Breakfast

Ok, all hands to the plough here, the challenge is to create an East meets West breakfast.

So ................ easiest is to say

(a) what you like for breakfast (not necessarily what you have, but what you would like to have) and
(b) the name or type, or at least whether East or West


These are the only ones I know - probably have variations you know or prefer - and all are West

Full English - bacon, eggs, toast. sausage, grilled mushroom, grilled tomato and sometimes steak

Full Scottish - bacon. eggs, square (Lorne) sausage, potato scones, black pudding and sometimes haggis
(Both of the above often served with baked beans but not when I make them snooty) (whistle berries)

Continental - fruit, pastries, croissants, cheese, at least one type of charcuterie (usually ham)

American pancake heaven - stack of pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. I have no idea what other breakfasts are popular in the US, for the whole 10 days I was in the US I ate pancakes grin

I've been out with Jewish friends who had kippers with fried egg (in place of bacon)



Oh and by the way, to keep it topical and related to CS, the difference between being involved and being committed can be demonstrated by bacon and eggs. The hen is involved, but the pig is committed.

What is Balut? do I want to know? (suspecting from Molly's response, not)
But a soft-boiled egg with soldiers (buttered slices of toast dunked in the egg, everyone knows that, right?) has a noble honourable place on the breakfast menu
Have to go paint the bathroom. And I think I have to eat too. My stomach growls are now making the dog glance round suspiciously.

Biff, let's just say they've been fertilised..

There Miss Biff, you get yourself the chicken (+prawn) rice porridge..

I imagine that it looks similar to your Paela. grin
Biff, we just stick to ole plain wonton noodle. Anymore aphrodisiacal stuff we put in will be resulting in getting an ambulance on standby for my poor Arty blushing
..anywayes breakfast is somthing to shere with somone, or I can manage without...(but still lot`s of coffee)laugh

cool wine
MiMi.
Im sorry i was familiar with you i do not know you....i thought u were someone else that i used to know on here from years ago.

Just back after long hiatus.
Sorry again.

And hello to all...my name is Jenny.
Mic, thank you, that clears that up nicely, and biscuits with gravy sounds very similar in origin and taste to pap en sous. Now I have to try them!

Oooh Kal looks FAB

Mimi, ok, I looked it up. Wonton noodles is a Cantonese noodle dish which is popular in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. The dish is usually served in a hot broth, garnished with leafy vegetables, and wonton dumplings. Correct?

Viking, you remind me, I've probably lost coffee buns for the rest of my life, I only ever saw them in Scotland. They aren't a breakfast thing, but were often the first thing I ate in the day, at about 11, with coffee. Not very sweet, seriously YUM.

Molly, all I can say is I'm glad I didn't give up sleeping until 9 to rush over the Ireland for scrambled eggs on toast which I can have right here snooty from hens next door, too, I just need to nip quietly over the wall and help myself. No carbon footprint for me. Well, no footprints at all, if possible uh oh

Diova, oh aye, I can imagine him getting very testy indeed giggle

Hi Jenny, welcome back, find things very different? I've found a blog complaining about the blogs now and the people now and nothing as good as in the old days, and then I noticed it was written in 2012 ... laugh
But Biff.. sometimes the taste isn't as good as it looks. laugh
