What is the ultimate breakfast?

[-]

ComfortableAlone7876@reddit

Fruit n fibre, I love the texture of it and it's already sweet enough as it is. It even makes the milk sweet.

[-]

DocMillion@reddit

You sound surprised - it's 24% sugar... It's not health food

[-]

ComfortableAlone7876@reddit

I know it's full of sugar lol, but there's far worse out there. That's exactly why I don't add anything else to it.

[-]

Wild_Region_7853@reddit

My grandad will be turning over in his grave to hear that. He has fruit and fibre all the time when I was a kid and I’m sure it was because it was healthy

[-]

No-Accident6125@reddit

Full English which I am just about to make

[-]

West_Yorkshire@reddit

Bacon and hashbrown butty with ketchup and a brew.

Simple, easy to make, satisfying.

[-]

AsbestosFuck@reddit

Other than a fryup, cold leftover pizza and a coffee is #1.

[-]

springsomnia@reddit

Nothing beats Irish fry with farls, and a strong cup of tea of course.

[-]

morris_man@reddit

Yoghurt, granola, raspberries, blueberries, banana, honey preferably from Meads Farmhouse Kitchen

Oh! and a large Americano

[-]

Dangerous_Day1911@reddit

Came back to say this, over a smoked salmon everything bagel with loads of cream cheese????? Nahhh. Not a chance. Yoghurt???

[-]

Cemaes-@reddit

Salmon and cream cheese sounds horrific too mate!

[-]

Dangerous_Day1911@reddit

I thought so too, then I tried it and it was lush. You have to be in the mood for it tho. Still better than yoghurt

[-]

Cemaes-@reddit

I'd have to disagree. Anything would be better than fish for breakfast 🤮

[-]

Dangerous_Day1911@reddit

Absolute lunacy. Over a hash brown? Or pancakes and bacon with syrup? Or fancy French toast? Bloody yoghurt? Not having that like.

[-]

2 pork and apple sausages 2 eggs (scrambled or fried) 2 crispy bacon 2 hash browns Baked beans One thick slice of black pudding Fried mushrooms One tomato sliced and fried One piece of buttered toast One piece of fried bread Coffee Orange juice Salt and pepper Ketchup Cigarette Blowjob

[-]

rumham_milksteak@reddit

Sugar Puffs innit

[-]

TheZestyPumpkin@reddit

Rarely have it since I mostly can't be bothered to make it but on the odd occasion I do.

Some form of posh bread, sliced. Couple of slices of streaky bacon, halved small tomatoes (any will do but Tesco do some ridiculously nice Sugarbelle tomatoes) and sliced avocado. Drizzle with a small amount of balsamic vinegar and it's one of my favourite things to eat.

[-]

Cemaes-@reddit

My breakfast of choice when I used to live in Vietnam was xôi (sticky rice) or bánh mì and a cà phê sữa nóng (coffee with condensed milk)

[-]

Candy_Lawn@reddit

my favourite is juevos rancheros, which is tortillas (or toast) topped with chilli and 2 fried eggs. make a big batch of chilli the night before just for this very reason.

[-]

TartanGuppy@reddit

Full Scottish (bacon, eggs, sausage, black pudding, haggis, beans, and tattie scones)

Orange juice and a Pot of tea (at least 2 cups worth) and toast

[-]

jessietee@reddit

I don’t like haggis with mine and it has to be with a can of Irn Bru but I agree, Scottish fry up is easily the best.

[-]

Bwca_at_the_Gate@reddit

The Welsh know that the Scottish breakfast is the best breakfast. Absolutely outstanding.

[-]

Rare-Abalone-6839@reddit

Needs fruit pudding!

[-]

h00dman@reddit

Of course Scotland invented fried fruit as a breakfast 😅

I mean I'll try it!

[-]

Rare-Abalone-6839@reddit

It's bloody delicious!

[-]

TartanGuppy@reddit

You got me on that, please add as a late admission to the order

Also realised that I wouldn't have complained about a bit of Lorne/Square/Slice (that's another discussion as to it's name)

We're going to need a bigger plate!

[-]

Rare-Abalone-6839@reddit

Yes. Definitely Lorne sausage. Can't not have that. Brown sauce??

[-]

AlephMartian@reddit (OP)

Gets a vote from me!

[-]

CharringtonCross@reddit

Bloody Mary. Devilled Kidneys on toasted sourdough, with a side of bacon and eggs. Bloody Mary. Coffee. Toast and marmalade. Coffee, Bloody Mary.

[-]

Perfect_Confection25@reddit

Ulster fry.

[-]

salutdamour@reddit

Yesss elite breakfast

[-]

Perfect_Confection25@reddit

Makes a pretty decent dinner or tea too!

[-]

mr-seamus@reddit

Black coffee.

[-]

redmamoth@reddit

Intermittent fasters checking in

[-]

redmamoth@reddit

Bacon, sausage, egg (runny yolk) with brown sauce in a big old white bap!

[-]

BoulderBrexitRefugee@reddit

Chorizo hash — been making the Delia Smith recipe for decades now and it never disappoints.

[-]

petrolstationpicnic@reddit

Or y’know, Mexico, where rancheros is actually from…

[-]

BoulderBrexitRefugee@reddit

Much of the American southwest was part of Mexico…

[-]

dancingcab@reddit

This looks delicious. Just looked up the recipe. It's on the BBC. Thanks for the inspiration.

[-]

JoeDaStudd@reddit

Depending on my mood; my bastardised veggie breakfast (Glamorgan sausages, cheese Staffordshire oatcakes, bubble and squeak cake, beans and toast), everything bagel with Philadelphia and cucumber or American style pancakes with maple syrup.

[-]

ImpressNice299@reddit

Coco pops and gold top milk. Can’t be beaten.

[-]

Silver-Machine-3092@reddit

Hotel buffet breakfast is the ultimate breakfast. Where else can you have a five course breakfast?

[-]

Final_Flounder9849@reddit

Espresso, gauloise and a side helping of existentialist angst.

[-]

Cool_beans4921@reddit

For me it’s stack of thick pancakes with butter and syrup 🥞

[-]

AlephMartian@reddit (OP)

How about some streaky bacon on top…?

[-]

Silver-Machine-3092@reddit

And blueberries

[-]

interfail@reddit

Thought your lot fucked off after that kerfuffle with the tea.

[-]

cankennykencan@reddit

Eggs and bacon. Nothing fancy. Fills you up and nothing goes better together

[-]

mcdonalds69whore@reddit

Black coffee and a cigarette

[-]

Amazing_Chocolate140@reddit

Porridge

[-]

petrolstationpicnic@reddit

Filter coffee & a bakery croissant!

[-]

el_diablo420@reddit

For the body - Overnight Oats with frozen fruit and protein powder

For the soul - Bacon, egg, sausage patty and hash brown sandwich, on a soft fresh roll.

[-]

petrolstationpicnic@reddit

Downvote for adding protein powder

[-]

KeepOnTrippinOn@reddit

Sausage, egg, black pudding and mushroom butty with a bit of brown sauce please.

[-]

Mexrish@reddit

I have been introduced to Chilaquiles. Mexican breakfast. Divine.

[-]

petrolstationpicnic@reddit

Breakfast nachos can fuck off

[-]

nigeltheworm@reddit

Yes!

[-]

theegrimrobe@reddit

love me a full irish

see also cold cheese and tomato pizza or cold vegtable chow mein

[-]

Caveman1214@reddit

Ulster fry hands down, ironic you missed it from your list

[-]

SolitaryHero@reddit

Probably an unpopular idea, but I like dinner for breakfast. Used to work nights and would wake up to a prepared dinner. Sunday lunch for breakfast? Lasagne? Rogan Josh? I loved it!

[-]

NebCrushrr@reddit

Hungarian breakfast has the usual pork, eggs etc but also slices of raw green pepper, it goes so well!

[-]

NebCrushrr@reddit

Downvoted by anti-pepper action :(

[-]

bonjajr@reddit

Bacon, toast, fried eggs, hashy B’s, sausages and beans

[-]

itsYaBoiga@reddit

Cigarette and an energy drink.

[-]

Daisy_bumbleroot@reddit

Eggs benners

[-]

CherryLeafy101@reddit

A fry up of course.

[-]

cdca@reddit

Kedgeree or Eggs Benedict. I love a Full English for lunch or dinner but I have no idea how people can stomach something so greasy and heavy after they've just woken up.

[-]

Beneficial-Essay-857@reddit

That’s why you gotta hang out for as long as possible and go for caf for about 10am! As I’m normally up at 5 it’s not too early

[-]

tmr89@reddit

Maybe a fryup, like this

[-]

DaveBacon@reddit

That looks delicious!

[-]

Double-Explanation35@reddit

Perfect, except I would get rid of the tomato!

[-]

Current_Ad_8567@reddit

Can of monster and a massive blunt man

[-]

Careful-Life-9444@reddit

Overnight oats,

[-]

Fit_Champion_6217@reddit

In the 90s it was a stella and a marlboro light

[-]

FenianBastard847@reddit

Black coffee and a cigarette

[-]

LionLucy@reddit

Poached egg on buttered granary toast, lots of freshly ground pepper. Fresh cup of filter coffee.

[-]

Wild_Region_7853@reddit

Very specific but my auntie makes a bread and butter pudding with croissants instead of bread and it’s amazing having the leftovers for breakfast

[-]

Affectionate-Rule-98@reddit

Marmite on toast and a cuppa

[-]

saz2377@reddit

I have a cheese and salami toastie for breakfast before work but occasionally have a second breakfast of chicken burger with siracha mayo!

[-]

bishibashi@reddit

Irish fry, with black AND white pudding

[-]

moon-bouquet@reddit

Ah, the Ulster Heartstopper!

[-]

Cobra-_-_@reddit

And farl bread!

[-]

ebonycurtains@reddit

We usually have a mix of full Scottish and full Irish when we can so we get black pudding, white pudding, haggis and tatie scones. Butteries are also great but idk if they’d survive the journey south to Yorkshire.

[-]

EnterJakari@reddit

Can't beat a good old-fashioned bacon and sausage sarnie, especially with a bit of tomato sauce

[-]

MintyMarlfox@reddit

Add eggs and black pudding as well.

[-]

discustedkiller@reddit

Be rude not to invite mushrooms and tomatoes to the party.

[-]

cornishpirate32@reddit

Tea & Toast

[-]

frikadela01@reddit

Full English

Or what's known here in Bradford as an Asian or desi breakfast. Chana and halwa puri. It's a chickpea curry and a sweet semolina based dish that you eat with a puri which is kind of like a thin fried round bread. It's amazing.

[-]

FletchLives99@reddit

Asian hotel breakfast buffet.

Specifically, I love curry for breakfast. So, roti cannai (Malaysia) is great. But Thailand, Sri Lanka and India also do great curry breakfasts.

[-]

Accurate_Prompt_8800@reddit

Omg, this!!

I gained about 10kg eating laksa curry, roti and noodles for breakfast in Malaysia…

[-]

FletchLives99@reddit

So, so good tho

[-]

Cobra-_-_@reddit

Maybe change username to FletchDies999 😉

[-]

kpopera@reddit

You can get frozen paratha (very similar to roti canai) in most supermarkets, but unfortunately the quality is pretty bad.

[-]

GotAnyNirnroot@reddit

I'd have to be a special kind of hungover to eat curry for breakfast.

[-]

imminentmailing463@reddit

I couldn't get my stomach around the breakfast buffets in china though.

[-]

nansonket@reddit

Bacon, Sausage, Scrambled egg, Hash brown, Black pudding, Toast

[-]

Competitive-Log4210@reddit

3 weetabix with a ton of sugar (obviously with milk as well)

[-]

peterhala@reddit

Tunisian hotel breakfast: fresh flat bread, mergez, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, figs, orange, melon & strong black coffee

[-]

Jasjazjas@reddit

Toasted bagel with crispy bacon, fried egg and maybe even a tattie scone, with a wee bit brown sauce. It’s what I want so badly.

However if we end up eating a little later and I fancy going more brunch vibes it’s a toasted bagel with primula, then BLT toppings.

Also can’t beat a full Scottish ( I go bacon, lorne sausage, beans, fried egg, haggis and/or black pudding, tattie scone and/or hash brown, mushrooms and some tinned plum tomatoes. Chuck a wee roll on the side so I can shovel stuff onto it)

[-]

babaG2022@reddit

Shakshuka! With good sourdough and runny yolks

[-]

Remarkable-Wash-7798@reddit

Eggs Benedict or eggs royale if I'm feeling fancy.

[-]

babaG2022@reddit

French toast with poached pears and mascapone 🤤

[-]

ashyjay@reddit

Flat white, fresh croissant, with a Lucky Strike. I've never had a breakfast better than that, so that's the ultimate for me, even though I quit the fags a while back.

[-]

TomL79@reddit

Bacon, Sausage, Fried Egg, Hash Browns, Black Pudding, White Pudding, Fried Onions, Fried Mushrooms, Ketchup in a Stottie

[-]

DocMillion@reddit

Smoked salmon, wilted spinach, and poached egg on good buttery bread

[-]

spattzzz@reddit

Porridge

[-]

Bertybassett99@reddit

The Mrs wakes me up by riding me.

[-]

Affectionate-Boot-12@reddit

Crunchie nut. Ice cold milk. Huge bowl. Massive spoon!

[-]

dank-marvin@reddit

Coffee and a fag

[-]

woodenforests@reddit

Croissant and a coffee

[-]

MrDibbsey@reddit

Pizza, leftovers from a takeaway the night before either cold or reheated one slice at a time in the Airfrier.

[-]

TheChookOfChickenton@reddit

Has to be a pizza from a Turkish or kebab joint as well. Paired with garlic dip. Proper stodge.

[-]

AnAbsoluteShambles1@reddit

There’s nothing like Chinese leftovers for breakfast🤌🏻🤌🏻

[-]

TheLoneSculler@reddit

Full English, specifically in winter with a fire in the fireplace, snow outside and maybe some classic comedy on to start the day

[-]

Scarred_fish@reddit

Porridge and wild berries as a starter, followed by Liver, sassermaet, onions, mushrooms and scrambled egg.

[-]

CartographerWhich743@reddit

Cocoa-Pops with extra cold blue top milk.

Or Frosties. Or Rice Crispies. Or cornflakea. All with cold blue top milk. (And extra sugar if the non-Frosties option)

Or, in a dream, Ricicles with gold top milk.

[-]

Several-berries@reddit

Greek yoghurt with walnuts and honey on it 👌

[-]

TehTac@reddit

I had a mince pie and a banana today, was pretty nice

Top brekkie would be a full english or pancakes

[-]

debsterUK@reddit

Bacon, hash browns, fried egg, beans, toast

[-]

Downtown-Storm4704@reddit

A big American breakfast in England. American pancakes, waffles, bacon and a litre of maple syrup. Heavenly.

[-]

Honest-Librarian7647@reddit

I've eaten far too many poached eggs on marmite toast in my life, yumm.

But the ultimate breakfast has to be a Turkish brekky done well. Eggs, cheese, toms, olives, cucumber, breads, cakes, jams, honey, cold meats, juice, tea (and once upon a time ciggies). Its enough to keep you going for the morning as you wade through the weekend papers..

Honourable shout out to the full English of course

[-]

Nonbinary_Cryptid@reddit

Crumpets with real butter are a treat breakfast for me. Most of the time, I only eat dinner though. Don't want to eat when I first wake up and don't like to eat at work.

[-]

Ginge04@reddit

Bacon Sausage Hash browns Fried eggs Black pudding Mushrooms Fried tomato (none of that tinned shite) Fried bread Baked beans Pot of tea

[-]

AnAbsoluteShambles1@reddit

Sausage , scrambled eggs , fried bread, beans.

Also quite love a bagel

[-]

alloitacash@reddit

Best I’ve had recently was Seoul Eggs from a place called Farm Girl in Kensington. Would be my choice over a full English these days.

[-]

Impossible-Ad4765@reddit

Hands down a full English breakfast. 3 fried eggs (minimum) 1 slice of fried bread, 2 slices of toast (minimum), tinned tomatoes (no skin), beans, bacon, sausage, hash browns, black pudding and a nice cup of tea.

[-]

ChristyMalry@reddit

I think a full UK breakfast should include both Bury and Stornoway black pudding, Lincolnshire sausage, square sausage, sassermaet, tattie scone and laver bread. Add soda bread, potato farl and white pudding for a full North Atlantic Islands.

[-]

CarpeCyprinidae@reddit

Bacon. Sausage. Fried egg. Grilled tomato. Chilli & paprika roast potatoes. Tea.

[-]

Accurate_Prompt_8800@reddit

My favourite homemade one is Shakshuka with chorizo, warm crusty bread with butter melted in. Delicious!

Or a McDonald’s mighty McMuffin (and variants) with a hash brown for a ‘I can’t be bothered’ breakfast that hits the spot.

[-]

AnotherYadaYada@reddit

I used to love a bacon and sausage sandwich or bagel or roll. But my tastebuds seemed to have changed and not keen anymore

[-]

AnotherYadaYada@reddit

I’m loving…

Granola, fresh summer fruits, Greek yog

Scrambled eggs and some toast

Banana on toast

Throw in a McDonalds Double Sausage meal here and there.

[-]

imminentmailing463@reddit

Really good fluffy American pancakes with blueberries in the batter, served with more blueberries and really good maple syrup.

Though a shout out to the porridge thickened with clotted cream I had in Edinburgh once. Incredibly good.
