What do you like for breakfast ??? Every day or on 'special' days ??? Mostly I eat Multi Grain Chex. If theres leftover (homemade) pizza I might eat that... Out I like to eat pancakes or waffles. NO SYRUP ( I hate syrup). Eggs, hashbrowns. When my husband worked at night (in the AF) in Vegas, we'd eat all kinds of things, like DINNER at 5 am...Carlos Murphys fajitas that early in the morning were fabulous. I quit drinking coffee many yrs ago....so it's eather grapefruit juice or water. (maybe decaf tea if they have any)... Chrys

As a rule, I try to have oatmeal during the week. On the weekends, I usually splurge and have one of the following: Pancakes & bacon, Fried potatoes & onions (homemade), an egg/cheese thing I heat up in a saucepan and spread on toast, or maybe scrambled egg and chili on a corn tortilla. Yum! I'm getting hungry.... Judy Judy Sall Originals

I usually eat a bagel--multi-grain or whole grain. I'm a little weird because I'm not a coffee drinker, but I need that jolt of caffeine in the morning so I drink iced tea. Yep--iced tea in the morning year round. I guess that comes from my southern roots, huh?  Either that or I'm just plain weird!

Cereal (Weetabix or something with a good 6gm of fibre in minimum) and tea. On Saturaday we have a tradition of having a cooked breakfast. Today for example it was fried or poached egg on toast, grilled bacon,fried mushrooms and tinned tomatoes with Orange juice, followed by coffee and toast and home made marmalade. There may well also be bubble and squeak, saute potatoes, sausages or liver sausage depending on what is in the fridge. Occasionally we have croissants and coffee for a change. We always did this when the girls were home as we found that the smell of bacon up the stairs was a sure fire way of getting teenagers out of bed on a Saturday morning. Bubble and squeak - mashed potatoes mixed up with left over chopped up cabbage or brussel sprouts. This is then fried in oil until it is golden - you don't make it into a 'cake' like a hash brown but turn the outsides in every now and then. It is a sort of amorphous lump and makes squeaky noises and bubbles while it cooks - hence the name. love and kisses, Jan

I think my favorite of all meals is fried potatoes and eggs with some sort of meat on the side -- ham, bacon, leftovers. The meat doesn't matter really, I just love fried potatoes with eggs over easy. But neither potatoes or eggs are very good for me every day so it's usually cereal. But when I want to treat myself -- yup -- eggs and potatoes. Dorothy |

Daily for breakfast I'll have a bowl of bran with raisins (not rasin bran because the raisins are too hard and sweet) and a banana. On weekends if DH is cooking I love grits with butter and an over easy egg on top. Yum. Sometimes we'll have bacon or ham with it. Chrys, I'm with you. Pizza is best for breakfast. Has to be warm though. DS use to eat it cold. Not a coffee drinker here either but have to have a caffeine rush and will have unsweet ice tea or a Coke. Brockie

Jan, When I grew up grit was something we fed to our racing pigeons (it was broken rocks and shells and the like). It was supposed to help them grind the corn they ate. Imagine my suprise when I moved to Florida and they were serving it in restaurants.  Turns out it is ground up corn. I still to this day have not tried it.For breakfast I like Cheerios with raisins and skim milk and a cup of coffee or I have Oatmeal with raisins. On the weekends I like to cook. French toast, Pancakes, Waffles, Doughnuts, Eggs cooked to order with toast. I pretty much cook what the majority asks for. Gina

When my youngest daughter was two or three I made grits. She loved them. Ate about three helpings then asked "What kind of guts are these?" We all laughed so hard. She didn't care what they are -- she just liked them. Jan -- it's a southern thing. I'll bet Susie can tell you about them. Dorothy |

I usually buy my breakfast when I go into work and it consists of a large coffee and a toasted whole wheat bagel - no butter or anything on it. On the weekends that I am at home it is coffee and a toasted bagel with ultra low fat cream cheese and a little bit of jam or jelly. My favourite on a bagel is horseradish jelly or red pepper basil jelly. But if I am going out anywhere for breakfast then my special treat is hash brown potatoes, eggs and Canadian bacon or French Toast with good old real maple syrup. Ummm ummm. Getting hungry thinking of this...guess I'll go have a refill

My Dad used to eat guts - chitterlins'. Personally I thought the smell was disgusting - but not as foul as the sight of him having pigs brains on toast for breakfast. The brains bubble and pop under the grill and the stench is incredible. Susie has tried to explain grits to me before - just seems alien to me. Mind you, I like marmalade on my poached eggs so the weird-o-meter isn't quite banging at the end of the dial at the idea of somebody putting syrup on a fried egg. Seems Very Strange here to mix sweet and savory in that way. love and kisses, Jan

Susie has tried to explain grits to me before - just seems alien to me. Magot, do you know what hominy is? According to the dictionary, it's coarsly ground corn kernels, usually boiled. Grits is considered a cereal grain, and can be boiled, fried, baked, etc. I have an old cookbook that belonged to my step-mom (published in 1941!) that has several ways to prepare grits. I have only had them once, and they were fried... not bad! But not something I would go out of my way for. My Step-mom loved fried hominy (the whole kernel variety comes in cans)... I hated it! But then, she liked most things fried..... Judy Sall Originals

| When we moved south I was appalled that they put grits on your plate even if you asked them not to. I refer to them as wallpaper paste! I have tried a tiny bit but I think they're terrible. I love a good breakfast from Bob Evans on Sunday but everyday at home we have pretty much the same thing. Two slices of bacon and a bowl of oatmeal with walnuts. I never liked oatmeal growing up but lately have been eating it because it's good for me! It cancels out the bacon! Do you see the logic I'm going with??? LOL We do eat eggs also but at the moment I'm into oatmeal. I have every problem known to man so I just try to eat sensibly but I don't cut anything out. Something's going to kill me in the end! Can't get out of here alive! |

Generally I eat Special K & Strawberries for breakfast. A couple days a week I'll make breakfast, usually eggs, a meat (bacon, sausage), with a bread item like french toast - waffles - pancakes. Or sometimes it is biscuits & gravy. And if it is just for dh & me - we love grits! Of course sometimes it is breakfast served for dinner at our house during the week! And I just may make same hash brown patties or fried potatoes too! We have our own chickens, so sometimes we need to use up those eggs - Quiche is another one we make!

My turn - http://hebridestoyou1.sitekit.net/Stornoway_Black_Pudding.html gives you a picture of black pudding Donna. It is a dark sausage that you slice and fry - probably called black because the skin is black and the pudding itself is very dark - I believe do to the high blood content of the pudding. Definately NOT kosher.

Thanks, Jan.  We used to have it from time to time when I was a child, but we always called it blood pudding...I haven't seen it in almost 30 years! I figured it just wasn't made anymore. The only other person that I heard refer to it as black pudding is my husband, who is Guyanese. I wondered if vickki was talking about the same thing... 
Take care,

My favorite breakfast is Eggs over light, grits, country ham, red eye gravy , and biscuits w/ butter. Coffee, of course.. I am a coffee-holic.. Of course, I don't eat that now, but it is my favorite.. Nowadays , I eat Oatmeal, usually with a little fruit in it.. I do love oatmeal, now that I don't have a parent forcing me to pour milk on it.. (like when I was a child).. Summer time I usually eat cheerios or raisen bran or Special K.

My favorite is Poached eggs on milk toast. I only make it for myself when no one else is home because they won't touch it. My next favoriye is french toast with powdered sugar on top. Today we had croissants with eggson them.

I'm not much of a breakfast eater, coffee - 2 cups first thing in the morning (or afternoon depending on what shift I'm on) then about 3-4 hours later I get hungry and it'll be whatever I can find in the fridge, cold pizza, muffin, bagel, fruit. If I'm on graveyard shift DH is looking for supper before I'm awake enough or hungry enough to even want to cook, but that is usually a breakfast, like bacon/eggs, pancakes, tortillas. I know, we have horrible eating habits at our house, it makes me sick thinking about it. I just can't get into a routine with shift work, I feel for my poor man, he lives on popcorn I think!

I like to have a good breakfast, then I usually don't eat lunch at all...maybe another cup of coffee and a cookie about 3:30 or 4:00. I eat an egg over easy and a couple slices of bacon or ham and some grits or hash browns and a piece of toast with honey or preserves, apricot or pineapple or raspberry. I hate bagels. On Saturdays or sometimes Mondays I sometimes have a doughnut or pastry with my bacon or ham instead of eggs and grits. If I go out to lunch with friends I don't eat dinner. I drink coffee all day long, but my daughters drink iced tea. I like my grits buttered, no sirup. I seldom eat pancakes or waffles. Sometimes if I have pie in the refrigerator I'll eat a slice of that for breakfast! MariLynntex

Jan Grits is like poroge (sp?) It's made with corn I think. It looks like corn meal when it's raw and when cooked with a little water it turns into a creamy white mush. Serve it with lots of butter mixed in and it's yummy. But I'm like Dorothy I like Potatos and eggs but I like mine mixed in with my scrambled eggs along with some onions, green peppers, and ham. WAAAla omelet.

I found this off the Quaker website. Thought you might all be interested in this little fact about grits. 1) What are grits? Grits are made from the milling of corn kernels. The first step in the process is to clean the kernels; then, the grains are steamed for a short time to loosen the tough outer hull. The grain kernel is split, which removes the hull and germ, leaving the broken endosperm. Heavy steel rollers break up the endosperm into granules, which are separated by a screening process. The large-size granules are the grits; the smaller ones become cornmeal and corn flour. Now Jan you know what grits are and I know how they make this delicious breakfast food we sometimes eat. LOL I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.

My brain is enlarged Susie, still can't buy the stiuff here so I guess I'll stick to porridge (oatmeal) cooked with a pinch of salt and served with sugar and cream....good for a hangover - it sets like ready mix concrete in your stomach and defies queasyness - or so my brother says...

| Breakfast- Must have a least TWO Dr. Peppers before I talk to anyone. Leafroglibby..You are MY kinda woman! Most people don't know what red-eye gravy is. Most people don't like grits because they've not had them prepared properly. You need them to be kind of soupy, a bit of butter AND a bit of meat grease and a piece of salty country ham to dunk in it with each bite. (NEVER tell your cardiologist about this breakfast) I once tried grits in a Greek rest. in Michigan..(I should have known better) They had olive oil in them!!! I donned a hair net an apron and set them straight!!! What fun, we stayed friends for years after, even after we moved away. Anyway, thats my two cents worth. |
