Lol

Nothing exciting! Usually have it the following morning.

Oatmeal porridge is still my favourite on cold winter mornings! (I know, very old-fashioned, but still...)

Otherwise I prefer yogurt with a variety of plain cereals in it, like oatmeal, corn, rye... + some sugar. You can also rasp an apple on top of it, very yummy!

DoctorGonzo,

Fruit Loops, hmmmmm. As a child I loved something that I think may have been called Fruity Hoops. The box had a toucan on it and contained hundreds of hoops about 1 to 1 1/2 centimeters in diameter. They came in about four different pastel shades and tasted rather exotic.

About three years ago Tesco started to produce their own brand of something which I was able to identify as the same thing. Again I think that they were called Fruity Hoops or Loops. Then as suddenly as they had started they stopped.

Then Asda brought out their own brand Fruit(y) L(H)oops. They tasted nasty and looked like they had been coloured in by a child with crayons. I had bought about three boxes carried away with the excitement. I managed to eat one bowl before throwing the rest out for the birds to eat. They didn't like tham either and the cereals layed around in my garden getting paler as the colouring leched into the ground and eventually they just washed away in the rain.

Hubby works nights, so I make his Weetabix for him every evening, and he brings me in bed every morning!!!

He also looks after the kids in the mornings, does the school run etc, and lets me sleep in till 11am!!!

Guess I'm just lucky!

It also means I get the bed to myself!!

Cripes, I can hear your arteries clanging shut from over here.

but yeah, if it wasn't for the fact I smoke far too much I might take a more active interest in my health, I have come to the conclusion that at 24 years old living as unhealthly as I do I must already be middle aged as in at the middle mid-way, half-way point in my life; no one who ignores their body and health like I do diserves to live much longer than 50, but, I will do something about it, tomorrow going for breakfast now

Had scrambled eggs on toast this morning. Hubby's culinary masterpiece. Will have to stay off the choccie biccies later though.

Back to Weetabix and banana tomorrow. Unless I get some croissants later.

I have eaten breakfast sits a bit heavy for the next few hours though, just hope I don't start opps, pardon me

OK, It's 2.30pm, I just got up an hour ago, and I'm about to eat breakfast....Turkey Burgers and bread sauce!!!!!!

Yes, I know its disgusting, but I have been known to have Pot Noodle, or even Spam, for brekkie before!!!

During the first year of my first degree, I would often have kabab or curry, or KFC for breakfast:: leftovers from the previous night drinking activities I'me going soon, going to the meet, to drink don't think I will get up in time for breackfast tomorrow

Back on topic: My personal favorites are plain corn flakes and cheerios. But usually I just have toast. I only have cereal when the mood strikes me...

why do you have to use silly grown up words like pre-prandial the word Snack means exactly the same thing.

To answer your question Tesco Maple Walnut Crunch is nice or popcorn.

It's best to stick to something neutral like shredded wheat or weetabix or plain cornflakes and jazz them up with different fruits or jam or honey every day for variety. But I am perverse, most people seem to think, and I only take mine with warm milk and quite sweet. The only other people I know who do this are my father and my aunt (one is 82 and the other long dead).

It's comfort food.

My very very very extreme pet hate and something that sends me screaming out of the room with my hands over my ears is people who crunch their breakfast. AAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHH1

Even if there is only cold milk available, I leave it until the cereal is mushy enough to slurp.

There. I bet that's turned a few stomachs over! Especially those who haven't eaten yet!

Nah. I'm off to have the remains of last nights Sweet & Sour Chicken for breakfast. Yum!

I've just returned from the supermarket where I invested in a New Zealand cereal called (I'm not joking) "Bugs'n'Mud". I've yet to taste it, and probably never will.

Briefly flying off at a tangerine, I'd just like to recommend baked beans on toast made with one of those waffle-type sandwich makers as the ultimate in slothful student food. It's easy to make and there's absolutely no washing up involved, unless you like your sandwich buttered and are squeamish about using your fingers for the task.

I like to make a fresh fruit salad. It's quick, easy, and makes you feel great. When people come to stay and they're faced with it they say how exotic and flamboyant it is, and how they couldn't be bothered - to slice some fruit into a bowl! Add a crumpet or a slice of toast, and coffee so filthy thick you can stand the spoon up in it. That's breakfast.

If cereal is your thing, and you find weetabix or shedded wheat bland, try it with warm milk, or even better, Horlicks on it. A favorate warmer of mine on cold winter nights.

Horlicks on Weetabix - must try it! Honestly, -sounds like my idea of self-indulgence.. as good as eating chocolate in the bath.

Did anyone see any more of Spanner, who posted a few posts back. I had hoped to ask about the ME - does anyone know if any other researchers have it, and what the difference is between that and CFS? Feel free to start a new thread away from the Cornflakes.

You're asking an ME sufferer to go and do something? Surely that's not fair! I used to know a young woman who suffered, and ran a self help group, which sounds like abad joke but is true, and which earnt my total admiration.
