I’m going to try making scrambled eggs with olive oil, it may taste nicer with certain recipes, maybe with a salad or something. I’ll tell you how it went as I have to admit i’ve never tried it and in the interests of fairness I think I should. You never know you may make a convert of me!
Please report back WILLASS. I, too, am skeptical that Olive Oil is less overpowering than butter with eggs.
Ha! - I like Yorkshire pud and dhall (yes I am a freak, why do you ask? I’m also the inventer of the macaroni cheese pizza…)
Not for breakfast though, coffee is the only thing for me first thing
(The smell of dead pig cooking can sometimes tempt me though)
Not that it’s gonna be to everyone’s tastes, natch, and I won’t be the least bit surprised if most people continue preferring butter to olive oil. But c’mon – deciding for yourself would take ten minutes and fifty cents’ worth of ingredients, and that’s if you’re using really good eggs.

Good quality eggs are a must, the thought of battery farmed eggs actually makes me feel quite sick. I am genuinley interested to see what its like as I think that the flavour of olive oil and the eggs may work well when served with certain foods. For example I like creamy rich eggs with smoked salmon (I actually add cream) but the olive oil eggs may go better with other foods, i’m trying to think of something to have with a tossed salad and the olive oil scrambled eggs with…maybe some fresh salmon? I’ll report back on Saturday morning with my opinion.
Eggs go in stir fry with seasame oil. I guess I see your point.
Cracking eggs into the pan is the way to make fried eggs, not scrambled eggs. The whole point of scrambling is to mix the whites and the yolks together into one big yellow-white! 
…and sugar, don’t forget the sugar.
BTW our pancakes aren’t like US ones, ours are better, bigger and tastier.
So there!
…and we don’t eat them every day, only on a Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday that is.
So there…again
Spogga, I sincerely doubt your pancakes are bigger than the mammoth congealed mushplatters you get at any IHOP (“International” House of Pancakes, so named because you can get shit like orange marmalade on aforementioned congealed mushplatters and call it French Crepes) in the United States.
I have no doubt they’re better, however. A good pancake, as Flannery O’Connor almost said, is hard to find.

And on Soulcake Thursday, in preparation for a visit from the Soulcake Duck, right?
Wait, wait…no. Sorry. That’s that other British-sounding place, the flat one with the turtles and the elephants…
As well as yer actual reeeaal English pancakes you can also have Scotch pancakes which are much smaller but thicker [bit like my boss really]
Scotch pancakes are delish smothered in syrup and ice cream and are also recognised as being very healthy eating, no really

Start this day like all the rest.

The beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad
So I had one more for dessert.
Man. you’re all making my mouth water. (except for the black pudding, of course.) But wow, page 3 and no one has mentioned my “usual” breakfast. Doesn’t anyone eat breakfast cereal?
Usual:
Golden Grahams, milk, OJ.
occaisionally:
bowl of apple-cinnamon or banana oatmeal, OJ.
In a hurry:
“Everything” Bagel, with lite vegetable cream cheese, ice tea.
Time on my hands:
Eggs over easy,
waffles/pancakes/french toast w/syrup and butter.
hash browns or home fries
OJ
Buttered toast with jelly (that’s jam-jelly, not gelatin-jelly, brits.)
“English Breakfast” tea
I love French Toast, I make it with sugar and almond flavoring in the mix so you don’t need any syrup with it.
My ideal breakfast-house breakfast would be pancakes with butter and syrup, a couple eggs, some toast, and crispy bacon. With antacid medicine for dessert, 'cause eating in the morning upsets my stomach.
I used to have those like yorkshire pudding things for breakfast when I was a kid…the batter was exactly the same recipe but instead of a muffin tin we put it all in a big cast iron frying pan and baked it in the oven…we used whatever yummy breakfast things we had for toppings: fruit and yogurt or sauteed veggies and sausage…MMMMMM those were so good
Oops, I completley forgot…I’ll try and do it tonight if I can, I feel I owe it to Left Hand of Dorkness to try his recipe before I poo poo the idea.:smack:
