Cooked Quaker oatmeal with cinnamon and applesauce about 3x per week, yogurt and strawberries 2x per week. On weekends coffee and nothing to eat until lunch time. That’s how I have breakfast. For some reason I can’t eat fatty breakfast meats or have butter first thing in the morning. It makes me nauseous. Later in the day is fine, I just can’t eat it earlier. On Saturdays I survey the flower garden with my coffee in hand and before I know it, I’m weeding and cleaning things up outside. Sunday mornings I sleep as late as I can without being late for church, so usually just a cup of coffee is all I get before I’m racing to church.
And yes, the traditional English breakfast turns my stomach. I’d hate to have to be in the same building with someone who eats that stuff first thing in the day.
I actually eat a ‘fry up’ rarely, I eat cereal usually.
But I love, as most people do here, a full English/Scottish/Ulster/Welsh breakfast.
Egg, sausages, bacon, fried bread, baked beans, tomatoes, black pudding, white pudding, oatmeal, fruit pudding, mushrooms, maybe a tattie scone. All washed down by a big mug of tea. With some toast with butter and jam on the side.
Delicious.
And its healthy, as the full breakfast slowly gives off energy needed throughout the day, hence the old saying: ‘Breakfast like a king, dinner like a pauper’.
