Fry up once a week

[Paladin - York]

I hope it wasn't at katie's cafe.

Nah! This morning's breakfast was at The Beeches b&b in Skerne near Driffield. From memory there were the regular, two fried eggs, hash brown, two sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, 2 rashers of bacon for the main part together with toast, fruit juice, grapefruit & copious amounts of tea. En route home I even had a pork pie from a shop near home - I must have been feeling confident that I could make it back ok.

Anyway I managed the YWCR 71 miles home alright but whether I wake tomorrow morning is another matter. If I do it won't be a fry up.

Ta ra

I did LEJoG in 12 days and had a fry up every morning bar one - we had to leave our Glasgow accommodation early as we had a 100 mile day. Is that not good cycling prep then?! Felt like it at the time!

Shortly before he died (aged 83) my Grandad observed on the fact that, over the course of his life, people gone from telling him "eat that - it'll do ya good" to "you munna eat that - it'll kill ya." So he refused to pay any attention to them. He worked until he was 70 and was still cycling in his 80s. I think I eat a much more balanced diet than he did but I know that I'll never be as fit.

When I was in the RAF, there was a fry up on offer 7 days a week. The majority would eat one every day! Same in the other forces I expect, though perhaps now there is more healthy stuff on offer, but I bet the staple is still the fry up.

For me, it's once in a blue moon treat, not because of health implications particularly, but I have to consciously get the ingredients in. Probably a good thing.

RAF always got the decent stuff, Army got the streaky!!

Cannot help but salivate over the memory of a brunch after a nights duty.

Best thing in the world is rock hard fried bread softened with scrambled eggs (powdered)

Dont knock it till you've tried it

I have a full english every other weekend. As long as its grilled then you keep the fat down.

Its too many eggs I worry about. Cholesterol?

Eggs are supposed to be fantastic again. (especially when you know the chickens from whence they came!)

I ignore most of the so-called dietary 'advice' no potatoes, less potatoes, white bread etc, and eat all I want, in moderation.

Reading the 'cooked breakfast' menus on here is making me hungry, though it's a while til teatime in our house.

For a cooked breakfast, I do 'cauldron' veggie sausages, scrambled eggs, beans, mushrooms, and toast up a couple of potato cakes on the side. And a strong cup of tea. Corrr.

I don't know about George Foreman, but someone I know has one of those Breville Toaster things (80's retro moment)

They make a cheese, sausage and ketchup toasty. Now a hot one of those halfway through a bike ride is the business!

I love eggs in every form, they must be one of the most versatile foods around.

Been on holiday at home for 2 weeks and have been having a burger and egg muffin some lunchtimes but thanks to all the DIY I've been doing I've lost weight and feel great!

 

[tsddave]

Come on now everyone should have a full English breakfast at least once a week!
As long as weight isnt an issue there really is no problem here at all!

Cheers,Bob.

Don't worry about it if it's once a week. There's certainly some debate in the medicate establishment regarding the role of cholesterol and saturated fat in heart disease. Try Malcolm Kendrick, Uffe Ravenskov, John Biffa. I'm not saying they're right (I'm not qulaifies in the slightest) but certainly food for thought alongside (not instead of!) current medical advice.

No, you should cease and desist from having a fry up.

Lock all doors and avoid going out of the house - that can kill you too. Unplug all electrical items and wrap yourself in clingfilm too.

You'll be alright then.
