Your Glastonbury Breakfast - Official Thread 2023

[beerofthedark]

Always used to be fresh fruit and Veggie Full English from stalls at the Greenpeace field, then pop over the track for coffee at the Tiny Tea Tent for me and a NormaliTea  for the missus. But for the first time ever I'm not going with the missus, and also going childfree for the first time in 10 years so i have no idea what i'm doing this time around.

Everything mate, do it all, go large...

After much debate, it'll be bacon and sausage baps at camp with a carton of arrange juice before heading out for the day. Will likely take diaoralyte at night before bed and a SIS tablet with caffeine in the morning.

Dosas for breakfast never disappoint but the place that does them is rarely open before 12. 

The new Sri Lankan place in the Other was doing hoppers for breakfast last year, which are in the same ballpark.

Lebanese mezze in the Park did a quite nice vegan shakshuka last year. Tofu scramble was pretty beginner but the rest of it was great.

Best one we had was sausages mash and gravy with little crispy onions on top. Lovely mash, moving through your body, enveloping and consuming all the hangover like The Thing.

[The Red Telephone]

White Russian. And a cereal bar.

Must have missed it last year. Not massive on eggs but if they do kottu I’ll be straight over, that stuff is perfect for a hangover

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - they got you.

[philipsteak]

Ooh, I like the sound of that. I do like Sri Lankan food but never heard of kottu before. That's on the list to try.

I do try to never eat at the same place twice throughout the festival, even for breakfast. So I'll be up for a mixture of whatever I can find.

That Mexican place in West Holts is always good though.

Generally for breakfast I go with smallest queue so usually end up not eating traditional breakfast fare. Last year I had poutine/ pizza etc. It's usually about brunch time rather than breakfast time proper before I am looking for something so I figure anything goes.

[Jacko45]

This is what I'm envisaging for my first mornings brekky.

Same 

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Coffee and Donuts near Williams Green.

Avalon Cafe was a top discovery a few years back for a healthy-ish meat-free breakfast, although think I saw someone on here say it's run by different people now so no idea if the menu has changed as well.

Had it pretty much every day in Sri Lanka for breakfast/lunch, though it's more of a dinner thing there. Top of the list for Sri Lankan food, outstanding stuff.

I'm in a van so freshly ground coffee (I take a grinder. Yeah, I know a lot of you take a grinder. I don't mean that kind), orange juice, scrambled eggs on toast, maybe halloumi, some tomatoes, toast. I'm not veggie but it's a very small van so don't fancy cooking bacon. It'd stink the place out. Or if I'm in more of a rush, a porridge pot or pain au chocolate or similar. Or if I'm really in a rush, a cereal bar. And fruit too.

Gonna have to rethink though this year. Newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (and trying for remission) so the fruit juice, toast, cereal bars etc are out. The eggs and what have you will be fine and looking for more easy low carb stuff to do. And for the rest of the meals too. Any suggestions gratefully received (that includes from stalls). Snacks on shift will be the hardest. Haribo has got me through many a night shift 

Do you have a fridge in your van? I love having crustless quiche ready to go, can be for breakfast/lunch.  I have been on and off keto for a while so sometimes just have a butter coffee which keeps me going. Could have an avocado with some seeds/nuts/chilli flakes mixed in.

I am sure there used to be a stall at Glastonbury called Big Fat Salad boxes or something similar which did a great breakfast. Havent seen it in years - anyone else heard of it?

It’s gotta be Berocca Boost - it’s the guarana! Add a hydration tablet and you’re a new person!

Guarana is a great thing - I used to get these..

Not a proper fridge but I've got a powered cool box and a solar panel so it can keep stuff pretty cool.

Avocado is a good shout.

Snacks is going to be variations on nuts, seeds, roasted beans and chickpeas. Recently discovered roasted broad beans. So good. Possibly no good for keto but fine for what I want

Has anyone ever seen anywhere on site that does iced coffees? If it’s warm it would be nicer than hot coffee I reckon, and I’m bring hazelnut vodka that would be superb in iced coffee!

There was one in West Holts on the Latina side the last couple of years, and the hot nuts stand on the top corner of William's Green did it as well. Don't think it's too rare on site tho, those are the two spots I remember but there's a few all around the joint. Really nice in the heat. I don't start boozing until the heat eases off in the afternoon these days, what with me delicate constitution.

I used to work for a company that supplied Yeo Valley with machinery bits, so I was in regular contact with them - they sent me an absolute stack of vouchers for free festival yoghurt, basically for me and everyone who was there with me - must’ve got through at least two big pots a day each. Wonderful stuff and I still miss them too, I’d even happily pay 😊
