Cooked breakfast - what’s in yours?

AnotherDayAnotherUsernameForMe · 27/05/2023 17:44

We have guests for the bank holiday weekend so DH popped to the butchers for sausages, bacon, black pudding, haggis and eggs. I was planning to do mushrooms, hash browns, beans, potato scones and toast too. I am a put everything on the table and help yourself kind of host so whatever combination of the above is upto the individual.

However, a debate has began amongst us all - does a tomato belong on a cooked breakfast?

Yes! Definitely. The full works. But I'm greedy and like variety. The freshness of the tomato cuts through all the meat and stodge.

Infusionist · 27/05/2023 17:49

No. Sour, watery muck that ruins a good breakfast!

Bongosbanjo · 27/05/2023 17:50

Sausage, bacon, fried egg, beans, fried bread and hash browns in our house Grin

Bacon and eggs for me. Maybe toast. I might be persuaded into a hash brown. But any of the rest, no. Just bacon and eggs, a classic for a reason.

It has to have tomato.

Don’t forget the ketchup and brown sauce!!

Canned chopped tomatoes heated up with herbes de Provence and salt. Lovely.

Dacadactyl · 27/05/2023 17:53

Hash browns, haggis, black pudding AND tatty scones! Omg I'd be in heaven! GrinGrin

Pallisers · 27/05/2023 18:04

Fried tomato definitely.

I do sausages, rashers, fried potatoes, black pudding, tomato, beans, eggs and toast - sometimes fried bread - on the rare occasions we have one.

MayBeee · 27/05/2023 18:10

As a vegetarian , veggie sausage , poached eggs , mushrooms , tomato , hash browns and toast ( fake bacon is shit )

FloofCloud · 27/05/2023 18:20

If people want it at my house I'd do

Bacon
Sausages
Eggs
Beans
Mushrooms
Fresh fried tomatoes
Toast

I usually just have sausage and poached eggs for me.
Favourite is porridge with mixed seeds honey and blueberries - but certainly enjoy a good cooked breakfast

Me too.
Last week I was in a B&B for 2 nights, which offerd a full English breakfast. I had bacon and eggs, and toast. Delicious

DrMarciaFieldstone · 27/05/2023 18:24

Can I come?! Sounds amazing

Tomato is allowable but I wouldn’t eat it… too much other good stuff to get full with

FloofCloud · 27/05/2023 18:25

I LOVE fried bread ... but it's pretty naughty lol ... you can grill many ingredients but fried bread grilled is just toast lol 😆

DisforDarkChocolate · 27/05/2023 18:27

Definitely, and I don't even eat them. I'd miss of the black pudding and haggis though.

ApolloandDaphne · 27/05/2023 18:31

I love tomato with a cooked breakfast but the beans would not be on my menu. Little orange beany fuckers spreading their orange beany juice everywhere and ruining a lovely breakfast.

lingo · 27/05/2023 18:32

Potato scone, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, links sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, tomato, hashbrown, white toast and butter, orange juice, cappuccino...and absolutely no beans!

Watto1 · 27/05/2023 18:33

No to tomato and beans. They contaminate the rest of the plate! My ideal cooked breakfast would be poached egg, bacon, decent sausage (I’m quite particular about sausages), hash brown, fried bread, mushrooms, black pudding and brown sauce. Feeling peckish now!

ElizabethBest · 27/05/2023 18:36

On my ideal one -
bacon
sausages
beans
scrambled egg
toast
fried potatoes

on the ones I actually make, because DS and DH outnumber me so theirs wins-
sausages
poached eggs
beans
avocado
halloumi
tomatoes
toast
