Breakfast for the morning after the night before...

lostinrates · 1 July 2014 at 7:00PM

We're having some friends stay over soon, mostly men, and they are likely to drink rather a lot.

Normally I'd cook an English breakfast but I don't think they'll all surface at the same time, and I cannot rely on feeling that well, so I want to have something that keeps me less tied to the kitchen for the whole morning/ day for staggered feeding.

So I think a buffet breakfast is better.

These are are not difficult men to feed, I expect them to eat veg and fruit etc. they will have had hearty meat and stuff the day before but I am aware of the importance of a good breakfast after a good night out.

Firstly are savoury muffins too naff/ girly/ twee?

I definitely think there needs to be savoury stuff. I thought what ever savoury stuff I come up with along side croissants, fruit salad, yogurt, coffee / tea, fruit juice, toast, jams/ honey/ marmite.

I could do a plate of cheese and hams too?

All suggestions welcome.

Scandinavian meat, fish and cheese breakfast buffet? With ryebread etc and pickles?

toasties made up (cheese & onion, cheese and branston, cheese & tomato, cheese & ham etc...) then just grilled/griddled as each surface
or pre cook some bacon, sausages etc... and reheat for butties or have with toast - sausage bacon doesn't need to be piping hot can be left in a low oven

Grapefruit is meant to be good for a hangover...so a bowl of that is easy.

Eggs are meant to be good too, not so easy to have lying around I guess, but if you have a hotplate they could just put a couple on as they are eating the fruit?....or if they are really brave,...drink them down raw.

There is something in the back of my head saying pineapple is good for the next morning too.

Oh and a virgin Mary works wonders.

As a drinker from a long long of drinkers, who often hosts the morning after the night before, it's got to be a fry

Mid morning

With juice and tea and Lucazade or coke

Sausages , bacon , beans, fadge ( potato cakes ) can all be done and left on to warm. Eggs and toast to order.

Any cooked not eaten bacon and sausages can always be shoved in a bap for later when the hangover is gone and the munchies have kicked in

I second what Suki says, they probably wont want to eat as soon as they get up, a fry up just the job later on

Ice-cream soda's work great too.

Lemonade with 2 scoops of ice-cream.

I cannot imagine serving cola, lucazade or icecream for breakfast!

I have put rehydration fluids on my list. Some will be coming with non drinking partners and I expect them to want to eat and hit the road ( partners driving ) earlyish to use the day, though they are welcome not to. I really, really don't think people will eat at the same time. And I'm really not up to being a short order cook at, over a period of a couple of hours, even for simple things like eggs, so it needs to be stuff I can preprep as I'll have been on my feet the day before and cooking etc.

Scandinavian type stuff I hadn't thought of. I certainly could do berry soup cold more easily that fruit salad for people to have with yogurt. I make it enough for me!

Lol...but if they are very ill...it does work.

It shoves your sugar levels back up quickly, same as lucozade ...but lemonade and ice-cream is nicer.

I would go for a spanish tortilla; stodgy potatoes, fatty chorizo and eggs. What more could people ask for. It can be served cold with some slices of cheese, avocado and tomato on the side. It might seem like an odd breakfast but we have it a lot here, even when not hungover! Tbh though, what I crave when hungover is soft drinks, potato crisps and coffee
