This. There was another thread where people were talking about not being able to eat, this solves that as well.

I only ever drink cider for breakfast while at Glastonbury. I start on the Wednesday morning.

Pre-packaged pain au chocolate nicely warm from the tent, a cereal bar and a banana.

Then skin up, have a joint and a beer on way to either manic organic or kedgeree at Goan fish curry. 

Works every time.

Yeo Valley was always the best big pot of yoghurt with a bag of muesli. Shame not there any more.

I opened this thread and saw people are dipping bread in tea for their breakfast and now I’m thoroughly depressed.

Old and traveling by coach, so no way I would carry any of this stuff, but have in the past when budget dictated it. I always hated washing up when cooking stuff in a pan, that's a big driver for me, plus tbh the stuff there (as long as you look for it) is just so much nicer. 

Actually nice to follow your pallet too, which does vary depending what I'm up to and what else I've eaten or drunk.

Hahahaha, this is so true. What was wrong with them and why were they so slimey?? My Mum used to make a potato salad with them. Gross. 

I swear they used to form about 75% of my gran's diet.

We take a small camping stove and cans of Beans/sausages and Spaghetti hoops. 

Also take breakfast bars. Im not a huge breakfast person so that usually does me!

Very small once packed away so can fit in a rucksack pocket and really kicks out some heat. So much better than those briefcase style ones. 

 

I have bought one of those but not used it yet, are they pretty easy to use? How  much fuel do you need for the festival?

so, going to glasto is a long held dream for me which is finally coming true! 

I'm obviously more excited than a kid before Christmas and have duly read as much of this thread as I can, watched every blog, stared at the map for hours, worked spotify into submission etc etc in order to vent my excitement.

the only question that I don't think I've seen asked/answered is about breakfast! 

I don't want to buy one every morning and won't always be in the mood for one but.... 

can anyone recommend a good breakfast which will survive being in a tent for 4 days?

im currently thinking of... bread (obvs), mushrooms (no not that kind!), chorizo, maybe beans. maybe. 

any gastronomic advice welcome! 

 

tl:dr

breakfast suggestions please. 

 

Strong Coffee. 2 teaspoons

Hot water. 3rd of a pint

Jack Daniels. 2 Shots

Honey. 1 to 2 teaspoons to taste

Mix all in a suitable container

Possibly in a small room.?

Drink.

I only bring a handful of protein bars with me to the site, so my breakfast usually begins with a little stroll from my tent at Pennards, to grab something from the Park, via the long drops at the top. Don’t start drinking until at least midday.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Notoriously scant brekkie options in The Park, mind.  There's the fruit place, I guess, but your money doesn't go very far there.

Tangfastics

if its hot this is what happens to tangfastics in your tent

 

[StormCrow]

I normally have flapjacks on waking then head out to manic organic for fruit salad and muesli 

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's what your spork is for.

[benc]

No one has mentioned Buckfast, which is almost spelt the same as breakfast. No stove required.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Unless the buckie causes you stove someone's head in.

[WStoner]

Stove for porridge / going without / buying something from one of the vendors is the best option.  

Individually wrapped cereal bars or brioche etc. are nice but waaaaay too much un-recyclable plastic

You see this is close to the sort of breakfast I have at home and can't bring myself to spend money on at a festival.  I'd rather skip "breakfast" and have a more interesting meal a bit later.  And then another one later on.

Surely individual porridge pots use more waste than a pack of brioche? They don't need to be individually wrapped! I tried giving up plastic to the extent that I don't eat anything even in a plastic bags (plastic free July)...it's pretty much impossible in the current world of packaging and almost sends you loopy
