One type of cake I do like when either at my sisters in Shropshire , or on occasions have seen in Sainsburys is the Staffordshire Oatcake, in some of the potteries cafes you can have it with fillings breakfast wise.
Done in the frying pan with a light amount of oil in the pan, takes less than a minute done on both sides.

Mick the Staffordshire oatcake and the Derbyshire oatcake seem to identical twins grin! Considering the geographical proximity of the two counties, it is hardly surprising! Wherever you find them, they are delicious!

At home, my breakfast is usually cereal or porridge, but if we are staying in a B & B then I will have a cooked breakfast minus the black pudding. If in a hotel, I tend to go for the continental breakfast or scrambled egg on toast depending how I feel. Always a cup of tea with whichever breakfast I have. ?

When I'm staying in a B&B or hotel I like to start with fresh fruit salad, with prunes if available. Full English minus the tomatoes. To finish, toast and mamalade or jam. It must be accompanied by tea, not coffee. I'm dropping just thinking about it.

Drooling, not dropping.

On Chr........Morning, I have a slice of game pie cold, some cranberry sauce and mustard, accompanied by a nice strong coffee, then toast and marmalade. Only 6 months and 2 days to wait. ?

Although I rarely do a breakfast but will eat out at cafes , I usually have slightly healthy one at a café in Buckingham on a Saturday lunch.
Includes Toast and grilled tomato with mushrooms , they do 2 types small or large or a veggie version without the bacon, eggs and sausages.
This thread is like soops kitchen its on running.

We took our grandson out to breakfast at a lovely cafe in their local park yesterday. He had a small full English and I said to him “are you sure you really want an egg.” He was sure he did, and when it came, proceeded to remove every shred of white in the most precise and surgical manner, onto a napkin which he then put in a bin! He then pronounced it a lovely breakfast although it must have been nearly cold by the time he’d finished faffing around with the egg!

Sadly I must not let my mind dwell on a full english..........or any of the delights many of you enjoy............even my grapefruit has now been binned as I revert back to my Shredded Wheat alas................However looking on the brighter side.I am alive and I am eating...........many do not have a breakfast or any sort of meal daily.............

I'm undergoing a crumpet compulsion. Every single day I eat one crumpet for breakfast, usually just with butter, but sometimes marmalade as well.

Greyduster Mon 25-Jun-18 13:09:16

Panache I will think of you eating your shredded wheat when I am eating my usual single Weetabix with a tablespoon of crushed linseeds on it! Yum ??.

I rarely fancy a full English nowadays but it has to include bacon, sausage, black pudding, fried egg, fried bread, fried tomatoes and mushrooms never ever baked beans.

Sadly, gluten intolerance means no black pudding any more and sausages can be a problem.

We are currently in a(n) hotel and I'm having kippers which I never do at home - though I have no idea why, unless it's the smell!?
