Black pudding
Beans (served seperately)
Poached egg
Fried slice
Sautee potatoes

And a black coffee for me.
Perfect!

Everything apart from black pudd, tea not coffee, and why serve beans separately?
i have a pal who also insists on having onions with his breakfast. i dont think it goes.
no onions or sautee potatoes or beans
but add in hash browns fried eggs and tinned chopped tomatoes and of course mushrooms.
sometimes at ovenight hotel stays i might add a dollup of scrambled egg.
dab of english mustard on the side just in case.
ive binned the fried bread as my one concession to eating healthy

Well I am very fussy and unless the beans are cooked long and slowly and so reduced, I don't like bean juice running riot over my plate.
I hear you re fried slice, TCS! They must be one of the most unhealthty things on the planet but I love them. I cannot stand mushrooms or tomatoes cooked the way they are in a regular breakfast.
It was a toss up between HBs and sautee for the spud selection, both are good and the latter are rarely available so I probably have HBs more than sauteed.

I await with great interest a definitive answer from our gourmet correspondents.
Always puzzles me why beans are so often served in separate little pots.
I judge any overnight hostelry by its kippers.
Half the time they do not exist at all and if they do then they are usually the ex-frozen variety.It pays to look before you book.
I usually have a bottle of red, with a scotch stiffener
Smoked back bacon,
Fried or poached egg,
Black pudding,
Slice of granary toast,
Beans,
Mushrooms,
Grilled tomato,
Leaf tea in a pot.
Follow with a slice of toast and marmalade (tawny).
Crispy Bacon
Fried Egg (Runny)
Sausage
Baked Beans
Fried Spuds
Fried Bread
Lashing of Tea
Toast.
roll on tomorrow morning my once a fortnight treat.
Generally for me a boiled egg and an oxo cube. Then if i am still hungry some foliage from the bottom of the garden.
All washed down with a Double Hernia.
As I'm a Vegetarian,I find this post distasteful..🤮
You're allowed a veggie one you know!
Having recently been diagnose with Diabetes Type 2,
The only thing I can eat or drink on these lists are;
Eggs (But not swimming in any oil, just a little Canola)
Black coffee.
Toasted whole wheat or grain bread.
Green tea
Apples, Pears zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I really miss
Butter soaked crumpets
Sausage toad
Beans
Bacon (crap over here, no back bacon)
For anyone interested, check "Charcot's Foot Disease" which I have,
a bi-product and caused by diabetes.
Hoping to get a clean bill of health on Thursday, so I can go back to work,
The Ortho Doc needs to cancel the several restrictions he has placed on me.
Kippers

You can still treat yourself from time to time, you just have to be careful. I've been a T1 for 15 years and for a while following diagnosis I allowed it to run my entire life for me, but I slowly bgan to work out that it needn't be that way.
I managed to skip Charcot's and just moved straight on to neuropothy which a right arsehole.
I have had neuropathy for several years now and until the 'they' invent something better
than Gabapentin, I'm stuck with it.
The Charcots thingy just appeared.in December when a .............................
But yes I do treat myself and bend the rules a bit
I do have to wear a large solid boot up to the knee, all th time except in bed or bath.
getting used to it.
I hear you regarding the neuropothy, Gabapentin is far from the answer but I guess at least it helps.
A proper pain for you I am sure, but glad you are adjusting. It is honestly such a bastard of a condition, nothing is safe from it.

You're right. and no one. But I guess there's worse things in life than having
to stop drinking (almost :0)

I think it's a 'dipping' thing. Especially if the beans have had a little butter added.
Just don't get either beans or tomatoes at breakfast. Huge fan of scrambled eggs ,black pudding , bacon , Cumberland sausages and brown sauce - exactly what I had mid morning before driving up for today's game
i think if you walk past a doctors surgery nowadays you are classed borderline type 2 diabetic. i am.
after 2 emergency hospital visits it became apparent that quaffing vodka like water and eating lard etc wasnt gonna let me live to a ripe old age. my older brother was an alcoholic for 20 years. i thought i was. and then i tried to cut out vodka totally and limit myself to the odd can every other day. found it easy. yes life is a bit more boring but you get used to it. i can go in pubs and have a shandy or two whereas before it was full steam ahead until you reach oblivion. i realise some people cant stop. but i was told stop or suffer the consequences.
i looked at that charing cross feet. with my feet i struggle to bend my toes. so i wondered if dr google could pin that one on me. if anything i have too much calcium in me and i get calcification of joints with nerve impingement.
im 62 this year.
isnt old age fantastic?
an older pal said recently its like you are floating in a big sink. on the edge. you pull the plug out and start swirling round and round slowly getting faster and faster as you near the middle. he said now he feels like he is on the edge of the whirlpool spinning round and round about to start being sucked under.
im gonna start swimming more often.
lincolnshire sausages.
but not overdone with the herbs and spices.
if you havent tried them and like cumberlands have a go with lincs.
Hot Sauce.....especially on the eggs.

I can relate to almost all of this, except for the bit where I am still drinking like a fish. Will go dry in February to kick start some ultra marathon training and to prove to myself that I can do it.
The whirlpool analogy is a really bloody good one though.

I once had some chilli black pudding. Now I love a bit of spice but its never appealed to me to have it on a breakfast but this stuff was absolutely amazing!
I have an entire section of my fridge devoted to some of the hottest stuff around but I still can't get my head around having it on a brekkie!
Weetabix , cornflakes and mateys —— in milk — healthy
Tea
Toast, with proper salted butter
Porridge, made with 50/50 water and milk, with a nip of whisky
Black pudding
Poached egg
Smashed avocado
Lincolnshire sausage
Thick sliced back bacon
Then back to bed 😴

Try the little blue pill if you want a stiffener mate.
