What are you having for breakfast?

[securespark]

I knew several, parents used to run a pub, one was my dad.

That's sad.

I've just had a late brunch. Button mushrooms on toast with fried eggs

Yesterday I had marmalade on toast (has made a recent comeback to my diet) with a glass of orange juice.

It was my favourite breakfast in the 70s.

Don't know why it's been away so long.

That’s not brunch, not at 3.00 in the afternoon. That’s Linner.

So am I but I CBA to thaw it out enough to spread on toast. I must have my toast cold though.

Don't spread it, slice the butter and put it on.

Don't spread it, slice the butter and put it on.

I've never liked it that way. It's doesn't gel together.

I sometimes do but Mrs Mottie says it looks like slices of cheese!

When we go to the Buddhist centre for soup they always give you two wrapped pats of butter with the bread, we take them home and during toasting hold them in ones hand to soften

Poached smoked haddock this morning with a couple of poached eggs.

Followed by………an expresso! Makes a refreshing change from wine first thing.

Decided to have the same this morning but…..disaster! Only thing that could improve on that was toast made with thick cut, home-made fresh crusty bread so I loaded the breadmaker up last night and woke to the lovely smell of a freshly baked loaf. So far, so good. I popped the fish in milk to poach, brought the water to boil to poach the eggs and popped two slices of bread into the toaster. It came out slightly less done that I liked so I popped them back in for a little extra browning. Took two eggs out of the box, dropped one, tried to catch it with the box and lost that egg plus the last two that were in the box! While I was clearing that up, I forgot the toast and that got blackened so had to do another two slices. Final insult, I burst the yoke of my last egg when popping it in the pan to poach. Talk about feeling gutted - I bet Harry Kane is not feeling as bad as I do this morning!

What goes best on a fish finger sandwich. Mayonnaise, ketchup, or tartare sauce?

 

[Mottie]

Tartare sauce with lettuce.

 

[JonathanM]

Tuna mayo sandwich.

I've always preferred it in oil, not brine or spring water. Aldi no drain tuna steaks for 99p are great.

Oi, this is a breakfast thread, stop trying to derail it. I let you get away with it once out of politeness, if you want to talk about fish based sandwiches, start a thread of your own on them!

I'm eating one now for breakfast!

Same with my fish finger sandwich.

EDIT: I'm happy to stop if it's just for more traditional breakfasts.

In that case, I like your style! I’d suggest a nice Chardonnay to go with both of those.
