Anchor breakfast ideas

Soak oats mixed with a bit of dried fruit, grated apple and some mixed seeds overnight in apple juice. Next morning, dish into a bowl and and a couple of tablespoons of Greek yoghurt. I often zest and orange and add the juice to the the oats before adding the apple juice. Some cinnamon also works well.

Interesting thread.

A question; can you freeze butter & margarine?

Those foil packets of spud are really good; trouble is tracking them down. I've done flatbread: flour plus pinch of bicarb. Make into a dough with milk, water or yoghurt and knead for a bit. Roll flat and cook in frying pan but on low heat. Could be same as bannocks

I found Waitrose usually had the foil packs but also found them in Carrefour Cherbourg. Also bought their boil in bag reheat able meals like spag Bol. Chilli con carne, chicken curry, sweet 'n sour chicken and others thinking of Carrefour reminds me of the tins of cassoulet, what septics here call pork 'n beans and what I call disgusting, but the froggy ones were good, in a bowl with a bit of bread to dunk if sailing or on toast if wanting 'posh'.

Oh yes-ask me how I know!

We used to keep gundogs, English Pointers. Large kennel and run outside, they were rarely in the house.

First Mate and I would do a big shop and the large chest freezer would be topped up. Butter from our local producer was put in the freezer too, by the dozen half pounds.

Our dogs always came in the house on November 5th-if they stayed out they set up a real howl.

First mate put half a pound of frozen butter on the kitchen countertop ready for weighing and cakemaking.

She turned her back for a moment to get a sharp knife to divide the pack of butter, only to see it dissapearing down our dog pointers throat, paper and all!

The only thing that beat that dog in the edible stakes was a slice of lemon discarded from a Gin and Tonic outside the Rock of Gibraltar pub at Bletchingdon. After half an hour dear old Punch decided it was not for him.

I do miss that grand big hearted dog!

Thanks for the answer.. & the great story too!

Butter lollies?

We often have half a small melon each for breakfast. But if feeling the need for carb loading, then pancakes are the answer, made with water and egg, served with maple syrup. If available, a few rashers of streaky become round it out.
But not running a fridge? Madness not to. How else do you keep the beers cold? Fit some more solar panels or run the engine a bit more. You know it makes sense.

Pancakes for me as well, use UHT, dried milk or water.

I also make chappattis - brown flour, water and a pinch of salt, baked over a low flame in a fry pan.
About 1/2 the thickness of bannocks, the secret is in the hand-throwing and continual pressing out of the dough, before cooking. Great with butter while hot.
I find baking home-made bread in the oven, or the pressure-cooker, too much of a hassle, but sometimes use those part-bake loaves sold in every supermarket of any size, over the whole of Europe.
