My favourite breakfast(confession of a sugarholic)

Before i retired, I used to love a full English breakfast of sausage, egg, bacon, tomatoes, and hash browns (unhealthy, I now know)
Now I like shredded wheat with sugar and cold milk one day, pancakes with sugar and lemon juice another day and as an alternative, toast, butter and marmalade on another day.
I know the sugar is bad for me and my teeth have rotted away. I have had to have 3 implants costing a fortune
For elevenses,I have sweet instant coffee with 90% milk.
My adult son loves porridge but,ugh, it's something I just cannot eat.

So what is your favourite breakfast ?
I eat porridge everyday with lashings of golden syrup. My favourite breakfast, if I'm in the mood is a Sunday morning fry up
I used to like a fry. If it could go into the pan it was included. Now it's porridge with a few pieces of dried fruit and a couple of wallnuts.
That's one tough breakfast sandy
Muesli
Coco Pops!
That went too soon

Muesli, porridge or my fave......toast poached egg salmon and fresh toms
Lots of fruit and an Activia vanilla yoghurt and a pint of water.
I love warm, sweet weetabix or strawberry crisp cereal with greek yogurt poured onto it with honey.
creamy scrambled eggs on rye bread toast and really good coffee
Rowan,that sounds lovely. I had toast and marmalade this morning,only because I thought I should have something.(boring)
Porridge,not the instant. Made with just a pinch of salt, no sugar or fruit.

Toast, butter and marmalade, the diabetic one, Streamline..cos I love that one

Rarely, egg on toast.
Had white toast this morning with butter, small piece of cheese and a nana keep my fave for a treat as I make it with just egg yolks and double cream
In the early 1970's i used to backpack around the Greek Islands. On Mykonos, I stayed at a campsite called Paradise Beach, and they did the best fresh fruit salad for breakfast that I have ever had. They served it with plenty of Greek Yoghurt and local honey. Since then it has been one of my favourite Sunday breakfasts. As I am now a diabetic, I really shouldn't eat vast quantities of honey but I still use a little bit. Waitrose sell an expensive Wild Flower honey from Greece that is well worth looking out for.

Porridge. Now you can really improve on porridge, just by adding a handful of muesili, sultanas and dessicated coconut. Try it !

So reasonably healthy and very tasty !
Frozen fruit mix with thick onken yoghurt or oat bran porridge with rice milk
3 tbsp mixed seeds & a cup of green tea with lemon.
I love a full English breakfast , toast & shredded wheat cereal but it makes my stomach really wonky so I only eat that if I'm feeling brave.
Protein in the morning is supposed to be really good for you so I'd go for grilled bacon ,poached egg , grilled tomato & beans hold on the fried stuff it will keep you going for the rest of the day rather than the sugar highs & lows you'll get from your usual sweet breakfast.
I don't eat breakfast...
I have my breakfast in the evenings. On tonight's menu is cornflakes coated in lashings of sugar.

Although I do now have an urge to go and buy a load of bacon, sausage and hash browns.
Nice thick salty porridge with a handful of sultanas thrown in.
I agree about the full English. We have a marvellous place in Truro with, would you believe it a French woman and her hubbie...a French woman with a Derbyshire twang - and a really good Irish chef. The Lemon Tree behind the Cathedral if you are down this way. I use it fairly regularly but not always for their breakfast - Cornish sausages and bacon, choice of eggs (local), tomatoes or beans, black pudding and/or Hog's pudding (our answer to Haggis), mushrooms - and then toast and (decent) marmalade on top - plus decent French-style coffee or a weaker Americano.....Oh and I forgot the piece de resistance, their Irish soda bread, also fried off and positively deliciously evil.
