Crumpets with butter and jam (as a treat) today.

Obviously I make them myself, as I keep an army of pigmys (similar to oompa loompas) in a cupboard under the stairs, as their little fingers are the perfect size for achieving the desired little holes in the top of me crumpets.......

One of my fave brekkies is actually a cinnamon raisin bagel toasted and buttered (sweet tooth you see)

What's your fave breakfast fodder - a full english?

Homemade muesli with your own sunripened raisins and home grown oats......?

Or fruit for the healthy option?

Don't have it very often at all, but a good fry up is a great start to the day! Fried egg, grilled bacon, sausage and tomato served with toast. Might have a treat at the weekend and cook up a storm!

This morning I had a toasted hot cross bun with a smidge of butter on it. I also had a yoghurt. All very nice.

My favourite brekkie must be scrambled egg, bacon and mushrooms, with toast. And about a gallon of coffee. So that's just for weekends.

My favourite breakfast is the one Mr Saz made me on the day he proposed to me....smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels.

I've broken my tooth so I'm on soft foods at the moment. Therefore breakfast is just a couple of Weetabix.

I don't have the same thing every day - sometimes I'll have cereal, sometimes a turkey rasher sandwich with brown sauce, and at weekends I might have WW spaghetti on toast.

I love Eggs on Toast - poached or scrambled.

I do love a full English too - bacon, sausage, eggs, toast, mushrooms, hash browns, beans.

Although this morning my car broke down very near to a retail park, so while waiting for the RAC I popped into McDonalds for a Sausage and Egg bagel - which was very good, I have to say.

Eggs in any form are my favorite brekkie!!

I also enjoy a bacon, egg, mushroom, sausage at the weekend for a treat - grilled rather than fried though. ooh with hash browns too (I'm drooling a bit now!)

Bacon and egg bagels from Mcdonalds are also really good!!

Fry up definitely! Eggs, bacon, bread, hash browns and a little black pudding. All made completely from scratch. The eggs from the hens we keep in the back garden.

I don't tend to eat brekkie during the week, which is naughty I know, occasionally a bi of museli or yoghurt and honey.

But weekends, I lovelove love eggs benedict for a special occasion. Normal weekends something like boiled egg and dippy soldiers or scrambled egg and beans on toast or croissant and jam, really hungry now

I love a nice banjo sandwich for breakfast, including a nice soft yolk which usually ends up all over my top

Used to have these frozen croissants from a farm shop in Essex. They had to be put in the oven the night before consumption where they would 'proof' and be ready to be cooked in the morning. Not sure if they are readily available elsewherte but they were definately lush.

A Fry-Up has to be Brunch as I can't start off the day eating that much

Lizzy, I do hope you've reared the pig for the bacon and black pudding and butchered it yourself, and have just plucked the potatoes from the warm earth to make your hash browns. And of course, the bread is fresh from the oven, after you've milled the flour from your wheat harvest.

Don't add any salt, now.

I usually have porridge with raisins and cinnamon but sometimes I have 3 slices of toast, one with spread cheese, one with marmite and one with peanut butter as a treat, yum!

I have my own Cow that supplies milk and bake my own bread using Wheat grown in the back garden. I even grow my own Coffee in the greenhouse. It's great being self sufficient.

I'm just off to Asda now in my 6 Litre V8 Hummer to pick up the papers and some choc doughnuts, the Cow loves those..

No, was too busy milking the cow we also have in the back garden in order to get our milk from scratch.

Oh dear, this has taken on a life of its own.

I have been reading through some of the recipes in this forum, I'm definitely going to give some of them a go!

Love a full english, but I don't have it that often - once every few months at the most. So I make sure it's a good one when I do

I love poached eggs on toast after a long lie in on a Sunday. And I really like making pancakes every so often.

I don't eat breakfast during the week, but have started having a couple of crumpets on a Sunday 'morning' Yum!

When I went on a cruise a couple of years ago there was a choice of everything and as I was with people, i'd look odd not having something so tended to have fruit each day. Pineapple, melon and grapes...mmm. Why do I love all the expensive fruit?

Perfect breakfast is a mixture of everything.

Lots of coffee and fruit juice, yoghurt and fruit, bread with jam, croissants, danishes, pain au chocolat, followed by a hot meal of sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash browns and toast. Maybe an omelette too.

Obviously, I have that very, very rarely!
