ANOTHER Poll - What Breakfast?

[Melvil]

Well, just because, you know... with what kind of breakfast (if any) do you guys start the day?

[zimzum42]

[walker]

Porridge made with hot water for me. maybe a little sugar if it's a ride day

 

[Melvil]

"Other".

You have omitted to put the bacon sandwich in your list - your polls are getting sloppy

They are but, like, whatever.

I rule that Bacon sandwich goes under 'English Fry up'!

 

[Melvil]

Where is Kedgeree in the poll?

That goes under 'Kipper' stuff

 

[stevenb]

Lmao.....nice poll.
Well.....some days I have none.....others I eat fruit eg. banana and an apple.

This morning I had Morrisons smooth Peanut Butter on two slices of Warburtons Seeded batch wholemeal bread with margarine and a banana chopped up. Very filling and good for you.

But it's nothing to do with kippers! It's haddock!

Bah!

Also, I had to tick toast and jam, but I usually have two slices of toast, one marmite and one jam...

Was once explaining the breakfast menu to a German couple in the same Scottish B and B as us...

"Vat is Kippers?"
"Er, a sort of salty smoked bony fish..."

"<doubtful sounding> Ah.. Vat is porridge?"
"Er, a sort of hot paste made of oats and milk"

"<doubtful sounding> Ah.. vat is Black pudding?"
"Er.. a sort of sausage made of blood..."

"<happy> Ah! Ve vill hav ze full breakfast!"

When you stop to explain some stuff, you realise how odd it might seem!

you've put a poll of what cyclists have for breakfast and haven't included porridge.
I normally have either porridge, with yoghurt on top of that, with muesli (luxury style) on top of that, OR, a ginsters cornish pasty (disgusting, but nice).

Slightly OT: I once had to explain to a fairly conservative chinese teacher - in mandarin chinese - what spotted dick was and why the name was considered humorous. It was pretty embarassing...

...But not as embarassing as, after the teacher had read a (somerset Maugham, I think) novel and demanded to know what 'latex model of a dick' was...

Anyway, look, Kippers, Haddock, they both swim, breath through gills, get caught and put on a plate; slight coding differences in their DNA notwithstanding they could be brothers and sisters!

I used to be one of those people who didn't bother with breakfast, but I've learned the error of my ways. Now it is a really substantial meal. I go for a fried medium sized egg (I have a special egg pan - so it hardly needs any oil), a thick slice of my own wholemeal bread lightly toasted and about 1/3 of a can of Branston baked beans.

On the occasions where I've used sliced bread from the shops it just doesn't keep me filled up until lunch so I suspect the relatively low GI of my bread is important.

Porridge is good too, but I don't enjoy eating it as much.
