The only time I like a cooked breakfast is when on holiday( in Ireland) they really know how to do a good breakfast,also decent evening meals followed by Guinness of course.I can't be bothered/ havnt got time to do a cooked breakfast at home.

Had one this morning youth !

Saturdays is my English breakfast day. Full tripper followed by nothing for the rest of the day.

 

Remember when we were younger and you could eat like an Olympic athlete, days sadly gone.

I have a 'Full English' maybe once every couple of weeks.  In my case it is usually Bacon, Mushrooms, two fried eggs and some tomatoes.  I don't mind whether the toms are fresh or canned, so long as they are cooked down well and not too watery.  I like the eggs on top of a bit of fried bread and the toms on top of another bit.

 

Not that I'm fussy... obviously..... 

 

Ocasionally, I add a couple of slices of Black Pudding.

 

Breakfast for me is quite literally a movable feast.  I'm not normally hungry first thing so don't bother.  ( Yes.. I know... 'most important meal of the day' etc...)

 

Other times I'll have a bit of cheese on toast, or just toast and jam. or a few shreddies. A nice bacon butty is a good light lunch..

 

If I can get back into my exercise and weight loss programme it will be  oatmeal porridge.  Every morning.

 

In Wethies, I have learned to pass up their cooked breakfasts and instead have Toast and Jam, followed by Yoghurt with fresh fruit.  Lovely.

To be fair to breakfast was not that bad, 2 bacon, 1 sausage, fried egg flipped & cooked, beans, hash brown, 1 full tomato cut in half grilled, no fried bread, think most of it was grilled? Dumped the cheap sausage on day two, would have preferred a nice Lincolnshire sausage when in Lincolnshire?

Most of my working life ive had cooked breakfast.............but always on the road, hardly ever at home,........my favourite for many years was at the 'Little Chefs'...........think they nearly all gone now..........on my travels i come across one or two 'American Diners'.........love them, they do a breakfast called 'Yankee Doodle Dandy'...........mighty fine folks,...........i sometimes do my James Cagney impersonation when ordering........but mostly falls on deaf ears with the youngsters serving me,...............they just don't know about.......''Yankee doodle who went to London just to ride the Pony's''

Youngsters just never lived eh Ben

Little Chef Olympic breakfast with a side order of beans. The stuff of which dreams were made. I wonder if they still do that? I think I have to travel as far as North Hykeham for the nearest Little Chef now. They were a great institution on a long journey with the children. 

[philmayfield 6,136]

I've just checked and YES THEY DO!!

[TBI 2,351]

Very, very rarely do I have fried breakfast these days. Yesterday I was out on my bike having a ride round Leicestershire and Rutland. Decided to stop for a coffee at the very nice Nevill Arms, Medbourne but then decided on a whim to have a Full English. I can only say it was magnificent! 

 

I also used to like the Little Chef breakfasts when I was on the road working, they used to do a great mixed grill too.

Little chef,American pancakes with maple syrup and a coffee when I ride the trike anywhere near Hykeham,

Been in that one many times Rog................used to work all the Coops in Lincoln..............Lincoln Coop is still an independent Coop.............ie not part of the Coop group............

[MargieH 7,600]

Ben, Yankee Doodle Dandy also stuck a feather on his cap and called it macaroni.....

As a child, i couldn't work out whether the feather, the cap or the pony was called 'macaroni'. Still don't know actually.

[philmayfield 6,136]

I've got a few trips past Hykeham shortly. I'll try it out Rog.

Just relaxing and catching up a bit after spending a day and a half at the hospital. Mum has fallen and broken her hip. Meal times are when and how and what . Yesterday morning  all I had was water until I found time to go somewhere for breakfast. The restaurant in the hospital has closed down so had to go outside to a bar for a quick cappuccino and brioche. This morning I had 2 indian figs. Deliciously cold and very refreshing.

Mum likes her crunchynut cornflakes every morning. They don't sell them here so I order from British Corner Shop and order more things I can't get here. She ran out a few days ago and I had to get some different cereal and she says its like eating sawdust. She's going to have to wait quite a while til the goods are delivered then I shall have to take them into hospital for her breakfasts. She's not eaten much, hospital food is never very good and she doesn't like so many foods. So now having to think of what I can take her to be tasty enough.

Talking about sausages ....they aren't a thing I buy very often but the other day really had a fancy to eat them.

Here they are entirely different, all meat and flavourings , no rusk.  The ones I bought were about 2 metres in length and flavoured with fennel seeds. Ate some and put the rest in freezer to enjoy another day. Maybe with an egg and bacon.

Phil did you ever have any when we had Puccini? Served in tomato and white wine sauce.

[katyjay 5,091]

Sorry to hear about your mum's fall, hope she recovers soon. Hope the cornflakes come soon too!

[LizzieM 9,508]

As Katyjay says, sorry to hear about your Mum Nonna, it means you're going to be even more busy now, fitting in hospital visits too.  Good luck. 

[Jill Sparrow 10,307]

Nonna, I'm very sorry to hear of your mum's fall and hospitalization. I've been through that with my own mum so can appreciate how difficult it is for you both. Hope she is soon able to come home and enjoy her cornflakes!

[MargieH 7,600]

Nonna, sorry about your mum's problems....  hope all will go well for her - and you, of course x

[benjamin1945 16,160]

Hope all turns out well Nonna with your mother................get her off them Indian Fags as well...............all the best me-duck.........

Margie, that's always worried me too, but also never sure who was wearing the hat!

Yes, Rog, I know the place. I've been many times but not for years. There used to be another one just before it which now sell motorbike gear (or did). As for Pennels garden centre, they have a super butcher's shop which sell magnificent meat pies for about fourpence. That's the beauty of living in Lincolnshire - the food's so cheap!
