Breakfast foods: savory or sweet?

[Katie Meadow]

I can be happy with sweet or savory as mood dictates, or availability allows. French toast, certainly. Leftover pizza, why not. Wontons in broth or out, if only. But there's a major caveat: someone has to put iit in front of me. I can barely push down my own toast in the morning.

@Smithy Fried bread is literally deep-fried sliced white bread. Conventionally it would be deep-fried in lard. It's a very traditional part of a cooked breakfast in the UK, but deeply unfashionable. Nowadays it's usually replaced by buttered toast. I've only had it a very few times in my life, on trekking holidays etc. Funny seeing it on an NHS hospital breakfast menu, but that breakfast would be deeply tempting after an overnight on-call. 

 

 

I never had any appetite after being up all night.  Just some eggs and maybe a bagel for me... and coffee

I found after a long painful overnight call that a greasy breakfast was just what the doctor ordered!

I am loving this variety of physicians' ways to end an on-call all-nighter! And I can promise you that when my husband was stuck in hospital (as a patient, not a physician) he'd have been deeply envious of rotuts. 🙂
