i know from mum that champions eat a healthy breakfast, but somehow on work days i usually only manage to have a berocca, a cup of hot beverage (herbal tea at the moment, while i am off all drugs and stimulants for a month, though usually strong black coffee) and a goodbye kiss, then on me bike to work...

but once here i heat up a sausage roll or a pie i get in a frozen pack from my bakery (8 for eight dollars! bargain) and have an early morning tea...

weekends are a different matter - mushies and eggs on toast (with sneaky melted cheese on), or sometimes french toast and syrup. mmmm or if i am on a healthier kick, muesli with soy milk, yoghurt and fruit in a BIG bowl. both in bed with the paper and significant other...

what's your start to the day?

Ignoring mother's advice, I rarely have breakfast...

This morning it was a bottle of cranberry juice and a scotch egg. Normally it's a crumpet or toast and some coffee.

Through the week, a small bowl of Mini-Wheats is about all I can handle at 6 in the morning. Saturdays I go garage saling with my chums (a lot more fun than it sounds) and have very little but black coffee to fuel my morning madness. Sundays, however, I put on my chef's whites and cook mega-breakfasts for my family. Bacon, eggs, sausages, toast, sliced up fruit, yogurt, juice, tea and coffee. Lots of veggie-bacon and veggie-sausage for me. Stinky cheeses if we've been grocery shopping the week before. And then we sit and eat for about an hour.

Mouth watering now. It's gonna be a long week...

I usually don't eat breakfast but I brunch with cigarettes which really is as filthy as it sounds.
On the occassion that I do however, I eat a humdrum slice of toast and glass of orange juice.

Papess

22:35 / 09.05.05

Just tea, usually. I might have two poached eggs with toast if I wake up hungry, but I normally don't.

DUe to my foolishness in choosing cated accommodation at uni, I only have a microwave in my 'kitchen'. So its fruit or the grey food hall mess they serve at ridiculously early times in the morning.

Its usually fruit.

I usually forgo breakfast altogether, but under doctor's orders I have started to drink meal replacement shakes instead. they're not too bad, and I've actually dropped a few excess pounds doing it.

I usually skip breakfast and have a bagel w/ creamcheese and two coffees for brunch.

23:10 / 09.05.05

At the moment, a bowl of Special K and a glass of orange juice. Sometimes I have nothing, sometimes I have a pastry, sometimes (the best times) I don't get up in time for breakfast.

Scrubb is on a downward spiral

Breakfast yesterday was muesli/granola, Ben and Jerrys' Cherry Garcia ice-cream, chocolate syrup and maraschino cherries. Washed down with a can of Japanese pre-mixed coffee.

A snickers bar with a can of diet coke is the true breakfast of champions. Preferably consumed while striding towards the office. Serve with lit cigarette for those days when you really need to be operating at 110%.

lonely as a cloud...

07:27 / 10.05.05

During the week, I usually have a large mocha (with two shots of espresso if I feel the need), and a breakfast bar of some description. Weekends it's egg, cheese, mayo and mustard on wholemeal toast. Mmmmmmm.

07:56 / 10.05.05

This morning it was three digestive biscuits with pepper cream cheese and a banana. Coffee had to wait until I got to work.

08:00 / 10.05.05

Lidl's own brand coco pops, cup of tea and a cigarette. Possibly some valium.

Mistoffelees

08:44 / 10.05.05

I eat müsli: 1/2 "wheat pops" and 1/2 healthy stuff (70% cereals, 30% dried fruit).

But for years, I just ate one nutella roll.

Last summer in London I had a horrible experience. I did not want to eat breakfast at the hotel, so I got to a diner, and made sure NOT to order an English breakfast, and of course got it anyway. Looking at it with an empty stomach almost made me heave: all that fat; burnt mushrooms and bacon, fried eggs and liver(!). I´m amazed people actually eat that in the morning.

I love breakfasts, but rarely get up in time to indulge in a proper one so generally it's a bowl of cereal eaten standing up in the kitchen followed by a slice of wholemeal toast and a glass of orange juice, this is followed up by a cup of good strong tea the moment I hit work.
When I have time breakfast is a leisurely affair taken over a copy of the Times or Guardian including bacon sandwiches or scrambled eggs and bacon, juice, espresso, tea and toast.

Looking at it with an empty stomach almost made me heave: all that fat; burnt mushrooms and bacon, fried eggs and liver(!). I´m amazed people actually eat that in the morning.

You heathen: there is nothing finer than a proper massive cooked breakfast like that (excepting the liver, which is all wrong and should be replaced immediately and forthwith by some black pudding. Mmm, black pudding....Also, sausages. Mmm...beans... two slices... strong tea...mmm...)

Now that is the stuff of champions. What I *actually* have for breakfast is unfortunately two Tescos own brand Weetabix impersonations and a cup of coffee. I don't even like coffee.

a vegan, silly american version of an english breakfast this morning: tofu sausages, organic beans, fried organic tomatos, sourdough toast and green tea.

yum.

it's usually just green tea, soy yoghurt and fruit though.

grant

16:41 / 10.05.05

Tea: check! (with soy milk)

Toast:check! (with marmite+butter, and/or peanut butter+honey)

Generally some kind of apple or orange or something in car en route to work, then snacking on brownies & crap once here.

Because I am weak.

Poached eggs on weekend, occasional oatmeal when it's cold and I can be bothered. Sometimes, a scattering of raw oats with whatever Cheerios or bran something something are around, as a cold cereal. This practically guarantees some of the most satisfying bowel movements you could ever ask for.

Captain Zoom

17:10 / 10.05.05

Honestly, you lot. I'm surprised you can make it through the day. Okay, you're all invited to my place for a big Sunday breakfast. Y'know, whenever.

I can't skip breakfast on days that I'm working painting/finishing - I burn too many calories by lunchtime. If I do go without (and still have coffee, as always), it feels like my body is burning muscle... which it may actually be doing, I don't know much about biology. All I know is it's uncomfortable, and exhausting, and makes me a little sick and shaky too. When my wallet allows I prefer to have a breakfast sandwich (ham/egg/cheese), but lately I'm broke and just chomping down a granola bar to tide me over.

One of the following;

A bowel of musili with milk, yoghurt and honey

A cup of tea

A coffee and a pan au raisin

A full english and chai latte

A wank

Depends on my mood and if I'm working or not.

Mourne Kransky

20:06 / 10.05.05

My body is a temple. I usually break my fast with a glass of wine and a small wafer. For an especial treat I might have consecrated cheese on host or gobble an altar boy.

Mmmmmm.

Altar boy.

I drink tea in the morning, and smoke when I first wake up.

Alex's Grandma

22:37 / 10.05.05

B the B;

There's presumably no point in having a wank until you've got to the office though - otherwise, that seems like a waste of valuable sleeping time.

( I appreciate this might be different if the facilities are on CCTV. See also; doing a line of coke first thing. )

But for years, I just ate one nutella roll.

misto, how'd you make one roll last years? musta nibbled just a crumb a day - you should go live in a himalayan cave and set a new record!

who said the magic words, black pudding? mmmm, now i'd forgotten about that in my original post, 'cause signiff-other takes offence. can't see how! black pudding, eggs, thick toast, tomato & sausage, all in front of the live european cup final football at 5am (we antipodians put up with such anomalies)

I just have whatever, this morning I had bran flakes with sliced banana, yesterday I had a tinned Indain meal.

The Indian meal tasted better.

For some reason I love curry type stuff first thing in a morning.

Olulabelle

23:38 / 10.05.05

Me, the Beautiful Man and the Lovely Boy all have Ready Brek with syrup on it in the morning and can highly recommend it.

You know that orange glow? We have that.

09:42 / 11.05.05

I do bran flakes also. They're not really food, more of a place marker, a post-it note that at some point you're going to eat. They stop your body being hungry in a confused way ('Stomach's full, shouldn't grumble - but why do I still have an insane craving for lard?')

Then at about eleven I have a brie roll, which the body appreciates, although it's still resentful about being initially fobbed off with corrugated cardboard.

mistress_swank

14:53 / 11.05.05

A cup of strong-yet-milky instant coffee (while the espresso machine looks on in shock and loneliness), a fag and the smells of Castle Swank's back garden.

It's a fabulous start to the day, even when it's raining. So peaceful and centering.

However, I'd prefer a large soy latte and sex.

grant

15:27 / 11.05.05

What's Indian meal?

I'm not sure if I should be picturing curry in a can or grits.

In a can.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

15:28 / 11.05.05

Mr The Ball: "A bowel of musili with milk, yoghurt and honey"... you just pump it straight into the bowel? Without the chewing or ANYTHING??? You crazy kids...

I haven't had breakfast in years. Until a few days ago, when I discovered those fake veggie bacon rashers, and HAD to try them out (even though, strangely enough, I've never really missed bacon. I think it's just cos they're fun to cook, the way they go all bubbly when you fry them). Now it's a fry-up every time. Until I get back on the nightshift, at which point I tend to forget about eating. At all.

Mono

16:35 / 11.05.05

What's with the not eating thing, stoat? Am I going to have to start bringing you weird out of date cheese sandwiches from work again? huh?
