Quite so. It's good advice to the general population to not eat TOO much eggs/butter/whole milk  (mostly as they are very high in calories!) but it varies form person to person, family to family. My cholesterol level is 3.7, so is my fathers, my uncles has been under 3, which worried his doctor - but we are not a "healthy" eating family, ethical eating is more of an issue (with many lapses) .The females in our clan have a more "normal" reading for the UK population, around 4.5.

PS. A lot of branded Museli has added sugar! I'm a porridge kind of of guy, or veggie fry-up.

I'm not eating anything right now, but my answer would be strawberries ( when in season), and less healthily, chocolate raisins.



Breakfast is usually a glass of apple juice.

The previously mentioned cider vinegar in hot water first thing.

A handful of mixed nuts maybe a half-hour later.

Proper oatmeal porridge (no sugar) with a pint mug of real tea from a pot (none of your tea-bags here, Andy!), and maybe toast with butter/yeast extract or tomatoes, slow-cooked in a little olive oil, or a boiled egg. Or:

Weekend brunch (and probably today's) often consists of fried rice, made with leftover rice from the fridge: I always cook too much for this very purpose.

Make a little omelette from a single egg, and put it aside.

Heat a small amount of light oil laced with sesame oil in a wok, and throw in some diced garlic, ginger, spring or normal onion and, if it's in your diet, diced bacon: stir fry until the garlic and onion are translucent: add any odd scraps that you fancy and any fresh veg you have to hand, chopped fairly small: stir round. Add as much cold cooked rice as you need: stir again.  Season with soy-sauce or tamari, black pepper, maybe Worcester sauce; cut the little omelette up into small pieces and add to the wok. Stir again. Add some chopped green herb - coriander, parsley or lovage: one last stir, then serve on hot plates.... A great winter morning dish, wahed down with another pint mug of tea - preferably Ceylon.

Exactly what I was eating this very morning (and many others), together with Greek yoghurt and (when extravagant, and because they can be found quite cheaply down here), some chopped strawberries. Plus orange juice and black coffee - yum. M&S's apple and cinnamon crunch is also a regular breakfast, and the Jordans one with strawberries, always with the deliciously rich and probably highly unhealthy ever-present Greek yoghurt.

Hmmm, wonder if there'll be enough time to pop in there on the 9th?

Ye Gods! I just previewed that to see that I typed 'poop' instead of pop. I demand a refund on my eyes! This is becoming embarrassing

I can make toast at work but the smell rather permeates everywhere, which is off-putting for clients.  I did used to have a pack of cereal in the kitchen but lapsed, I think I'll start doing that again.  Muesli just takes  s o   l o n g  to eat - that I get bored with it.

I used to worry about cholesterol but when they said avocados and eggs were in fact good for you, not bad, I decided as long as you had a varied diet and stayed away from hygrogenated fat that's all that's needed.

Ok ok ok. Yes boss!  See you at the checkout!

Honestly incs, what are you like!? Anyway,  come on  tell us the Jaffa Cake story.
