What do you eat for breakfast?

Yes..like the jam/jelly thing...marmalade can be cheap with no bits in it and very smooth and full of sugar... or better quality with pith, peel etc in it and not so sweet ... and also sugarless...and orange or lemon or lime flavoured..

I hate peanut butter :sick:...we keep a jar in the fridge to catch mice when we get them in the garden shed
 

Just taken a photo of the jam/conserve in my cupboard

In the UK, what exactly IS "porridge? I'm guessing it;s what we in the US call "oatmeal" but per Wikipedia:

Porridge is a food commonly eaten as a breakfast cereal dish, made by boiling ground, crushed or chopped starchy plants—typically grain—in water or milk. It is often cooked or served with added flavorings such as sugar, honey, fruit or syrup to make a sweet cereal, or it can be mixed with spices, meat or vegetables to make a savoury dish.Wikipedia

So, is it oats, something else, or a combination of things? I never really knew.

My favorite meal to eat out is breakfast, and my favorite place to eat breakfast used to be Cracker Barrel restaurants. For those of you not in the US, Cracker Barrel is a kind of down home, old-timey sort of place that serves mostly good old fashioned farm food and plenty of it. Or at least they did before the lockdown. I haven't been there in months and months.

The only thing that distressed me about their breakfast, and I guess it'll never change, is that my all-time favorite breakfast food is fried mush, and Cracker Barrel doesn't serve it. Yup. With syrup. And I'll take some link sausages and orange juice, too.

AFAIK, no restaurant anywhere serves fried mush, not even in the South. They're missing a bet!

If I can't have fried mush, I'll take huevos rancheros, link sausages, biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns and don't forget the orange juice.

For the past few years it's plain steel cut oats with some ground flax, an apple, and some of whatever fruit we happened to have, berries, orange, melon, etc. Every once in a while when available it may be a mix of steel cut and whole oat groats. By the time breakfast rolls around I've already had my limit of coffee...heavy sigh, limit on coffee...

I seem to be someone that can eat the same thing pretty much everyday and not only enjoy it, but look forward to it. Since April lunch has begun to follow the same pattern too. We've been having the same entree pretty much every day because I came up with something that we both really like. Does this mean I'm truly getting old and set in my ways?

I don't think you're sticking to the same things to eat most days has anything to do with age. You like what you like. At least you're not forced by blind habit.

If you tire of it, you'll come up with something new. Bon appetite!

Your mouse traps would work better with prune or banana for bait. All rodents have a sweet tooth. I put peanut butter on a rat trap years ago when I had a big rat that visited the kitchen. It didn't work. But after I read about rodents' craving for sweets, I put a piece of banana on the tray & a few seconds later, while I was walking out of the kitchen, SNAP.
 
Very little usually. Today I did have a bowl of cereal. I like having toast or bagels, but had to get rid of the old toaster when I moved. I have not bought a new one yet. That will be down the road.
I do like eggs, but do not usually like making them in the morning, so often will have some for lunch.
 
Since we were sent home from working in Africa back to Texas in April of this year, I usually eat a homemade Tamale we get from local ladies who make them out here in far West Texas.

For the previous 8 years in Nigeria, I ate Beans & Rice almost every morning at least 5 days per week. On weekends ms gamboolgal would cook up some eggs and toast and sometimes with Ham (from Europe or USA) from the Camp Cafe.

We could not eat the local meat and/or the Bush Meat - Open Air Markets and what we could get at stores that was packaged was not too good.

We could get Rice in Nigeria that we would wash thoroughly to get all the bugs out. We usually got the Royal Stallion in big ~ 15 lb sacks.

We would bring over and have sent over in our Annual Shipment Camelia and Blue Runner Beans in the 1 lb packs by the dozens - I favored Reds, Pintos, and Lima's.

We learned to adapt and make do....

Once we get retired come 1-Jan-21, I imagine I will go back making Oatmeal and/or Cream of Wheat early in the mornings. ms gamboolgal likes the way I make it....ha

the peanut butter with a tiny piece of chocolate works every single time (y)
 
Usually eggs and bacon or sausage. No toast or potatoes. Maybe cheese, salsa, onions, peppers or mushrooms, (one of them or all of them) depending on if I make an omelet. Sometimes cream cheese or sour cream included.

I’ve tried oatmeal many different ways. It‘s okay but not something I look forward to. I’ve tried:
honey and pumpkin pie spice
honey and cinnamon
chopped nuts
fruit like blueberries, peaches or my favorite baked apples
a drizzle of olive oil and chopped sausage

what have you tried?

I do not eat it anymore, but I used to add cinnamon and real maple syrup to it and cook it in almond milk instead of water.
 
This morning I had one crumpet, with thick Anchor butter,
But most day I just have a banana .....
