 Posted: Sun Jun 20, 2010 11:53 am Post subject: My Perfect Weekend Breakfast |
 |
|
After years of all kinds of combinations, I've found the perfect quantity of food for me. I'm a cereal man through the week, but like a bit more on a weekend when I have time to sit and enjoy it. Never been one for those big fry ups, but this seems to be a winner for me.
4 rashers crispy bacon
2 fried eggs done on both sides
Plenty of black pepper
2 slices of toast
1 cup of tea
1 cup of fresh orange (not from concentrate)
*clears plate*
What does the job for you lot? |

Same as Dock but in half the quantity!
I do miss having fried bread. Just can't be arsed cooking it now. Probably enough cholesterol to kill you. A few mushrooms are nice as well.
Not keen on kippers. Make the house smell like Grimsby.

You've whisked me back exactly 25 years, Mr Life, to June 1983. (Though replace the coffee for tea).
As a special treat, I occasionally added a Kit Kat and a bag of Walkers' C&O if I had needed to top up the main dietary supplies at the newsagents pre-breakfast. |

I dont do fry ups at home as I cant stand all the washing up and end up leaving food to waste in the fridge.
I'll go the greasy spoon round the corner. Dock'll know Doms Diner which is okay if a little rank - then theres a couple of decent ones in Rawdon and Guiseley. When i lived in London town i would often stumble down from my bedsit in West Hampstead and have 5 or 6 decent cafes to buy delicious but overpriced brekkie from

It seems I am alone in championing the fish-based breakfast option.

I had a kipper yesterday. I don't have them often enough. I asked Lady O whether they did a filleted version, but she didn't think so.
Marvellous taste. A tragedy that they are rather hard work on the bone front.
Which reminds me of a couple of the greatest piscine, but most grossly undervalued, delicacies that I have enjoyed...
Freshly caught and almost immediately cooked herring and mackerel... |

Mackerel straight out of the sea and cooked in sea water PM, absolutely divine!

I think only bettered by the taste of herring.... which is marginally spoiled by all those ruddy bones. |
