Never been a fan myself.

i had some when i was in belfast, a ulster fry, lovely stuff

 

[Mr.Bishie]

I've had the Cornish Hog's pudding. Terrible stuff but the Cornish love it.

Do we?

Can't say I've ever tried it or seen it served aywhere

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Loads of the bloody stuff at local produce markets.

white pudding is amazing...especially Shaw's white pudding...it's a sausage shaped roll - only bigger, you cut off a slice & fry or grill it - it's quite spicy & lots of texture, pearl barley, onion & lots of throw-away cow bits (all the yucky bits people dont like talking about)

black pudding is similar but made with more blood to make it black

DELISH!!!

i love it soooo much - i'd often just have pudding for breakfast...fried & then mashed all over thick slices of brown soda bread with really thick butter MMMM i want some NOW

suitgirl: when I was in Ireland I couldn't get enough Irish sausage (phnargh!) - Denny's and Clonakilty. Yum. Even smuggled some back in my hand luggage

I have 2 breakfasts of champions - my normal, healthy breakfast of homemade granola, natural yoghurt and berries with hot water and lemon to drink and then my once in a while gut buster of sausage, bacon, grilled tomatoes, hash browns, scrambled eggs and thick granary toast loaded with butter.

Since I haven't had the latter for months tomorrow will be a lard busting experience

Go girl!

I would happily eat any and all of those breakfast items. Alas my Hollywood/New Age style food intolerances mean that I have to make my own muesli

It's nice though.

next time any of you are in Ireland, try and find a Superquinn supermarket and buy a TON of their (award winning) butcher sausages from the butcher counter. They are LUSCIOUS!!

Whenever we visit our cousins in UK we always smuggle some. Infact every time we go on hols to Crete we bring about 4lb of them for one of our Irish mates who lives there and pines for them

and if you cant find Superquinn - go to any normal supermarket and buy Kearns sausages - the next best thing.

 

[EastEnder]

Bit of toast, coffee, rolly on standby.

Or if I'm being healthy: Fresh fruit smoothie, coffee, rolly on standby.

 

[madzone]

Loads of the bloody stuff at local produce markets.

And that means the Cornish love it?

 

[dynamicbaddog]

golden syrup flavour instant oats

 

[pogofish]

Proper Golden Syrup on Rowies - very yummy

A daud of Golden Syrup in your porridge is quite tasty too.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

bit of a childhood favourite this, but i still have it now and again

weetabix with hot tea poured on it

lush

Marty you wrong un!

 

[pootle]

My ideal of breakfast of champions is one that is served off a mirror...

 

[llantwit]

Eggs Bennedict!!
As long as someone else cooks the fuckers.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

And that means the Cornish love it?

Yep! Fuckin' weirdos the lot of 'em!

 

[Dr. Furface]

Rowies

What's that - slang for Rohypnol?

Has anyone ever had colcannon? O'Neill's offer it as an option with their big breakfasts (which are brill) but I always go for chips. Is colcannon worth trying?

 

[pixie-iso]

Hollywood/New Age style food intolerances

Haha! I think I have those. I wouldn't eat the bananas Mr Iso had bought because they're bad for colds/coughs but was happy to make them into banana bread and eat them. I'm so full of shit sometimes!

Healthy brek of kings:
Yoghurt, chopped fruit and sprinkling of whizzed up nuts and seeds (sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, oats, hazelnuts etc.. Whizz up and keep in freezer to keep all the healthy oils from going rancid)
Rice cakes and hoummous

Dirty brek o' kings:
Crumpets with melted brie and bacon + spinach leaves
Poached egg with smoked haddock on toast with spinach leaves
Coddled egg (basically egg + watercress put in a buttered mug and cooked in a pan o' water) with sausage + pumpernickel bread

(Notice how I always add a salady bit to dirty brek to make it "healthy" )

 

[ohmyliver]

Well I'd go for scrambled eggs made with unsalted butter, black pepper, salmon offcuts, and fresh corriander on thick brown/wholemeal toast...

eta... and a double esspresso of course

 

[sojourner]

2 poached eggs on toast, with salt and black pepper and a big cup of tea

 

[rennie]

A tub of planters cheez curls. Mmmmm!

 

[pogofish]

What's that - slang for Rohypnol?

A distinctive Aberdonian delecacy. Self-preserving rolls for the fishing boats - there is a thread in Scottish forum about them.

Colcannon - foul stuff. Potatoes & Kale.

 

[Cobbles]

Steak, 2 fried eggs and a decent bottle of Claret.

 

[kyser_soze]

Breakfast of champions?

If you do have to eat, these should be poured liberally over cornflakes...

 

[madzone]

Yep! Fuckin' weirdos the lot of 'em!

Well, you're not wrong there. When things get too weird I have my Scottish ancestry to fall back on

 

[northernhord]

A two egg omlette with chedder cheese n black peppa, at the side of that some tomatoes that have been fried in olive oil, at the side of that some flash fried field mushrooms and a pieca toast

 

[SubZeroCat]

I'm so full of shit sometimes!

It's funny cos it's true

(It totally runs in the family though )

I loooove wholemeal toast cut into soldiers and dipped into the runny yolk of a boiled egg. However, I don't like the white so I just chuck that afterwards!

 

[Guineveretoo]

I love breakfast at weekends.

Scrambled eggs on toasted muffins is a good one, with or without grilled tomatoes and/or fresh spinach.

 

[magneze]

Full English - no beans though, yuk.
