I just had lunch. I’m going to have to come back and do this poll when I’m hungry, because looking at all the options made me queasy. ---

I’m supposed to specify my fruit - mixed berries And of course you realize that I will now have to stop on my way home at a restaurant that serves brekky all day. My cup of soup in front of me is no longer adequate after that mental feast. ---

Thanks! As I mentioned last time, no eggs for me. 😉 ---

The last time I had eggs (last Sunday) I had them fried hard (in a raw onion ring) with chips\*, beans, grilled tomatoes, grilled mushrooms, sausage patties, HP sauce and several Hawaiian Screwdrivers. A great way to start a day! - - Which were missing from the potato options. ---

I chose all the options I would be happy to eat, not all the ones to form a coherent meal - eggs with latkes, biscuits and gravy, and crumpets sounds a little disjointed. (But probably still good). ---

Bacon, biscuits & gravy, sausage patty, steak, scrapple, [black pudding] Hashbrowns, home fries, [chips] Rye toast, sourdough toast, English muffin Coffee, tea, OJ, [grapefruit juice] Not all for one meal, though! My flatmates and I used to go out for breakfast when we were in Scotland. I always ordered the mixed grill: an egg, chips, a sausage, black pudding, and toast. Usually ordered a raspberry shake to go with it. When I was on the boat, my favourite breakfast was a sandwich made of an “everything” omelette (usually ham, cheese, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers) between two slices of French toast. ---

I like bagels, but I don’t care for cream cheese; I put butter on them. I also like ketchup on hot dogs. ---

I checked off a lot of the sides, but my favorites would be bagel, cream cheese, and some sort of salmon. Although corned beef hash and toast are a close second. Tea please. Fruit can be almost anything except oranges. Juice beverages preferred are grapefruit, cranberry, and apple. ---

Along with my over-easy eggs, I’d like link sausage, fried taters or hash browns, orange juice, and wheat toast with lots of butter. And I’ll follow all that with a fresh doughnut, unless you have some real good strawberry jam, in which case, to hell with the doughnut; I’ll just have another slice of toast. Add some strong dark-roast coffee with a dollop of heavy cream, and my meal is complete. Now my mouth is watering – is Lent over yet? ---

I normally wouldn’t have too much with eggs, I’m not a big eater at the best of times, but to keep in the spirit of the question I chose various things I think go with eggs, especially for breakfast and if I’m at a hotel. In this instance it’s largely a “full english fry-up” eggs, sausage, beans, toast. Beverage varies between fruit juice or milk. ---

I only checked what I’d be likely to ask for on a single hypothetical breakfast: corned beef hash, sourdough toast (butter is assumed), OJ and coffee. I love almost all of the choices, but I can only eat so much at a sitting. I’d have been pleased to see mimosas or Blody Marys on the list, but I can be philosophical about it and buy my own booze. ---

I’m trying to cut down on baked goods, potatoes and added sugar, so I picked any of the meat sides, coffee and fruit. Unless the fruit is from a can, though I’ve had good luck lately with restaurants serving fresh cut fruit cups. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > No, but you can always give up self-denial. Of course I could – and break a promise I made to myself. Back to the original question, another item I could add to the list would be a stack of pancakes, either with real maple syrup and butter, or strawberry sauce. Blueberries would be good, too.
