Christmas breakfast - what do you have?

[Ivykaty44]

I was being told today that it is an old custom to have cheese and pickles in the midlands

so what traditions do you have in your parts of he country

we have bubbly and coissants

pain au chocolate & bucks fizz

A glass of Bucks Fizz is all, not like a bottle of Baileys or anything! And then nothing till lunchtime.

I make scotch pancakes, crispy bacon and maple syrup and a big bowl of fruit salad (melon, orange, mango and grapes)

Either bacon bun, crumpets or toasted teacake [northern]. havent decided which this year.

Champagne, croissant, pain au chocolat, fruit and smoked salmon. Eggs for anyone who wants.

Crazy - with the alcohol and cooking thing, Mum and I have the turkey all stuffed and ready for the oven the day before, all the veg peeled and prepped, the stock made for the gravy, cranberry sauce made ahead etc - so there really isn't a huge amount to do on the day itself.

We don't keep quaffing all morning, probably have 2 bottles between 6 adults at breakfast and then nothing more until a drink before dinner at about 1-2pm. Unless we go to friends for a drink! I have been pregnant and BF a 5 month old the last 2 years though so have every intention of getting pleasantly pissed this year

Nigella's Christmas morning muffins here too

Tea & croissants, then move on to champagne and Quality Street.

we have bacon sandwiches on homemade bread rolls, mmmmmmm......

roll on the 25th...

Cinnamon rolls and coffee - followed by champagne (asap)

pain au chocolate and bucks fizz.

Ds will have chocolate.

Panettone & coffee

Coco Pops - which I've had every christmas morning since I was 10!!! So refined.

Muffins with jam, panettone or stollen, or choc croissant, depending on what I've remembered to get in.

In the past have made an effort with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs etc but I find no one really fancies them that much... you just want to sit around with coffee and cake.

I just have what I have every day,half a bowl of rice krispies(if i am lucky) and a luke warm coffee!

I normally don't bother but I'm doing smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with Bucks Fizz this year for PIL. By the time I'm cooking breakfast I've normally scoffed loads of chocolate from my stocking so I'm not hungry .

Nigella's pear and ginger muffins are yummy for breakfast too so I might make those.
