Male Mindset

What does any man want at three AM? The same thing he wants any time of the day.

Whether it's three in the morning, or three in the afternoon. Whether it's twelve midnight or twelve noon.

Breakfast.

From the moment I get up, till the moment I go to sleep, I'm thinking about breakfast.

Pancakes are nice, but only in moderation. I've gone off them since I passed through my teenage years. Not sure why. They are complemented with golden syrup or jam, but not chocolate spread. That should be reserved for toast only. Even better on toast is butter and strawberry jam. Some people despise button and jam, I don't know why. Pate is the food of kings. On toast it transcends ambrosia.

Cut an apple into thin slices and eat it with some mild cheese. This is virtually the only time I eat cheese. A bowl of cereal is not too exciting, so a wheat biscuits with some sugar and skimmed milk would be my pick. Porridge is much better. Again, golden syrup complements this exceedingly well.

A glass of orange juice, and plenty of cool water too. A banana, peach, mango, and passion fruit smoothie if it's available.

Something a little more exciting perhaps. Hash browns, tomato ketchup, bacon in a toasted sandwich with tomatoes and lettuce. A croissant. A pork-and-apple sausage, a fried egg and tomato, baked beans... hell let's make a baked potato out of this baby and head into lunch territory. If you have a breakfast big enough then anything is possible.
