I was there. I'm not much of a breakfast eater anyway. I rarely eat it unless we have a work b-fast, and then I will have some fruit salad and half a bagel or something. I like a more leisurely weekend brunch and then I like to have an omelet, sausage or bacon (all well done), english muffin or rye toast and fruit salad.

Mon May 28, 2018, 09:59 AM

But since we only eat breakfast out about three times a year, I do't get that very often.

At home most mornings it's oatmeal with a dash of cinnamon, a bit of butter and a sprinkling of demeara sugar over the top.

Today, since I don't have time to make oatmeal it was a Toaster Scramble with eggs, bacon, cheese, and an apple Toaster pastry. Not as healthy or satisfying and they just don't stick with me the way oatmeal does.

I always thought the white gravy had sausage in it, so I wouldn't need the sausage links. And if I have the biscuits I don't need the toast.

Glass of orange juice or half and orange.

If I really want to shorten my life span, steak, eggs sunny side, some kind of potato and coffee.

For a trip down memory lane, shit on a shingle, pickled beets, powdered orange juice and coffee the EPA would have banned.

It's the quality of the eggs and steak. Grass fed beef and range free eggs have mega good nutrients while factory farmed meat and eggs will probably do you in.

...a BLT with an egg was one of the most popular items. They used to make them between stops and have them hot and ready for us because they knew a lot of people would be ordering them. Second most popular item was a breakfast burrito with eggs, cheese, potatoes and bacon.

Fruit, milk, yogurt, honey, a raw egg yoke (my own chicken eggs), and some Udo's oil. I blend it all up in my Vitamix.

I freeze the fruit so it's nice and cold - kind of like ice cream.

I like bacon and eggs too but that is something I can only eat for a late breakfast.

...oatmeal, ground to a powder in the blender, then some vanilla yogurt, some Egg Beaters, some milk, and a banana.

When I'd read that Egg Beaters were pasteurized, so you could consume them raw, it was my go-to breakfast.

Or as we call it around here, Dried Beef Gravy. None of that crap in jars, here in PA Dutch country you get actual sliced dried beef in a pouch in the hot dogs and pre-packed lunch meat section. Tear it in little pieces and sauté in plenty of butter. Sprinkle with 3 tbsp flour and stir until dried beef is coated with flour which gets a little brown. Pour on 2 cups whole or 2% milk and stir constantly til thickened. Serve on toast or (even better) home fries. That’s it, 4 ingredients. There’s a diner nearby that makes it good and we’ll go there after church once in a while if I don’t feel like cooking. A treat after the workday breakfast of coffee and a granola bar.

Hunter S. Thompson's Preferred Breakfast: Eggs, Sausage, Cocaine
"Anybody with a terminally jangled lifestyle needs at least one psychic anchor every 24 hours"

ELSPETH REEVE AUG 17, 2011

Hunter S. Thompson's idea of a breakfast of champions did not include Wheaties. On Wednesday, Lapham's Quarterly posts an illuminating 1979 missive from Thompson on best way to partake in the most important meal of the day:

I like to eat breakfast alone, and almost never before noon; anybody with a terminally jangled lifestyle needs at least one psychic anchor every twenty-four hours, and mine is breakfast. ...

The food factor should always be massive: four Bloody Marys, two grapefruits, a pot of coffee, Rangoon crêpes, a half-pound of either sausage, bacon, or corned-beef hash with diced chilies, a Spanish omelette or eggs Benedict, a quart of milk, a chopped lemon for random seasoning, and something like a slice of key lime pie, two margaritas and six lines of the best cocaine for dessert... Right, and there should also be two or three newspapers, all mail and messages, a telephone, a notebook for planning the next twenty-four hours, and at least one source of good music... all of which should be dealt with outside, in the warmth of a hot sun, and preferably stone naked.


...
