What are you having for breakfast?

[Idaho]

Blueberries, flax seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds, pecans and Greek yoghurt. The same every day for years. I always wait until I'm hungry to have it (late morning), and it's always a joy

 

[Voley]

Porridge with banana and pear added. 2 big mugs of coffee.

 

[sojourner]

Overnight oats made with oat milk, couple of dollops of Skyr, local honey, raspberries, sunflower seeds and walnuts.

 

[Saul Goodman]

Jam doughnuts and coffee.

Jam doughnuts have to be the cheap and cheerful ones like from Greggs. They're terrible nutrition wise but I buy a pack now and again.

I had ginger porridge.

Lemon and chocolate porridge is nice. Good cocoa and lemon zest/juice. Grate a whole nutmeg in if you want extra flavour.

How do you make this? I love ginger and it seems like a great thing to have first thing.

I literally just told my older kid about a schoolfriend of mine who once went out with a boy who worked in a bakery and he would make her her very own custom made jam doughnuts, which were so full of jam they were on the point of imploding <3 That has always been the most romantic thing ever for me.

Anyway I had a banana and some blueberries for breakfast as I was at work.

I get some stem ginger and syrup from a jar, chop it up and mix it into porridge. Serve with almond milk. I love it.

I addition to Danny's suggestion, you could also replace some or all of the water* with those ginger shot drinks you can buy. You can large bottles of it online but sadly it's not cheap. But it would make it very gingery.

I might give this a go one day and report back.

* not sure what adding lids of ginger would do if you use milk. Ginger milk sounds like it'd be odd.

I imagined raw ginger for some reason. It didn't seem nearly as appealing as sweet gooey ginger

I use jarred stem ginger in savoury cooking too. Is that wrong?

So when you make a curry, you use garlic and candied ginger?

No. I use root ginger for that. But I’d consider it.

I last used it with walnuts, sage butter and Camembert in pastry parcels.

I love those too but might be a bit much! Also yes, pricey as fuck

 

[farmerbarleymow]

You could roughly crush up some ginger snaps to add them - or ginger dark chocolate biscuits. May as well go the whole hog.

Simply peel back the wrapping on a mcvities Jamaican ginger cake and chomp away. The perfect breakfast on the go.

That kept me going during a 12 hour track race, very easy to eat while running

Hotel buffet breakfast and trying to not need lunch due to being on the move a bit

Purloined a banana for later on and might see if I can grab a takeaway thimble of coffee for my journey

I bet a spoon of honey in that would go down really well too. Might try that.

 

[nottsgirl]

Yoghurt and berries. I want eggs but yet again don’t have any. Or porridge but I don’t have anything good to put with it.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Seeded sourdough and boursin.
