Breakfast is always my problem as I find most trad breakfast foods problematic - bread & milk, however instant porridge (not sure what the diff is to US oatmeal) with lactose free milk, that you do in the microwave (and therefore could do at work if one is there and colleagues don't mind the smell) is possible. Gather oats on an empty stomach can be beneficial for the system, so have been doing this workdays since new year and so far so good!

If you add ground almonds to your mix, then when the water is added they start to leach 'milk'. It was my staple milk for years (can't digest animal milk :sigh:) before we could buy it easily in the shops. It was the standard milk in the past too, in Winter when the cows were dry and it tastes really good in the porridge.
It also adds protein to your breakfast oatmeal…I'm an old fashioned vegetarian and still instinctively mix grains and nuts and legumes to get all the building blocks :)

Family camping trips usually meant some attempt at making toast in the mornings.
1. A long-handled device looking much like 2 wire cake racks. Held near the fire, the usual garnish of ashes and wood smoke.
2. A 4-sided, perforated sheet metal thing which sat on the Coleman stove.
Worked wonderfully well if you could get past the gasoline-flavored toast.

Hindsight says the rack over the open fire was the best.
Just keep a hand on everything for the whiskey-jacks and the squirrels.

We always had tons of supplies.
Why that never seemed to include a couple of boxes of Aunt Jemima pancake mix and a fry pan, I don't know.

Alone now.
How much do you actually want/need breakfast?
I quite often dont eat breakfast on a normal day and this can translate to woods time too

I'm in the same boat as Man of Tanith on this one. I do have a soft spot for Weetabix with hot milk so if I wanted to make breakfast in the bush I'd pack some and some dried milk. Nice steaming bowl of 'bix a cuppa and watch the sun come up, chuck in some early morning mist and I'm in heaven.

I think many of you've already seen my typical outdoor breakfast 😂
Anything rich in proteins, (fat) and carbs. Mix it into one pot and voilà! Looks horrible, but it's fuel.

The usual fruit and nut muesli I have at home, just add hot water rather than milk, sets you up nicely. Sometimes the instant porridge, again with hot water, sometimes bag it up at home and add dried milk powder, dried fruit and nuts and a bit of sugar if feeling extravagant ! :)

Usually too hungry in the morning to wait for a fire and cooking bacon, sausages, mushrooms, black pudding, onions etc, so tend to do that at lunchtime instead if not moving around during the day much.

Strong black coffee a must regardless :)

Yeah right. :lmao:

From a gathering in a field in Kent, Pauls "muesli and fruit" breakfast. Photobucket doesn't work for me anymore, so fingers crossed.

Nope, cannot get them to work at all. Strange, works fine on BB. And this is from Paul's album, so it's something to do with the iPad. Maybe. Annoying to say the least.

I think this is what ought to be aspired to. Posted by Mr Beachlover elsewhere, it's food porn. Looks very like a bowl of fruit and muesli, but cunningly, it isn't. :lmao::lmao::lmao:

Everytime I watch it, I get mega hungry. Sorry Paul, just can't help myself mate. ;)

One of these normally does me for breakfast if I'm out in the woods...probably not very nutritious, but it's tasty and keeps me going most of the day!

Thanks,

I bought two of those, and still have one in the garage somewhere. The first I tried didn't taste all that great to me, but I just heated it in a water bath, so didn't expect much.
Could you please share your preferred method for cooking it?

Yeah I just open the tin and empty the contents into whichever cooking receptacle I have with me, and heat over your fire or stove until piping hot, then enjoy!

Thanks,
Allan
