2 fried eggs, grilled bacon (crispy) sausage, mushrooms, black pudding, grilled tomatoes, toast. Followed by 2 cups of strong black coffee and a read of the paper. That’s what I call a fucking good start to the day 😃 ---

Hmm. Pretty much what I’m preparing for lunch (it was originally going to be breakfast). And I’ll even _sit outside_ to eat it. Just a shame I’d have to walk all the way to the shop (150yds) to get a newspaper. ---

Here’s my preferred Sunday morning regimen: Fried egg on toast, crispy bacon, sausage, grilled tomato, baked beans and mushrooms, all soaked in vinegar. Several cups of strong tea to drink. The Sunday Times to read - Business, News, News Review, Magazine, Culture and Home are my favourite sections. ---

Nasty hangover thanks to yesterday’s rugby; too hungover to lie in. Got up, two cups of black coffee and a lot of water. Then chopped an organic onion (very expensive Tesco’s variety, but the difference in smell and consistency is astonishing: well worth the price) and a clove of garlic, and set about making my Famous Lasagne. No breakfast yet though I do have some sausages I might set about cooking. ---

Good morning, UK Dopers. It’s almost 5 am here, due to the new Daylight Savings Time. I lost a whole hour. Right now I’m having…a Pabst Blue Ribbon and some peppermint tea. When I wake up, I shall probably go have pho (Vietnamese noodle soup). When I mentioned pho at the hotel bar in London, I got quite the “excuse me?” because it’s pronounced “fuh” and it sounds quite a bit like something else… But I like a good Irish/English breakfast, and it’s a pity I can’t get someone else to cook it for me. ---

[/QUOTE] Hello from the future. Almost 7pm Sunday here. My Sunday is winding down as yours is the beginning. There are a number of British and Irish pubs in Bangkok that do a great traditional fry-up on Sunday mornings. The Dubliner in Washington Square is the best of the bunch. ---

**Chowder** , you’re making me miss England; I had black pudding and tomatoes with breakfast every day in Blackburn, with some good strong tea. This morning, after some excellent sex, I’m making a frittata for my girl and myself; one of the best reasons to have a cast iron skillet. Eggs, sour cream, bacon, cheese, diced tomatoes, diced onions. Then off to SCA fighter practice, then working on a screenplay about giant mutant penguins. I love the weekend. ---

Me? Leftovers from dinner last night: meatloaf, potatoes mashed with garlic, sour cream and cream cheese; put the potatoes in a bowl, top with slice of meatloaf; pour leftover gravy over the whole thing, nuke until hot. Enjoyed with a large mug of coffee with Splenda and Half&Half, and a tall glass of ice water. ---

Mine was so good that I couldn’t even stay fully awake for the whole of Chelsea v Spurs. (Bear & treacle bacon, from a very good local butcher. Rather nice. Suck on that one, middle easterners 😛 ) ---

I never used to think of the terms “British” and “fine cuisine” together, but Man! I do enjoy the occasional British or Irish fry-up on a Sunday morning. Mmmmmm. ---

You’d be very surprised at the fine cuisine we have these days old chap. Every city/town/hamlet/village etc has at least 2 decent Indian/Chinese/Thai restaurants 😃 Oh! you mean _real_ British…sorry…erm…I’ll let you know 😛 ---

I like that kind of breakfast, but I gave up meat for Lent. ☹ But come Easter don’t get between my teeth and the ham at dinner! 😃 ---

Sunday morning? Due to the alcoholic excesses of the night before, my morning didn’t start until nearly afternoon. Breakfast happened later when I felt able to contemplate cooking…macaroni cheese and lots of tea. Excellent stuff, and just what my poorly head required. ---
