What do you eat for breakfast?

Fried egg in olive oil on a crumpet. Do you say crumpet in other parts of the world and please not the derogative use of the word ?Oh I could put that in the post Homonyms?

I've never heard anyone here say "Rasher." And no one eats one slice of bacon do they? People who eat bacon eat several slices.

No probs @hollydolly I will go with my O/H what does it matter. I just want to make his life more comfortable . I am a believer that we are put in certain situations for reasons, so what we have we deal with - if that makes sense, is what we have to deal with. 🤗 🤗
 
Started maybe 40 years ago with same as I eat now. Make a mix of fresh fruit for a fruit salad. 1lb. grapes either red or green seedless, handful of raisins, two apples, two oranges, large can of pineapple tidbits, seedless medjool dates. No salt, no fat, good fiber.

Close to 80 now, just saw my Doc. got an excellent overall health rating.

How long does that last you ?
 
Today it will be a serving of steel-cut oatmeal mixed with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter and a half tablespoon of maple syrup ... and maybe a tablespoon of roasted sunflower seeds. Along with a cup of fat-free skyr yogurt and coffee it's a common breakfast in this house.

My favorite would be a toss-up between pancakes with real maple syrup and a side of HOT breakfast sausage or a slice of leftover pizza.

Breakfast can be almost anything for me.

Some days it is leftovers other times it's a toasted English muffin with a microwaved egg, a bowl of cereal with almond milk, etc...

I do try to work in at least one vegetable with my breakfast today it was a couple of small chunks of sweet potato other times it could be broccoli or mushrooms scrambled with an egg, a glass of tomato juice, etc...

sausage, egg, cheese biscuit, or my favorite refrigerator overnight oatmeal, or just egg and fruit with a cup of coffee. Coffee always is a must.

We don't have a particular breakfast that can be classified as our favourite, but the breakfast menu in our house is extensive.

- Toasted bacon, tomato, and aged cheddar cheese sandwiches
- Bacon & eggs
- Hashbrowns & sausages
- Denny's Restaurant style Moons-over-my-hamy
- French Toast
- Pancakes
- Waffles
- Egg Omelettes
- Tasted Denver sandwiches
- Toasted egg sandwiches with jalapeno and cheddar
- Yogurt and fruit
- Hot cereals (oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, Sunny Boy, Red River)

Problem is our appetites aren't what they used to be, and a good number of days we just enjoy a few cups of coffee with a couple slices of toast.

I try to have protein, carb, fruit and dairy of some sort in the morning. Sometimes it is just protein and carbs, or just dairy and fruit. And coffee.
