A.Pel Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 What actually IS French toast? Is it just when you fry a piece of bread in egg?Or is that something else?You make a micture of eggs and milk...whisk. Dip bread into mixture and fry.Reapeat with cheese sandwhiches instead of bread for ''cheese dreams''Proper Girl Guide food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 My fantasy breakfast wouldn't need to involve food or drink - merely the presence of Elwood:love: love from christyCheers Christy! But I think it would be better with some pancakes or cornflakes at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 That cafe next to the Vue cinema (I think it's called Henry's) does the nicest all day breakfast in the city, bar none.In contrast, the breakfast at Blackfriars is fucking horrible.

A.Pel Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Debenhams used to do a full fry up for a quid on Saturday morning.I'm pretty sure they don't do them now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metarie Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 lightly toasted bagel with cream cheese and crispy bacon with fresh squeezed oj and a massive mug of Earl Grey tea. or swap the bagel for fresh baked bread drizzled with honey....gorgeous.Henry's does do an awesome fry up plus they're very nice about swapping things about if you don't like mushrooms or whatever.

Hardcore Mel Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Yep' date=' as long as it's accompanied by Ruby grapefruit juice which hasn't been quaffed by R2-D2 over there. While in the states I love to eat Froot Loops which must be incredibly unhealthy (especially as I'm diabetic), but you don't get them over here. Boo.[img']http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~jlp92/Images/FrootLoops.jpgawww hell yeah! them or apple jacks! my sister and i managed to create a cocktail in the bassment on monday that tastes of apple jacks. we're still working on froot loops and fruity pebbles.

Hardcore Mel Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 my ideal breakfast would be stack of banana buttermilk pancakes loaded with maple syrup, fresh black coffee, freshly squeezed OJ and ice water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Denim.. Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 The fried breakfasts in the cafe on King street are great. Especially with a mug of tea in a 70's mug served up by an 80 year old ex-dinnerlady and an ashtray close at hand. Marvellous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DustyDeviada Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Thanks to Rachie and the good people at Globally Sweet I last night enjoyed my first ever bowl of Froot Loops on British soil.Rachie, you truly are a star.Unfortunately I think they were about six quid a box as Mrs Deviada bought Froot Loops, an M&M bar and a Musketeer bar and it came to £9. Oops.But it is a 15oz box, whatever that means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 t's dear as fuck in Globally Sweet, I used to go there to satiate my cravings for Oreos, at ridiculous prices until I found that Kelly of Cults sells them for half the price.However it does sell Army & Navys, which I used to love when I was a kid.
