Naughty Cal 996 Report post #1 Posted March 10 Now we love a full English as much as the next person but we can't eat one everyday. So this morning we had a toasted wholemeal bagel with scrambled egg and dry cured bacon. This is one of our current lighter weekend breakfast favourites. So what are yours?

Athy 901 Report post #2 Posted March 10 That would be improved by a sprinkling of West Indian hot pepper sauce, e.g. Dunn's River. It looks tempting, but I've given up fried breakfasts for Lent. When I do allow myself a cookie brekkie (not as often as I used to, I had one every day for donkey's years but now it's perhaps once a fortnight), I enjoy a bacon and sliced mushrooms sandwich with - yes, you've guessed - a sprinkling of hot pepper sauce.

mrsmelly 2,668 Report post #4 Posted March 10 Its usualy full English for me but today it was bacon and mushroom on proper white bread, non of that gopping wholemeal rubbish. The missus has porridge and was hungry an hour later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightwatch 455 Report post #5 Posted March 10 We have porridge often but,as you say, are hungry mid morning. I love cooked breakfast, especially in a greasy spoon/transport cafe. Bacon. Always try to buy thick cut. 'Normal' is far too thin. Just my thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our bacon comes from a farm just at the back of our house. Free range home reared and dry cured. Can't beat it. Pigs are a bit small so you don't get as much as a commercially farmed one but the flavour is so deep. We can get it cut to whatever thickness we like. 1 and 1/4 whatever that works out at on the machine is what we prefer it at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyG 154 Report post #7 Posted March 10 (edited) I am on a diet, will just have one bun, not a bagel as they are very calorific! My porridge will keep me going for four hours, I start with a cup of organic oats, cook and then add everything else, granola, honey, fruit, full fat milk, enough to fill the bowl.

But on a more serious note as you asked, some people who wish to be vegetarian or vegan for a variety of reasons find the transition hard. So some products that are similar to their meat counterparts fill a gap. On a personal level I eat very few meat pretend products as I don't feel the need to, my diet is healthy with plenty of home cooked meals and organic stuff when I can afford it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quaysider 24 Report post #19 Posted March 11 Since Nigella taught me how to poach properly, IT's "Eggs Ellis" for us.... basically 2 poached eggs on whatever bread (toasted)is left with a splash of hollandaise (out of a packet) and a bit of grated cheese on top - perhaps with a splash of ketchup on if I've not forgotten it before I've sat down.
