    Hubby does like eggs, however how healthy are they? Aren't they linked to cholesterol (?). Due to genetics, hubby has slightly high cholesterol.
    Keep those ideas coming - I am reading them all out to him!!!!!!!!!!!

    What does he like? Actually, on the continent, they often have a selection of nice bread and cold meats/cheeses/eggs/pickles - easy to prepare, as its mostly just a case of opening the fridge and seting it on the table!

    oh yes this is lovely too, my favourite thing about Germany is probably the breakfasts

    Eggs are fine as long as it's not every day. I've read they don't really cause increased cholesterol BUT I'm not a doctor or nutritionist and so I'd advise wider reading on that one :)

  • I enjoy a bowl of porridge made with three quarters of a mug of oats and a mug and a half of water, bring to the boil stirring intil it starts to 'pop'slightly with the heat and thickens up, and dish up.
    I sprinkle a bit of salt on mine (Scots heritage) and also a little milk. 1 kilo of value oats from Mr Ts around 39p, lasts for ages.I stock up in the summer as when the weather gets cold the price of oats rises.Also use the oats in Twinks hobnobs

    My husband normally has cereal for breakfast. However, it is the one meal of the day he does not enjoy.

    I think you need to find out why he does not enjoy breakfast.

    Does he not like the cereal you are giving him, or is he just fed up with it and would like a change.

    Does he want something different to cereal.

    Does he actually want to eat breakfast, but just wants something different

    Or does he not actually want to eat breakfast, but is just doing it because you make it for him?

    I don't eat breakfast, well not as such. I can't eat anything until I've been up for at least 3 hours. I get up at 6.00am and eat nothing until at least 9.00am, but by then I can eat anything. It doesn't have to be breakfast, I'll happily eat a Sunday Dinner at that time.

    I also know quite a few other people who say the can't eat breakfast.

    PS. I ate breakfast when I was growing up, because it was put in front of me by my mum. I ate breakfast for the 20 years I was married, because my wife made it for me each morning. But the day the marriage ended was the day I stopped eating breakfast.

    toast and jam/marmalade
    pancakes
    homemade granola
    eggs
    beans on toast
    eggy bread
    yogurt and fruit
    smoothies

    porridge
    leftovers -fried potatoes, potato cakes, leftover pizza, cold sausages

    english muffins and scrambled eggs is one of my top breakfasts, and quick too. We never have cereal, unless you count porridge - that's quick too if you have a micro.
  • I usually have some form of egg for breakfast, either scrambled with tomatoes or mushrooms, a poached egg or an omlette.

    poached egg on wholegrain toast
    or dippy egg and soldiers, both dead quick and easy
    Just because you are offended, doesn't mean you are right
