I have baguette toasted on one of those toasters for a gas ring.

You can't beat French bread for that(y)

We could have done with more than one option. Toast is only part of a touring breakfast. Toast with an egg or fruit.
I know, the list cld have been endless, but toast meant just toast. Will amend the eggs one to eggs and toast :) Was interested in how many peeps stick to their usual british type fayre and how many enjoy the french nosh first thing. We camped next to one couple who wldn't entertain eating anything other than a fry up first thing and went as far as stocking up on british sausages !!!

Apart from a baguette nothing else takes my fancy for breakfast. Croissant Choc au pain or Pain au raison are ok for women but hardly a mans choice. Toast with a bit of fruit or a boiled egg Yum.

To be fair tho, some of the pain au raisons are massive, I'll try and upload my pic of the one this hols, bigger than a larger than large scary tabloid spider !! :france:

In fact, in my experience, pains aux raisins are real virility enhancers. Give me a pain aux raisins man any day!;););)

Croissants for me with a local honey mmmm.:):)
We bought some lavender honey when we were nr St Remy, not tried it yet. Not a lover of croissants, they don't feel filling but are nice with fruit, determined to try them now with honey :D ....... when I'm off the diet next May !!!

And the fruit seems ready to eat as well, not rock hard as often the case in the UK. We finished off the peaches today, they were of the flat, mouth-shaped variety, can't remember the proper name for them, but they were yummy. Had them after our usual lunchtime salad.

Which might be a good subject for a second poll - we have cold meats, cheese and salad virtually every day for lunch unless we eat out.

Start of every trip I buy a jar of local honey to have with my croissants then have the rest at home with porridge.
