Hi, friends!

I had my favorite breakfast today. It’s leftover cold pizza*.

Do you have a favorite breakfast? Are you not a breakfast person but you love pancakes for dinner?

*and yes, it was a bbq chicken pizza from Imo’s because I know how everyone here loves bbq sauce on pizza, thin crust pizza, and provel cheese

    • …so…the breakfast of champions, then?

      …when I used to sometimes have breakfast with a more-or-less vegetarian (lax enough not to need two pans) I used to hog the sausages & bacon, an egg & a hash brown or two with maybe a few beans & the odd mushroom & they’d have the rest…sort of a jack spratt deal?

      …since me & sleep stopped seeing eye to eye it’s rare I have the appetite at breakfast o’clock these days

      …hard to beat, though

      • i mean….im not saying i have the energy to make it for myself…..

        coz holy shit…thats too much work for anything in the morning…

        but you know….i might find myself crawling into a wetherspoons?

        you know…if i had the option here?

        my normal breakfast is coffee and a smoke……possibly with a pint or two of water and paracetamol

    • …having pancakes & not giving anything up for lent is basically how the church of england rolls…so there’s no reason to miss out on account of not observing

      …way it was explained to me the point of making pancakes was to use up all the food in the larder that would spoil before the fasting bit was over…& give your system enough to digest that you could ease it into the idea it would be missing some meals before it ran out of that sort of work to do

      …so…when you think about it…you’d be doing the observant folks a favor, really

      …&…they’re tasty, too

      • A bunch of places in the Eastern half of the US have had muskrat  classified as a water animal for the purposes of Lent by the local bishop, so Catholics can eat it along with lobster and turtle, and of course fish. I’ve seen little muskrat, um, filets for sale in a local market, but never felt the urge to try it.

  4. I prefer reheated leftovers for breakfast over traditional breakfast foods. I wouldn’t say no to a fresh from the wood oven Montreal bagel, cream cheese, lox, red onion, capers and a squeeze of lemon with a side of grapefruit mimosa.

  5. Ewww. I normally don’t eat breakfast and BH will have yogurt with blueberries or something simple. I serve breakfast for dinner sometimes. Recently (was it just last night?) we had cheesy scrambled eggs and toasted and buttered English muffins. While we were eating this we watched an episode of “Hawaii 5-0.” BH swore that the main character was Tallulah Bankhead. I said, “That can’t be true, because I think her last on-screen appearance was on ‘Batman,’ and that went off the air in something like 1968.”

    You know what makes for a happy marriage? Yakking about 20th-century TV trivia.

  6. …can’t pick one…but depending on how early a start & what kind of day’s ahead…I can think of a few

    …dim sum is, technically, breakfast food…&…awesome…so…dim sum for sure

    …the kind of french café breakfast that involves warm-from-the-oven french-french bread with slabs of chocolate (actual chocolate none of that hershey’s nonsense) in & a cereal bowl full of good black coffee…with…because I’m a heathen…sugar in it

    …the kind of cafe fry-up @farscythe pitched

    …french style pancakes

    …american style pancakes…or as my grandmother called them…drop scones

    …the former with sugar & lemon…or nutella…the latter with bacon & maple syrup

    …dutch (iirc) style pancakes that are like a hybrid between a calzone & some sort of roti/chapati sandwich…probably some sort of ham & cheese filling

    …a glass of orange juice, a jug of coffee & maybe some cigarettes

    …don’t think I could rank them if my life depended on it?

      • …I have some relatives who are…not hippies…but they have opinions about things like what plastic the water bottle is made from & pay attention to ingredients

        …a bunch of us were together on the west coast at one point…though they live in scotland usually…& they had a bit of a cereal moment

        …teenager asks if he can get a box of some weird one they’ve never heard of while they’re doing the shopping & they glance & the box & say sure, fill your boots

        …they get back to where we’re staying & realize they absolutely wouldn’t have bought it if they’d read the box instead of looked at it…the bits of text in bubbles on the front that mention sweeteners don’t say “no artificial ones” like they assumed…basically the box says “all the sugar plus extra fake sugar & a whole buncha stuff”…like it’s bragging about the reasons they wouldn’t normally have it in the house

        …meanwhile the teenager only wanted to buy it because they did read the box & there’s a competition involved where a winning box scores you a tablet

        …&…it’s a winning box but the t&c’s say you have to be older than they are & a legal resident to claim…which the person who put the shopping on their card is

        …cue slow process of prize being claimed & then eventually being handed off like the pony express until it got halfway around the world to a still-very-much-overjoyed teen

        …& parents who still couldn’t decide if they’d been had or just got a hefty rebate from the bank of karma?

    • Bubbale! Bagel with a schmear. BH has a client who’s very generous. He’s also very Orthodox (Jewish.) They don’t talk over the phone; the client prefers to take him out to lunch or dinner at one of the many, many kosher restaurants that he knows of and they conduct business there.

      I need to remember stuff like this. For all the crime and corruption and incompetence, NYC provides experiences seldom found elsewhere.

    • My wife has a friend who raises chickens and we sometimes buy eggs. I have to admit my unrefined palate can’t taste the difference between fresh eggs and store bought, but they look really different. Different colored shells, irregular shapes and different sizes.

      There must be a lot of culling that goes on to make sure store eggs are so uniform, and I can only guess there’s a huge secondary market that cracks all of the leftovers and then mixes them and sells them by the gallon to bakeries, fast food places, and institutional kitchens.
