Favourite breakfast lunch and dinner

46 replies

Out of curiosity:

What is your favourite breakfast, lunch and dinner to cook and eat. It can be anything from something you have every week, to something you only make for special occasions

Bonus points if you've got recipes and links

Inspire me!

Mine would be
Breakfast: scrambled eggs with smoked paprika, and bacon on thick white bread with butter
Lunch: chicken club sandwich with fries
Dinner: pan fried duck with dauphinois, roasted carrots and a red wine sauce.

Delish!

Breakfast- bacon roll with very crispy bacon, and a fresh bakers roll, and brown sauce
Lunch - warm sausage roll and some chocolate
Tea - fish and chips, or, steak pie with peas, and cheesecake for desert.

However usually I have
Breakfast - nothing
Lunch - maybe toast, maybe nothing, maybe some crisps
Tea - usually pasta, or curry, or fish, something homemade.

Not sure if it's very inspirational though op :)

Breakfast: breakfast potatoes, scrambled eggs and maybe some sort of meat if I feel like it or an Ulster Fry (All The Breads)

Lunch: I am a big fan of a good soup

Dinner: curry (namely a dansak, jalfrezi or chilli masala, saag aloo, daal and naan)

I probably wouldn't eat it all on the same day though

Eggs florentine with tea

no lunch - piece of extra mature cheddar if peckish

bbq’d prawns with potato salad and Chablis

Hard to whittle all my favourite foods down into 3 meals! But I'll try...

Breakfast: either waffles with Nutella, squirty cream, maple syrup, bananas and berries OR corned beef hash with home fries and a fried egg from a proper American diner.

Lunch: a proper cheese and pickle sandwich with really fresh bread and strong cheddar, an apple and a packet of roast beef monster munch.

Dinner: an Indian takeaway with chicken tikka pathia, keema rice, saag alloo and loads of popodoms & chutneys, plus a naan bread to have a nibble on. Or steak, chips, asparagus and peppercorn sauce. Can't decide!

Haha 😂 amazing

BreviloquentBastard · 29/03/2023 22:56

Breakfast: Classic Eggs Benedict with a big pot of tea

Lunch: Toasted Ciabatta with smoked mozzarella, green and red pesto, Mortadella, crumbled pistachios, olive oil and cracked black pepper

Dinner: Steakhouse cut ribeye, sous vide, seared and butter basted with garlic and roasting herbs, fondant potatoes, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, parmesan crisps.

Obviously all special occasion foods or I'd be the size of Jupiter.

Reading all these whilst doing the night feed has just made me starving!

Some really good variety I must say 😂

@blueskiesandsun I love that you've added extra meals in there! I'm all for elevenseys and snacks considering I think of food probably 22/24 hours a day

People love a form of Indian / curry for dinner (or tea) don't they

Keep going, love this 🤤
