Breakfast

[EdS]

if I'm not driving - sloe gin and a large tea. Don't do breakfast.

 

[UKHaiku]

What I'd like...
Fresh scrambled eggs, mushrooms, bacon, sausage and some form of bread (going to try experimenting with bannocks I think - they sound good). And a huge mug of sweet tea

What I usually have while camping...
Mug of black, sweet tea (I don't usually bother with milk, powdered or otherwise), and some sort of 'breakfast' bar...

Hmm... I think I'll be aiming more for the former when I camp next!

p.s. Cheugh bread sounds nice

Do you grind your coffee beans on site, and if so what with, or prepare before you leave home?
Fresh ground coffee appeals.

Humpback,

When I'm base camping I roast the beans on site (skillet roast) and then grind in a hand grinder. For lighter weight I roast and grind at home (but still squeeze in a coffee pot )

Theres a thread around on it with pictures http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16039

Hi Toddy,

Cheugh ...... Sorry, I'll mind my language

It's good to learn new words and phrases,
It's better to know the appropriate usage,
And the best bit is knowing that you can ask the question .


Thanks for the quick response.

If Bodge is there, Staffordshire oatcakes with bacon, cheese and tomato! (Satisfied memories of Middlewood!)

If not - a sausage sarnie with a strong coffee or two!

Taa, I'm off to look at that thread.

bacon sausages and beans.
or
porridge with dried fruit.
depends on how long i've been out, and whether or not I'm car camping or not.

And a large mug of green tea. If it's good enough for Nessmuck, it's good enough for me

Porridge is good, pancakes too. Coffee is great outdoors, not mega keen on coffee indoors, I'm more of a tea drinker but outdoors coffee seems to win through. The only problem with powdered egg is the fact that I have since found out it is made from Battery eggs! Nice one!

 

[JonnyP]

I was reading about the real heavy fry ups on BB and I thought, mmm, no.
Then I wondered about communal breakfasts at meetups and the like and wondered if the fry up really was the preferred breakfast.

I

Although I just love a fry up and will go for that when out, normally at home its just 2x toast and porridge or some cerial... I love a Hobbits breakfast too, but that don't often happen....

Thanks Spam - bang goes my dried egg

Thats something I never knowingly buy (FYI so is Helmanns mayo)

Helmanns are supposedly stopping the use of battery eggs this year across their whole range. It really is frightening what is put in our food without us really knowing. And annoying! Well, I will use up the last of my powdered egg and then try and think of a seperate way of carrying eggs without them going green or exploding in my kit. Apparently they can be frozen.

 

[andy_e]

Large, hot, sweet mug of black coffee and a bannock with honey. Perfect

 

[fishy1]

Tinned fruit. Also bacon is good.

Hmmm dehydrator time?

 

[malcolmc]

Porridge with sultanas and coffee. I'll only carry eggs if I'm on a long trip and then I'll boil them before I leave home, saves a mess in the rucksack and almost as good an effect as the army's brown biscuits.

I often use the army ration packs but find their breakfast meals a bit too heavy first thing; I tend to use them as a main meal turning a 24 hour pack into something that lasts me 48 hours. Probally says something above the amount of energy I use when I'm out and about.

Can you do that? I suppose that must be how they make them in the first place unless it is freeze dried. Keep us posted how you get on please!

 

[British Red]

Since it feels like a recipe for food poisoning I suspect I'll let someone else try it first!
