What's for breakfast again -

[oldbrownhat]

Normally a bowl of bran flakes w. raisins and regular milk, a banana and coffee from the French press.

On cold, miserable winter mornings, McCann's Steel-cut Irish Oatmeal with raisins & genuine maple syrup.

Beer for breakfast? I posted this somewhere here in January 2020 when someone brought up the subject and I'd come across Founders Breakfast Stout:

At 8.4% it is indeed pretty "stout", even with the oatmeal porridge to soak it up and a couple of mugs of strong coffee

 

[oldbrownhat]

Light beer? "Heavy" beer has the equivalent of two eggs, five strips of bacon, and two slices of toast in every can.... Get you through until wife gets up and makes "brunch". Ask me how I know.......

Amen to that Reminded me of this extraordinary story from a few years ago:

Man will drink just beer — no solid food — for the 40 days of Lent

To Chris Schryer, beer is a hobby, a passion and a side job. And for the 40 days of Lent, it is also virtually the only thing keeping him alive.

"...Mr. Schryer estimates the German lager is providing him with 2,000 calories per day; just below the 2,350 to 2,600 calories Health Canada recommends...."

​

Hmmm... Maybe I should get back to my Anglican roots...

Black coffee and dry toast. I can't compete.

This morning's was a cut-up toasted English muffin, covered with sausage gravy, leftover steak-fries, cut up and crisped in butter, and 3 poached eggs.

Up tonight can't sleep so making a large pot of vegetable beef soup....but not for breakfast. Going to make an omelet with onion green peppers mozzarella cheese...side of home made breakfast sausage, an english muffin(Thomas's) with homemade Strawberry jam...or maybe homemade Black Raspberry jelly(jam without the seeds) good cuppa coffee for me... Tea for momma. The eggs are as fresh as you can get 'em too. Stole 'em fron the chikins today

i have had the same brekfast nearly every day for several years- 2 egg whites with fruit

 

[ACORN]

2 sausage, egg and cheese muffins and a large McD's coffee with cream.

 

[bgrafsr]

Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Maple flavor or the various Fruit ones. I also like "Just crack and Egg" products, but I use 2 eggs instead of one.
And, the old standby, Eggs, Hash Browns, and sausage.

We have a grocery store in the next City over from us that has one heck of a meat counter. They make their own sausage, and one of them is Garlic flavored. We really like it.

Maybe not, but it's healthy.

Man, I can't eat on an empty stomach!

Vitamins washed down with light beer.

Breakfast of champions, so said Kurt in the days before light beer.

 

[4barrel]

[Old Arkansawyer]

Old fashion oatmeal with a couple table spoons of coconut oil, 1/2 glass
of 2% milk, 2-3 cups of coffee.

Good choice.

Alton of Good Eats is my favorite TV cook, and Chef John of Food Wishes is my favorite video blog cook.

Is this a photo of your own home made Lemon Curd using Alton's recipe?

No, that is a stock photo as mine is now an empty jar.

PS: Alton and Zimmern are my two favorite foodies to watch.

Spam is way too salty for me, and I like salt, although I have been using less and less of it as time goes by.
