Your ideal breakfast.

2017-07-29 at 12:24 PM UTCCoffee of course, that's a must. Lots of cream, light sugar.
So, preferably it would be going out to a diner of some sort because it would be like a fun little date with your SO, perhaps a nice walk afterward or sometime kind of outdoor activity. Just a good way to start the day.
I would order something I don't usually make at home, like Eggs Benedict, California style with none of that Canadian bacon (not even real bacon), but rather American bacon along with some avocado, and of course, hollandaise sauce. Shredded hash browns on the side. When I'm done, I'd either order an Ice T or a Coke a Cola w/ lemon & ask for it in a to-go cup and take it with me where ever I was headed to next.
I cook all the time, which is a good skill to have I but I would say I enjoy cooking dinner a lot more than cooking breakfast. I'll make bacon and eggs or some french toast if I have the time but I'd rather just have some coffee and a granola bar and not have to worry about making dishes for myself first thing in the morning. -

Pigs are only filthy due to the abhorrent conditions the vast majority are kept in. Regardless, it's not as if fecal matter becomes intrinsically enmeshed into muscle tissue. Any exposure is largely external.
What about cows? Do you know how fucking filthy the CAFOs they're kept in are?

Anything that says its own shit is just bad JuJu and gives me the jibblies.
It's probably fine with modern farming (i.e. no toilet troughs like in the old days, which is probably what caused abrahamic religions to ban them) but it's just gross to think about.
Besides, there's plenty of other delicious meat in the world. I'm not telling anybody else not to eat pork, just stating that I don't and explaining my reason. It's no different to how you might not want to eat frogs legs or roasted tarantula. I've eaten roasted tarantula, and it tastes/feels like eating a big ass peanut, it's delicious. But most people would be grossed out by that. -

I make my girlfriend breakfast on weekends sometimes. She's still asleep right now and I'm going to make her French toast today. A couple weeks ago, I made her eggs Benedict with sausages and tea. -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon Whenever I'm feeling leisurely in the morning, I make a nice English breakfast.
- Buttered, toasted English muffins/Italian bread
- Milk tea, sweetened
- Beef sausages
- Eggs
- Seared tomatoes
I make everything in one skillet; I start by roasting a bit of freshly ground pepper in the pan over low heat, then placing a generous spoonful of butter and a very small amount of garlic in there, and I push it around with a spatula.
Then I put 2-3 drops of vegetable oil in there to keep it loosy goosy. At this point, I toss the sausages in the pan, poking them as they cook. They release their own fats, which are delicious.
Then once the sausages are about 60% done, I crack 2 eggs on one side of the pan and corral it into the side till the edges are cooked enough to stay there with the spatula. In the process, I divert the fats towards the eggs, and they give it a delicious umami flavour, and all the salt it needs. This should also push all the pepper in the pan to the eggs, which should be incredibly aromatic at this point.
By this point, the sausages are usually close to being done, so I move the plate, and place 2 smallish vine of cherry tomatoes (usually 6-7 of them on the cutting I use) on the far side of the pan and let them sear and cook over the slightly lower heat. I drizzle a bit of olive oil over them.
I'll flip the eggs over at this point and let it take a bit more heat, while moving it next to the cherry tomatoes, to settle in the lower heat. I'll then drizzle some olive oil in the hottest part of the pan, and toss 1 big slice of Italian bread on there, and let it toast in the pan, flipping it over every 10 seconds or so.
When the first bread is done, I put it on the plate, then place the egg on top of it, and put on a second piece of bread. When THAT is done, I take it out, put it besides the first one, and then move the vine of cherry tomatoes to my plate, directly on top of the egg. The key is to let the tomatoes rest after removing them from the heat. They are molten lava on the inside. They will lose a lot of their best to the egg, warming it up, and coming down to a delicious temperate. I wait about 2-3 minutes for them to hit the optimal temperature. And then I move them off the egg, slice each of them in half and sprinkle a little pepper on their now juicy, roasted flesh.
Parallel to this, I run my electric kettle and about the time I move the sausages out, I pour the water into the teapot and put them leaves in there, so they have a lot of time to steep, brew and my tea can get really strong. 1 teaspoon of sugar, one heaping teaspoon of powdered milk, ez gg.
Then I sit down and enjoy it with some Tom and Jerry cartoon streams.
What's your favourite all-out breakfast? What are your mornings like with it?
its not english breakfast without fried bread and black pud.

this is true
but having seen pigs raised en masse at the district ag facility and even having helped a friend clean out his pigs pen, its nowhere near as bad. pigs will stick their nose against the lever in their waterer for the sole purpose of flooding the shavings and having a wet surface to lay on. that combined with the shit in it makes maggots grow BADLY and if they flood it, trying to clean the pen without hurling out of pure revulsion is hard. you get a shovelful of shavings and slowly it all just falls apart because theyre fucking everywhere. you have to completely remove all of the shavings, bleach the floor, and then wash it all off/let it dry so the maggots wont shit up the fresh shavings.
the worst my pen ever got was after i began bulking my chickens with supplemented feed, so they were shitting much more than usual, and even then you dont get maggots since the bedding is dry. also, the bedding usually never gets that bad since you want them to have clean, fluffy shavings to keep their breast from bruising and tearing feathers out -

how the shit do you think maggots could possibly grow around chickens? for one thing...they eat them...for another...that's just unsanitarily nasty. -

i dont think that. im saying that above all else a chicken's enclosure isnt a suitable environment for them to grow in, so they dont. also, the maggots generally speaking are on the bottom of the shavings, near the floors, where its damp, dark, and relatively safe compared to the top of it where the pigs lay so they arent really noticeable. not to say they arent a problem or are any less disgusting/unhealthy because of it though
