What are you having for breakfast?

[farmerbarleymow]

Fish pie and half a melon.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Pack of cherry jaffa cakes. Bit sickly.

it's not even tomorrow yet

it's not even tomorrow yet

It is for me - slept for a good few hours earlier, it's morning now.

 

[newme]

As usual, a handful of pills, a syringe of oral drugs and a vape plus water.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Four ounces of mixed nuts.

 

[rubbershoes]

Porridge with blackberries and ibuprofen

 

[furluxor]

A blend of water, oats, flaxseed, peanut butter, banana, parsley, cauliflower leaves and lime.

Weirdly, it tasted great. My partner makes fun of me for keeping cauliflower leaves but now I know what to do with them.

 

[existentialist]

Fake sausage, mash, fried egg.

Oh cauli leaves - waste not want not, good on you for using them - you can use them like cabbage too - shred them and steam or fry as a vegetable side dish, salt/oil and roast them whole (for 10-15 mins depending upon how done you want them), or make coleslaw with them.

Other ones that are good but often discarded are radish and turnip tops - they have a slightly peppery or mustardy flavour and are nice raw in salads, stir fried, turned into pesto, soup, or used in similar ways to spinach.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Half a dozen boiled eggs.

Thanks for taking the time to write all this out - very useful! There's this..ahem, resistance to using such things in my household, but I'm sure it can be overcome with some empirical evidence that this stuff tastes great.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Five clementimes. Four rhubarb yogurts.

 

[RubyToogood]

Fry-up. Richmond veggie sausages, a big mushroom, cherry tomatoes, a couple of slices of overgrown courgette and the last bit of sourdough.

Courgette works well fried and doesn't feel out of place. I'm always looking for ways to include more fruit and veg in breakfasts, the temptation is just to eat carbs for me.

 

[fucthest8]

Passion fruit and pistachio cake

 

[fucthest8]

Then a fry up much like RubyToogood
No courgette though we already ate them. And yes, fried is best

 

[rubbershoes]

Porridge with blackberries and ibuprofen

Same, but I changed the recipe by using pumpkin seeds in place of ibuprofen

 

[Numbers]

Hash brown and onion ring wrap.

 

[existentialist]

Fake sausage, mash, fried egg.

I nearly went for some baked beans, too, as it's Sunday. But then I forgot.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Bananas

 

[existentialist]

Fried egg, fake sausage, mash.

 

[May Kasahara]

Fruit, yoghurt, granola, seeds.

furluxor I love roast cauliflower leaves. Oil, salt, pepper and a sprinkling of chilli flakes (if you like that sort of thing) - simple yet ridiculously delicious.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Egg butties - half a dozen boiled eggs mashed up with loads of butter and black pepper.

No mayo ? Grated parmesan ?

Nope. Never use parmesan, and loathe mayo with a passion. It did have about two ounces of butter tbf so was lardy enough.
