how do you like your eggs Ma'm?

I'm very specific with me weetabix. Lots of sugar, milk. Drain off all the milk slowly drinking a spoonful at a time. By the time you get up all the milk you can the weetabix is lovely and mushy like porridge but without that vile oaty shit porridge has got going on. Then mix it around to get the sugar well mixed in and eat. Lush.

Eggs, poached.
 
Fried, with the yoke still a little bit runny.

or

Scrambled, but still moist, to allow for the cook-on on the plate

or

Poached, but properly poached (not that I can do proper poached eggs), but I do have a poacher but somehow they just don't taste the same.

Ohh Ohh Ohh! stayed at a B&B last week for one night and the eggs were soooo fresh, that's the secret for eggs, getting them as fresh as you can.

And breakfast, variations on a theme but I'm gradually phasing out the meat part, unless I can guarantee that it is Organic and ethically produced, but a full cooked every day!!!
 
I don't like cereal except for PORRIDGE which rocks :cool: I'm not keen on eggs generally but I am quite partial to a soft poached egg on a big slab of crusty bread toast spread with unsalted butter. Mmmm yolky buttery goodness.
 
Cereal must be crunchy! It must be eaten the very instant it is touched by the milk, or it is completely ruined. Ideal is pouring a tiny bit of milk on each spoonful individually.

I never eat cereal, ever. Haven't got time for all that fucking about. :D

Eggs: runny yolk,. but hard white with no snot whatsoever.

Toast: either fresh warm and golden, no burnt bits, or rock hard but still light coloured, like those french toast crispbreads. You can make these by getting white bread and sticking it on a warm radiator for three days. :cool:

These things aren't really proper foibles; if someone presents me with soggy cereal, snotty eggs and burnt toast and I'm hungry enough, i'll probably struggle through. I'd rather have a proper breakfast than any of the above, anyway: curry or shepherds pie.

My real foible is, people breathing anywhere near my food. If anyone too close coughs or talks in the direction of me or my food while I'm eating, I don't want it anymore. If people at work approach me while I'm sitting at my desk eating my lunch, I lean protectively over it and growl at them, and they back away.

a proper plain porridge with water and salt and nothing else in it plus three fried eggs with a proper strong cup of tea really sets you off for the day.

I feel your pain.

The importance of personal space whilst eating is greatly under appreciated.

If it were physically practical and socially acceptable, I'd eat most meals from within the confines of a nice, cosy, hermetically sealed bubble. With a built in telly, obviously.

:cool:
