No such thing as breakfast pudding

[MagentaPolenta]

There’s no such thing as breakfast pudding no matter what time you have breakfast.

The fry-up is the main course, the toast and marmalade is the pudding. More usually cereal, porridge, pancakes are pudding and no savoury course is eaten
(I know you don't have to put sugar in porridge. Or nutmeg.)

If there was ever a time for breakfast pudding, this is it.

Breakfast is a one-course meal unless you're staying in a luxury hotel or one with a buffet. Your DS needs a sharp reminder of where he's currently living, or there's a risk of two-course breakfasts spreading into elevenses, which then collide with lunch, which in turn crashes into afternoon tea which encroaches on dinner, causing it to avalanche into supper.

Before you know it there will be all-day grazing, dirty plates and bowls all over the house and a kitchen that's never clean or even cleanable. That is my idea of hell, personally.

Plus someone will need to shop daily to keep up huge supplies of food. When you are finally released, the grazes in the family still won't be able to leave without building work to widen a doorway, will they?

Put your foot down now before it all reaches tsunami proportions!

Breakfast pudding is black pudding, or white pudding, surely?

I'm like codevillanelle- if I have marmite toast and jam toast, I eat the marmite piece first

I have been known to have a 3 course breakfast in hotels with a buffet. Cereal or muesli then eggs and sausage and then toast with jam

I thought this was going to be about breakfast sausage which I seem to remember from my childhood being a tasty sliced sausage meat

I suppose some people have yoghurt and danish pastries for breakfast do they count as pudding

Breakfast pudding is definitely a thing. When I go out for breakfast with friends, we always have cake for pudding!

Hotel breakfast buffet legally runs this: grapefruit starter; fry up; pain au chocolat or pancakes. YABU.

I had tiramisu for breakfast yesterday.. It was awesome

I'm having a Nutella crepe for my breakfast desert

There’s many different options for breakfast desserts though:
yoghurts
waffles
pancakes
chocolate chip brioche roll
croissants/other bakery items

Served with things like fruit, Nutella, jam, honey etc. Even toast with jam?

Cereal can also be pudding-like if it’s super sweet and sugary.

What about breakfast curry? That was one of my favourite things about my holiday to Sri Lanka...

I used to make homemade rice-pudding with stewed fruit for breakfast sometimes, I’d be up really early (insomnia) and bung it in the oven and it was done a couple of hours later. DD loved it for breakfast.

I always have fruit with breakfast so that’s kind of breakfast dessert.

I known I’ve hit peak Christmas when I’m having a ferror Roche with my porridge. I’m not quite there with lockdown diet yet.

Rice pudding for breakfast sounds amazing.

Ds normally has fruit after his breakfast cereal is that what you mean?

Jack Monroe has a recipe for a sort of carrot cake porridge which definitely fits that description IMO.

@Hoppinggreen desert is not more MC than pudding

My husband, the marathon runner, maintains that there is such a thing as a breakfast pudding....mainly biscuits directly after breakfast, with coffee or tea, mainly at his mum and dad’s house... as his mum keeps a stocked biscuit tin. Can’t say that I get too mad about it tbh.

I see it as a more pretentious word than “pudding” so I imagine someone trying hard not to be wc would use it. It amuses me to hear my 11 year old channel his inner Hyacinth Bucket
Maybe I’m wrong though

currently eating lots of porridge with raspberries, because I wanted to free up some freezer space.
Very puddingy, and delicious.
I had planned to make a fruit compote, but didn't get that far.
Another bag of frozen raspberries next time I'm shopping.

Their kids think every meal needs to be followed by ‘pudding’.

DD thinks this. It has nothing to do with us, we rarely have pudding with any meal. I reckon it comes from school dinners having puddings.

Pudding for breakfast (I.e sweet stuff, waffles etc) perfectly fine.

Having pudding after a breakfast - nope.

My DC has 'breakfast dessert' after breakfast and fruit, everyday
