Breakfast foods...

[dazzer6666]

A) Sausage or bacon sarnie or toast and marmite, and tea or coffee. If I am in the office, Birley in Canary Wharf does fantastic sarnies on thick bloomer bread
B) Full English, must have black pudding and ideally a fried slice

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Your best bet for a fry up is probably the Adlon, but you would pay for the pleasure...

Full English?

 

[Hillian1]

a) Caffeine and nicotine

b) a + fry-up

Are you me?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

And of course, the best breakfast ever was The Pile Up from Harry's in Hove. No one has ever come close.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Full English?

It had every choice going, from the various food stations there.

But was expensive.

I guess it is, their restaurant has 2 stars. Might be worth a trip for a special occasion. Do your energy people put you up there?

That was good. I was also partial to the Market Diner's Mega Gut Buster after a night in the old style , smelly , Hobgoblin. I can't recall if I ever finished it but I ways ordered one, every Friday night for years. Blimey. How did I ever do it?


I can't eat fry ups anymore, or very rarely anyway, certainly not when hungover, these days it's Egg Royale or a spinach omelette to banish the boozy fear.

I suggest you cuRe your own bacon and make your own sausages (I do). This will a) solve your availability problem and b) give you a better fry up than Harry's.

A visit to the Adlon would be interesting ,as Bernie Gunther the fictional hero of Philip Kerr's excellent books was house detective there after the war.

I ate in the main restaurant, rather than the Michelin one, which was very good as well.

Breakfast was 30 Euros I think, we only used it one day, there are 2 other places on Unter den Linden that were not bad (Einsteins and the place over the road from it, on the corner by the Russian Embassy), for breakfast.

When I work in Berlin, we tend to stay in the NH on Leipziger, as it is over the road from their office.

The Adlon was when I went there on holiday last summer, it was very nice.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Hash browns with scrambled eggs or Granola with a crunch corner yogurt mixed in, usually banana and choc.

Fantastic series of books, the Adlon was the first place I wanted to see when I went to Berlin, I didn't get chance to go inside though. That reminds me, I need to get the latest book.

 

[Withdean11]

A) Big bowl of porridge, fruit, and a protien shake.

B) usually the morning after i fight, a big fry up from the local cafe

I do have the Adlon on my list of places to eat so I will visit for sure. As an aside I went to Tim Raue's place a few weeks back. Fantastic and an interesting take on French (technique) and Asian (flavours and ingredients) cuisine. I'm not aware of these books. I'll investigate...my father likes a good detective read so you might have solved an annual Xmas present issue.

I would be interested in curing my own bacon. What do you need, other than a pig?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Normally I'll have granola, fruit all that dull stuff that's good for one, today I went out and I had The American Stack at a local restaurant. 6 pancakes layered with sausage, bacon, fried potato, fried egg . All swimming in maple syrup, with orders of orange and watermelon juices and pot of tea.
A rare treat but it got me thinking that some people eat that every day, some Americans for example.

Anyway, a) what's your normal breakfast and b) whats your treat breakfast?

Hmm. Breakfast is a bit if a luxury for me. I have to do kidney dialysis 5 days a week and I find it best to do it early. Though my session is 2 hours, it takes about 3 1/2 hours to do in total, by the time I've set up beforehand and tidied up after. If I start about 7 I'm done by about 11 maybe, so breakfast is long gone.

On the 2 days I don't dialyse, I'm boring and just have toast (no tea - limited fluid intake with no kidkeys)

 

[TheJasperCo]

95 days out of 100, I'll have porridge with any of a limitless combination of toppings (from yoghurt and honey to mixed nuts, dried fruit, and fresh fruit...to name but a few).

On those infrequent treat mornings, I'll either have homemade pancakes or a fry-up in some diner.

 

[Brighthelmstone]

A: Cup of Earl grey.
B: Full english with extra hash browns and bacon!

damn i'm hungry now....

Berlin Trilogy is the first threebooks (obvs), now available in one volume.

For matters porcine www.weschenfelder.co.uk are very much your friends.

 

[desprateseagull]

2 boiled egg, toast & marmite.

OR

bacon butty, and a banana.

OR

microwave porridge, toast & lemon curd.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

Coffee, croissant and The Guardian is my regular day-starter. Once I've had a black coffee and filed my head with the day's issues I feel ready to pontificate. Saturdays is a trip to Eins for scrambled eggs, ham, salad, bread, orange juice and coffee. I miss a full-English. I'd make my own but the sausages ain't the same and they don't do bacon here.

You can get bacon from the fleischer the box heads eat it raw as they do black pudding, but it`s ok fried as well

 

[Guinness Boy]

Running mornings - one slice of wholemeal toast pre-run and a banana after.

Non run weekday mornings - boiled egg plus wholemeal toast and butter

Saturday treat (going to fire this up in a minute) - smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with lots of black pepper on the eggs,

My body is quite glad I no longer consult for the clients I had in Galway. The hotel there did the best full Irish ever including black and white pudding. And no away day / jolly boys outing should start without the consumption of a full English that ideally includes fried bread.
