More for the ‘never-ending learning curve’. I had to look that one up and found it to be a muesli, it looks quite tasty. Better still there are various recipes too, that might make a change from my daily porridge:

There is nothing finer than a full English, but we only ever have one if we are away in a hotel or B&B. As a rule I have a half tin of grapefruit in juice, followed by two scrambled eggs on a slice of wholemeal toast, followed then by another slice of toast with marmalade. Occasionally I will have muesli instead of the scrambled eggs, and on holiday I will have a couple of rashers of bacon as well.

That bacon looks to be just the way I like it cooked TBH.

When I was young a cigarette and a coffee but I discovered a Little Chef and they did pancakes,maple syrup and ice cream.No healthy fruit like yours though.

Thank you Minx
I have my own indulgences but they weren’t ( arent ) cigarettes. 
Pancakes drowning in maple syrup would be my husband personal choice while I prefer a bit of fresh butter or whipped provolone cheese and heated berries. Quite often I put the berries inside the pancakes. That’s delicious too and around here there are so many fresh berries to choose from.

Thanks for looking up those bircher recipes. They look so good. I bookmarked them.
Thank you to LionQueen for mentioning them. A new thing to look into.

When I eventually get round to it, sometimes it’s about 11.30 - 12pm, so I s’pose it’s more ‘brunch’ than brekkie - it’s porridge made with soya milk, as many frozen blueberries as I can cram in, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Yum.

Oh yummm. I didn’t see your write up so looked up Dutch baby pancakes and as soon as I saw them I thought they look like Yorkshire puddings with berries and I love Yorkshire’ puddings.

I have to differ…
Those aren’t really pancakes, they are pikelets. Maccas seems to have persuaded the rest of the world to call them pancakes but pancakes are the size of the frying pan much thinner and need tossing before being flavoured (my favourite is lemon juice and sugar) and rolled up.

My parents would agree with you. This is how we had them as kids. Exactly like that. Splashed with lemon juice and sprinkled with sugar and then rolled up. Raised in England we ate a lot of similar foods as many of you but once I got on my own, I Canadianized the pancakes being the rebel that I am. I fell in love with light fluffy pancakes. It became more of a dessert however I never fancied smothering them with maple syrup My father would have his with black strap molasses. Anyway I can make some wickedly delicious pancakes

Pikelets?
No. Fluffy pancakes. 
Those are called crepes.
I forgot to mention, so I’m glad Bruce reminded me, that the Dutch baby pancakes were dusted with confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar) and topped with lemon juice. I smothered it in sugar/lemon when I was young.
Only if you are French.
