MORNING BREAKFAST / BRUNCH, What's Your Favorite >

Frittata is a favourite of mine (without potatoes) love scrambled eggs and spinach (got to be butter on that toast!) and LOVE LOVE LOVE French pastries but have to watch how many I eat.....id be the size of a house if I allowed myself to eat the 10 that I'd "need"

I really,like veggie sausages and scrambled eggs with a tomato, raw soinach and red onion salad with balsamic glaze stuff all over it.

But!
You can't beat fried eggs on toast with ketchup

Two slices thick sliced toast with Butter and Marmalade, cup of tea with two sweeteners,

Twice a week, bacon sandwich with brown sauce.
Once a month, visit to Morrisons for English Breakfast.

My husband introduced me to the fine flavors of Quiché; nothing anyone in my family had ever made.  Just figured since he was Canadian {foreigner} that was something unique to his family. 
But I loved using my fresh garden spinach and the ability to toss just about anything into one and it was perfection for a Sunday Brunch, or even an evening meal too.

I've never been one for sweets in the morning or anything high in acids so that eliminated most breakfast fruits.  But I do enjoy my eggs: sunny side up on toast - sunny side up on a pancake - sunny side up on some hash browns - sunny side up with a side of bacon; did I say I like my eggs SUNNY SIDE UP    Like my yoke to OOOZE.
I've never been fond of anything smothered with syrup; don't know why, but I just don't care for syrup ...maybe it's just too sweet. But I'll smear jelly on my pancakes or French toast or roll them up around a sausage link or a slice of bacon - like a sandwich.

Nicko - what's that 'BROWN SAUCE' you mentioned on your breakfast menu?

Fever2, there are two brands of brown Sauce witch have cornered the market in Britain, Daddies and HP. I use either, depending what the Wife brings in. They are a mixture of spices and other stuff.

Google Brown Sauce.

4ever eggs sunny side up are the best food in the world
If I'm unable to face a dinner, or I'm feeling a bit blah, I can always eat my sunny side up eggs and yes, that yolk has to burst open.
I actually get depressed if I break a yolk or overcook it.

I wasn't sure you were talking about an actual 'SAUCE' or perhaps a 'GRAVY' ...so I did 'BING' it and found this >

Brown sauce is a traditional condiment served with food in the United Kingdom and Ireland, normally dark brown in colour. The best known brown sauce is HP Sauce, a spicy and tangy variety. Brown sauce is traditionally eaten with meals and dishes such as full breakfasts, bacon sandwiches, chips, and baked beans.
The ingredients include a varying combination of tomatoes, molasses, dates, apples, tamarind, spices, vinegar, and sometimes raisins or anchovies. The taste is either tart or sweet with a peppery taste similar to that of Worcestershire sauce. It is similar to brown sauce marketed as steak sauce in the United States.
A combination of spirit vinegar (or water) and brown sauce, known simply as "sauce" or "chippy sauce", is popular on fish and chips throughout Scotland and other parts of the UK. The sauce itself is reported to have been popularised beginning in Edinburgh.
A recipe for "sauce for steaks," composed of ale, wine, ketchup, pepper, and butter, appeared in an 1862 cookbook published in London.

The English / Irish version of Brown Sauce >
    
The American version of Brown Sauce/Steak Sauce >

Just far too many brand names and unique recipe types to c & p but there's a
plenty to chose from.

Can't do better than HP, IN IT AND ON IT!

What is it with you 'MEN' and your favorite sauces/dressings; my hubby had never had this
prior to meeting me - {becoming involved with a single parent} but once he tried it
...well it became the 'end all - be all' for everything: taco's/burgers/salads/steaks/FF's/he'd even insist that I keep a small jar in his cooler pack so if he had to eat out somewhere he could put some on his burger/sandwich he'd have to order in a Drive-thru! 
Between the two of them {hubby & son} they'd start stashing the jars around the house just so they'd have some in RESERVE ...I never used it unless I made a cold Gazpacho summer salad - which wasn't that often!

What does it taste like? Tomatoey? Chilli? Spicy?

eddie wrote:What does it taste like? Tomatoey? Chilli? Spicy?

Whew, that's a tough one; it's not really a strong tomato flavor parse - but you know that there is some tomato base in there - it's not really spicy at all but it's does enhance raw veggies so thoroughly and that's why I LOVE to make my cold gazpacho salad with it.
Just cut up what ever you have an abundance of and toss in some Frozen: peas/corn {both white & baby yellow}, shredded carrots, chopped celery, cucumber, cauliflower, broccoli, loads and loads of different types of tomatoes, summer squash, and a huge jug of this Dorothy Lynch dressing and refrigerate.  

Just serve it up in a bowl and keep adding more fresh & frozen veggies back into the juice as needed.  We used to keep this on hand for days on end ...it's just that dang good and so delightful on those hot nights when no one wants to eat something warm or volunteer to do the cooking.  
That's the only way I'd eat it; but my son & hubby swore it went with EVERYTHING -

It does sound rather nice - I like the idea of a cold veggie "soup" that you can add to.

We get an awful lot of produce from the US at our local store so I'll look out for it. I'm a bit of a condiment freak if I'm honest, love mustards and sauces and dips.

Have you true any of the Econa sauce range? Living with West Indians / Bajans / Jamaicans my palate insists on these sauces.

http://www.enconasauces.co.uk

Oh, I've very attuned to Asian inspired flavorings and love those sauces.
I'm learning about the Jamaican flavoring from a recent new transplant into our neighborhood {his wife is a grand-daughter of a good friend} so I'll cook up some large amount of chicken breasts and send a chopped up care package his direction and he returns a portion with some additives.   
Sometimes rice - sometimes noodles - often a flavor & seasoning new to my taste buds. He's one of few people that I know enjoy GOAT & LAMB as much as I do.

Yes curried goat is a favourite of West Indians - I used to like ackee, but haven't had it for years.

"returns a portion" Hmmmmmm, reminds me of the 'Carry On Films'.

Have you seen how they slaughter goat and lamb?

Fried bekky is ace

bacon, eggz, sossidges, black pudding, mushrooms, tinned tomatoez, fried bread and fried spudz if there is any left over from previous day.
Thick bread and butter to soak up.
At least 2 mugz strong Yorkshire tea.

Yes, sir; we raised goats: milk and meat and traded our goat meat with a sheep farmer down the road from our farm.  Yipper, slaughter time: pigs, goats, sheep, cow, deer - chickens - ducks - it was what keep all 8 of us fed.

All these things I'm learning; Ok, what's that 'black pudding', something your Mrs's makes up special just for you?

And left over boiled taters - always got saved up for frying the next meal - and mashed tater's left over could become fried patties dipped in egg mixture or made into biscuits!  We rarely ever threw any left overs out. 
Things became a Breakfast HASH = a little of everything that was just 2 small to be one single unit.

   Didn't know Stormee needed an sock puppet to answer his questions for him ...geeze  
Yes, the adults know how to STFW for such things but if his 'WIFE' has her own SPECIAL recipe then that would be only something STORMEE would know ---

My Christmas breakfast is always Eggs Benedict but I like spinach under the eggs and prefer to cook the spinach the night before, no water, just put the spinach in the pan with knob of butter, salt, pepper and nutmeg, then cook until all the liquid goes.  If there is a little left it drains overnight so that it doesn't water down the hollandaise sauce.

Not many people make black pudding anymore, it's easy to buy.

That's why I ask; like what I would think is a 'brown sauce' over here would have been a GRAVY concoction and when Niko gave me some brand names then I had a better grasp of what it was he was referring too.

But it's a line of communication and Stormee and I don't really chat about a lot but this might be something we have to CHAT ABOUT!
Commonality if the sock puppet didn't MIND!

et seq...put in fight club.....

Now that the RIFF - RAFF has vacated this thread ...perhaps the topic may get back on track. 
Yes, the question was directed to you Stormee, since you'd placed the item in your post ...and I was curious as to your wife using an old family recipe or something that was unique just for you - I'm aware of 'PLUM PUDDINGS' and have had some various forms of that but not that name especially = Black Pudding!
I'll await your reply!

some one gave me a red.....whoopee....

sigh.....you just dont have ANY common sense do you....are you DELIBERATELY trying to provoke me......

...no...dont answer that...just let it lay.....

If someone hadn't, I would have.   You posted on the Prince thread after Didge had been utterly disgusting and never put that in fight club, in fact you were all nicey nicey to him.   So for putting this in fight club you deserved a red.

Oh do shut up you old bag, and it was clear to all that again 4everclueless was constantly jumping on threads goading.


Now move on and shut the fuck up

Reading the forum was a pleasure when you weren't here,  it's so much better without a load mouthed, uncivilised, uncouth thug on the forum.   And it smells so much nicer.

PS You have no room to tell others to move on when you bring me into it even when I'm not here, now fuck the hell off and lets go back to a nice forum without the thugee

I doubt many will agree with you sassy, and all you want to do is back up a poster who has been goading all day and you blatantly ignore that.

I make no excuses for what i think of you and being that you are antisemitic and preach hate, then you get everything you deserve stated at you.
I treat you no different to other racists

I doubt many will not agree with me, you are the forum pain.

sassy wrote:I doubt many will not agree with me, you are the forum pain.

Well so far you have only one, the person who has caused all the trouble from the start, the point you again miss and defend.

Now that is what you call double standards

Yea right, you should try reading the repliies to your hectoring over the months.  LOL

sassy wrote:Yea right, you should try reading the repliies to your hectoring over the months.  LOL

That is right replies, as it was 4everclueless that jumped on two threads starting

Like I said, double standards

Well, I suppose you are good at something =  self deceit

sassy wrote:Well, I suppose you are good at something =  self deceit

I am good at many things, but the above is as you always do an invention and a lie.
This is all your whole methodology of debating is around

Well, my lovely little breakfast thread didn't stand a chance; once the Mod Moron and his #1   mini me couldn't stand it and the 'COMPULSION' to destroy just overrides what little common sense they might have shared together! 

**STICK A FORK IN IT**
This Thread Is DEAD~~~ Well, Done Dick Head #1 & #2 --- trolling and goading seem to be your feeding frenzy on this days menu!

just been back and looked at it...seems to me edds dealt with its sufficiently.....

so what can I now conclude


are you and 4ever once again trying to create problems with and between the mods....?

it wont work i can assure you..If nothing else, in general the mods are of one mind.....and one purpose.....

you sassy are one of the first to berate didge (sometimes ...as even he will admit, with reason) yet you expect me to "put up" with 4ever doing a doo doo on me ...and for what for gods sake??

bear this in mind...I could have (mis)used my mod privilidges but I wouldn get that low....but I am NOT going to put up with her nastiness.....

Don't be so fuccking ridiculous, Eds didn't put it in the fight club did she, and nor she should, but you did for a really stupid reason, if you had shut up there wouldn't be a fight.   Get off your high horse Vic and stop seeing things that don't exist

ahh...I see...I should "shut up" and allow 4ever to be an insulting nasty little moo eh?

see things that dont exist ...REALLY...so she didnt REALLY type

"Didn't know Stormee needed an sock puppet to answer his questions for him ...geeze "

I "imagined it" did I....I see...funny how imaginary typing is so easy to C&P, I would have thought it far more difficult.....


what a NICE reply to a post that i made that said

"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pudding


there ya go 4ever....."

and YOU think thats PERFECTLY ok do you.....

Say, little boy ...didn't you flounce off over to the 'Fight Club' with all of your Ass-Swipes; it's getting thick in here with all of your hyena pack arriving from the scent of the blood letting that you've managed to STIR UP with your FOUL behavior !  Sweet Jesus, you need some MEDS, in the worst way!

sometimes...folks can be sooooo dumb.......

if you cant see why i sniped that thread and put the "juicy" bit in fight club...well...I simply despair.....

but...do try to oblige us...AND KEEP IT THERE......

its not like it stops you having any right of reply....If I wanted THAT...I'd just lock it

Anyway @ OP

it scones and jam.... and it should come with Cream ..... heathen
served with a cup of tea...
well one good thing i will say about England is they have good breakfast.

Pancakes and bacon and fruit?
that just seem like random things on a plate with no coordination.


bacon and eggs is my preference, otherwise toast and vegemite
Suicide by vegemite, levels of vegemite

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/05/vegemite-vs-marmite-taste_n_2807624.html

as in all things, the differnece bettwen the Aussie Vegemite and the British version Marmite is that the British version is weak , just a weaker version of the Aussie. Described as 'mild' and 'not as strong', just like Aussies and Brits in general

Back to OP

4ever - British Brown sauce isn't quite like our steak sauce. It's a little bit fruitier and has a different sort of tanginess. I am sorry that I can't describe it better but I hate it. Luckily we can get it over here at our local grocery store so Mr. C is a happy camper. He gets through about 2-3 bottles every 2 months. YUCK. The HP stands for Houses of Parliament btw. Daddies does both a brown and red (ketchup) sauce although it is sweeter and spicer than HP and I have to admit I don't like the ketchup. I prefer Heinz organic.

As to my favorite breakfast I have both a British and American version

1) British - or really Scottish. 2 Eggs sunnyside up, 2 pieces of square sausage, 1 lincolnshire sausage, 2 rashers unsmoked back bacon, tattie scone, mushrooms, fried tomato, heinz baked beans and fried bread. And maybe a crumpet.

I think I am going to cry now.

2) American - 2 eggs sunny side up (scrambled or poached is 2nd), sausage patty, biscuit and proper sausage cream gravy, sourdough toast and a side of bacon done crispy.

In real life during the week, I have a vegetable and fruit smoothie and maybe a hardboiled egg and the above is for once on the weekend.

Now the thread is back on topic we will keep it that way or it gets binned.
Everyone got that?

Fucking good.

Pot of yoghurt, couple of bicuits and a cuppa for me

brunch/lunch often skipped ...especially if I'm doing anything active....otherwise a) it makes me want to sleep and b) gives me gut rot but in anycase something light...a sarnie

evening meal is the days "full meal" anything from a salad to a full roast to a fry up....

later evening ...ie when I've done on here usually a bowl of cereals and milk.....

Not...as my diabetic nurse keeps ranting at me the BEST regime to use...but it seems to work for me OK.....

no nasty blood sugar excursions.....


(funny....how to send your diabetic nurse into fits....tell her you swallow your metformin down with a big swig of "full sugar" coke......then watch her face.... )
