Playing favorites....

I prefer no meat. That's how I feel; it has no judgment whatsoever, except what apparently meat-eaters have placed there themselves.
All I have to do is mention I don't eat meat - no judgment there, it's a statement of fact - and I've had more meat-eaters than all the vegetarians in creation get angry with me. I've only had one vegetarian judge me for eating meat. I've had at least 25 people in the last month judge me for NOT doing so.
They don't think 'Well that's more for me to eat,' no. Apparently it's 'I have to be angry that you do this.' Well they're doing it to themselves because I've never done it.
In fact in one case, I even said aloud that "it's more meat for you." Didn't help.
Incidentally I'm not vegan. I eat eggs, drink milk and eat other milk products.
There's actually a reason for why I switched from eating meat to not consuming it, but it's way too personal and complicated to relate here what that health concern is.

That is so weird to me, having someone getting angry with you because you don't eat meat. How does that affect them? It doesn't. I've been on both sides, but eventually switched back to eating meat.
I once met a girl who didn't like ice-cream. I was shocked. But hey, it's like you said, more for me...

I love tofu - soft, firm, you name it. I use it in stir-fries or to make smoothies. Delicious.
Not a jelly fan unless it's aspic.

Question for everybody: What's one food you have tasted but don't like?

That would be either a full English or cooked breakfast (not sure what you call it in the US) or a bacon sandwich.

Why people get all bent out of shape about the eating habits of others, something that is none of their business, I will never know...

Sometimes I listen to this chiropractor's radio show. Today he spoke about the difference between today's meat products and those of years ago. He said that some modern meat-eaters are more energetic or aggressive due to adrenalin and other hormones and substances in the meats due to processing differences.

How do you like your spuds prepared? I loved mashed.

I suppose that is possible, though I question whether it's been proven, but regardless, if someone is aggressive, I would question that person's behavior, not his or her eating habits. Which are none of my business unless I'm the possible menu.

Mashed or baked (PROPERLY baked) ... or sometimes, we do this thing called criss-cross potatoes. You halve potatoes the long way and cut a half-inch grid into the cut surface of each half. Then you put them face down in a baking dish with melted seasoned butter (usually I use seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder). Then bake them at 375 for 40 minutes or so. The seasoned butter "sucks up" into the grid, and the bottom crisps a nice brown. We don't eat potatoes very often, but that is a tasty way to have them.

We call it ... breakfast.

Okay, okay. The most similar thing to that, if you got it in a cafe or restaurant, is usually called a "classic" breakfast. Typically, the standard is two eggs, however you want them, bacon or sausage (not both), hash browns, and toast. No baked beans. (In Murika, baked beans are mostly for eating with barbecue or grilled meats. No, grilled meat and barbecue are not the same thing.) No bubble and squeak. Coffee, not tea. Optional: pancakes or waffles instead of toast. Corned beef hash. Omelet.

At home, though, seriously, we would just call that breakfast. Or maybe a hot breakfast. Typically, for most people, it's a weekend thing; weekday mornings are too rushed. I agree that a hot breakfast (any ol' time of day) is spectacular.

Eggs. I lurve eggs. Cheese is also fabulous.

Interesting.

A typical full English breakfast would be bacon, eggs (fried or scrambled), sausages, mushrooms, baked beans and/or tomatoes, fried bread and a cup of tea/coffee with a slice of toast. Some places serve hash browns or black pudding... but the less said about black pudding, the better!

You're right, a cooked breakfast is a gift from the gods! Sets you up for the day a treat.
