Breakfast

[Captain Caveman]

And Sainsburys.. £12.50 in Tescos.

Yeah, you gotta keep looking about. We were in Iceland Warehouse today and it was £12 a box. But because we had a gift card, I still got two boxes. On the receipt, they came up as £10 each! Sometimes the Madri goes on offer £10 for 10 cans. I had to move off Cider and Wine because the sulphites were hurting my knees, the joys of a mountain bike accident 12 years ago.

There is huge money behind spanish lager. Estrella is another. Mrs T just gets anything on offer, She knows not to get Carling or Stella and knows enough yo pick up on anything of interest...
Wrexham lager is too fashionable now.
I like Quilmes which is Argentinian. Never on offer.

Corndog.

Grits with salt and butter, two eggs over easy, county ham and white toast with butter.

 

[Captain Caveman]

This morning I had Cilbir (Turkish eggs in a garlicky yoghurt sauce)

1/2 cup room temp natural greek yogurt
1 garlic clove
Pinch of salt
2 Poached eggs
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp Aleppo Pepper flakes

Mix the yoghurt, garlic, and salt in a serving bowl. The yoghurt must be at room temperature.

Warm the oil and flakes in a pan

Sit the poached eggs on the yoghurt mix and drizzle the warm oil and flakes on top

Serve immediately with rustic bread

I had to Google Grits. Sounds like Semolina

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Cheerios this morning, and of course coffee.

 

[Captain Caveman]

Fried tomato, 2 sausages, streaky bacon, fried bread, haggis, black rubbing, fried egg, and a good squirt of HP sauce.

 

[MayorQuimby]

I normally do my own full English breakfast; fried tomato, sausage, egg, beans, streaky bacon, fried bread, and now and then fried mushrooms. But didn't fancy that palaver today.

Dang I don't know how you guys do this. If I cooked something like that, I would not have the energy to cook anything for the next 3 months or so.

That said, I do love breakfast. Almost any breakfast item I like. Sausages, hashbrowns, sunny side up/scrambled eggs are all yummy. Pancakes and waffles with syrup, strawberry and/or blueberry sauce and whipped cream? Yum. And I don't know your local Denny's has this dish, but here they have fried country steak, which is like a big slab of chicken, breaded and fried, with eggs and hashbrowns and it has their special gravy drizzled all over. Daaaaamn.

Sometimes I also like ethnic breakfast items, too.

 

[MayorQuimby]

white toast with butter.

Omg, I totally forgot about this.

White toast with butter is God's food. The local hospital, which I unfortunately had to go to quite regularly a few years ago, had in their cafeteria this most amazing butter I had ever tasted. It wasn't real butter actually, because it was in semi-liquid form at room temperature. You know how real butter is, it's pretty solid at room temperature. But it tasted just butter, god I still remember it, it was absolutely amazing. Anyway, their butter went on the toast really smooth and easy. And they had little toasters right next that you could toast your bread with, and you could choose how brown you wanted your toast.

I haven't been back since I didn't have to go back to them anymore, but I still checked to see if they were still open during Covid. I think that they are still closed. I want to ask them what brand their butter is. I have never seen something semi-liquid like that anywhere.

Well today, it's just gonna be toast, butter, Robertsons shredless marmalade, and a cup of coffee.

I almost never eat breakfast. When I do it's for a special occasion, and my wife will make her special French Toast, which is out of this world good.

If I ate that for breakfast on a regular basis I'd weigh 1000 pounds!

 

[Unkotare]

Breakfast is for coffee and pain.

Grits is most like polenta, if you have that over there. Polenta, which we of Appalachian descent call 'mush' is made with cornmeal, grits is made from dried ground white corn hominy.

So... If you can't get grits, make polenta (mush) in an electric pressure cooker (instant pot), eat some with butter and salt if you want, like a savory porridge.

Press the rest into a container that creates a loaf about 1-2 inches high, rectangular if possible.

Put it in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, turn it out into a cutting board, slice it the short way into half inch rectangles, the fry it in butter and oil till it's crispy and golden on the outside. Serve with butter and maple syrup.

Fried Mush

What to do with leftover cornmeal mush? Make this Amish style, homemade fried mush recipe, a delicious alternative to pancakes or waffles.

Don't use milk in your instant pot for this, and the old fashion stovetop method is a PITA. You can use a broth if you like.

Now you just need to make some scrapple out of that cornmeal, and some cornbread, then find some farm fresh eggs.

I fry up two slices of thick cut bacon and fry two eggs when I have breakfast... which is not that often... usually I have a large McD's coffee and don't eat till lunch...
