What are you having for breakfast?

[polly]

Overnight oats made with apple juice, vanilla kefir, oat milk, chia seeds and banana. Added cinnamon and walnuts this morning. Feeling well virtuous. My husband otoh is hungover and went a shade of pale green when I shoved it under his nose.

 

[sojourner]

Wholemeal toast with butter, Tartex and cucumber. Bloody love Tartex but always forget it exists until I go to the health food shop. Everyone else in my house passionately hates it which increases its value to me.

Never even heard of Tartex! Looks like it's ultra processed though, which gets a big thumbs down from me.

Overnight oats made with cow milk, vanilla Skyr, strawbs, maple syrup and walnuts.

Oh yeah, I don't doubt it is! But then so are wholemeal bread and oat milk. I think it's ok as long as you're not mainlining shite. But that's me

Aye, there are differing levels of processing. I make my own bread and now have cow milk, so I just try to cut it out as much as poss. I have cordial every day, that's a UPF too. There's pretty much no way to completely avoid it.

Yeah exactly - iirc the WHO said it was wrong to assume all ultra processed foods are bad, we just shouldn't be eating quite so many of them I think in the US in particular a lot of people never eat anything fresh. I suspect they have enormous food deserts there, and obviously it's an issue of income everywhere, too.

 

[Siouxsie]

Porridge with raspberries and hazelnuts, drizzled with clover honey....beautiful!
Large glass of pineapple juice

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Cheese and pickled onion butties.

Tomato & mozzarella pasta. With added chilli flakes to liven it up a bit.

Fried eggs on toast for me, the same but with avocado for her. I'm contemplating beans.

And more coffee.

 

[polly]

Yesterday treacle fruit bread toasted with cheddar on top. Today banana overnight oats with honey.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Just for a change... black coffee.

2 southern fried chicken pieces and very spicy noodles at 630 am had a small shite since.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Fish pie.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I randomly picked up a bag of seeds in Aldi to add to my breakfast oaty cake things - perhaps to celebrate having a broken tooth repaired yesterday ..
The dentist told me off for skimping on brushing and potentially upsetting my gums ... perhaps I should add some actual grit...

 

[Oriole]

Avocado toast

 

[farmerbarleymow]

A dozen macarons* and two cheese & onion sausage rolls.

* two each of vanilla, salted caramel, pistachio, chocolate, raspberry and lemon.

Paul Nowak will be furious, that must be the year’s supply.

 

[sojourner]

Overnight oats - cow milk, Skyr, blueberries, hemp/pumpkin/sunflower seeds, golden linseeds, walnuts, maple syrup.

 

[gentlegreen]

I weighed and ground the correct amount of coffee this morning but I swear I still feel wired from yesterday's poisoning...

My partner's gone down the fermenting rabbit hole (what a jolly combination of words) so my breakfast is yoghurt with lacto-fermented blueberries and honey. I didn't like the blueberries much at first - very salty and boozy tasting, no actual blueberry flavour left. However now that he fermented them longer, they hooked me in and I crave them at various points in the day. The acidity is just right but I soak them for 10-15min to reduce the saltiness.

There's a really addictive tang to fermented foods, they taste like nothing else. Not sure why he didn't just go for the kefir though, rather than fermenting the fruit?

Fermented foods are also some of the best stuff you can put in your body

My sister gifted us a Noma book on fermentation, so he's keen to try out all those weird haute cuisine combinations. Some work for my tastes, some don't, but it's all highly experimental at this stage. I hope this will eventually result in a solid rotation of favourites. Kefir would be a good one to try, I'll mention it to him.
