Breakfast

[crossfire]

I'm hot and cold on peanut butter. I get the taste for it and buy it, eat it for a few days, then throw away a half to three quarter full jar a year later.

Throw some in the next curry you make, especially if it is a coconut cream curry.

 

[Father Heathen]

Bacon, eggs, toast with jelly (as in jam, not gelatin), sausage with biscuits (savory scones, not cookies/wafers) and gravy, or waffles with maple syrup and peanut butter.

The eggs are cracked into a skillet, fried on one side until the bottom is firm, then flipped until the other side is white, but the yolk and a bit of the white are still runny.

We also have over medium and over hard, which just means they're cooked longer. Over medium is typically all of the white is fully cooked and just the yolk is runny, and over hard is cooked until nothing is runny..

I've read that. Then read it again....
If I break an egg in to a frying pan and fry it till bottom is firm, then turn it over, I can't see the yolk or white underneath to be able to figure out when it's a bit cooked with runny yolk and white.
If my life depended on this I would be Toast. !!!

It's no good Salix.... I think I'll stick to just poaching an egg.

Now I get it!
So THATs why McDonalds here serve syrup on burgers in the morning.
My Missus actually knew about biscuits being savoury scones. !!

I am still figuring things out. I'm attempting to migrate from eggs to avacados but don't know what I'm doing, yet. Oatmeal has never appealed to me without lots of sugar, so I don't use oatmeal currently. Bread is out. Sugar is mostly out. I'm all confused and can't seem to get variety in my diet. Knowledge is breakfast.

Coffee I got.

Eh? They don't put syrup on burgers here. They don't even serve burgers until breakfast hours are over.

About the same. I bought this jam about a month ago. You can see how much I've eaten...

How do you make seedless jam?

 

[Yerda]

No such thing

Plant sticks, vegetable cylinders, roughage tubes perhaps, definitely not sausages...

I've been veggie for about 20 years now and these one taste very 'sausagey' to me, whereas others are good but nothing like sausage. I'll ask a meaty friend to try them and get the results to you.

How about the oatmeal with a pinch salt in place of sugar.

 

[Subduction Zone]

My favorite breakfast is homemade hash browns from scratch. Two eggs over easy. Some very good quality salsa and multi grain bread for toast.

Today, left over dahl and basmati rice with an egg in it zapped in the microwave.

Do you eat breakfast? If so, what do you typically eat? How soon after waking do you eat?

Coffee I have after my morning meditation, and breakfast I have typically one and a half to two hours after waking up.

What's your breakfast of choice?

Had to drop a meal to stay fighting fit so only coffee for breakfast.

Sometimes we'll have breakfast for dinner. My new thing is cornmeal pancakes with lots of egg white and Greek yogurt in the batter. Pure maple syrup on the cakes.

Sieve

 

[Subduction Zone]

Sieve

Is it even "jam" at that point? It sounds more like jelly to me.

Not on this side of the pond.

Jelly is a completely different thing, i think you guys call it jello

I think confiture fits the bill better than jam

I know, we have raised the making of jams, jelly, and preserves to a higher state here. Jello is just flavored sugar, water, and gelatin. Something one would never put on bread. Jelly is fruit juice, sugar and pectin. Jam is crushed fruit sugar, and pectin, a bit more substantial. Preserves are whole fruit and fruit pieces in their own juices along with sugar and pectin. Marmalade is a citrus preserve with zest from the peelings added.

Dang, now I want some toast!

Steel nails.

Helps with scouring clean me insides.

But...but...but that means you must be Desperate Dan, from The Dandy, who ate porridge with rusty nails in.

So take the crushed fruit, sugar, and pectin and filter out the lumpy bits, voila, seedless jam.

Shhh, he's american, don't tell them what they are missing...

Do you eat breakfast? If so, what do you typically eat? How soon after waking do you eat?

On work days, I'll have some variant of two eggs and toast, whether it's fried on a sandwich with cheese, over easy on top of toast, or French toast. But I recently discovered a south Indian dish I love called pongal, which consists of water, rice, green gram lentil, vegetable oil, clarified butter, salt, cashews, asafoetida, cumin, ginger, and tumeric. I typically eat that on my off days.

Of course, I enjoy my morning coffee as well.

Coffee I have after my morning meditation, and breakfast I have typically one and a half to two hours after waking up.

What's your breakfast of choice?

Now that I am old and no longer rowing, half a grapefruit with a few dried apricots, then either muesli or toast and marmalade and or jam, plus tea. At weekends I indulge in the luxury of fresh orange juice and, on Saturdays, I pop across to the patisserie and get an Oranais (see below) in place of the muesli or toast:

Out of curiosity, do you pronounce apricots with a long 'a' as in ape, or a short 'a' as in apple?
