=====================
 ML> Breakfast stuff is likely to be unchallenging if not insipid.
 ML> I can't think of a regular breakfast sweet that isn't.
 JW> Breakfast doesn't have to be bland or sweet, although it often is.

Well, that's not quite what I said.

 JW> Think bacon, double smoked, thick sliced and well trimmed.
 JW> A hundred kinds of sausage, many quite spicy.
 JW> Good ham, boneless pork and lamb chops, small steaks, kidneys,
 JW> mushrooms. With a large variety of herbs, spices, sauces and
 JW> condiments to complement.

Agreed on all of these, except for the small steaks, which should
as they say not be served on a day with a Y in it. But they're
all likely to be unchallenging, unless they be devilled kidneys,
and even then.

 JW> On the starchy side, plain oatmeal is loathsome but it can be
 JW> fortified with oat bran, wheat germ and hemp seeds and doctored up
 JW> with apples, walnuts, raisins, cinnamon and demerara sugar. (That's
 JW> what we had this morning as a first course.)

Not my sort of thing.

 JW> Even bland cream of wheat is interesting with dried cranberries or
 JW> cherries and honey.

Bland cream of wheat is improved by a large dollop of vanilla
and a faint wee sprinkle of cinnamon, making it middle easternlike.

 JW> ... A breakfast of ruint eggs and harsh browns.

Harsh browns, I like that, though (having had them) I don't
like _them_.

Mmm, how to palatabilize breakfast sweet gukka:
