Surely it's ok as a one off... carbs, dairy, fruit Smile
I was feeling poorly and we were late for school.
What's the most random breakfast your DC have had ?

That's fine! Ours had leftover pizza and a croissant during the holidays.

UpstartCrow · 18/04/2018 21:59

Jelly, but in my defence it had fruit in it Grin

We've done scones a time or two - not much different to jam on toast.

DS and I quite like a bowl of baked beans with grated cheese and HP.

Half an Easter Egg on Friday for DD (aged 2) to be fair we had just got back from A+E after she'd had a nasty accident where she fell down the stairs and I was feeling horrendously guilty!

Breakfast at yours sounds brilliant.

mrselizabethdarcy · 18/04/2018 22:02

Sounds lovely! I'm going to copy Smile

IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere · 18/04/2018 22:03

A mug full of peas and carrots.

Noqonterfy · 18/04/2018 22:04

Sounds yummy.

TheMadGardener · 18/04/2018 22:05

I am Cornish.

YANBU to have a cream tea for breakfast.
YABVVVVU to have butter. Scone, jam and cream all that is necessary.

DS (5) asked for houmous and breadsticks during the holidays. I obliged!

He had however been up since 5.45am again so it probably felt like lunchtime to him! Hmm

The smell of garlic at 8.30 was odd to say the least! Envy

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 18/04/2018 22:11

I want that for my breakfast.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 18/04/2018 22:12

Yup, so do I.

randomthoughts · 18/04/2018 22:22

I once found my two had eaten a bowl of prawn crackers left over from the previous night’s Chinese. They enjoyed it!

tinkerbellone · 18/04/2018 22:23

It did look yum. Clotted cream goes out of date soon so obviously must get more scones Wink

I wouldn't even give my six year old scones, butter, jam and clotted cream in the afternoon. They do not need that sort of food. Then again, I wouldn't eat that much sugar in one go either. There is no need for it.

tinkerbellone · 18/04/2018 22:28

HmmI know.
It's a light hearted thread.

No sugar in butter or clotted cream as far as I know, or in scones really! Sounds yummy to me.

Mine (5) has tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches for breakfast at the moment! He’s not keen on your traditional breakfast foods really.

cueominousmusic · 18/04/2018 22:35

Food of the gods.

However, no butter - it cuts down on the amount of clotted cream you can reasonably use.

i could have just clotted cream for breakfast.

DangerEgg · 18/04/2018 22:36

Mmmmm one of my most favourite things in the world!

RomaineCalm · 18/04/2018 22:37

We often laugh at the breakfasts that DC choose on holiday if there's a buffet.

A particular highlight from DD was pancake, croissant and chocolate sauce served with anchovies, olives, cucumber and feta cheese on the side. Envy

MildredHubble88 · 18/04/2018 22:37

Yep, why not? Not like it's every day.

PeapodBurgundy · 18/04/2018 22:38

Poppadom that we'd lazily left still in the bag on the coffee table that DS helped himself to as soon as he walked in the room and clocked them. Onion rings (crisps) left by the bed from snacks and movies in bed the evening before, eaten when he woke up, before he called for me leading me to think there was a ghost upstairs, but that's another thread

He was given actual breakfast afterwards on both occasions Blush

Avasarala · 18/04/2018 22:42

There is absolutely no way to class jam as good for you. The nutrients in it are negligible; it's just warmed up fruit with piles and piles of sugar. Served along with white flour and a pile of fat; there is nothing good about that meal, certainly never for a child.
