What are your thoughts on this? I figure toast should accompany. I don't have a proper toaster now. How much bacon, how many eggs? I usually go with 2 or even 3 rashers and 2 eggs. It's an important issue, one not to be played around with, so only serious bacon and eggs eaters need reply. No comments from the heart conscious please.

No joke, and I like tomatoes too. Actually, been thinking how to improve the meal. Tomatoes are good. I use pepper. Not sure what else to include. Sometimes cheese or onion maybe, or another spice. Any recommendations are welcome.

It is potatoes, I know that, but is it tomatoes always, or sometimes just tomatos? I'm very conflicted by this.

Potatoes=spuds, but do tomatoes= wuds? Doesn't seem like it.

There really ought to be new terminology for these words.

Grits, with lots of butter, salt and pepper. Second best is fried potatoes with onion, cayenne pepper, and maybe green peppers (hash browns/home fries).

Two eggs sunny side up, or scrambled with cheese and tobasco. Bacon burnt nearly to a crisp, so you need at least six strips. Preferably done over a campfire or on a woodstove in a cabin with no electricity and miles from nowhere.

2 eggs sunny side up
4 peices of bacon or 4 breakfast sausages
2 hashbrowns
2 peices of toast, just with butter on them
1 glass of orange juice

I miss haiving breakfasts like that SadSad

I like to dice a potato really small (baby fingertip size), and slow fry it with some salt, pepper, a bay leaf and olive oil. Let it cook for a while. Don't put a spatula in the pan. Just shake the pan. When they are ready to turn over, they will release. When they're almost done, I grate a couple of garlic buds, slice a quarter onion into shoestrings, dice a little ham, sprinkle a little cayenne and coarse black pepper, and let it finish. Low heat it really important.

I actually saw this on TV.

There's a place in japan that takes a quail egg, and a small slice of bacon and puts it on sushi (minus the wasabi of course).

Looked delicious and innovative. Might a great romantic idea for the girlfriend/boyfriend too.

Generally though, I just eat like 6 eggs, 10 strips of bacon, corn beef hash, sausage and just mash it together.

Bread and pankakes only divert room from what could be dedicated to meat.

Bacon and eggs? Not a fan.

My breakfast is

1. Big bowl of cereal. Usually I mix a high fibre cereal with something with some flavor.
2. A banana or two
3. a high fibre granola bar

Usually I eat breakfast right after doing 45 minutes on my stationary bike so my main concern is eating sugars that my body can quickly start burning for fuel, instead of my muscles. I usually start eating protein later on in the day, 3 or 4 meals/snacks with a high protein content, although I try not to eat something like bacon with such a high saturated fat content.

Ha, this is what I do. Bacon fat and bread is delicious. I'm not really afraid of heart disease, our Grandparents cooked with lard for gosh sakes and we have higher life expectancy than ever.

Boiled, diced potatoes fried in bacon fat is good, too.

What about mushrooms?

Higher life expectancy has nothing to do with less heart disease and everything to do with improved sanitation, basic access to healthcare, etc. Also, life expectancy doesnt translate to quality of life. Being 60 and suffering from disease associated with advanced age in our society (heart disease, diabetes, etc) probably wont be a fun thing.

Our grandparents were up before dawn taking care of live stock so they could be out in the fields at day break doing manual labor though. Sometimes even BEFORE they left for day jobs requiring more physical labor. The lifestyle required the extra calories.

I agree with you. I was more saying I don't really believe heart disease is caused by bacon. Eating bacon also leads to me having a higher quality of life so I would rather be 65 and be able to eat bacon, than be 70 and not be able.

I was more bah-humbugging the "you gotta eat healthy" folks than making any comments about life expectancies or quality of life. BTW I only have a fatty bacon meal once a month these days.
