The Ovulo Carbonaresis Association of Support Groups 


Feeding an OV sufferer almost always places an intolerable financial burden on their family.  Whilst we encourage all OV sufferers to take steps to break their addiction, there is always a time when the only answer is a cooked breakfast or better still a mixed grill.  In order that we may continue to help selected individuals pleas make a donation below.

We guarantee that every penny donated will be spent directly on providing cooked breakfasts for known OV sufferers.

What's in a Name?

The English Disorder, Lorry Driver's Disease, All-day Breakfast Syndrome, these are just some of the names for Ovulo Carbonaresis, itself just a regional variant of the little known Cultural Food Identification Syndrome.  The same disorder that induces British road hauliers to eat mostly pork products can be linked directly to the Redneck American suffering from BBB (Beans, Burger, and Barbecue) and the masses of Germans who constantly crave a large sausage.

The English Disorder

This name arises from the fact that most recovering Ovular Carbonarivores will start the long slow road to recovery by turning to other traditional English dishes.  One dish that is just one step away from the full breakfast is The Mixed Grill.  Indeed this is so often the first "non morning" dish for OV's that they commonly refer to as "Methadone on an Oval Plate" or "Going on the MOP" or "Under the Grill".

Lorry Drivers Disease

Whilst no more than 9% of OV sufferers have work or have worked in the road haulage industry, this is still an abnormally high showing for any given industry, surpassed only perhpas by the prevalence of anorexia amongst supermodels.

If you feel that you or someone you know may be suffering from this condition then contact us now for further help & information.
