NFR: What goes in your perfect cooked breakfast?

[Somerset Fulham]

Lets say, ten items. Max.

Mine is:

Bacon x2
Sausage x2
Black pudding
Beans (served seperately)
Poached egg
Fried slice
Sautee potatoes
Fried onions

And a black coffee for me.

Perfect!

What about you?

Everything apart from black pudd, tea not coffee, and why serve beans separately?

[TC's Sporran]

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.

...and why serve beans separately?

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

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.

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.

[rogerpbackinMidEastUS]

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.

[Somerset Fulham]

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)

There is always that, they aren't taking that away from me!

I think it's a 'dipping' thing. Especially if the beans have had a little butter added.
