Rice pudding for breakfast

Feels indulgent but is it nutritionally similar to porridge or am I deluding myself? Homemade in a crock pot with pudding rice, semi skimmed milk, mixed dried fruit, sugar and spices.

Usually I prefer a savoury start to the day but this feels like it will keep the cold out.

I had pistachio cheesecake for breakfast yesterday. DP's colleague made it and he brought a slice home for me, but I wasn't in last night. Needs must. It was delicious.

I think you should probably meet for breakfast with the poster of another thread who’s eating Yorkshire puddings and jam for breakfast. 😉

I love hot rice pudding in the cold winter mornings for breakfast

I mean, it could be worse. I've had Turkish delight and Percy pigs. Hope that helps.

I like the idea of you heading out to face the day on a mad sugar rush…😀

You get to choose your breakfast, OP. I imagine that nutritionally oats are a better choice than white rice, but fuck it, there have been times when I’ve had leftover birthday cake or a Bloody Mary.

And yay for all fellow curry eaters. I had aubergine curry for breakfast yesterday. Delicious.

Turkish delight! Love it.

it's fine

maybe try leaving out the sugar next time if you are using dried fruit. and swap out white with whole grain rice.

my room mate used to have rice, seaweed and fish for breakfast. it's common to have this in japan.

Thanks all. It's odd how sweet rice feels indulgent compared to porridge oats when there's probably not much difference between them.

I am adding pudding rice to my shopping list Op…

Cloouudnine · 08/11/2024 08:58

I love rice pudding. I guess the main difference is the “healthy oats” thing, fibre and whatever it is in oats that makes them so good for you.

I really cannot talk about healthy breakfast- I’m eating banana and bagel which seems like a calorie dense start to my day if anything ever was!

Onthesideofthespiders · 08/11/2024 08:56

I had flatbreads with a homemade curry sauce for breakfast, and some mango!
Have whatever you want!

TheKeatingFive · 08/11/2024 08:56

It sounds great. Carbs and dairy are the core complement of most breakfasts, to be fair

Devilsmommy · 08/11/2024 08:52

I've done this 😊

Grepes · 08/11/2024 08:52

Have whatever you want for breakfast. I often have leftover curry on toast with a fried egg on top.

SleepingisanArt · 08/11/2024 08:52

Perfect! Please can I come round for breakfast?

MrsHarrisisinparis · 08/11/2024 08:52

You're an adult and can eat whatever the hell you want to for breakfast.
