What would you have for breakfast if faced with these choices? I'll give everyone a rating based on their answer.


A. Croissant and Pain au chocolat


B. Egg McMuffin and waffles


C. Mushroom and Ricotta panini with hint of pesto and sunblushed tomatoes.


D. Quails eggs and homemade bread with real Seville marmalade.


E. A full English: Egg, bacon, 2 sausages, beans and fried bread.


F. Cornflakes, milk and a slice of toast and Ronertson's Golden shread.

None of them. Firstly, I would NEVER have beans on a cooked breakfast. If I'm on holiday, I might have egg, bacon, mushrooms and toast but definitely no fried bread. I never have a cooked breakfast at home.


I usually have sultana bran topped with and oat-based cereal of fruit with skimmed milk.

Old but spicey!

I like muesli with yogurt and a banana sliced on top or a slice of granary toast with honey.  On holiday last week I did have the odd croissant and pain au chocolat.  Also an omlette.  But I can't stand fried breakfast.

P.S.  I'd definitely go for the 'C' option for lunch though!

Option C is typically chosen by the upper working to lower middle class, particularly those with well planned leisure time.

My breakfast is normally toast and marmite. On holiday I would have omelette. On the very very rare occasion I might have bacon, eggs and mushrooms but never beans and fried bread is a definite no no. Apart from the fact its disgusting it is proper heart attack food. some morning i have rice krispies or a yogurt. However this morning breakfast was a bar of Galaxy. So what's all that say about me.

Isn't it what's in your bloodlines that determines your class not wealth or what you eat for breakfast.

Given the choices I'd go for A, but why no pop-tarts on there?
