About different breakfasts

Since retiring, I've had time to spend making creative breakfasts. I recorded these in my Journal for six months, with different things every day. I was surprised how easy it was. For example, humble beans on toast can be flavoured in many ways [soy, brown sauce, red sauce, curry paste & raisins]. I watched a Ruth Goodman documentary about Victorian breakfasts and it was a heart attack on a plate, a banquet that included kippers, kidneys, sausages, mushrooms and eggs in several ways. My favourites now are 'something on toast' [beans, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms], bitesize shredded wheat with banana, followed by fresh fruit and homemade yoghurt. I enjoy kippers but difficulty disposing of the skin and the smell makes this a rarity.

What are your 'go to' breakfasts? Do you eat early or late [brunch]. Do you like the same things every day or a variety?

  • Interesting thread, so my input is; every day Huel powered shake (mixed thick like yoghurt) with muesli and frozen fruit.  All weighed out and fruit defrosted first thing. My brunch.

    Easter, Christmas and Birthday only it is scrambled eggs layered with smoked salmon on a bed of spinach on toast with a dollop of mayo. 

    I am finding I prefer the same thing every day as I have got older and not masking and pretending I need variety.

    I still maintain, if I could just take 2 pills instead of eating I would. 

    One Huel meal for evening watching the Chase.  These 2 meals also require the minimal amount of shopping and forward planning which is even more essential for daily consumption. 

    Taking away planning and organising means I enjoy the food, despite the chore.
