What would you have for breakfast if faced with these choices? I'll give everyone a rating based on their answer.
A. Croissant and Pain au chocolat
B. Egg McMuffin and waffles
C. Mushroom and Ricotta panini with hint of pesto and sunblushed tomatoes.
D. Quails eggs and homemade bread with real Seville marmalade.
E. A full English: Egg, bacon, 2 sausages, beans and fried bread.
F. Cornflakes, milk and a slice of toast and Ronertson's Golden shread.

None of them. Firstly, I would NEVER have beans on a cooked breakfast. If I'm on holiday, I might have egg, bacon, mushrooms and toast but definitely no fried bread. I never have a cooked breakfast at home.
I usually have sultana bran topped with and oat-based cereal of fruit with skimmed milk.

Option C is typically chosen by the upper working to lower middle class, particularly those with well planned leisure time.

OK, that sounds about right.

My breakfast is normally toast and marmite. On holiday I would have omelette. On the very very rare occasion I might have bacon, eggs and mushrooms but never beans and fried bread is a definite no no. Apart from the fact its disgusting it is proper heart attack food. some morning i have rice krispies or a yogurt. However this morning breakfast was a bar of Galaxy. So what's all that say about me.

Isn't it what's in your bloodlines that determines your class not wealth or what you eat for breakfast.

From your choices I think you may have a sweet tooth.

I do have a sweet tooth lou and I find these choices are good at
keeping it at bay. Mullerlight yogurts are only 1.5 points on the weigh
watchers points system.
I have also read that people who eat a yogurt everyday live longer

I eat 2 yogurts every day so I should live twice as long
I do too, and my son eats about four!

Pot Noodle is E/F. lower working class.
I went out last night and had carrot and coriander soup followed by salmon fish cakes with chips and salad rounded off with sticky toffee pudding and custard. My girlfriend had the same except for Swordfish steak and potatoes and vegetables as main. A nice posh meal.

I Had some gourgeous Fish cakes last wk at at my GF's grandads 80th dinner. but coz we had to fill out the RSVP 6 months previous i'd ordered the melon starter. Thankfully my Gf's Sister had started a diet so did a swap
God bless the female desire to be skinny.
Post by: chocolate chick on August 27, 2005, 12:33:30 pm
No I think I would serve my thai fish cakes with rice. Doesn't sound right with chips.
I think chunky chips whereas my boyfriend prefers skinny chips,

Skinny with a southern fried coating.
I like to be able to get a lot of chips imn my mouth at once, not have to teke 3 bites out of one huge chip only to find it still has 10,000 degree fat in the middle of it.

Being part of the new cool isn't being posh. It's being a fashion victim.
Bunny according to my niece the saying is label slave now.

What do you all prefer?
I would prefer rice then skinny chips.
Post by: goldencup on August 27, 2005, 10:29:08 pm
And recently im much preferring Ebly to Rice too. Thai Fishcakes & Ebly, mmmmmmmmmm
I'd forgotten all about Ebly. I kept buying it when it first came out and really liked it but I haven't noticed it lately.

Yes that's what my sons say. They (and all their friends) wouldn't be seen dead in a designer label.

It is Durum Wheat that, when cooked, resembles pearl barley. Ebly can be purchased either raw or cooked; the following Ingredients & Nutritional Information is for the cooked variety.

So me eating rice krispies makes me common ?
No - it makes you normal!
Post by: on September 18, 2005, 08:16:17 pm
Well Bounty if I had to choose from the list I would pick D.
However, you need quite a few quail eggs, as they are so small.
As for marmalade, I love handmade Organic Seville orange; I’m very partial to a good marmalade.
If I make my own, I always put malt whisky in it!!
As for homemade bread, I’m known for my organic ciabatta…
So what does that say about me then
That you have fallen for the organic guff?
Post by: Hello Sweetie on September 18, 2005, 10:08:32 pm
least a couple of hours. I'm not 'morning person', I'm
best avoided until I've been up for at least an hour. I
love pain au chocolate heated up in the oven.
Sometimes at the weekend my daughters treat me
to a full English breakfast in bed with the
newspapers.
