Glastonbury food with pictures

[Untz]

If I'm not too hungover I'll go to the green fields for a proper sit down and a massive veggie breakfast complete with hot drink in a ceramic mug - I find the ceramic helps with the delicate state of mind I often find myself in at that time. I wouldn't want one every day though.

I'll sometimes be on the hunt for a half decent bacon and carb option. There used to be somewhere in the Park that did a stellar bacon baguette (fairly generous portion of thick bacon, crusty light baguette), but I don't think it's there any more.

I think the trick is to be completely useless and roll out of bed as the stalls switch to lunch menus. Lazyitis wins again.

While that works, you still miss the first band (s) of the day.  I would generally recommend:

• Couple of cereal bars in the tent
• Fruit / yoghurt / milk
• First pint whilst watching the first band
• Larger plate of proper food, washed down with a second pint
• Third pint whilst watching the second band.

While fruit and veggie options all sound good. My problem is that I can't really eat fruit or veg. Not due to being fussy, due to crippling pain and vomiting that happens a few hours after. So eating at a festival tends to be a bit a chore for me as it all tends to be a bit samey

Or get up a bit later, eat the cereal bars on the way to the band and just postpone proper eating until after.

I've also been known to pick up food at 6am in the SE corner and eat it on the way back to tent. That puts off the morning hunger for a bit longer. It's non-breakfast food and as the stalls are shutting they are sometimes a bit more generous in their portion size. This relies on being in a coherent state and not enjoying the delights of hunger suppression drugs though.

I've decided I'm eating lobster and chips for breakfast as often as I can, due to not trying it at all last year.

I try to eat lobster or crab and chips as often as I can all year round.

Where do you camp?

Staying in Tangerine Fields for the first time this year so will be coming in via gate B towards the Pyramid Stage as I understand it. Should also mention that I don't eat meat, just to complicate matters further. 

Best breakfast last year was @Rubber Soldier's white Russian pre-mix + fresh milk from the stall. Sorted me right out.

It's the way forward as far as breakfast alcohol is concerned. My only mistake was not making more up than I did.

I bottle per person this year I think

Bloody Mary is the connoisseur's breakfast tipple of choice. But with all the trimmings. Plenty of tabasco to clear out one's pipes.

Nothing wrong with a white russian I should add.  Just not my preference.

I've never been a big fan of a Bloody Mary. Although it has been a long time since I tried one. Actually, I don't think I've ever had one properly made in a bar, it's usually a 10am-at-a-party type of drink that gets foisted on you because there's no mixer left.

Yeo Valley yoghurt is a godsend when utterly incapable of eating anything solid

Theres a lovely little cafe just inside the gate there on the right as you walk in. They do nice veggie bowls, superfood salads and great coffee. Really sorted my diabolical hangover out whatever day Robert Plant was playing. And provided shelter from the rain.

Sounds ideal, will give it a go.

I was winning at breakfast last year.

Found this yellow vw camper that did burgers during the day and evening, but did a brilliant breakfast for a fiver.  I think it was their meal for a fiver deal.

Sausage patty, melted cheese, bacon and a fried egg in a brioche bun.

I will try and find a photo of it.

Just grabbed this of their fb

Bubble & squeak?  I am all over that come June. Great shout Scruff.

That'll be tough as there isn't going to be a drop of rain this year!

That isn't going to stop the bedwetting listeners of Radiohead and Ed from saturating the Pyramid field.

Had a few great bloody mary's in 2015 with smoked vodka ... took me a good hour to nurse one on a hangover but a good way to get yourself going again
