Breakfasting in France poll (1 Viewer)

[laird of Dunstan]

A French or English Tart , is my favourite breakfast

p.s my wife says I should stick to English

 

[Judge Mental]

really surprised at the amount of cereal/fruit lovers. The fruit tho is so much nicer there isn't it ? Fat and sweet and lushness, even the ones in a glass

Indeed.....It's all from Spain just likes ours

I didn't vote as being French I've had the same breakfast (or nearly) since I could sit on a "grown up seat": So there: A huge bowl of coffee with a large drop of milk in, and slices of bread with butter on , sometimes on hols I put some jam on, and yes Bonne Maman is the one!!! But the French bit I've seen in only one post is to DIP the bread/croissants/ pains aux raisins/ in the coffee! That is typical French !!

sorry but most frequently eaten is not always favourite. I have toast every day but would prefer a full English, however I would then no longer fit in my van.

 

[deleted-member02]

It varies from day to day.
Cereal if we have fresh milk. If we have access to fresh bread, it might well be bread and jam/cheese/nutella.
If we have longlife bread(usually a few days old) we'll toast it up.
Sometimes full English if the cadac is out.
Eggs, pain au chocolate and fruit are normally for when the cupboards are empty or we want an early start.
The only constant is coffee.
Fresh (Bialetti) coffee if possible. Gold blend or even instant sachet if desperate !

Porridge, like we have at home because I need a special diet

With blueberries .....they are a super food..really good for you

 

[Puddleduck]

We have porridge most days, usually with fruit of some kind. I've also started to use agave nectar instead of sugar and don't get the hunger/carb cravings. On special days I will make pancakes adding porridge oats and fruit if I have it.

 

[Glandwr]

Butter and jam with a crossiant

Love blueberries and Greek yogurt mmm

We take a stash of bacon (and sausages) with us and love a fresh baguette bacon butty in a morning...
We take bacon and sausages as we don't like french sausages and their bacon is rubbish tbh

 

[Zepp]

You can't beat fresh croissants and coffee

Always dip bread or croissants in my coffee I spent some time on army exercises with the French army and we got a bowl of coffee and bread for breakfast loved it.

I make oat pancakes at weekend. Cup of organic oats, half cup oat bran, cup of milk. One egg, teaspoon bicarbonate soda, touch of salt, food processer, so easy...

Served with crispy bacon, lemon and zero calorie maple syrup

I love French food, wine, country, people, but I could not drink coffee first thing in the morning to save my life. Rather drink water. Late morning I love a mug of fresh coffee!
Never stock up before crossing to France, just tea bags and first couple of meals. Love French food. ALWAYS stock up before leaving france

Nobody seems to have picked up on the "pain au raison" which had me chuckling at my desk at work for ages. It should of course be raisin, exactly as the English word. Raison means reason and I found "bread of reason" quite amusing, for some reason?

No such thing as reason before breakfast..........

Well ... I did! LOL ! but I try to forget about spelling otherwise people think I'm being snooty! And when I see some of our towns spelling... my hair goes up straight (French way to say it... dunno if it makes any sense in English)

Probably 50/50

either a small cooked breakfast 3 or 4 of following

British dry smoked bacon, scrambled, fried or poached egg, tomato (love the big french fresh ones in microwave)/ mushrooms / beans for husband. I do take Black Farmer sausages or similar british sausage with us, we do like the boudin noir with onion No bread items with / after cooked breakfast unless we are on ferry!

If it is really hot or we are moving on I can't be bothered cooking / cleaning up again in the morning so I will ditch the low carb rules and have a fresh baguette, brioche or a croissant, president butter and fresh homemade raspberry jam or honey, marmalade for husband.

I have ditched the low carb rule too many times this summer and need to diet again

Always at least 2 cups Nespresso coffee.

This is another take on French "pains".

And we've grown to like French bacon. The smoked stuff, fried without any oil in a dry pan turns into something crisp and very tasty. Compared to the UK water injected rubbish it is in a different league. And they make some tasty sausages too.

I deliberately bought the french labelled stuff and farmers side markets on the road. Our stuff here from spain is vile, hard and crunchy or bruised to bits :/

Yes, as long as you try a decent pain au raison first

You take a food processor to France in your van ? Wow that's efficient !!! Tend to eat out mostly and just snack in the van while we're there.
