View Full Version : Breakfast - what do you like for breakfast
Do you eat it ? (see poll)
Typically I find that I am not hungry until about 2 hours after I get up. Sometimes sooner. Normally I just wait until lunch time or grab something in the shop around 10am.
I know people say that it's the most important meal of the day and all that deal. But I don't think I have suffered any ill effects in the last year as a direct result of not eating breakfast.
i agree pablo. usually i wake up and i aint hungry. if i do wanna eat something b4 lunch i just wait till the tea break at 10.30 and get something then
lunch is usualy the first meal of the day tho.

If I'm working I always have breakfast, but that just because I follow the herd to the canteen and graze with them.:moo:
If I am home I very, very rarely eat before lunch, I just don't get hungry before then.

I'm gussing the one vote for "everyday/morning" is you Jen?:)
OMG what is WRONG with you people?!!?!?!!
lots of things..........but thats a whole different thread entirely :P
but isnt breakfast the first meal of the day where you "break your fast" so are technically eating it at lunch or whatever. either if it comes to do i eat before leaving the house then it's rarely, if i have time or if i happen to be particularly peckish.
but if you eat at lunchtime when its time for lunch is it still breakfast if your breaking your fast? and is this why the word brunch was invented?
thats exactly what i said Az are you trying to confuse me now! brunch is an excuse for bored housewives and yuppies to go to cafes and eachothers houses between 10-12

does it have to be pizza? and i pity the poor bastard that has to roll it....
pizza: the only food group.
sides it works out rather well. 24" means 1 for ever hour in the day

Well, yeah, but...meh...
Cold pizza is a great breakfast.
I'm just not a fan of the old Cornflakes and milk (or in my case apple juice) every day. Maybe it's the fact that I used to eat it for the first 20 years of my life every day.

I have waffles every school morning but any other morning i'm just not hungry until i've woken up properly which generally takes a few hours.

if i had the time the time i'd have cereal and toast every morning but i'm always running late for work so just have a few minutes to spare, usually grab a glass of orange juice down it in one go and take a handful of grapes and an apple or banana with me that i eat on the way to work.
and when i'm not workin i get up around 11 so i just skip breatfast and have lunch which as ye were sayin is tecnically breakfast in a way.

Hi folks. I like 'pain au chocolat' (and no, it doesn't hurt) for my brekkie, a cuppa tay, and some pineapple juice. :rolleyes:

I could never stomach an Irish breakfast, unless it was for dinner. Way too much!
If I'm really hungry and it's special, maybe on holiday, I like French Toast.
irish brekkie is savage any time of day, especially when you get potatoe farls in it!
grrr. angry stephen doesn't work without breakfast, even only if in coffee form. he also talks in the third person
got lovely breakfast in spain the other day, bocadillo de tortilla de patatas (sandwich filled with a spud ommelleettte) and café con leche (half espresso half barlely warm milk) easy to skull back
due to my mums constant nagging i am now eating breakfast every day. i've got through two days so far :D
Breakfast rocks. It's the best meal there is. Note to anybody living on their own: Special K is really expensive!
all cereals are ad yes its amazing how u start looking at price of things when u move out of home

Porridge isn't expensive! And it slowly releases energy throughout the morning thereby setting you up for the day. The only problem is that it tastes like crap...but that can be disguised if you're clever!

i just ate my first sausage in CIT!+

Does that little '+' mean 'Please God don't let me die for eating that sausage'?
New coffee in the CIT canteen. Seems ok, almost pleasant, although maybe it only tasted good because it was free today!

something like this is great if you can get your paws on it, and some hot water. Just put the coffee in the bottom, bring your cup to college, find hot water, pour, wait, plunge and enjoy !
or the standard thermos flask, the coffee isnt AS fresh but its fresher than the canteen stuff.
They were givin it out free coz they changed their suppliers but it doesnt taste much better tbh

My Dad has had one of those things for ages, Pabs. They're wicked!!
And they're easy to clean too! :shock:
yuck i hate coffee! do they make ones for tea? I suppose you could replace the coffee with tea leaves instead...
they call them tea bags...

Some people prefer tea leaves to tea bags actually coz it tastes different so tea leaves are not called tea bags. They're called tea leaves!

Anyone ever accidently swallow the tea leaves from the bottom of a cup of "proper" tea (i.e. made with tea leaves, not tea bags, according to my nan)? Tastes yukky beyond belief...ruins a perfectly good cuppa. The moral of this story is...I prefer tea bags :)

Yeh. It's like biting on a piece of eggshell. Repulses me...

Oooohhh...ever bitten tinfoil? It's the most awful thing ever! Causes a shudder to run up my spine just thinking bout it :(

speaking of tin foil dont put it in the microwave. did it with a breakfast roll once on one lazy sunday morning.
tea leaves would equate to the coffee grounds inthe cup jason wants, so the tea bag itself would equate to the filter. thank you

Tin foil acts as a sheild against the micro waves reflecting it away, and the energy in the microwaves causes sparking on the tinfoil. Or any other metal put into the microwave, even that little gold decorative rim on cups and plates.

I thought EVERYONE knew about not putting metal objects or foil in the microwave?! Seriously scary if they don't!
Now whole raw eggs in the microwave is fun! They go BOOM!!! I saw some film sometime where two guys spent 20 minutes or something blowing up eggs in a microwave but I can't remember what the film was called...
it is possible to boil eggs in a microwave, you get these little plasticy cups for it.
peas also go pop a lot in a microwave
Jack B. Badd
06-10-2005, 21:38
And beans! But they don't go BOOM, more like POPPOPPOP...POP......POPPOP! Like a machine gun.
You know those cereal bars.... well do you think they are considered a breakfast ? Ok, I am eating it at 4pm (special K bar with chocolate), but tomorrow I will try to have breakfast and eat it a little earlier.

Em, my current breakfast is pancakes with icecream and banana and chocolate syrup.
Is that bad?!
won't you get sick of eating everyday jen?;)
and no, pablo, that doesnt count as a proper breakfast.
Breakfast here sucks :(. Weetabix with skimmed milk. Yum. I have to eat it though to give me energy for my 3 mile walk in the mornings.
weetabix! my cat likes weetabix!
eugh, my cat used to love weetabix too!

Nah, I've moved onto French Toast and Scrambled Eggs, and it costs 1 pound 50 for the lot. if I get a milkshake, it's an extra quid. Life is good :D
euck! I hate french toast, even the thought of it makes me feel sick!
Just sitting at my PC and wondering what people eat for breakfast again.
Todays mismatch of food.
2 day old slice of pizza (was in the fridge) 2 yogurts
a dose of coffee (next and final stage)
I do have bread/cheese/ham at home, just it appears I am too lazy to throw something together. :square:
I think eating breakfast for a whole week will be this year's challenge. Last year my challenge was to get into work for a whole week before 9am (I only did this 3 times or so), let's see how the breakfast challenge goes.
i had a milky bar (at least i think that's what they are called) for brekkie this morn. yum.
.... just remembered i had a small piece left:D

Sainsbo's own brand (but REALLY amazing) Fruit and Nut Fibre thing.
It's well yummy, except the person who makes it who isn't me keeps putting three litres of milk in one bowl. :(
mmm cold pizzia nothing like it, but is bloody lovely microwaved.
eggs are great but am a bit worried about this chicken flu..... think my flat mates contracted it they're quacking
speaking of bird flu....

hahaha!!!
i had crumpets and peanut butter this morning...yum..first time ive had breakfast in ages

Used to eat those rice cake thingies with peanut butter on 'em for brekkie but after a while the roof of your mouth goes all yucky and it says like that for the whole day...:(
Bit off topic but I was watching CSI the other night and there was a guy who was on death row and ordered a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as his last meal. He was allergic to peanuts and the guards didn't know and he died. Seems a bit of an extreme way to beat the system!
In my flat we have the great peanut debate......
smooth V chrunchy
imported from usa V domestic
Skippy V Jiff
Organic V Sun Pat
it grat fun all these tasting sessions
results are organic is only fit to repair walls, own brand like asda sintburies are crap but geniuine imported stuff is class!

Had organic Cashew nut butter for a while. Much heavier than peanut butter but lovely jubly. Think its more useful for cooking than anything else.
Was very tempted to attack the left-over special fried rice this morning but resisted. Had loverly marmite and toast instead :)
picture the scene, your head feels like some one used if for a rugby ball, its rainning out, you only got frozen chicken, tomato tins and poptatoes,,,,,, what do you do?
but neighbours food looks good <mmmmm!..
i'll steal there's
i rarely eat brekkie
Sometimes my mammy makes me a packed lunch for college (how sad is that) *cringe*
But i usually scoff that down on my way to college
Or else grab soem choccie on the way
By skipping brekkie i get an extra 10 minutes in bed so thats kinda great!!!
Jack B. Badd

Choccie not so good for brekkie. Sugar high and then crash puts you in a bad mood for the day.
chocolate is ALWAYS ALWAYS GOOD!!!!!! peanut butter and choc sperad toast is so so nice!!!
hmm to solve that problem i just eat it all day
Me..... bad moods....... never
Im the happiest person I know
