What's for breakfast?

grannyactivist and Greyduster, According to my mother, (we are definitely northern) anything soaked in milk till it's sloppy was pobs so weetabix gone soggy is pobs. I think I'd have trouble swallowing bread and milk.

I'm a 5:2 devotee and avoid eating till 6pm on fasting days because food makes me hungry! On those days, my breakfast (taken at 6pm) is my main meal and is a modified version of Rick Stein's Gigantes recipe. On the other five days, my breakfast is at 10.30am and is usually a Warburton's crumpet with lots of butter.

Well, I fancied scrambled eggs on toast with a nicely presented toy boy to follow............but got visit from DD and her brood so have crumbs of everything, everywhere..........the kids went through the card, twice I think, cereals, fruit, muffins, yoghurts........then a fry up. The dog and I were very pleased to see them.

Hi Riverwalk,

I'm a bit of a health freak and still work. I have ground flax (doesn't give you highs and lows), all the seeds I can find, dried fruit, nuts and oat bran. Weekends are different when I like smoked haddock with a poached egg, grapefruit and toast and lemon curd! Yum!

I had chicken and sweetcorn soup for my breakfast today, it's what I fancied and was lovely. Then I had a cream cake later on, scrummy.

Tea, it's all about the Tea

I always eat breakfast but just have a cup of tea and muesli. I never enjoy a full English first thing in the morning, just too much.

Croissants with butter & peach jam as it is the weekend. Melon or nectarines on a weekday until the porridge season starts in a few weeks time.

I make my own muesli in huge batches that lasts for a month or two, and keep it in plastic tubs. It's crammed full of delicious things, including various nuts but no sugar and, although I only have a small bowl, keeps me going all morning. I do love scrambled eggs too and have them when I have time! Definitely tea though. Lots of tea!

Almost every morning I have two cups (not mugs) of freshly brewed coffee. About half an hour later I have full fat Greek yoghurt with berries and/or nuts and a dollop of fresh cream if there's any in the fridge.

I'm still on the coffee at the moment, lazy morning

I have Lidle very nutty muesli with added mixed nuts, desiccated coconut, etc. I have this every day and it has brought down my cholesterol. Husband used to cook himself porridge but has now joined me. He has prunes on his with yogurt.

I gather that constipation is more common in older men than women.

My mother used to call it pobs too. I wonder why, if I ate bread soaked in milk I would immediately chuck it back up again, but I can eat Weetabix mush (which is what it turns into when DH puts too much milk in) and not give it a second thought.

Discovered while staying abroad at my son's that I am quite happy with porridge oats and cold milk poured over them. Have this with fruit - strawberries at present - and seeds such as sesame, sun flower, chia ??? ( South American seeds that are supposed to help lower cholesterol) and nuts. But, if it's a walking day I have scrambled eggs and have my cereal for lunch!

Today I've had toast with a slice of home roasted ham, and a cup of tea. Usually it's just the toast, but the ham tempted me when I opened the fridge.

I like the name pobs for bread and milk grannyactivist- thank you for telling me! It's definitely pobs from now on.

How I miss my strong black coffee - decaff just doesn't cut it Always have the same for breakfast - 4 strawberries, 6 grapes, few blueberries, handful of bran flakes with plain yogurt on top. At the weekend I can have toast and marmalade and if away in a hotel a full English but that's very rare these days! I can't go without eating anything as we're up at 5.

DanniRae for those of us from up north (other places may have different names) this was known as 'pobs'.

5:2 day so just a cup of tea but on other days it is home made meusli, (Tesco cheapest with lots of nuts and fruit added), milk and stewed apple. There are lots of windfall apples at the moment so I am cooking them down and using them anywhere I can. Once the clocks change we have porridge.

I had some crusty white bread left over so had bread and milk -I used to have this as a child and still enjoy it now. In case people don't know of this delight it's hot milk, cubes of bread and sugar.

Surely I'm not the only one to eat this? BTW I only have it very rarely

grilled home-grown tomatoes on sour dough and serious coffee.

llrina yes salt is something people forget at times. Personally, I can't eat breakfast at all. A coffee and a cigarette do me until teatime .

never mind the sugar in cereals, have you checked the salt content!

Several cups of strong black coffee followed by fresh fruit then yogurt and a banana.

Jam or Primula cheese spread butty, occasionally have crumpets for a change.

Scrambled eggs on toast (gluten free so as small as possible) Squeezed orange and coffee. First thing tea about 2 mugs full
Tomorrow gluten free cereal
Next yogurt and fruit -autumn raspberries from garden

Today, two slices batch loaf with butter and marmite, and a glass of milk at about 10. Doing chores and wanted something quickly.
