Can't imagine having fish for breakfast or brunch. I went down on a woman once and almost threw up on her. Smell of fish still brings that memory back.

For myself, fish is OK for breakfast for a treat - if it's smoked haddock or smoked salmon with poached or scrambled eggs respectively.
Can't eat kippers though - the bones would make me puke.
Sadly, I have never seen grits available outside the US.
For Joe: Grits are a traditional American dish made from ground dried hominy (a form of specially processed corn) which is simmered until it becomes soft and creamy. For most US southerners they are an integral part of breakfast. A hot plate of creamy grits is pure comfort food.
Thanks bob. Is it related in any way to sweetcorn, or closer to a porridge type thing?
thanks. Maybe SG (being our resident porridge expert) can expand?
Like everything else there is a World Championship of porridge making - it's held annually in Carrbridge in the highlands of Scotland.
People come from all over the world to compete for the (wait for it) Golden Spurtle which may sound like some kind of deviant yellow fun but is in fact a stick which one uses to stir the porridge.
I think the current World Champion is a Swede.
Other than that I can only say that porridge ought only ever have salt added to it - none of your sassenach sugar, honey, jam etc and it's traditional to chase it down with a shot of malt whisky. The Hilton hotel in Glasgow keeps a free bottle of malt next to the porridge urn at breakfast time and patrons are welcome to help themselves to a dram.
...screeeeeaaam...
Most of my childhood and adult life was Vegemite-free, and I never missed it at all.
I rediscovered it on my return to Australia and now wonder how I ever lived without it!
Vegemite on toasted sourdough bread! Heaven! The perfect quick snack.
I only ever eat breakfast when I'm staying at a hotel. I always check out the breakfast buffet before I book.
If we are annoying LatintopXXX we're doing something right
:D
Milky scrambled eggs and salty porridge with an occasional sliver of fish. Breakfast with Gorbalsl Jock sounds a right barrel of fun.
I only tasted Vegemite once and figured I was too old to have the time to acquire a liking for it. I think this advert or similar is still in use.
We're happy little Vegemites
As bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch and tea.
Our Mummies say we're growing stronger every single week
Because we love our Vegemite.
We all adore our Vegemite.
IT PUTS A ROSE IN EVERY CHEEK!
We're growing stronger every week.
:yahoo_mini:
Why no mention of crepes?
I thought crepes were what neds wore on their feet in the 60s
sacrilege - when I was growing up no happy little Vegimites' mummy would have known what sourdough bread was let alone using it when trying to put "a rose on every cheek" and heaven is officially still a Vegimite sandwich on white bread with a slice of Kraft processed cheddar cheese!
thanks bobsaigon2 for the jingle, and for the rest of the uninitiated try the pop quiz

I think Americans have no idea how deeply ingrained Vegemite is in the Australian culture. Vegemite, made in Australia at its Port Melbourne manufacturing facility, produces more than 22 million jars per year. The billionth jar of Vegemite was produced in October 2008.
Though Vegemite is owned by the American multi-national Mondelez group, I think no effort was ever made to market it in the US. Americans are not adventuresome eaters.
It is refreshing to see a widely accepted food product that even some doctors recommend as a Vit B supplement. :)
Meanwhile, the fast food chains, the snack purveyors and soft drink producers are doing their best to lead as many people as possible towards morbid obesity. :(
A budgie is found inside a pair of budgie smugglers.
Not in mine a447. Porridge is rolled oats, boiled with milk or cream. Salt is added before eating. Although I've heard about Philistines who add sugar rather than salt.
A budgie is a small bird kept caged as a household pet, similar to a canary.
Budgie smugglers have been seen on Bondi Beach, but that's Australians for you.
Budgie = Budgerigar
Yes, you should try them - the flesh just falls away
I thought Melting Moments are a biscuit
Look, we need to nail this - neither I nor anybody I know has ever eaten a deep fried Mars bar.
It's an urban legend - unlike the Loch Ness Monster which is clearly real.
:yes:
As a Scot I have never eaten nor know anyone who has eaten a deep fried mars bar nor have I ever seen one other than a picture and I am a frequenter of the chippy shops.
you and SG obviously need to get out a bit more - or is this just an early example of fake news from The Guardian?

I don't either of us is saying it's "fake news" - just that neither of us has ever seen a deep-fried Mars Bar nor do we know anybody who's eaten one, which if the consumption of this "treat" was in any way widespread (as some seem to be suggesting) then we would have had.
:unknw_mini:
Conflating a Mars Bar with prostitution is something that could only happen on this disfunctional forum
:D
So having nailed the perfect scrambled eggs (minus the Mars bar) what do you eat it with. I know a lot of people like salmon, but I don't eat fish. So I prefer crispy bacon. Maybe some mushrooms and sausage?
