Your Glastonbury Breakfast - Official Thread 2023

[sime]

Cereal bar at my tent (always have them in my day bag too as a quick and easy snack) and then find a vegan place for a late breakfast/early lunch which will keep me going till I need to eat again around 7pm. 

[ukmountie]

Fluffy duck was my breakfast spot for a few years. Haven’t really replaced it yet, just whatever catches my eye.

if I’m in the van I’ll prob get something there, but in the tent, once the heat drives me out I’ll go looking. 

[Boris]

My childish rule which I've maintained into sustained adulthood is red wine must be the first thing I consume each day, whether I want to or not.

Heh.. just remembered convincing my fellow campers to have Absinthe for breakfast. We didn't have sugar so made do with a sweetex in each 😂

Did you find the cheeky absinthe joint last year?

[catavento]

Dehydration salts, energy drink, a can to get me started, and then food options are either something from Children's World (if you know you know), a kedgeree from the Goan Fish place, or some Hare Krishna porridge. Can't go wrong with any of those really. 

[MEGABOWL]

Always take flapjacks and Belvitas with me, thinking of taking some good dark chocolate as well this year. That’s my starter at the tent with a Berocca and a sports drink (another SIS promoter here). Then I grab a brekkie/brunch wherever I get chance and ideally a smoothie too.

I don't really get the berocca thing. Its just a bog standard multi vitamin but its 20 times the price of the others. 

Same as this.

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

Absolutely love Spam, proper guilty pleasure.

Spam fritters.  Slices of spam battered and fried. Used to get them at school dinners. Healthy eating!

Ever been to Hawaii? They love it there! 17 varieties, spam sushi…

[gfa]

silly berocca, paracetamol, red bull mix in a bottle + bacon and egg bap for like £6 = job done

[Mrs Dubs]

We camp at Bath & West so it’s Bacon barms or a couple of pieces of doorstop toast on the camping stove, several cups of tea, then beer on the shuttle to Gate A and we’re ready to go again ! 🥳

I have no stamina for queuing for breakfast so like to bring the stove and live the good life...

This is very much me. We camp in bushy and there arent many good food options near and i’m a “once youre out of the campsite, you’re out for the day” kind of person.

So we bring a campingaz and do stuff like scrambled eggs and bacon or instead chorizo, as it keeps very well. Because we are a bit mental / extra we bring pre-sliced sourdough bread and toast it. Campsite cup of tea is always disappointing due to the tap water at the fest having chemicals in it but we still do it. Bring fruit juice boxes too.

Youre ready to face the day then! Luxury of bringing the car, i’ll admit. But nowhere near the luxury of a camper! Also the washing up is not fun. 
If there is an absolute must see early doors then we’ll grab something on the way but its not my preference. If you buy breakfast you need to find somewhere thats not very near any campsites to avoid a massive que. Anything at the park is a write off these days.

I enjoyed the suggestion of bagels, might start bringing those

Bacon and egg batch and a cup of strong tea with plenty of sugar in, feel great after that and ready to get on the ale again. 

+1 for the use of Batch

Thins and this only, normal Bagels far too thick and stodgy.

Switch in coffee for tea and we have a winner.

[Justcalledtosay]

Also you don’t necessarily need the SiS stuff in particular. Any cheap rehydration sachets will do the same thing.

I'm not sure what you mean, but I'm tempted to seek it. 😳

Thanks! I see it as a money saver as breakfast for 3 people and cups of tea is like what £8 a day over 5 days?

£8 x 3 x 5  =£120

One you have the equipment (campingaz, canisters, bread toaster thing, kettle) youre looking at say £20 a year max to get a new toasty thing annually £5 and the ingredients so saving £100 per fest

We did similar last year. Bacon and egg sarnies with aeropress coffee and porridge pots all done on a stove. Like you said clean up was bugger but we're on the bus this year so we won't be carrying all that kit with us.

There was a tiny little place serving absinthe, could fit maybe 4 people in at a time 🤫

Yeah its not really an option if on the coach. If its any consolation our bags are extremely heavy and we bring too much stuff really which is a big struggle! You cant win, unless youre in a camper!
