Every once in a while, we fancy a cooked breakfast. A coffee and bacon roll don’t really count, and the last full fry up we had was at the hotel for my birthday in May.
Since I’ve been with SW, such goodies are still on offer and as long as I’m careful, I can have the bacon/ham, eggs, and most of the trimmings.

A good deterrent for me is only using 2 burners and my microwave, so hash browns, black pudding and sausages are missing from the plate, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and I’ve heard that diet sausages are less tasty than the carton they come in. Hubby likes baked beans with his, but I prefer tomatoes.
I do have an itsy bitsy problem with fried bread, or ‘frying’ anything actually as I set the new smoke alarm off every blessed time, and nothing’s burning!
I love fried bread. I mean, Truly, Madly, Deeply.
It was one of the first things I learned how to cook, and it was not unusual for me to do myself a piece with a fried egg on top when I got home from school.
Cooked in lard (not dripping) at the time as oils weren’t part of Mum’s kitchen cupboard contents, it would turn out perfectly crunchy on both sides, and my egg had a lovely frilly brown edge over a runny centre. Great for dipping!
I can hear any nutritionists/dietitians/health experts amongst you gasping in horror, but believe me, my mouth is watering at the thought of that Celestial Fix from yesteryear which is a definite no-no now.
And so we come to our start to the day the other morning:
His breakfast:
one piece of fried bread (cut in half to savour twice), 2 slices of tomato, 4 slices of lean ham, scrambled egg and mushrooms.
My breakfast (all Free foods, tomatoes and mushrooms being Speed food, and syn free):
3 slices lean ham, 2 large sliced tomatoes (less two slices), scrambled egg, 6 whole mushrooms.
Maggie’s breakfast:
Trust me, she had one small slice of ham and a scrambled egg. It was gone before I got the camera switched on!

It’s great how we can still have a full English!!!!
Maybe not quite as ‘full’ as we’d like, but at least we can still fill the plate!
I know what you mean, but then we know we’ve eaten good!!!!
🙂
That looks lush!! I love bacon(fat trimmed off), eggs, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms etc. I am a bugger for toast dripping with real salted butter though, it is one of my many downfalls. Really want a proper breakfast now 🙂
Just had porridge, made with water, topped with cinnamon. The banana didn’t quite go (actually, it sank).
If only we lived closer….
I send them by proxy!
Maggie eats like a true dog!
She was the inspiration for Gone in 60 Seconds!
Ha!
I know it may be cliched, but I do think breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Yours are great 🙂
Indeed they are, and we make sure we have one every day, whether large, small, cooked or not. Sometimes our days are so muddled, we don’t stop for lunch, so it’s important to have something to work on (or off).
Exactly! 🙂
Maggie gives her paws up approval.
I’m with you – tomatoes are always welcomed
Tomatoes are good for me, so it’s a good job I like them so much!
