can't do it often - the few times I've done I actually felt years slip off my life

Like Blackie, I hardly (if ever) eat red meat at all these days - despite my protestations on the huge benefits of a lardy fry-up, about the only time I have these is on canal boat trips, ie once a year on average - fantastic food, but moderation is the key...

Generally I only eat breakfast at all on weekends, when it's usually home made bread toast, butter (not margerine ) & at the moment a preserve I got somewhat addicted to in Newfoundland, Partridgeberry Jam + of course coffee and a cigarette to finish .

Someone asked earlier the attraction of that cigarette in the morning - unless you actually smoke, it's very difficult to explain; it would be easy to say "it's fantastic - the best one of the day", but the bottom line is even a moderate smoker like me is addicted to nicotine: if you've been asleep for 8 hours, you wake with your body craving nicotine, so when you take that first puff, your body rewards you for supplying the nicotine it craves with a nice 'hit' of endorphines to make you feel good... and thus the cycle continues.

Now if you'll excuse me, I just got my 3rd coffee of the day & it's time for my 2nd ciggie...

well other than having white flesh, the flavor is slightly milder and sweeter     

.what I really love are the golden cherries from the Pacific Northwest

Good source of calcium, if nothing else..

Add pancakes - with a little cinnamon - to the ice cream, and I'd tuck in to that quite happilly..

Don't worry about it - one of my friends loves nothing more than cold leftover curry as a breakfast - now that is just against nature!

It's yummy, eh?

What flavor did you partake in?

I swear there should be laws against that. Also poppodoms do not make a good substitiute for Honey Nut Clusters..!

Mind you, I reckon cold Chinese could be worse. Congealed Lemon Chicken at 7am is not an appealing prospect..

That sounds like brekkie Heaven to me!!

You know, I might spend a year just eating everything I want, and fatten up, just to experience true gluttony instead of just dreaming about it every day!
