Aibu to eat pate for breakfast

My DH thinks I'm the only person on the planet who would dream of having pate on toast for breakfast. It was fairly normal when I grew up, my mum used to have it on toast in the mornings.

DH thinks it's a starter meal and that's it. AIBU? It's a great break

YANBU. Is your DH stuck in the 1980s?

Interested in this thread?

YNABU, Pate for breakfast is almost as good as kippers.

Nothing wrong with it. I also like cheese, salami and ham for breakfast.

ShowOfHands · 10/09/2023 14:53

Are you being unreasonable to eat something you want at a time you want?

Er, presumably, no.

Did you snatch it from the mouth of a starving child? Smear it on yourself first?

I’ve not thought of doing it before, but it seems like a great idea. Tasty, gives you some energy, so why not?

It’s no different really to having bacon.

You can blame Mr Kelloggs for the whole idea of having to eat specific/special foods for breakfast!

Eat what you like.

If pizza is good for breakfast (and it is), pate is fine. I’d draw the line at prawn cocktail.

Araminta34 · 10/09/2023 14:56

Pâte on toast is yummy.

SophiaElise · 10/09/2023 14:57

Your husband is weird. You can eat anything you like for breakfast!

YANBU. I sometimes eat salad for breakfast 🥗.

I particularly like holidaying in Germany because of the pate at breakfast. I should do this all year round really.

I would prefer a smoked mackerel pate over a meat but it sounds ok to me…. I no longer eat cereal so tend towards the savoury. I went to an Ivy recently and had the kippers - delish.

Savoury breakfasts rather than cereal was the norm for a long time.

Now I want to get some mackerel pate for breakfast.

EarringsandLipstick · 10/09/2023 15:29

You can eat what you want but oh God the thought of patê for breakfast 🤮

But I'm not a massive fan of it at any time, in fairness.

SquigglePigs · 10/09/2023 15:32

I'd absolutely eat it for breakfast! Or lunch/part of lunch, or a snack - definitely not just a starter!

@ArcticLadybird "YANBU. Is your DH stuck in the 1980s?"

I know I'm going to regret this-but what on earth do you mean?

SM4713 · 10/09/2023 15:35

I do often have it on toast for breakfast. Yum.

ShowOfHands · 10/09/2023 15:36

My son nearly always has leftovers for breakfast. He will happily have cottage pie, bolognese, enchiladas, burritos etc. Likes hot food, loves leftovers, despises cereal. It's always homemade, full of veg and he eats it. It's not the norm but I can't see that it matters tbh.

sugarplum33 · 10/09/2023 15:41

Oooh I love pate on toast for breakfast, what a treat. I'm in the early weeks of pregnancy therefore pate is off the cards for a while yet so enjoy a slice on my behalf! 😋

Classic 80's starter was Melba toast and patÄ—.
Next, he'll be offering you a small glass of orange juice as a starter too!

LBOCS2 · 10/09/2023 16:04

Do it. I love pate for breakfast. I don't do sweet things first thing, and I don't eat cheese so I'm really limited on savoury options - this is absolutely one of my go-to meals.

BCSurvivor · 10/09/2023 16:06

I had pate for breakfast this morning, love pate!
