(Geordie) A meal of milk and bread boiled.
British slang for a hearty full cooked breakfast — the kind of calorie-dense, no-nonsense plate of food associated with tradespeople starting a long day of physical work. A builder's breakfast typically means eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, toast, mushrooms, tomatoes, and black pudding, usually eaten at a greasy spoon cafe rather than a fancy brunch spot. The name celebrates unpretentious, working-class fuel culture. It's eaten by builders, yes, but also by absolutely everyone who needs serious sustenance and has no time for avocado toast.
(Scotland) Oatmeal mixed with boiling water or milk.
