What did you have for breakfast today?

a can of coke and a cigarette. I'm not a morning person....

Half a leftover Meatball Subway and a coffee.

Seema like a difficult morning for us all, we were all running late!

Can of Stella

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.

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!

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.

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.



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.

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