At various times in my life, a "breakfast of champions" has specifically referred to:

--A kit-kat and a Coke
--Powdered sugar donuts and a Sprite

I had to eat the menu in question on a very regular basis (and specifically for breakfast) before I ever considered it for champion status.

I can't imagine having softdrink (soda/pop) for breakfast.

Maybe a donut with a coffee? I don't think I'd call it the breakfast of champions though. lol

I suppose I think of a champion breakfast as something healthy which will give you energy. Of course, that means I don't think nutrigrain fits the bill either. ;)

I'd go for a good quality muselie(sp?) with some yoghurt and fruit on top. Now that's a breakfast of champions.

Oats are good too...specially when you pop to dried fruit in at the start of the cooking process so it plumps up nicely. yummo!

Wheaties is the breakfast of champions.

I can't eat breakfast, it ruins my whole day.

Well, sure, that was the original meaning of the cliche (maybe it's not a cliche in Australia? It was a Wheaties cereal slogan for years, as jinx noted.) But I make it a point to be ironic as often as possible, or insincere at the very least. :)

If it helps explain it any, it was only breakfast in that it was still morning and I had not eaten anything else. It wasn't like 7 AM in my pajamas or anything. The Coke/kitkats were while driving to school, and the donuts/Sprite were after I got to work at this particular employer who had really awesome powdered sugar donuts in the vending machine. They changed suppliers at some point, and that's when I stopped the habit.

yeah Clod, breakfast of champions is a slogan for nutrigrain over here, but I didn't know it was a slogan for a cereal over there although I suppose I should have guessed it must have been.

Ah. Cultural differences.

Let's hear it for two slices of cold pizza, from the fridge, in last night's take-out pizza box. Accompanied however.

Here's a good looking Muesli recipe from Mister Breakfast's site. (Surf this site only if you want to awaken your appetite -- I rather avoid it unless I'm eating at the keyboard 'cos I think the place is calorically dangerous!) It seems homemade is the way to go with muesli, and it seems it should really include two particular ingredients to bring it to full potential: orange juice or concentrate in the soaking fluid, and either yoghurt or powdered milk to enrich. I picked that recipe of several on Mr. Breakfast because it had yoghurt and a banana in it. Muesli's pretty free-form. Adding powdered milk can do a lot for any muesli recipe.

gotta love Belushi
 

No, no, no: This is the breakfast of champions:

God, please let my SS be Australian...

Those sound SO good whenever you guys talk about them.

They are good case. I'll send you a packet if you like.

Thats what I was going for when I mentioned my seriously *healthy* snack of milo and rice bubbles.

I can't believe I ate Chrismas cookies with wheat in them yesterday... I paid the price.

Does that mean that you ate nothing?

Less than nothing, I guess.


Edit: with just a dash of flavor.

Oooops, was still thinking about little chocolate donut training.
