so what's for breakfast today?

hamburger's breakfast special :

- glaze sweet onions , mushrooms and zuchcini in a bit of olive oil and plenty of unsalted butter over low-medium heat ,
- add sliced , boiled potatoes and chopped up double-smoked bacon ( other b'fast meat will do in a pinch ) ,
- let it stew for a few minutes - don't rush it !
- when it has all nicely browned - but not burned - add two slightly beaten eggs .
- let sit for a few minutes ,

- serve on a pre-heated plate ,

- on the side : dense-dark rye bread , nicely buttered - with liverwurst - cheese ... or whatever you like .

- a cup of strong ( instant ) coffee - sweet and creamy .

- usually keeps me going for a little while .

- allow about 30 plus minutes to get this all ready - you need patience - can't rush this - the onions , mushrooms etc. want their time to develop good flavour .

* when using double-smoked bacon i do not add salt .

just a little addition :

i'll sometimes have a piece or two of " pickled finnish herring " ( they call it MATJES but it is not matjes but a sweet-and-sour pickled herring ) on the side .
it fires up one's appetite for sure .

scallops sauteed in butter/garlic/lotsa lemon
side of sourdough toast with chunks of garlic in it
nice tangy chili sauce (the canajun country style, not tex-mex chile)

Sounds really good. I had pancakes.

hamburgboy, I love those matjes herrings. Glad you reminded me about them, I must pick up a jar. I also like the Vita brand herring in wine sauce (which is not really a wine sauce). I'm more likely to have herring for lunch, or as a snack, not for breakfast.

Your "special" sounds delicious--for me that would be dinner. I'm not that hungry in the morning, and I want something fast and easy. But I might try your recipe one night.

Toast.

choc-chip cookies.

On toast.

left-overs :

1/2 smoked pork-chop , dumplings with gravy , topped with a couple of fried eggs - bit of coleslaw on the side

strong and sweet coffee

( no toast )

Fish soup - spicy sardines, onions, stewed ital tomatoes, some enchilada sauce, broken spaghettini bits, lots of parsley.

For a couple of days I had my most favourite breakfast every morning (on the Cotentin peninsula, Brittany, France):

croissants, Brioche, pain, jams and marmalade, orange juice,
coffee ...


... and a fantastic view over the ocean (with a 'natural end' at the Channel Islands)

If you're trying to make me jealous, Walter, I have to say mission accomplished Glad to see you enjoying the good things in life.

a fresh onion bun with la vache qui rit herb cheese

asparagus

<sigh>

Ah, Osso, when you talk about food there's a tone of artistic expression that is so authoritative. Spicy sardines....broken spaghettini bits....My pulse is faster.

whole grain bread with really good old cheddar and chunks of Campari tomatoes - melted under the grill

sooooooo good

the tomatoes have that kinda sweet skunky taste that is soooooo real

cucumber slices, cheddar and smoked turkey on toast rusks

mebbe a bit too much horseradish for breakfast

We took a friend out to eat last night. Filet Mignon and for dessert the most sinful carrot cake (it looked like cheese cake). I gained two pounds (hope it's mostly water). Now we are afraid to eat breakfast. All inhibitions.

Why in the world has this thread ended? I have yet to confess my love for lox and breakfast time.

I still like lox.. talk to us, JL..

JL is frozen into not being able to communicate with us because of computer fear. He has a doctorate, but still.

I'm a mess on all that but I could help, but not in the same city. I would much love to help.
