cooked for us by the lady of the house where we stayed in Cornwall; it will get you ready for the day - if you can move after eating so much food.

My breakfast these days is coffee. And more coffee.

Best ever breakfast I had was in Amsterdam - great bread, prosciutto, cheese, butter, jelly and cantaloupe.

That mexican one looks good to me though. Go figure.

I've had huevos rancheros in Arizona and made my own version.

One of my favorite breakfasts is something I made up myself. Torn, fried corn tortillas go on a plate, then steamed asparagus, pork chile verde, fried eggs sunny side up, and then queso fresco on top.

We have a recipe that uses thick pieces of french bread and the custard includes Cointreau. I haven't made it for years. It used to be the Christmas breakfast my mother traditionally made.

The eggs were soft-boiled and in a cloth napkin in a basket. I was there on business with my father. My parents had been to Germany a few years before and my mother really liked those eggs.

My dad and I were up early one day and saw some stainless steel egg cups like those at the hotel in a winsow display in the town square..We went in and attempted to buy those egg cups for my mother. It turned out the store was selling cupboards and full kitchens and the egg cups were just props. They gave the nutty Americans the egg cups without charge.

Gah. Not a huge caviar person anyway, but the picture reminded me of that McDonald's meat paste goo from a while back.

I remember when I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series being fascinated with the eating habits of the (Swedish) characters. Cheese and pickle sandwiches; pickled herring on a piece of bread. And gallons of coffee, of course.

The food seemed more "foreign" to me than anything else in the books (except maybe the clean, safe, book-filled prison) and really added to the ambience. I wondered about the impact of the cold Scandinavian environment on diet and tastes.

and the servings are not nearly that big. You usually get an egg or two, sausage or bacon, sometimes blood sausage, sauteed tomato and toast.

No one ever gave me Guinness for breakfast in Ireland, but they may have been keeping it for themselves.

I also seriously doubt most people in the Philippines can afford to eat meat for breakfast.

That Swedish thing looks disgusting. Sure doesn't look like caviar to me.

which is every so often...it's: 3 sausages, 3 rashers of bacon, 2 slices of toast with marmalade, grilled tomato, mushrooms, 3 sausages, 2 slices of black pudding (I skip the beans), and a fried egg. (There's a place near here that does what they call "the Fat Bastard" breakfast which is 4 rashers, 4 sausages, 2 eggs, 4 slices of black pudding, fried bread, etc.)

My friend there would always make toast after eating the cereal. But the yogurt always went on it. Both with her and it came with cereal wherever you went, on Qantas or at people's houses or other places. I guess you could choose not to put it on your cereal, but I did figuring I'd do it their way while there.

They are delicious.

When I worked in Trinidad we would go in the mornings down Long Circular Road across from the Long Circular Mall to the doubles cart.

They are steamy, hot and spicy.

Is it something about the wooden grips? I have a 226 with plastice grips but also have Hogue Rubber Grips.

96. That's a fancy inn breakfast

The non-negotiable components of a traditional Japanese breakfast are rice, miso soup, nori (seaweed), a raw egg (to be broken into your soup or rice) and green tea. The more expensive versions feature those other side dishes.

However, their version of a Western breakfast, sold as "morning service" in coffee shops, is thickly sliced toast with butter, a hard boiled egg, coffee, and a tossed salad with vinaigrette dressing.

My own breakfasts (when i have actual breakfast) consists of whipped eggs spread over pan-toasted homemade sourdough. Sometimes with some chorizo if I've got it. Chai milk tea, followed by plain greek yogurt.

It fools me into thinking I have a healthy an normal diet

107. I can attest to the validity of the Dutch one.

My parents are Dutch, and haagelslag is a big effing deal! LOL. And it is NOT the same as the candy crap we sprinkle on cakes and cookies, this is real, fine chocolate.

I used to sneak into the kitchen and pilfer a teaspoonful of it as a treat now and then (all the time). It's even more awesome to sprinkle it on bread and peanut butter.

I still buy a box whenever I run across it in specialty stores.

Best. Stuff. Evah!

108. no the actual middle class american breakfast

in a military household was cold cereal... occasional hot oatmeal or lumpy cream of wheat. Period.
Peanut butter/jelly sandwichs with chips and milk for lunch, meat and potatos for dinner. everyday.
My dad was a picky eater, nothing unusual, no food but what my mom cooked, if he didnt eat it we never saw it again.
You never helped yourself to the fridge or anything else, you didnt drink till you were done. You ate everything..... i used to have to stick stuff like brussel sprouts in my pocket to dump in toilet.....
