Breakfast for me has to be ludicrously simple. It normally consists of multiple three in one coffee sachets and either long life, individually wrapped pain au chocolate, or cobs pre-made & wrapped in clingfilm at home by me, and containing; Cream cheese, finely chopped jalapeños, bacon, fresh chopped coriander & sweet chilli sauce. Lunch is often a cheat in the RidgeMonkey - Findus Crispy pancakes work well, particularly when accompanied by the first beer of the day.
Evening meal is often cooked over the Cobb BBQ and is frequently something that I prepare at home, ready to grill. Bernard's KFC-alike is a good one; Chicken thighs in cornflour, garlic granules, cayenne pepper, sweet paprika & celery salt chucked on the rack for 20 minutes or so and served with coleslaw, posh crisps and an excessive quantity of a fine amber ale.
