Can I be in on this too! I wuv Kedgeree. And I agree, it is actually quite light as we aren’t looking at a stodgy fatty sauce or anything. The only problem is it is so nice, you might want to eat much, much more.

That said sticky rice seems wrong for it.

Sarah I swear the *moment* i get back to the uk i am making you kedge! Well, some time that week, at least. It is deeeeee lish. And quite light a meal, i think? Probably lighter than the kind of greasy pastries you get in hotel breakfasts.

Some idiot nutritionist was having a go at Lil Chris for having curry for breakfast the other day in an idiot magazine. Curry for breakfast is K.Awesome (esp Sri Lankan breakfast curry). Indeed breakfast as main meal of the day is the best way to roll in my book. Though timings, timings, timings…

Kedgeree is smashing, but for me, more as a main meal. I can’t manage large meals before the sun is over the yard arm. A nice bowl of porridge is quite enough to last till lunchtime.

I *still* am yet to have kedgeree and I do not trust it. No wonder We Do Not Have An Empire if THAT’S the sort of thing wot the colonialists got up to. *pulls face*

Yes I think rice and soup for breakfast is PROBABLY good as well but it still seems too much like a MEAL (full english is special hungover occasions only and thus I am not really counting as a ‘general breakfast item’ here). Maybe if I had stuff sitting around in a rice cooker I could get behind this ‘rice for breakfast’ idea; actually grilled rice balls sound like an EXTREMELY good breakfast idea but I could never be a.rsed to make any of a morning, I don’t even make TOAST of a morning. Oh man I want grilled rice balls now.

Heathrow is sort of the future, isn’t it?? I love getting the National Express via Heathrow, it’s like the past meets the future all jumbled up in one glorious Present (and it always breaks my heart a little when my coach drives away and I do not find myself on a plane to places new but instead I’m going to rub old Gloucester).

“asa gohan v £3.95″

I take it that v is not for ‘vegetarian’ in this case?

Ahaaaa it’s optional, I getcha. That’ll teach me to skim read.

I understand that they are trialling this breakfast menu in advance of serving it at Heathrow Terminal 5, so presumably it will be available there in FUTURE. I am still a bit WTF by the whole thing, tho.

kedgeree for breakfast = fine

rice, miso, tsukemono, optional fish for breakfast = fine (in fact rice for breakfast is brilliant! nb i have not met any japanese person who claims to regularly eat a trad asagohan. but i’ve seen people eat it on tv.)

okonomiyaki for breakfast = WHAT THE SWEET BEJESUS

I have heard rumours of these olden days but I do not believe them.

Furthermore I do not believe that in spite of what Holiday Inns and continental hostelries purport, that breakfast for our pals across the tunnel consists every single day of eg a giant salami, processed cheese slices 20 french sticks and a table full of cakes. It simply can’t! Think of the digestion!!

Then again I am not really one for breakfast myself in general, unless I am at a hostelry with breakfast included then I have about 50 servings HURRAH.

in the days of empire, breakfast = includes deviled kidneys AND kedgeree (= haddock curry)
