What is your favourite breakfast…mine has got to be a full English on weekends…the complete works
I used to eat a little porridge.
I haven’t eaten breakfast in a long time!.
I could never eat a full English breakfast, wishbone…my dad used to love his full English breakfast.
I don’t have a favourite but breakfast is usually based on oats, like this one:
My preference is pretty mundane, I like cereal best of all for breakfast.
Weetbix all year round, Porridge and Shredded Wheat in winter.
Even in Asia where breakfast is included in the room cost I tend to stick to cereal though I occasionally lash out with a couple of pieces of toast and some yogurt or fruit juice. My friends laugh at me as they gorge themselves on cooked food in the form of a buffet.
Ooh, mine too, I’m even a member of a Full English appreciation group
But there is a lot of debate over what makes a full English, hash browns are very controversial !
That looks so nice, I wish I liked porridge, it’s good for you, but bleugh! I think it’s the texture and that it doesn’t taste of much.
Sadly nowadays there’s a huge difference between what my favourites are and what I can tolerate eating.
I adore kippers followed by a full cooked breakfast for example, and that was the usual whenever on holiday or on overnight visits.
Now I can barely cope with a bit of cereal and milk and a yoghurt and can’t even tolerate toast.
Weekdays - scrambled, poached or hard boiled eggs with toast.
Weekends - no contest - a full Irish!
I haven’t eaten a proper breakfast for years. I just grab a coffee & a cereal bar.
Traditionally - a full Irish is bacon, sausage, egg, fresh tomato, saute potatoes, black pudding, white pudding, and mushrooms - served with soda farls, lashings of butter and pots of tea!
None of the american influence that has crept into the English version such as hash browns, baked beans and coffee. Not saying they are not nice - just not Irish!
I haven’t eaten this in many years but an old favorite used to be a Dutch Baby pancake with a side of hash browns.
@wishbone - finding the white pudding in UK can be difficult - but Sainsbury’s have it now and then - so I stock up and freeze it!
The one thing I can’t stand with my breakfast is black pudding…yuck
If you’re near a Morrisons & especially the bigger ones, they sometimes have Irish white pudding.
Now I used to love Scottish black pudding, but not the English one because that’s always full of lumps of fat whereas Scottish isn’t.
Love a full English, but hold the b/pudding and mushrooms. I love baked beans and hash, and fried bread.
Or, simply Tesco’s cereal, or whole meal toast.
I bought Tescos Wheat Biscuits from Tescos in Malaysia, they were the worst cereal I had ever tasted not even close to the deliciousness of Weetbix. To add insult to injury Weetbix was only a couple of Ringgit more.
