Granola, brown toast, honey, peanut butter, mug of tea.
What did you have for breakfast today?
-
Two poached eggs on a slice of soya and linseed toast, mug of decaf tea
-
Went to Dobbies for a cooked breakfast (sausage, bacon, haggis, potato scone, beans, poached egg, slice of toast and a pot of tea)

Good bit of haggis? (I'm quite fussy about mine).
I'm trying to picture where Dobbies is in Edinburgh.
EDIT - just looked; is it the Lasswade one? - some way out. We have one on the outskirts of Inverness but I've never clocked whether it has a restaurant.

Yes that's the one. On holiday at the moment and we fancied a breakfast out. Should have had black pudding but I don't like it so asked for haggis instead. It was good quality, enjoyed it very much.
They have set menus now but in the past when I have been you could choose a 6 or 9 item breakfast. Enjoyed that better as you could choose exactly what you wanted.

Prefer a bacon sarnie!.......

Yes, Backdrifter and I are Haggis snobs! Lamb good, pork bad. A bit like Genesis really. The pig lies down on broadway doesn't really appeal!

Depends on the day. Sometimes the full cooked breakfast is required. But most of the time on days when I fancy bacon for breakfast, yes the bacon sandwich is unbeatable. For me, lightly smoked streaky bacon crisped on a griddle pan in a buttered morning roll or Glasgow roll, ketchup, sometimes English mustard too. Tip - before cooking, lay the bacon flat on a board and run the flat of a sharp knife along its length to press it out a bit. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then griddle - this gives extra crispyness.

Until you mentioned it before I don't think I'd even heard of pork haggis. Ridiculous idea.

Just something they fob the English off with.
-
Two fried eggs, over medium, atop a split open-faced, toasted and buttered, onion and poppyseed bagel, drizzled with ketchup.

A new and delicious combo for me today: oatmeal, soaked overnight in a little water, heated with milk, coconut oil and a pinch of cinnamon, scattered with chopped prune. Definitely one I'll be having again.
I enjoyed this so much yesterday I had it again today.
Mrs B was inspired by my raving to try it but made it wrong and ended up with a too-dry lump of oatmeal she practically had to slice. But she agreed it tasted lovely.

And again.

And again.
Will it be 4 days in a row

I'll end your suspense. No, not today. A rare instance of a cooked breakfast this time - bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, fried egg, tomato and spinach, a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice.
I have the feeling the oatmeal will be back on the breakfast menu tomorrow though. But I must be careful to not make myself bored of it too quickly!
-
Four browned breakfast sausage links, two eggs fried in butter (over medium), and two waffles with butter and maple syrup.
-
Smoked salmon, cottage cheese, lemon.
I had this both yesterday and today. Tomorrow, I predict, will see the inevitable re-appearance of the delicious oatmeal/coconut oil/cinnamon/prune combo.
