Crusty bread, real butter and jam, as a rare treat 😋

I cant remember the last time I had jam! I went to the shop for croissants and jam but they didn't have any croissants so I got crusty bread and apricot jam.

It was delicious.

Always brings to my mind's eye someone beating the shit out of avocados.

joesev · 02/02/2020 21:46

@monst I don't think bees are killed in avo production it's just that they are artificially placed to pollinate particular areas ( avo plantations).

My all-time favourite breakfast is a bacon sandwich with ketchup

Sub that ^ leftover takeaway pizza is the best breakfast ever.

Crusty bread is the best! And proper butter! My nan always bought both - she absolutely hated "spreads" - she would cut the bread like a doorstop and slather it in butter. It reminds me of Saturday mornings at her house.
As for jam; it's got to be morello cherry jam for me. Sweet and tart 😋🤤
OMG need to add jam to this weeks shopping!

SilverySurfer · 02/02/2020 22:50

My favourite jam is this with great big chunks of black cherry. Yum.

That's not jam Silvery and you know it. That's fruit spread.

Jam is runny, sweet and redolent of the fruit which begat it. St Dalfour are tart and firm. They eschew everything that makes jam joyful. It's jam for the flagelators, the punishers, the people who hate Jam and all it stands for.

It's no friend of Jam.

ExpletiveDelighted · 02/02/2020 23:15

Jam has no place on toast, savoury toppings only here, soft cheese, marmite, peanut butter, or just plain butter.

OlaEliza · 02/02/2020 23:34

I had jam on toast this morning. When I opened the cupboard to get the jam I did consider marmite but jam is a novelty so I had jam again. Plus I got kerrygold yesterday instead of random Spanish butter and jam on melty proper butter couldn't be resisted.

to be a contender for best breakfast the plate must include at least two out of avocado eggs fried potato and halloumi.

fresh crusty bread and butter and jam is a fine breakfast but would lead to day of bloated misery for me these days.

OP book a holiday in Lyme Regis and go for breakfast at the Town Mill Bakery every day.

Roti canai

managedmis · 03/02/2020 00:02

Sausages, fried egg, beans, white toast cold, marmalade and flora.

elc19 · 03/02/2020 00:04

Crispy bacon, runny fried egg, proper sausage (not cheap cafe sausages, hash browns, little bit of beans and a slice of buttery toast for me 🤤

elc19 · 03/02/2020 00:05

Or two dippy eggs and toast 😇

marylou1977 · 03/02/2020 00:16

Pork roll, egg and cheese on a hard roll with salt, pepper and ketchup 😁

Wallabyone · 03/02/2020 01:15

Mmm, this thread has made me want bread with aaaaalll the butter. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, and I love it!

Top breakfast, in no particular order:

Halloumi, fried egg, thick bacon, beans and a mug of tea.

Thick, fluffy pancakes with butter, syrup, bacon, strawberries and blueberries.

Bagels with butter, cream cheese, capers and smoked salmon and a pot of coffee (had the best version of this at The Wynne in Vegas).

Thick Greek yogurt with fresh berries, granola syrup.

For a light supper tonight, we had roast mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, fried eggs and halloumi with a toasted seeded bagel.

IdblowJonSnow · 03/02/2020 01:18

Eggy bread w brown sauce. Hungry now.

BohoBunney · 03/02/2020 01:36

Bread butter and apricot jam remind me of holidays or premier inns as it’s the only time I eat it. There is something very comforting about that though.

I’m totally addicted to toasted warburtons white thick toastie, butter and marmite at the moment though!

Devilsadv0caat · 03/02/2020 01:39

are the people eating all these avocados aware that thousands of bees are killed in order to propagate them
Yawn. Your eating habits are no doubt killing some aspect of the environment unless you grow everything you eat from scratch.

OlaEliza · 03/02/2020 01:39

I could eat a whole loaf of that!

FoamingAtTheUterus · 03/02/2020 01:40

Cold, leftover Chinese is the best breakfast by far.

Catsinthecupboard · 03/02/2020 01:43

My dh cooks the best rubbery scrambled eggs. I cannot make them like he does. With bacon, buttered toast and my homemade strawberry jam. Favorite meal.

FelicisNox · 03/02/2020 15:20

I love a hot croissant with balckberry/cherry jam and a nice cup of strong coffee.

Preferably in bed, with the window open, with the sun shining in on a Sunday morning listening to the church bells. Heaven!

Roll on spring!Flowers

Cyberve · 03/02/2020 15:28

Really it's anything cooked that you didn't have to make yourself.

But a breakfast that I have to make? Chocolate spread on toast. Grin A lot of chocolate spread of course.

isseywith4vampirecats · 03/02/2020 15:30

my treat breakfast is maple pancakes with crispy bacon fried egg and real maple syrup poured over them heaven
