We have a full Scottish breakfast only on Sundays. I must say we both look forward to it immensely.?
My favourite breakfast, however, is avocado on toast mashed roughly with salt, lemon juice and finely chopped chives or spring onions. Mmmmm.

I only have that type of breakfast if we are away in a hotel, fat chance of that at the moment! My husband does a very nice scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, usually at Christmas accompanied by some champagne. My usual breakfast is Greek yogurt, sliced banana and honey and Hazelnuts or sometimes I have summer berries or other fruits with it. When I was going to the gym before the lockdown, I had porridge because it had the ability to keep me going for quite a while, not because I liked it. I do love some toast, probably too much sad so most of the time I try to steer clear of the toaster.

Last week we 'broke out' of lockdown and went to the pub with another couple. I had an all day breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it.

After being isolated from other people for over four months it was a real treat and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. There was a one way system and extra staff cleaning and serving.

DH asked did I want anything before he left for Golf. I immediately thought “bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash browns, scrambled egg, and fried potato slices”.

You forgot the baked beans and toast. I do love a full English but only ever eat it if we are off on a journey, just too many calories. My wife's breakfast is a bowl of fresh berries like strawberries, blue berries, raspberries, & black berries. She adds melon, kiwi fruit & gooseberries if they are in season and a dollop of yoghurt on top.

Mine is a bowl of porridge, made with half milk half water. I neither like nor dislike it. But it does fill me up without piling on the weight.

Usual is porridge with fresh fruit.
Sometimes fancy a bacon and egg butty.

My usual is gluten free cornflakes or gf toast and marmalade.

Occasionally at the weekend I have gf pikelets with syrup and we often have sausage, bacon, eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms for Saturday brunch. It would include black pudding if I could get gf ones. sad

Yours, Puzzler but with fried egg, fried bread and potato scones, instead of scrambled eggs and potatoes.

Heart attack inducing, so a rare treat. ?

Usually toast and marmalade. I love American pancakes crispy bacon and maple syrup.
My son recently made me scrambled eggs with chorizo on sourdough toast and a blob of sour cream......delicious.
I love breakfast.
I am very greedy.?

Yours + black pudding, Puzzler!

I won’t have that for breakfast, but I do really fancy it sometimes.
I can almost smell it cooking! ? ?

What’s your usual breakfast?
What would you love to have?
