Marks & Spencer Birthday Breakfast

I feel like I've done nothing but eat out lately! It was the boyfriends birthday yesterday so we decided to have breakfast out (that, and we ran out of bagels!). We took a trip to Marks and Sparks in Norwich for something tasty with the voucher my mum sent the boyfriend. 


I haven't eaten here since they had their refurbishment but it was very nice and we got to pick our seats which sounds silly but normally you just get dumped wherever the waitress can be bothered to walk to. 


We had freshly squeezed orange juice


The boyfriend had a full English breakfast, he didn't want black pudding (ugh!) or mushrooms (also ugh!) but they wouldn't give him anything else in its place like extra bacon so that was a bit of a let down if you don't enjoy eating congealed blood, which he doesn't. 


I, on the other hand, tried some eggs benedict which was absolutely lovely. I hadn't had it before and it really did taste very nice. I thought it was all priced quite reasonably too.

Supermarket's Own Brand

I like Alpen cereal for breakfast before work but it's not the cheapest cereal, so when the boyfriend said why don't you try the supermarket brand of it I thought yeah why not, it's probably the exact same thing.... eurgh. It is not. It is the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted... recently.


And so I'm adding it to the list of things you should always buy the branded version of:

  1. Ketchup
  2. Beans
  3. Alpen
I notice the supermarket brand says it has no artifical things in, perhaps thats the tasty ingredient missing? Have a pleasant Monday and think of me this week with no breakfast :(
