To think Sunday breakfast is the best?

87 replies

Ekkekkkeekkkekk · 24/08/2025 09:53

DH and I make it a point of having a fancy breakfast every Sunday.

We don’t eat breakfast the other 6 days so when we get back from the gym on Sunday morning we have a feast 😁

Today we’re having eggs with Dillon keto bread. Greek yoghurt with berries and keto granola sprinkled over. DH will have coffee and I’ll have Rooibos.

Its the best day for a lavish breakfast and we won’t need to eat until dinner tonight!

It's perfectly normal for many people to not eat breakfast, or to not eat lunch and go straight from breakfast to their evening meal!

It's not normal to describe basic breakfast items as lavish or a feast...

Oh so what, if they're lavish to the OP.

You have no idea of her weekly food budget so maybe to her they are lavish once a week.

Still no need for so many dickish posts on this thread.

My family had full Irish, I had rashers, mushrooms, dippy fried eggs, hash browns loads of buttered Brennan's bread . I'll definitely eat before dinner😂

I was with you until you mentioned not eating again till dinner!

What you don’t know is that I was morbidly obese for years and THIS is the only way I stay at my ideal weight.

It was obvious that something was odd with your relationship to food. No need to inflict it on others 🤷🏻‍♀️

Blimey OP

Who would've thought a post about a couple of eggs could be so controversial? 🤣

It's perfectly normal for many people to not eat breakfast, or to not eat lunch and go straight from breakfast to their evening meal!

And for many others it's not perfectly normal.

Each to their own. No need to start being shitty with the OP about it 🤷‍♂️

Living the dream 😆

Whoa so much projection!

We are all different so you do you!

Lavish?

I manage to eat granola with yoghurt & berries most days & still need lunch & dinner...

dementedpixie · 24/08/2025 11:16

We had a roll with square sausage, fried egg and potato scone. And 2 cups of tea/coffee

rubicustellitall · 24/08/2025 11:15

I will take this post in the spirit it was intended OP . Lazy sunday mornings with no rushing about, chilled and relaxed with a nice breakfast chatting over the papers etc is indeed a lovely way to end the week spending time with our loved ones with not a rush in sight..mine would follow with late sunday lunch in the pub landing back home about 5ish, getting the kids bags ready for school, baths and jamas then vegging out being extra lazy on the sofa and maybe crumpets and coffee, crap tv and bed!

xxxwd · 24/08/2025 11:14

How the fuck is this fancy? Eggs and bread? Yoghurt and granola? I’m sure it’s lovely (if you are into the show off smug bastard cuisine) but it’s hardly extravagant is it.

Onleemoi · 24/08/2025 11:13

“It’s the best way to start the day” but only does it once a week.

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 24/08/2025 11:13

It’s not my kind of breakfast but each to their own. Mentioning you don’t usually have breakfast is fine- lots of people don’t eat until lunchtime.

Enigma54 · 24/08/2025 11:13

Let’s see now, what could I have? I’m on chemo so my digestive system is fucked. I’m going to have white toast and marmite, some strawberries and yoghurt and a packet of barbecue hula hoops. Lunch will be a few hours later, probably a fish paste sandwich and a cream cake! Yum!

Jellycatspyjamas · 24/08/2025 11:10

I made jam donut muffins for breakfast along with a coffee with cream. And I’ll be eating at lunchtime too (homemade soup with cranberry and walnut bread). And I’ll have dinner too (pork Milanese). I love lazy Sunday food.

So good it posted twice 🐷

A slice of bread an egg and some berries. Oh and some yogurt.

After the gym of course and you won't eat for another 9 hours.

Wow what wanton luxury your Sunday morning are ! I'm sure we all aspire to this ....

🙄

Had to chuckle at this 🤣

Why is this in AIBU?

mbosnz · 24/08/2025 11:07

I love our Sunday breakfast! It's at the other end of the health spectrum. DD is home from uni', and made us breakfast in bed - waffles with whipped cream, blueberries and maple syrup. Yum. . . I was ever so good, I only had one. . .

Catterbat · 24/08/2025 11:05

I prefer a bacon buttie with my Sunday cup of smug, but whatever.

IMissSparkling · 24/08/2025 11:04

You can keep your bogging fancy breakfast. I had some toast and a banana. I'll eat again at lunchtime, like a normal person.

CountryQueen · 24/08/2025 11:00

Keto granola and rooibos?

What in the generation alpha is this shite?
