Breakfast cereals are an American idea mostly, aren't they - oh, apart from porridge, that is, and muesli, which is Swiss. Right, Kellogg's processed ones like cornflakes are American, I think. When I say "trad English", I mean bacon and eggs, and toast and marmalade.

Fans are taking a while to fall out of the closet to acknowledge this ambrosial offering, Bryn. Now would that be chunky variety or Golden Shred?  |

I used to eat marmalade on fried bread, Bryn - and on bacon, a delicious combination.

Well Frank Cooper's "Oxford" goes down well, but as the years take their toll, fine cut is more and more to my taste.

I hope you don't mind my bringing up the delicate issue of porridge, but I find it works quite well with (ideally organic) peanut butter-it brings out the nuttiness of the the oats(and possibly this poster). I'll chew my coat...

Sounds an idea worth trying - thanks for that, mf! (Although I do find the idea of porridge more attractive than the reality, partly because I always suffer extreme discomfort an hour or so after eating it... I experimented with a "back to the nursery" experience a year or two back - Ready Brek! - and found that disgusting in the extreme. I think I must have poured a pound of sugar on it when I was a kid. The association for me with Ready Brek is of the winter when they did something funny to the clocks and we ended up going to school in the dark - 1971-2? No wonder they put a radioactive glow on the tv ads) |

Perish the thought of causing you any discomfort, Ros...I have a hunch that the over-milling of the oats can make them less digestable . Mornflake seem ok and a bargian,or Jordans. I worked with kids for a while and endured ready brek as well as those ryvita and jelly things for a while, I know what you mean. Hope you enjoy tommorrow's breakfast whatever it is. I must say it would be nice to take some timeover it once in a while in a foodie kind of way.

Honey on porridge - that's the thing.

Lyle's Golden Syrup ("And out of the strength came forth sweetness"). That was the stuff. Making Jackson Pollock patterns in the porridge however steadily you tried to hold the spoon it was dribbling off. All part of a doomed plan to make eating breakfast last as long as possible as if that would somehow delay having to go to school...  |

That was "Windscale Flakes", wasn't it?  |

For some reason I am reminded of Caroline Aherne's Manc checkout girl with a comment on each customer's purchases saying:
"New potatoes? Your chips'll be tiny!"

Wow. Maybe I'm going to try having a steak at breakfast sometime soon (how about chopped steak together with a slightly spiced omelette, together with orange juice and coffee?) and report back as to whether it works!
I've only just read this, but that sounds like the most perfect breakfast I can imagine (well, as long as I can have tea instead of coffee. But I'm funny that way). |
