ULTIMATE BREAKFASTS

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 1:13 pm

Breakfast is by far my favourite meal of the day, here's a couple of my fave's, what's your ultimate breakfast?

1. Marvie's (my gf) big breakfast. 4 rashers of wicked bacon (from our special butcher @ Chaddie), 2 free range eggs cooked easy over, 2 slices fresh toast, grilled tomato's with pepper and even a couple of snags (if we have them). Washed down with juice and freshly brewed coffee.

2. Car Park Cafe, Camberwell. They do these mini Pizza's, with scrambled eggs and grilled tomato's on them. And the icing on the cake is this fat contintental kransky - I've never had one like it and I've searched high and low. The pizza is somewhere around $18 though - not cheap. Washed down with juice and coffee and/or choc milkshake.... mmmmmm!!!!

I'm hungry now.

Ultimate breakfast?

A BLT made with fresh mayo, bacon fed bacon, and butter lettuce, served on lightly toasted thick cut white vienna.

Venue could be anywhere, although ideally it would be on the balcony of my brand new penthouse apartment in the city that I bought after winning lotto the previous week.

Avocardo
Tomato
Pesto
Bacon
Spanish Onion
then plop a Poached egg on top (yolk must be runny)

side serving of mushies (magical properties optional, but not recommended)

*drool*

My breakfast is to be consumed @ mrj's new pad too. With spliff's for dessert.

I hate eggs so i find I'm generally limited with the brekky thing

Small Block at Brunny does the best corn fritters with creme fraiche and this chilli and capsicum salsa. Must have with crispy bacon, avocado and lots of buttered toast on the side

Coffee, at least 3 is standard

Stray · Post by **Stray** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 2:15 pm

Eggs benedict is my usual breakfast of choice.. unless I've had a big
night and am extra hungry, in which case I'll almost always go the big
brekky

Vegetarian Big Breakfast with Bacon and a bloody mary from the town hall hotel in north mellie.
I find that the vege big breakfasts at most cafes are better and cheaper than normal big breakies and only require the addition of bacon to make them perfect.

home cooked:
Thick slice of fresh bread, toasted lightly
Mush up a banana (haven't had this meal in a while) apply liberally to bread
cook up some bacon and chuck it on top of the banana
cover it all in cheese and grill.
so good =D

Failing that, three poached eggs, crispy fried bacon, sauteed baby spinach, grilled tomato with garlic and cayenne pepper, two beef sausages, two thick slices of toast with avocado and a massive dollop of pesto. All served with freshly squeezed OJ and Vittoria coffee on an open balcony at about 11am on God's greatest Spring morning.

I was in torquay last summer and we spent ages arguing over where to have breakfast. we finally decided and we started ordering. I ordered a big breakfast with my eggs scrambled and I was told that they didn't do scrambled eggs after 12. It was 12:08. I was too shocked to argue. I am yet to find a suitable explaination for this (other than the scramble chef had gone home).

Anyone got any ideas?

EDIT: that does look fucking tasty.
