Bowl of Boston Baked Beans, 2 Waffles, big glass of milk.

Had it this mornin' and it was amazing.

Today I made a dagwood for breakfast.

Two toasted slices of thick, sweet, home-baked soda bread with mayo encompassing four strips of turkey bacon, a sliced plum tomato, two leaves of Boston lettuce, several ounces of turkey breast, and a couple strips of sweet red bell pepper. It was about four inches tall. ;D

That's what she said!

Sorry... couldn't resist

I try to go with a low sugar /high in fiber cereal (Life, Quaker oatmeal squares). I also eat egg whites and turkey sausage. If I have little time in the morning, it's a toasted whole wheat bagel with real jam.

4 blocks of wheatabix mushed up in milk, and some sugar poured on top.

Rarely ever find time for breakfast, Muesli when I do.

I usually have dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner. I guess that means I've been working graveyard shift far to long.

I'm genuinely curious.

Usually Yorkshire Tea:


It's not posh, but I like it.

Thats jolly good stuff.

I keep a supply of Green Tea, Jasmine Tea, Earl Grey and Darjeeling, however as flavoured teas they aren't really for casual use. Sometimes I like a good clear tea with a nautral tea flavour. Yorkshire does the job but I buy this:



Tetley is a good brand, yet for some reason you can get it in Poundland and other Poundsaver and other cheap shops. Which is odd because the only teas of comperable price are supermarket white label teas that taste like bags of sawdust.

Breakfast sandwhich made with Bacon, Taylor Ham, and Sunnyside-up Eggs all cooked by my uncle (He knows how to make his bacon )

toast; muffins; cereal; juice; milk; milkshake; leftovers; muesli with yogurt; fresh eggs on toast; cheese on toast; toasted cheese sandvich; scrambled eggs; bacon sandwich; bacon and egg sandwich.

one or two of those options above for me everyday... but on weekends... baked beans, bacon, sausages, home made toasted bread, scrambled eggs, cooked tomato and salt pepper with a drink of coffee.

Strict See-Food diet; I see food, I eat food.

I'd be willing to bet it comes from India, China, Nepal, Sri Lanka, places like that


Normally I'll have a bowl of Fruit & Fibre. When I get the chance though, a full English is where it's at

Irish Breakfast tea is the name of a blend. I would imagine while the tea leaves do come from the sub continent yes. But the blend of tea comes from Ireland.

A quick chew of yesterdays sock normally fills me up enough until I can get to work and have my first coffee of the day.

Sundays are normally a more sedate affair so I try to have a hot breakfast - a freshly removed sock to chew.

I know - same deal as Yorkshire tea.

This morning,as is habit every Sunday,I prepared a giant breakfast for the family,the menu included..
Pancakes
Bacon
Sausages
Scrambled eggs
Orange juice and Coffee.

I'm as full as a tick now,but quite happy.

On weekdays before school i would do a sandwich, ANY type of sandwich. Except brocolli, i have that for lunch or dinner. I have a cup of any juice in my fridge.

On weekends its probably some delivery service, such as macdonalds, if not it would be noodles, half boiled eggs, porridge or some dim sum.

I reckon what i eat is very different from what you guys in europe or the US eat.

Yorkshire tends to be stronger.

Me, I dunno. I press 38, Strong, and out pops a cuppa. Got to love the free drinks at work.

What I mean is, a large amount of food is imported from the UK, or so I'm led to believe.

I'm into Frosties. No matter how little sleep you've had, stick a boll of those down your gulliver and your set for the next few hours-its like wanting to just for asleep where you are, but not being able. Pitty that someone else always seems to have managed to eat them all whenever I go to have some, so I end up trapsing through existence in a permanent state of drowsiness. ¬¬

Usually...



...plus...



I don't like cooking in the morning.

That's a good thing? It reminds me of a come down after taking ecstasy.

Frosties from Wendys?

Pretty sure he means:

Doh. I never eat those so I forgot about them. Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Golden Grahams ftw!

Blood and flesh of the living.
And bacon.
And a sh*tlode of egg yokes.

I wonder if they have it over here so's I can try it.

I get mine from Wegmans, not the cheapest tea over here (you can pick up tetley tea bags from walmart) but Yorkshire Tea is my favourite also (and they do a nice tea cake as well, haven't been able to source that here yet).

I am currently enjoying a shredded wheat cereal with cinnamon in it, you can't get decent sausages or bacon in the United States for blood or money so I gave up on the dream of a full English and will just have to enjoy one on my trips back to blighty.

I have to say this makes for pretty depressing reading. Are you all really such health freaks/food snobs? Now i am an excellent chef but my cooking is cost/utility ratio first flavour second, some of these breakfast menus seem to have no semblance of economy to them....

You can get them. You just might have to look a little harder.

For bacon look for thick cut, or canadian bacon, depending on exactly what you're looking for. You might need to visit an actual butcher shop depending on the quality of your local supermarket/s. Pretty much every supermarket has imported/ethnic foods sections, but exactly what countries/cultures are represented and what variety of items you can get depends on the quality and size of the store. Whole Foods or organic foods stores also often have better and a wider variety of meats available, though they tend to be a bit pricier. English-style sausages are available here too. Again, might need to visit a butcher or a specialty shop.

Many cities here also have European markets which import delicacies and specialty items. My city (Manchester, NH) is only ~100k people and I can think of at least three European markets where I can get specialty cheeses, meats, candy, etc. And we've also got asian markets, middle-eastern markets, and more central/south American markets than I can count. Your new bride might not know off the top of her head where to easily find what you want, but it's almost certainly available if you look.
