No such thing as breakfast pudding

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

DS1 likes breakfast pudding too, he usually means a vitamin candy (chewable multivitamin) or sometimes he has porridge or cereal and then is still hungry and wants a jam sandwich or some strawberries or grapes.

I do it too, breakfast and coffee first, and then fruit and yoghurt after.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay but if you replace the old bag of frozen raspberries with another bag of frozen raspberries how are you clearing space on the freezer Grin?

Well DS maintains that “breakfast dessert” is definitely a thing, which is the same but more Mc

Isn't the proper definition of dessert 'fruit course', in which case, what happens if you have fruit as your main for breakfast?

I love a breakfast pudding!
2 slices of toast-first one with eggs, second with marmalade!

This reminds me of the Lord of the Rings in the first (I think) film when they're just on their second day of the quest and one of the hobbits asks when it's time for Second Breakfast...

I think pudding should be eaten at any time during lockdown. Dinner pancakes are a thing now.

DS would disagree with you - the last couple of times we went to a hotel which had a buffet his favourite part of the whole holiday was the chance to have 'breakfast pudding' everyday.

GrumpyHoonMain · 04/04/2020 15:20

Yoghurt, sweet muffins, sweet cereal etc are all desserts

cannotmakemymindup · 04/04/2020 15:22

I don't really eat breakfast unless it's puddings or dessert. Cakes, pastries, leftover trifle, crumble, gateaux, patisserie....

You can eat sweet things at breakfast, but it's not pudding. Breakfast is the last bastion of old-style meals where sweet and savoury dishes can all be on the table at once, and can be eaten in any order you like. Like some splendid medieval banquet. When staying in a hotel, if that is ever possible again, I quite often start off with something sweet (some fruit and yogurt, say) and only move onto my "main course" after that. I suppose if I have a corner left to fill, then I might have a little something else, which might like a little danish pastry or a muffin. I wouldn't think of this as pudding though, for some reason.

Since lockdown i don't fancy lunch any more as I'm not as active, so I've been having a late double breakfast..(Cereal and toast) then dinner later

MrsJBaptiste · 04/04/2020 16:03

I had breakfast pudding this morning!

4 rashers of bacon, 2 eggs, 1 hash brown & a piece of fried bread washed down with a cuppa and a jammy dodger 😁

Greedy? Definitely but I haven't needed to eat since so will save myself for wine and a pizza later 👍

Callo · 04/04/2020 16:08

Yum sounds nice

HaveAtEm · 04/04/2020 16:18

Left over trifle for breakfast is the best 'breakfast pudding' 🥰. And cold apple crumble (or any crumble to be fair 👍) comes a pretty close second!

Of course, if we are talking savoury, there's the god of breakfast pudding that is Black Pudding...with a smear of English mustard, crispy back bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, fried eggs and a pile of crispy fried bread 😂

God I'm salivating like a street dog now!

Mark Twain said that if you wanted to eat well in England, you must have breakfast three times a day.

CarolHasAnotherUTI · 04/04/2020 16:55

I didn't have enough milk for porridge last week, so I made a baked oat and plum crumble style thing.

I stopped short of having it with custard though...

nocoolnamesleft · 04/04/2020 17:06

Porridge made with hazelnut milk, raisins, cinnamon and maple syrup is most definitely a breakfast pudding.

0blio · 04/04/2020 17:12

Yes @Sonichu - sliced dumpling!

miaowmiaowmiaow · 04/04/2020 17:19

From the chocolate museum in York.

I rest my case.

No such thing as breakfast pudding
Davros · 04/04/2020 17:32

Like a previous poster, if I have two slices of toast my starter slice will be with marmite and my pudding slice will be jam or honey.

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

Sainsbury's did - still do - a thing called Pork Breakfast Sausage. It's a kind of processed smoked cooked sausage meat and it comes in packs of 18 slices. It used to come in three or four inch long chunks off the main "sausage" and at Christmas my mum would order a whole sausage (about a foot long like an Italian salami say?). My brother and I would fight over the skin as you could scrape off extra bits of the meat from the skin. I have never eaten it for breakfast and generally just eat it on its own like a rabid dog. It doesn't work (for me) in a sandwich because it's horrible with butter. No other shop does the same thing. DH knows better than to go near it. They also did a thing called Pork Breakfast slices which were related somehow but you could could cook them like bacon. We did have those for breakfast.

I could write an essay. Oh. I have.

I really need to get out more... Grin

Wewearpinkonwednesdays · 04/04/2020 17:52

Well there's black pudding, white pudding and fruit pudding to go with a fry up.
Also chocolate eaten as soon as you wake up is the best time to eat chocolate.

In the Netherlands you can get Ontbijtkoek which translates as breakfast cake. It’s a dryish spiced cake which is delicious with a good layer of butter.
