Some breakfast thoughts

[yendi]

So, we were out of breakfast bread. Out of Kashi (and I don't do Honey Nut Cheerios, as real Cheerios should not be spoiled with nuts). Out of breakfast burritos. Out of fruit. Out of everything breakfasty.

So what did I do?

I made cinnamon toast. With rye bread.

And it was good, dammit, even if it offends the purists.

I frequently eat much more abnormal breakfasts -- kippered herring on a bagel has been on my plate more than once, I consider cold pizza to be one of the world's great breakfasts, I've had cold steak a few times, ditto most forms of leftovers, etc. And that's not even mentioning the Hershey Kiss Omelet I invented in high school. :-)

So, in other words, I like weird breakfast options. Whether weird variants on "real" breakfast foods, or things that are just strange (hell, as everyone probably knows, I love weird foods for any meal).

Which leads to today's poll:

I don't see the problem... rye bread, to me anyways, is "sweeter" than white... more flavorful too since all the good stuff hasn't been bleached out of the flour.

Bagels are the base for ANYTHING good. I'd actually like to try kippered herring on a bagel...

I think the strangest thing I've ever put in an omelette... well, I had some leftover dinner side, kale greens flavored with garlic and bacon. into the omelette it went.. pretty good, actually. I've done that with chili too.

I had a plate of boiled cabbage and corned beef once for breakfast...

How does one kipper a herring? Do they mind?

I was considering my regular option to be weird not due to pb itself but due to the regularity. I can't think of any other non-autonomic activity that I've done so regularly for 22 years.

Oh, I had no problem with it. But some folks consider it wrong.

The kippered herring on bagel option is a great thing -- really solid, tasty breakfast, and a nice combo of carbs, protein, and good fats.

The kale omelet sounds yummy. I've done corned beef for breakfast, but never cabbage. Strikes me as normal, though. :-)

[yendi]

As far as I know, all kippering is consensual. :-)

Actually, kippering a herring is a process in which the herring is split, then cured by salting, drying, and cold-smoking. You can find them in the same section of the supermarket as sardines.

Yeah, the pb sandwich as a regular option is a bit unusual (I've had it on occasion, but not as a regular thing). The strawberries and horseradish was definitely a twist I hadn't expected.

It was the only thing I had to keep the fruit on the bread...

Oh, I can't help it.

Cold Pizza For Breakfast
Reprinted here from original entry in "Future Fossils"
Words and Music by Christine Lavin/Flip-A-Jig

Some people eat grapefruit for breakfast, some people eat oatmeal
There are those who are sure granola is a very good deal
But not me, I don't go for that stuff
When it comes to nourishment I get more than enough
Nothing satisfies my taste like sittin' down to a great big plate of

Cold pizza for breakfast
Warm Coke to wash it down (Ahhhhh)
Maybe a couple of anchovies make this meal well rounded
I want cold pizza for breakfast
In a pinch, cold spaghetti will do
But there's nothin' in the world that I like better
Than eatin' cold pizza with you.

My man takes me out in the evening, he treats me so nice
We go to the movies, we go dancing, we go for more than a slice
Yes we order a pie, we eat what we can
We take the rest home, that's part of the plan
And in the morning when the sun rise
He sees that crazy look in my eyes

I want cold pizza for breakfast
Warm Coke to wash it down (Ahhhhh)
Maybe a couple of onion rings make this world go round
I want cold pizza for breakfast
In a pinch, cold spaghetti will do
But there's nothin' in the world that I like better
Than eatin' cold pizza with you.

Herman Tarnower would never approve
I can hear him spinning in his grave
He could be alive eating pizza right now
Except for when it came to dating women like the doctor did
And not knowing how to behave
Herman was healthy but Herman is dead
(A pizza surely didn't do him in)
Jean Harris is behind bars lookin' quite sad
And thin – do you see what I'm gettin' at?
You tend to kill when you're skinny, but not when you're fat

So gimme pizza for breakfast
Warm Coke to wash it down (Ahhhhh)
Maybe a couple of pepperoni make this girl well rounded
Gimme cold pizza for breakfast
In a pinch, cold spaghetti will do
But there's nothin' in the world that I like better
Than eatin' cold pizza with you.

Try blackberry jam on a slice on toasted rye. Surprisingly good.
