not in big wodges like it normally is. Then it goes all crispy and mmm.

Was recently trying to explain to someone who had never had halloumi how good halloumi is. I'm not sure they were convinced on crispy and squeaky! :D
