Can't beat bacon and eggs for breakfast, especially the eggs laid by your own hens. :D

Now I am hungry !! That looks lovely. We also have bacon from our neighbours pigs which is amazing.
I have a home made sweet and sour chicken for my lunch at work, we have a microwave in bus station office
 
Hubbie makes his own bread, so tomorrow it will be egg and soldiers. Mmm
WOW must be great having fresh bacon aswell.
 
Fried eggs??? What planet? Poached eggs on toast and Bovril - now that's a breakfast!
In fact that's what I had this morning with a glass of pomegranate juice. (that's a prostate thing).
And call me pickie but back bacon never goes crispy. Streaky gives that great mouth feel.
 
Fried eggs for me, poached or scrambled for OH and she makes her own bread to.
We are lucky as our neighbour supplies us with our lamb, beef and pork. If OH is going along to help feed the animals for our neighbour she always says "just going to feed our dinners" Our neighbour is an amazing 76 year old lady who runs the farm virtually single handedly
Not heard of pomegranate/prostate link Hen-Gen must look it up
 
Love eggs whatever way they're cooked! I don't eat a huge amount of meat, and even less bacon and stuff like that. Not that I dn't like it, I just don't eat much of it. Mostly, I have porridge for breakfast, Winter and Summer. But sometimes, it's eggs. Boiled or poached usually. And right now, it's way past time I got something to eat, and an omlette sounds good!
 
Poached eggs and bovril?? Now that surely is illegal :-) Must admit I love pomegranate juice, too. Can't say it's a prostate thing as I don't have that sort of equipment :-)
 
I don't eat breakfast, unless it's made for me. Then I'll eat most things, bar porridge.
I give my eggs away, close neighbour and my mother. They always say the yolks are massive and really orangey.
Whilst I'll eat eggs, they're not my favourite. I never cook them myself.

Which reminds me. When I was a kid my mum had one of those egg poachers where there are little cups that sit over a pan of simmering water. The eggs come out like rubber. It was my husband who introduced me to the proper way - cracking the eggs directly into a pan of simmering water. But it has to be my own eggs. Older, shop bought eggs just spread out into a complete mess.
As a kid, Tweetypie, I loved Marmite. But now I find it way to salty and prefer Bovril. Spread on toast and topped with poached eggs is such a good morning experience.
And good coffee. But that's another whinge! :D
 
Coffee - well I have one of those Philips Senseo machines. Not expensive. It uses coffee pads/pods, so biodegradable and also good for the garden! I don't even use Senseo pads, I bulk buy mine from HEMA. 46 pads are £2.20, whereby Douwe Egberts Senseo are around £5 for 20. Not quite bean to cup, but nevertheless, the taste is good ;-)
 
Usually, I drink green tea. But now and then, I drink redbush tea. Maybe four cups of coffee a week. I do like coffee, but don't like to have too much caffeine. My son in law has a fab coffee machine, and grinds the beans before making lovely cappucinos. At home, I won't buy a machine because I suspect I would start drinking a lot more coffee! So, when I fancy a nice, frothy coffee, I heat half milk/half water and then use an egg beater to froth it! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: It just feels more of a special indulgence than regular coffee, and I always take the time to sit down and enjoy it!
 
Still like filter coffee, real coffee, Kenyan. Melitta papers in any decent coffee machine. Every morning since I was 25, or nearly every morning, excluding holidays, hospital stays etc., I do agree about home grown eggs of course.
 
Ooh. Home laid eggs, fried, scrambled or poached depending how much time I've got, on toasted home made granary bread with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and walnuts in it. Mmm.

Only problem is that I can't chew at the mo, after too many hours in the dentist's chair, so I'm restricted to softly scrambled eggs without the toast...

This little gizmo is brilliant for making small amounts of frothy milk, i use it every day for our cappuccinos. It sorts out lumpy custard as well. Comes with small slinky case, less than £10 including the first two batteries!

My rotary egg beater does an excellent job, with no batteries! :mrgreen:
 
No coffee, just Yorkshire tea for me thanks.
Egg beaters, great, so useful for so many things
 
Yorkshire Tea is the one thing I bring out from the UK, I don't know how to survive without tea! I am not keen on eggs either, and can't face breakfast. Before you all say its the most important meal of the day I do now have something which works for me with no chewing. I blitz milk, 1/2 banana, yogurt, any stray soft fruit and some raw porridge oats and drink my 'thickie'. It keeps me going till lunch.
 
It sounds quite tasty and keeps you going thats the main thing. OH was manning the RSPB stand at a country fair a few years ago and was opposite the Yorkshire Tea stand. Some of the workers on the stand was keen on some cuddly puffins that were being given with new memberships, she slipped them a few on the quiet and was rewarded with loads of tea bags, Yorks tea cake, biscuits she came home with bags full and they didn't have to brew their own tea all weekend
