I used to eat sweet things only for breakfast: croissants or toast with jam or hazelnut and chocolate spread (an organic version, not the famous brand name), or leftover cake. And delicious fruit juice made by my partner using the extractor, with citrus fruits, ginger, sometimes pomegranate, or carrot, or whatever needed using up from the fruit bowl.

In a bid to reduce my cravings for sweet foods, I've now converted to all-savoury breakfast.

I used to eat sweet things only for breakfast: croissants or toast with jam or hazelnut and chocolate spread (an organic version, not the famous brand name), or leftover cake. And delicious fruit juice made by my partner using the extractor, with citrus fruits, ginger, sometimes pomegranate, or carrot, or whatever needed using up from the fruit bowl.

In a bid to reduce my cravings for sweet foods, I've now converted to all-savoury breakfast.

I start with green veggies, I reserve some "advance leftovers" when making my salad starters at lunch or dinner the day before, so I don't have to start the day washing and chopping veg.
Then, almond or cashew nut spread (100% nuts, no added sugar or salt) on my homemade bread made with hard-core wholemeal spelt flour with various grains and occasionally cranberries (no sugar added).
Then I wash it all down with coffee with a generous splash of milk.

The extractor mercifully has fallen into disuse, as I knew it would. I didn't even want one, because it uses a lot of fruit for not much juice, and all the fibre has been removed. Fibre is very important!
And since making the juice involves a lot of work, and I always refused to clean it after my partner had used it...

It's a shame to see people abandoning their cultural heritage.

Kippers and a large scotch for me.
Plus a deep-fried Mars bar on Sundays, and haggis when it’s not breeding season.

Deep-fried Mars bar is a Scottish speciality, to say nothing of scotch and haggis..
To hell with English gastronomic imperialism! I've watched Braveheart 158 times!

Never was there a more genuine Scotchman than Mel Gibbons.

They showed Braveheart in the cinemas for nearly 5 years here in the 90s (seriously like it must hold some sort of record). I didn't know any English back then, but he was wearing kilt, tartan and all that shit so he looked Scottish enough to me.

Cultural heritage?
Seriously, you want to make us Brits stick with our food?

I moved to France to get away from all that I hated in the UK which included the food, the royal family and the cricket, and I've not regretted it for a moment.

Pickled herring, raw onions, boiled potatoes with unrefined sunflower oil, dark bread and a shkalik of Pertsovaya.
