I have this morning enjoyed two cups of Kenya Peaberry coffee and a large bowl of hot porridge oats, made with water, topped with semi-skimmed milk, Capilano honey and freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg.

I am quite replete, despite having consumed it four hours ago.

I must admit, that sounds pretty decent. Had I the budget for such culinary upgrades, I might conceivably be more positive about the whole musli issue.

But I don't, so it sucks.

Marconi (even after going to back to Italy) was very fond of a cooked full English breakfast every day.

When I have plain corn flakes (I know there's nothing in there) with honey and banana, I'll get hungry after another hour.

Barinthus, the point is that you need to eat more during your breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day. I personally can't stand oatmeal for breakfast, I end up trying to chew through half a plate and then throwing up. Bacon has loads of fat and taste; eggs and beans are good for protein; properly made tea has nice amount of caffeine in it.

You can get crazy energy from olive oil, it is laced with raw power.

IOW, it's all fat. If you're seriously building muscles, you don't really have to be scared of fat.

oolong?

I usually have a bowl of cornflakes and milk and a glass of orange juice in the morning. If I am on an early shift this will be eaten at about 5:15am so I will have a couple of biscuits mid-morning, and then something for lunch and an evening meal - I don't tend to snack a lot. Alas afternoon tiredness is something that happens. If you eat a hearty lunch, then the draw of blood away by the digestive system will make you feel sleepy too.

Seriously though, I think some people worry far too much about food though...

English breakfasts are excellent! My problem, though, is that I can't eat that much food until I've been awake for a couple of hours. That means, on a weekday -- when I have to be out the door by 7 am -- I have to choose between food and sleep -- and sleep always wins.

I always find English breakfasts a bit too heavy and stodgy for me, even at the best of times, let alone first thing in the morning...hence I stick to my cereals

Yeah - it makes you wonder how all those Civilisations ever arose without nutrient tables and dietary plans

Yes - it's hard to eat one that early.

The full 'working man's breakfast' was/is in many cases eaten by workers in the staff canteen who'd already been on their shift for an hour or two. Some toast and a cup of tea (stimulant, milk, sugar) and would get them out the door, and they'd eat properly when a big healthy appetite got worked up.

Oolong is half-fermented tea (leaves). Red tea is fully fermented. Green tea is raw (not fermented).

Hmmm...

Right now I have sandwiches in the sandwich maker-baker.

One is with ham, one with chicken, both are with cheese and a slice of tomato. Later to be added are a slice of lettuce and spices. There I'll go for salt, pepper (red and black) aaand... something new, let me surprise myself.

Bon appetit. The whine is empty already, but here are still 4 beers in the fridge. Open a drinking thread? hmm.
