The famous "Full English" combines eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, mushrooms, and toast: it's the weekend breakfast. During the week, the British prefer a bowl of cereal or porridge, and buttered toast with marmalade, lemon curd, or jam, accompanied by a strong cup of tea.

Porridge is a gruel of oatmeal cooked in milk or water, a staple of British mornings, especially in Scotland. It only takes a few minutes in a saucepan or microwave. Quaker 's Oat So Simple sachets are even quicker. Sweeten it with golden syrup, honey, or fruit.

In the United Kingdom, marmalade is made exclusively from citrus fruits, most often bitter orange, with pieces of peel: either thin ("fine cut") or thick ("thick cut"). It has a more bitter and intense flavor than jam. Robertson's , Hartley's , Rose's , and Tiptree offer delicious marmalade.

It's a smooth lemon cream made with lemon juice, sugar, butter, and eggs. The British spread it on toast or scones , or use it to fill tarts. Tangy and creamy, it brightens up any breakfast.

These are whole wheat crackers, a British breakfast staple since the 1930s. They're crumbled into a bowl of milk, hot or cold, with a little sugar or fruit. Simple, nourishing, and very British.

The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
