Christmas Day Breakfast?

Presuming that there isn't a staggeringly vomitous hangover in place, it would historically be just dips and things from the fridge. Or whatever chocklit might be available. It's the annual celebration of eating rubbish at unsuitable times, after all.

? Now that's what I call professional eating!

I have to say, that if I save myself too much for a meal I end up feeling sick and not able to eat at all. I have to gently stretch myself with warm up morsels in preparation.

Camperkid is angling for a full English breakfast to include scrambled egg, bacon, sausage, toast, black pudding etc. I'll be trying to steer him in the direction of bacon butties. I'll be having bacon butties and decent brewed coffee and oj. Camperbub will be having toast with a bit of butter and some Ready Brek and a bottle of milk?

As I'm doing all the cooking that day, I'm trying to follow the path of least amount of work for me!

As kids, we used to have chocolate biscuits for breakfast on Christmas Day!

Nowadays, we usually have tea and croissants. Nothing too heavy as we go out for lunch on Christmas Day and are eating a big meal at 1pm.

It's champers and croissants and other pastries at my parents and a choice of smoked salmon and scrambled egg or bacon rolls with mimosas at my in-laws.

Christmas dinner isn't till late afternoon at either house though.

? @ Stelly, that's fantastic!

Well this year it's all a bit different - so we are having and early breakfast of Poinsettia (the champagne cocktail not the plant!) with brie and cranberry jelly croissants followed by

Then, as we'll be walking, we are taking a mini-picnic comprising a thermos of mulled wine, mushroom pate/smoked salmon and cream cheese/ardennes pate and fruit chutney/asparagus and hollandaise hors d'œuvres and mince pies.

Which should take us through to lunch at 3pm when we're having a five-course meal at Little Bay.... I actually haven't even thought beyond this into the evening but I'm going to Borough market the Sunday beforehand so I imagine there will be nibbly meats, hot bread rolls and salad/olives/peppers galore to pick at.

We have Bacon Croissants and Bucks Fizz (except I don't like oj so I usually have a token glass and then move rapidly onto the non diluted stuff)

We usually have crusty doorstop bacon sandwiches with BF after opening the presents, but I've got so much to do this year I think we're going down the pain au chocolate and coffee route.

Chef's tipple starts around 10am, I'm normally half splukered by midday ?

Another ?? for Stelly - you and my brother would have much to talk about.

G&T and I always go round to my parents on Christmas eve for a Chinese takeaway - who really wants to cook the night before . . .

Anyway, my dad always overorders so when bro arrives Christmas morning, there are piles of leftovers in the fridge which he dumps onto a plate (to a height of four inches), microwaves and eats for breakfast.

Pure class.

Christmas dinner is like a Sunday lunch in our house. We always go overboard for sunday lunch so we're fully prepared thus we also eat breakfast as well and nibbles inbetween.

Tradition in our house is an english breakfast. Sausage meat patties, bacon, egg and toast. My H tends to prefer just Lancashire fat back bacon (just the fat of the bacon) Sandwich as it reminds him of home. In all honesty i rarely eat much of the breakfast i've cooked at i'm too busy during the morning tidying up boxes and fussing about in the kitchen. So it's a waste and i have no idea why i still do it. Actually i think i wont this year. I'll just get some bacon in and some crusty bread. Sorry a bit of a boring babble.

I'm with P&P, usually some choc in there too ?

Chocolate santa, some selection box and a black coffee.

Bucks fizz and tinned grapefruit. The tinned grapefruit goes back to our childhood when my sister and I were only ever allowed fresh fruit - could have as much as we wanted, but were not allowed tinner. So at Christmas it was a real treat and for some reason it's stuck.
