What do you have for Breakfast

You guys made me go on a journey back in time. I was "introduced" to Weet-Bix on a school camp some 45 years ago in South Africa. These are a South African made version which I thought funny because they were just like miniature hay bales :)

A few years later we came back to Portugal and I found Weetabix and since then that has been my daily breakfast which I lay 2 bales side by side on a plate, drizzle a little honey over them and a cup of lukewarm milk. They must be eaten while still stiff otherwise I don't like them. When I have to travel somewhere for a few days I take a supply with me and have them with a pack of chocolate milk the same way I do in the campervan.
This has been so for the last 40 years and doing the math, it has been over 29000 bales/biscuits :p I was afraid that Brexit would make them disappear from the supermarkets but fortunately it didn't.
 
Yeah right, dream on lad.

Being mostly veggie I don't have bacon any more, but if I can be bothered I try to have sausage, egg, mushrooms, hash browns and beans or tomatoes at least once on each trip away. Plus the usual toast and marmalade, coffe and orange juice.

There are only two rings on my hob, so I got a split frying pan so that I can keep the mushrooms separate and fry them in butter.

We do when away in the van but usually in a cafe or the rowing club in Hereford it sets you up for the day but at home it’s cereal and maybe a bacon butty for elevenses.
 
Either hot Weetabix or Porridge with a hint of salt.

You've got a cute smile honey😀
 
Breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day. Lunch should be a medium meal and then at teatime, a light meal. Anything eaten after around 7pm will go on as extra weight, unless you work nights or go on a strenuous exercise routine for a few hours in the evening. When I was a kid, that is what we did. We'd have a really filling breakfast, sometimes cooked and then our lunch of a sandwich and a packet of crisps. In the evening, it was just bread and jam or similar.

But now everything is reversed, some miss breakfast altogether and that puts the body into "famine" mode. It starts to lay down fat from the next meal. It is a normal physiological effect. And that is why we are following the Americans in size and weight. And salt and sugar in the same item of food? Another Americanisation and another reason we are becoming a less healthy nation.
