davjohns 1 #1 March 5, 2013 Personally, I love breakfast. Sometimes, I fix breakfast items like eggs for dinner. I was surprised to find it is so much different in Europe. My French buddy tells me a proper Frenchman has a croissant and black coffee. My English buddy described the versions of a 'Full English' breakfast to me. I experienced it firsthand last weekend. Egg, has browns, sausage, bacon (looked like ham to me), mushrooms, beans and toast. Some areas have variations that might include black pudding. I'm used to a Southern breakfast that is usually bacon, eggs, and toast. There are lots of different things you COULD have, of course. What's the tradition in your neck of the woods?I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,123 #3 March 5, 2013 Yogurt with nuts, wheat germ, and berries; juice, and either pancakes, cereal, muffins, oatmeal, or eggs (weekends get the more elaborate preparations). My husband and I make it together, and either visit or read the paper while we eat it. It's a great start to the day.

FlyingRhenquest 1 #7 March 5, 2013 Nearly every day for 7 years I had a breakfast burrito at the IBM cafeteria at their site here. This typically consisted of eggs, potatoes, tomatoes and green chili, wrapped in a flour tortilla and covered with more green chili. I never got tired of them and still miss them. Even when I try to make one, it never comes out the same. I've recently had a suggestion to get my flour tortillas from a tortilla factory, though. So I'll just have to find one, whip up another batch of green chili and try again! Usually I just get a poppy seed roll and some coffee. The hotel I stayed at in Romania put up quite a spread for breakfast. I don't know if it was Romanian breakfast items or what they thought western folk would like for breakfast, but it was very nice. They'd have a big bowl of yogurt, various kinds of cereal (but no milk, I gathered they expected you to use the yogurt,) some very salty cheese, and some fruit and vegetables. It actually seemed like pretty healthy fare, too. I kind of liked it.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

BillyVance 34 #8 March 5, 2013 When I make the time to fix breakfast, it's usually 2 or 3 eggs over medium, bacon and cinnamon toast. Otherwise its a bowl of cereal and milk, or a banana, or fig newtons if I stop at a store on the way to work... And almost always with a can of Mountain Dew or Mello Yello, depending on which brand is on sale at Winn Dixie. Looking at the title, I had the image of you eating beaks for breakfast...

oldwomanc6 38 #10 March 5, 2013 I don't like to eat first thing in the morning, so I usually don't eat breakfast, but I do love brunch. Things like huevos rancheros, or machaca and eggs, or any food I can go Christmas on (both red and green chile). Cheddar-cilantro waffles with red chile pork are as tasty as it gets! Yum! lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southern_Man 0 #11 March 5, 2013 Lately weekend breakfasts have consisted of homemade blueberry pancakes (with fresh blueberries) and including some or all of eggs, fried potatoes, and bacon. Just started making the blueberry pancakes and have gotten into the groove. On weekdays things are much simpler faster."What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

NWFlyer 2 #12 March 5, 2013 For me, breakfast always has protein (meat & eggs) and often has veggies - I make scrambles with homemade pork sausage, tons of veggies, and eggs - it's a way for me to get more veggies in my day. I'll often have a bit of fruit, too. No bread/bagels/muffins/croissants or anything of the like (at least not on an ordinary day - the very occasional - like twice a year - indulgence is different). No cereal. Preferably nothing processed. Bleh."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

wolfriverjoe 1,341 #13 March 5, 2013 Depends. At home, it's a good solid meal. Scrambled eggs with "stuff" in them. Mushrooms, onions, meat of some sort (ham or salami or pepperoni). Either toast or an English muffin, 1/4 canteloupe, glass of V-8 and coffee. On the road, it's usually 3 breakfast bars, a bananna or an orange, can of V-8 (the 11oz one, same as a soda, not the little one) and a mug of coffee. I keep the coffee to one on the road, instead of the pot that I have at home to keep the need to stop to a minimum. I still remember the old Bill Cosby commercials about "running out of gas" commercials. I can't function without a good breakfast."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
