Half a leftover Meatball Subway and a coffee. Oh man, the yesterday's leftovers breakfast can be a lovely thing, especially if left out overnight to mature. Pizza is my favourite. One of my Uni housemates worked in a Chinese restaurant, and every Saturday she'd bring us home food. And most Sundays when I was the only one up early for work, I'd have some cheeky Chinese for breakfast too.

I considered adding that in my view, second best leftovers breakfast is the Chinese, noodles especially. Congealed room-temperature pasta dishes are good too, lasagne being a particular favourite.

Leftover Domino's is where it's at! I don't think I've ever ordered from them but whatever your outlet of choice, it's all good. We've just had a new pizza place open near us, called Cheese & Tomatin, which is a fairly bad local place-name pun but I gather the pizzas are good so I'm already planning an imminent breakfast.

Most of you posting on the last couple of pages must have excellent digestions. I have never even wanted to eat "fresh" takeaway meals. The thought of congealed, leftover takeaway food for breakfast makes me feel sick!

Skinny latte, toasted crumpet and a chopped salad with feta (salad leftover from our Turkish Deliveroo the night before, so continuing the general theme of today’s forum breakfasts.)

The thought of congealed, leftover takeaway food for breakfast makes me feel sick! I'm incredibly squeamish about old food, to the extent that after a meal I have to rinse off plates and cutlery immediately rather than let it stand until I can do the washing up (which is never left until the following day). It even makes me feel slightly ill if I'm having a meal at someone else's house and people stay at the table chatting over the dirty plates before clearing them away.

I tell you what is hell, and I warn all our young people, NEVER eat left over doner meat. Just trust me.

It even makes me feel slightly ill if I'm having a meal at someone else's house and people stay at the table chatting over the dirty plates before clearing them away. So you're not a doggy-bag person then? As is probably obvious from some of my posts here I'm not averse to what you call "old food" (that phrase is what I'd apply to those museum displays of semi-digested cereal grains from the stomach of an excavated stone-age person - I suppose you'd be all fussy about that too) but what you said about people talking over the dirty plates reminds me I'm not happy about when you go in a cafe and the pastries, cakes etc are all on open display, not covered over, right there on the counter where people queue, place orders and pay, while talking, shouting, laughing, breathing, sneezing, snotting, coughing, sweating, spitting, dandruffing, earwaxing, waving their unwashed just-out-of-the-toilet hands around, and generally emitting their foul noxious germ-saturated fluids and vapours all over the unprotected food. I tell you what is hell, and I warn all our young people, NEVER eat left over doner meat. Just trust me. Doner meat is already leftovers isn't it? Mixed with hair, snouts etc and compressed into a compacted mush cylinder? An electrician said he was working at a kebab shop one morning and watched two staff lift one of those doner cylinders out of a freezer, throw it on the floor, and kick-roll it along to the shop front, which included it rolling past the toilet door. Anyway, my breakfast today - two fried eggs on toast, 2 smoked streaky, slice of black pudding, ketchup, orange juice.

I don’t get open displays of food either. And in some posh places. Royal Academy members' room I’m looking at you.

You clearly have the higher end kebab shops in your area. (You have snouts?)

A coffee. And a couple of Oreo. That's what I have time for in the morning.

Well I don't have any food at all (although if I'm on holiday I can enjoy a nice hotel breakfast.) I just have two mugs of tea. But I'm ridiculously picky about this. First of all it's got to be loose leaf tea - my favourite is Sainsbury's Kenyan but I sometimes vary it with Yorkshire (red is better than gold.) Then there's all the teapot warming kerfuffle and I actually put a timer on to let it brew (I prefer the Derbyshire word mash) for exactly 6 minutes. If I'm away from home and have to endure teabag tea it really does depress me. I'm always then amazed that other families spend a fortune on expensive coffee making kit; or, at the very least wouldn't ever buy instant, and then drink sh*te teabag tea.

Unusually for me, no breakfast at home today. Instead a bacon and egg flatbread from a cafe in Waterloo station and an orange juice, taken into work and eaten at my desk.

For a change, breakfast out at the IronBar, Squatney Downs. Devastated avocado on randomised charcoal sourdough sprinkled with sublimated acerbic bean seeds, with an erlenmeyer of durian and oblique fern juice.

Well you often see 'crushed' avocado. Devastated avocado is the next tier of distress up. In either case, we can only guess what might be the cause of their upset. I think I've also seen 'traumatised avocado' but I'm not sure where they are on the spectrum of disruption.

Porridge, because yesterday I was walking through the supermarket and suddenly thought it might be nice to have porridge for breakfast.
I forgot that porridge swells up a bit in the microwave so it was an anxious few minutes peering through the glass watching the level rise towards the lip of the jug. Spillage averted, but only just.

I think *we* need more information from all you porridge eaters.
Milk or water?
Sugar or salt?
There is actually a World Porridge Making Championship, held annually in Carrbridge in the Scottish Highlands.

Milk or water? Sugar or salt? Milk, and neither. I once tried making porridge with water following a moderately successful experiment with a milk/water mix. It was like eating wet oats, mainly because that's exactly what it was. I like porridge with sugar, but I like enough sugar that it melts together to form a deliciously sweet crust on top of the porridge. Awareness of calories stops me doing that these days, unfortunately.

Porridge. I soak the oats in milk overnight, then as I start heating them in a pan, will if necessary top it up with hot water from the kettle. It doesn't usually need much, and I like my porridge on the thick side but not cuttable. At the end of cooking I'll stir in a small drizzle of maple or agave syrup.

Awareness of calories stops me doing that these days, unfortunately. That's why I gave up having porridge regularly. I only find it palatable with large quantities of brown sugar on it & I reckoned the unhealthiness of that was worse than the healthiness of the oats. On the odd occasions I do still have it then it has to be made with milk. Which is kind of odd when I think about it given I can't bear milk on its own & only drink water.

With milk and either sliced banana and honey or with a dollop of homemade apple and ginger jam to sweeten it.

I have been felled by a chest infection so I indulged and ordered breakfast from Ottolenghi, via Deliveroo. Fruit salad, Greek yogurt and nutty granola. I am going back to bed now.

And mummy bear said "who's been eating my porridge?" And baby bear said "who's been eating my porridge?" And daddy bear said "stuff the porridge, where's my iPad?" A favourite line from the original radio Fist of Fun, a spoof of Goldilocks - "Look, I'm not being funny but, I think someone's been sitting in my chair. Though how I'm quite so sure, I don't know."

Toasted cinnamon and raisin bagel, the usual cup of tea. (One day, someone will pick up on that reference. They must!)
