Your breakfastl

[Sebastian Cobb]

I boiled 6 yesterday. I was through four of 'em before I noticed one had a "bad bit" running through the white. I know the yolks can go a bit off colour when boiling them but this looked something else. I also decided the yolk looked almost green.

Anyway decided to bin the rest today. Just stick to mushy peas on toast.

Was it a grey bit? That can happen sometimes if it gets a bit hot (it sometimes happens when I do shakshuka and the white is touching the side of the skillet.

Anyhow, next time you need to use up some eggs I'd recommend scrambled egg with a tablespoon of pataks curry paste mixed in.

[MuteBanana]

No it was blackish and looked almost slimy. Just wrong.

Sounds good. Might get some cheap large eggs from the offy for that. Had"curried" mushy peas on toast the other night. Turmeric, cinnamon, pepper, Marmite and Tabasco sauce. Not the most curry flavours but it was gorgeous.

[Sebastian Cobb]

I've just pulled the trigger on some Craster Kippers for tomorrow. Although it'll probably be for lunch by the time the postie turns up.

Once I cracked open an egg that was within it's expiry date and fucking hell. The white had turned black and it filled my entire flat with the smell of dreadful rotten eggs.

Couldn't eat eggs for a while after that and thinking about it still turns my stomach a bit. I wonder what had happened there.

I didn't eat the egg, by the way. I took the experience as a warning sign that it was probably unwise to. Call me a Nervous Nora if you like.

Probably had a crack in the shell you hadn't noticed.  Or it was just a bad egg.

The water/does it float trick should let you dispose of any rotten ones before you spoil the smell fo your bedsit for days and/or crack one into your food you have been cooking for an hour spoiling the lot.

I do find that keeping them in the fridge helps, I happily eat them for a week after the date on the box, and have never had any issues.

Sugar Puffs (as with Marathons and Opal Fruits I refuse to call them anything else), a Ski strawberry mousse and the obligatory two pieces of cheese.

What are Sugar Puffs called nowadays?

[MuteBanana]

Honey Monster Puffs because parents think honey sounds healthier than sugar.

First meal of the day is a homemade cold cure: 1/2 teaspoon Marmite, a knife's worth of English mustard, 1 garlic clove roughly chopped, generous shakes of turmeric, cinnamon and black pepper, plenty of honey. Just add hot water.

[Jockice]

Two Petits Filous yogs (one strawberry, one raspberry), a banana,  a Jordans Frusli bar and a bag of Seabrook cheese and onion crisps.

[Sebastian Cobb]

I wanted avo on toast but i'm all a bit new to this noise and I cut through the avodcado to find it was still not ripe so I bunged it in the microwave and it's slowly started to ripen but it's still wasn't ready so I've given it another bump and it's cooling. Fingers crossed.

Three sausage sandwich with a hefty slice of butter*, ketchup, English mustard and black pepper.

*An entire block of butter needs to be eaten by the end of the month.

You could always cut some off, and keep it in the fridge as 'cooking butter'.

Failing that, a knob of butter in baked beans is lovely and you can put shitloads in mash

I remember Heston Blumenthal's ultimate spaghetti bolognese involved a bit of butter mixed into the sauce at the end. I can confirm that a knob of butter turns the most run of the mill shop bought bolognese sauce into a winner.

As for my breakfast, on weekdays it is usually.

A handful of unsalted cashews.
14 walnut halves.
A banana or two.
A giant mug of rooibos tea left to go tepid. (no milk or sugar)
A small handful of unsalted sunflower seeds.
An apple if there is one available.
If I can be arsed some Redy Brek or Weetabix with water instead of milk. (I'm off milk because I think it gives me bacne)

80% of the time that's what I'll have during the week. The other 20% I have either a couple of slices of white toast with butter and marmalade or nothing at all. Occasionally I can't be arsed with breakfast.

On weekends anything goes. Bacon and fried eggs with white toast, sausages. Cup 'o' builder's breakfast tea with almond milk and Tesco sweetener. If there's leftover pizza I'll bung that in the microwave, can't be bothered doing the frying pan thing. The diet goes to shit on the weekend.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Oh yeah you can make a quick pasta snack or slightly depressing meal by mixing butter, a spoonful of the pasta water and marmite or srirachia (BUT NOT BOTH).

[MuteBanana]

I'll definitely be adding butter to the stacks of value instant mash I've got.

[Dex Sawash]

Went to the strawberry patch* yesterday. Had gut-busting load of strawberries for breakfast today.



*not an euphemism

[Jockice]

A bowl of Jordans Original Crunch (with strawberries,  a strawberry Ski mousse, a satsuma and my two usual cheesy bits. Not a euphemism.

[Bazooka]

I had a crabstick sandwich. You can take the man out of Essex, but you can't... etc. etc.

I am 'ambitious'. They didn't even bother to call me 'ham-bitious'. I fucking hate this shitty wizard.

[TrenterPercenter]

How do you make these feta and sweetcorn fritters?

You can freeze butter btw.

[MojoJojo]

What do you do with the flour?

[Bazooka]

What do you do with the flour?

Have it for desert. I edited the post, mix everything into it in the bowl.

Now that the weather has got warmer a hot breakfast isn't doing it for me.

Today: 4 chocolate Weetabix, 1 banana, 50g sultanas, 10g cocoa powder, cinnamon, 300ml milk. All mixed and mashed and stirred up into one lovely bowl of brown sludge. Delicious.

Protein drink, banana, smoothie(watermelon,1x kiwi,1x nectarine,1x flat peach, some grapes, 1 lime squeezed), three yogurts(banana,peach and strawberry with muesli and mixed nuts on top), will be followed with beef jerky.
