When I was a student, it wasn't unknown either...
And on Guide Camp, my Mother (QM) and I used to get odd looks from the other guides (and leaders) for eating the left over rice pudding from the night before. Thick and gooey and with a crusty crust on top, ooh it was lovely.

When I did eat rice pud, it didn't last that long lol but I did eat it cold yum
 
Mmmm ...Rice pudding ...one of my all time favourites Hot or Cold :(:(:( <fx Homer Simpson style drools>

(ps Annette, ...as an ex Scout, Venture Scout and currently a Scout Leader I know what a QM is :D - just messin')
 
In Guatemala I used to go to a great cafe that did breakfasts from around the world. UK breakfast was a fry up, German the cold meats and cheese and my favourite, the French which was a croissant, a strong black coffee and a Gauloise. I loved Mexican breakfast and often had heovos rancheros and refried beans and rice. 🙂

Sorry, that was just reminiscing... Tend to go with vanilla alpro or porridge or Burgen toast these days.

Sometimes I wished I still smoked real cigs.........ahhh Gauloise and coffee
 
Can't beat a couple of soft boiled eggs for me and some wholemeal 'soldiers'. I also like a poached egg on a slice of wholemeal toast with a thick slice of ham underneath.

Would have no problem with cold curry though and would prefer it to cereal.

I usually have a thick slice of ham topped with a cheese slice & scrambled egg. It's a recent discovery of mine & is lovely.
 
Which is worse a potato waffle or slices of toast ?

My breakfast (sometimes) Birds eye potato waffle toasted (3 times - nice and crunchy) Oyster musrooms (brown) and shallots cut finely and sprinkled on top cover with a slice of cheddar and melt under grill, a poached egg and grilled rasher (no bread)
 
I'm a bit of a carb fiend at breakfast, mostly because my body doesn't like eggs in the morning for reasons unknown they upset my stomach quite starkly. Think it might just be scrambled egg actually, because all my other egg endeavours involve very well cooked eggs and I'm intolerant to raw egg. I digress. I like porridge, followed by a smal slice of toast with avocado or if I'm really hungry two slices one with avocado and one with vegemite 🙂 Bread poses no problem for me really, but then maybe it's because if I eat bread it's only as a carrier for some fat filled delight like hummus, avocado, or butter. Eggs on the other hand cause my blood sugar to raise quite significantly later, one I can handle but more than one is a problem. Give the that I've got six foot of body to fuel one egg for brekkie ain't gonna cut it 😱 I second or third the notion of none breakfast foods however, I have been known to eat fathead pizza for breakfast, or tomato and mozzarella salad 🙂

All entirely depends on what your blood sugar is before and after each one, there are no absolutes.
 
Enjoy my breakfast. Sometimes miss dinner & enjoy my tea 🙂 ( make sure start the right)
 
I eat 30g of shredded wheat bitesize as I can't stand porridge or weetabix (wish I did like them but just can't change taste buds!!!). Which is just under 21g carbs per portion. I also used to have (before I had to reduce fat content for pancreatitis) 2 slices of medium brown bread (Hovis is 15.1g a slice) with a bit of marmite/spread but I also split breakfast so tested, ate 1 slice, waited an hour, retested and ate the othe slice. The caveat to this one is that I am pregnant and had to have something before driving to work hence the splitting brekkie worked for me, not sure if this would be recommended for you.
 
I'm sorry, but how can you prefer shredded wheat to weetabix? Might as well eat the straw in my chicken coupe!😛
 
Had a lovely Sunday breakfast today while reading the paper. Turkey rashers, tomatoes and egg all dry fried in a good pan, put into a wrap. Just like a breakfast roll. No fat, little carbs and totally yummy. Will be doing it again soon. Makes a nice change from porridget7

What wrap did you use? I love wraps but all the one's I've seen have more carbs than 2 slices of bread.
