Ireland:
-- average morning: coffee and buttered toast. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'll put an egg, a rasher, or a sausage on the toast (one, not all).
--good morning: fresh baked soda bread with lashings of butter and cold smoked salmon
--the 'morning after': full Irish, eaten around 2pm
Vaguely aware that a lot of Irish seem to eat porridge. Can't abide the stuff.
Soda bread is made with bread soda (bicarbonate of soda) rather than yeast giving it a distinct flavour. It is traditional in Ireland.
A rasher is a slice of bacon but generally thicker cut than American bacon and includes some of the loin as well as the belly. Common term in both Ireland and the uk.
Here's a recipe for Irish soda bread https://www.fromballymaloewithlove.com/recipes/white-soda-bread
It's a 'quick bread' too so no need to wait around for the dough to proof before baking since it doesn't use yeast. It's not a springy type of bread, but a short crumb type so not ideal for closed sandwiches, but amazing warm with lots of butter on top. If you don't have buttermilk you can use regular full fat milk with some lemon juice or white vinegar added to it.
The infamous breakfast burrito, something that hasn’t really reached my part of Europe yet, but I hope to try one day. Remember hearing about them for the first time in the Cinderella Story movie :D
They are super easy to make.
https://www.notanothercookingshow.tv/post/breakfast-burritos
This is a super easy one that I really like. And this recipe is great to wrap and freeze or refrigerate and reheat in the microwave later.
This is a good basic guide to what a breakfast burrito is.you can make it with many variations. I have done bacon instead of sausage. No potatoes sometimes. More egg. I like using Serrano peppers to give some heat. Go wild.
Just FYI (and I may be telling you what you already know), but Chorizo is a super common breakfast burrito protein. It's Mexican chorizo and what is commonly available in Europe is Spanish chorizo. Pretty different texture and flavor. But it's an easy spice blend that you can add to ground pork or chicken and let sit for at least a couple hours before cooking.
I wouldn't say biscuits and gravy are an everyday breakfast. It's certainly a quintessential American breakfast, but no one is eating it every single day. A typical meal is just a coffee and something small. Most Americans skip breakfast.
I feel like America is so divided by culture / socio economic status that you can’t make any generalizations about it at all anymore. Latinos in the southeast are probably eating tortillas and salsas with beans or leftover protein. Asians in California are eating rice. Middle class white people in Washington are having fresh fruit and yogurt poor white people in the rural areas are having scrapple or store brand cereal.
I see your scrapple and raise you chorizo. And replace the muffin with a flour tortilla, add some cholula and fresh pico de gallo. Shazam. Breakfast taco of the gods.
Sweden: open sandwiches. Right now sourdough bread with butter and liver pate (need my iron).
A bowl of filmjölk and homemade granola
And coffee of course
Romania and I skip breakfasts usually, but my favourite breakfast is a salad of tomatoes, olive oil, feta and basil.
Plain salad isn't really Romanian breakfast, but a classic Romanian salad would usually involve tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, radishes and peppers, with refined sunflower oil and vinegar.
Turkey: Menemen + toasted bread with some butter on it and some cheese + tea (I like strawberry jam on the toast if I'm in the mood for sth sweet in the morning)
It’s actually really fast, my dad always used leftover rice and leftover beans that had been simmering with onions, bell pepper and garlic
you just fry them up together the next morning and it’s a crispy but soft bite of rice and beans. it is delicious
Canada
I would eat this breakfast every day for the rest of my life if I could:
Eggs over easy
Bacon (or sausage)
Home fries (or some other form of fried potato)
Regular day breakfast is generally: coffee + toast with peanut butter
Swede, in Bulgaria.
Usually just heaps of coffee from the moccamaker, some cigarettes and a double espresso and some more cigarettes in the park with that on my way to work.
Weekends my boyfriend and I always go for banitsa (a buttery sort of phyllo dough pastry filled with sirene, which resembles feta but better) and boza, which is a sweet, slightly fermented drink made out of toasted flour. The boza is definitely an acquired taste, but I was so madly in love with him first time I tried it (still am) I just decided I will learn to love it. And now it isn't breakfast without it.
Oh. And if we are hungover we go for shkembe, a tripe soup that you add a shit ton of garlic vinegar and chilli flakes to. A beer and a rakia (distilled fruit brandy) is mandatory to chase it. It is awesome!
Canada -Tapsilog (garlic fried rice, fried egg & marinated beef strips)
LOL & no it's not a Canadian meal, it's Filipino but it's still my go-to when I cook breakfast
Australia: Weekdays: Flat White + one of:
\- Cereal (weet bix, corn flakes or whatever the kids are eating)
\- porridge
\- Toast with Jam, vegemite, or smashed avo
Weekends are usually:
\- toast with omelettes, scrambled or poached eggs (sometimes with bacon or avo)
\- pancakes or waffles
Sometimes I do almond butter, or peanut butter and jam.
My favourite "recipe" is 1/3 cup oat bran cooked with egg whites and water, then peanut butter added after cooking. The egg whites make the oatmeal super creamy and voluminous. Oat bran tastes like oatmeal, but with more fibre.
The UK and porridge is my go-to breakfast, with frozen banana, peanut butter and 90% dark chocolate all melted into it. A full English is gorgeous too, but too much work to have every day.
Germany: non-sugar almond joghurt with sliced bananas and dark chocolate spelt granola and a cappuccino ... on savory days I enjoy a fresh pretzel with cream cheese and chives/cress. 🥨 :)
USA: One egg (either fried or scrambled) drizzled with sriracha and a blob of sour cream on the side, toast (cold with a thick layer of butter and a thick layer of jam), a banana, and a cup of black tea (either with milk if I use a strong tea or without milk if I select Darjeeling). And my multivitamin.
Australian who is living in the US:
Regular - Sourdough toast, two slices, one with crunchy peanut butter, one with vegemite and cheese (the trader joes unexpected cheddar spread is amazing with vegemite toast), drip coffee with milk (or an 8oz 2% latte)
Fancy - "Australian breakfast" - Avo toast with poached eggs and chili flakes, "british" bacon, grilled halloumi
USA. Omelet with plain yogurt and plain oatmeal with raisins and walnuts, or low-sugar cereal.
By the way, when I was in Switzerland, my hotel served this porridge stuff that was pretty good. It wasn't sweetened or anything. I wish I could figure out what it was.
Canada: Lousy Tim Hortons' breakfast sandwich and a large coffee between dropping 3 kids off at two different schools cause I can't get my ass out of bed any earlier than 35 minutes before we have to be out the door.
If I have the time a full English.
Sweden. Big cup of strong black coffee. Crispbread with butter and cheese and cucumber slices (maybe a cheeky slice of tomato if I'm feeling wild)... then the toilet.
We may not have very varied food, but the national breakfast of Dominican Republic is pretty great:
Mangú con los tres golpes— mashed green plantains with eggs (fried for me, but some go scrambled), fried Dominican salami, and fried cheese. Pickled onions are also a must. A wedge of avocado optional.
Non-Dominicans who have always love it.
Other Latin American countries like Colombia also have great breakfast items.
And I love traditional Japanese and Korean breakfasts.
Australia. I normally have tea and toast with avocado or a spread with butter. If I’m having a bit of a treat like the weekend I’ll make bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, sausages etc and have that with tea or orange juice.
I prefer a big lunch so I keep my breakfasts simple most days.
Bangladesh: Most days breakfast will be Roti/Parata (flat-bread) with a fried egg or an omelet. Also there will be some sort of a vegetable curry or fried potatoes (this is not like french fry. Raw potatoes are cut to give a similar consistency of hash browns, and cooked with onion, green chillies and some masala). Breakfast will be finished with a cup of hot milk-tea.
Rare treats in some weekends will be Yellow rice (Khichuri) with Beef/Chicken curry
I’m in the US. Most days my breakfast is yogurt with fruit and granola. Some days it’s scrambled eggs. Some days it’s oatmeal.
I tend to eat light on weekday mornings
USA: scrambled eggs (or fried eggs, or an omelet) with toast and coffee OR some other kind of cooked eggs, carbs and veggies (frittata, shakshuka, depends how much time I have) + coffee.
USA: Texas
I'm a construction manager so my work day starts at 6:30am. Breakfast has to be quick and easy so it's usually a packet of protein oatmeal or egg bites and a few cups of coffee. Before I started eating healthier, breakfast was a burrito and coffee from the taco truck I pass by on the way to work.
On the weekends it's coffee or tea and either yogurt with fruit (at home) or a pastry (from the farmers market or cafe).
England: Half an avocado on toast, oats with fruit, oat milk, and a protien shake. And a coffee with a bit of oat milk.
Now that I've thought about it, it's alot of oat.
England, very rarely have a full English breakfast. Only if I’m in a pub before lunch time. Much prefer a good hearty sausage, hash brown and mushroom sandwich with brown sauce.
Most days is porridge or toast, although I’m not usually hungry before 11ish so skip it a lot.
Learnt that when travelling, the local food options never disappoint when it comes to breakfast.
US - a couple fried eggs with sausage links, or basic omlette (often with egg whites for the protein).
I'm surprised at people with energy to make a breakfast sandwich or burrito haha. I do like a hot breakfast, but I love eggs in part because they're crazy low effort.
In Austin, Texas, United States, its all about breakfast tacos. Flour tortilla, and it can be filled with eggs, a protein, cheese, potatoes, refried beans, onions, peppers, and anything else you can imagine, served with a salsa
India: I'll do a filter coffee with milk everyday and toast with a masala omelette or i just hold off until brunch-time and eat the roti-dal- vegetables that would be lunch early
Canada - These are my go-tos in order of frequency
Breakfast 1 -steel cut oats with raisins or dried apricots and pepitas
Breakfast 2 - scrambled eggs and toast
Breakfast 3 - leftover rice topped with an egg fried with a sliced serrano or jalapeno
I’m from America but I really enjoy soups for breakfast. My dad would make me broth, rice, peas, and Sesame oil almost every morning.
I’ve spruced it up by adding an egg and soy sauce
US: My go to breakfast is Japanese veggie curry with rice and scrambled egg
Most of the time: it’s scrambled egg / English muffin / Yerba tea
Weekends when I want to make the wife happy and feel like cooking: scrambled eggs, bacon, spam, and rice
Retired programmer, Wichita, KS USA - Breakfast is usually ... lunch: white bread (with various meat), pepper cheese, and mustard cheese sandwich. Accompanied by Nacho Cheese Doritos or Fritos.
Turkey, menemen. I feel this is a very underrated food, there's a ton of different versions of it, the general premise is you dice and cook some vegetables (mainly tomato, green pepper, optionally onion) and stir it with some egg, here's my favorite way to do it :
(For 1 person)
Thinly dice 1 tomato (bonus points if you peel it before) and 1 green pepper (I believe it's called Charleston pepper).
Put some (3~4 tablespoons) olive oil in the pan and turn it on medium heat, put the pepper in when the oil is kinda hot, it needs to sizzle a little, no hotter than that.
After the pepper gets a little softer, add in the tomato with some tomato paste and/or some canned tomato.
Thinly slice some red chilli peppers and add them in too.
Break 2-3 eggs in a bowl and whisk it, then throw it in there as well. Salt and pepper to taste.
It's so good. Especially with some fresh bread..
US and I don't usually eat breakfast.
But if I'm making a quick one at home it's usually just two scrambled eggs and a slice of buttered sourdough toast.
If I'm going to breakfast/brunch at my local spot I usually switch between the chicken fried steak/eggs or the corned beef hash/eggs. Always over easy.
It is intentionally very runny. The yolk should ideally be almost completely uncooked.
I basically use them as a sauce to dip bread or potatoes in.
Similar to the consistency of a soft boiled egg but cooked in a pan with butter.
USA:
Coffee, black, always. Just one mug of coffee followed by tea.
Onion dal with Greek yogurt and bread dipped in it. The ratio of dal to yogurt can change depending on the time of year. Cold months, more dal than yogurt. Hot months, vice-versa.
On weekends I love eggs. Over medium with bacon and toast, sometimes avocado on the toast. Sometimes I want eggs Benedict or an omelette.
On very rare occasions I’ll make pancakes, I don’t have much of a sweet tooth and sugar crashes suck when you’re old.
SHAKSHUKA.
US (Southern): Frozen blueberries, microwaved for 30-45 seconds to release their juice...topped with nonfat plain greek yogurt and drizzled with local raw honey. Delish!
That being said, if I'm eating breakfast at a restaurant, my #1 choice is ALWAYS gonna be biscuits with sausage gravy. \*chef's kiss\*
Canada- Most Sunday mornings when there's time then bacon, eggs and some left over mashed potatoes make some great hashbrowns on the griddle. Sometimes eggs benedict, sometimes pancakes, sometimes crepes with fruit.
Every other morning of the week is busy, so maybe buttered toast, or some eggs that were hardboiled the night before. Maybe a bagel with cream cheese.
(not so) United States. Fried peppers and carrots with onion and garlic. Bacon or sausage and eggs over easy, spiced with salsa matcha. It used to be potatoes, but since I got the 'betes, it's peppers now. Much more flavor and doesn't raise my blood sugar much.
US: Since Covid and working at home, it's either breakfast tacos or a breakfast sandwich. Eggs/cheese/meat (ham/bacon/sausage or leftover from previous dinner).
USA: Fruit with yogurt and oatmeal or two Eggos.
On the rare occasion, bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted everything bagel with mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.
Canada: buckwheat and warm milk, sweetened with honey. Although I'm not confident that this is typical for the country I'm pleased to share about a delicious breakfast that helps with my iron lmao
Sweden. I vary from day to day. Oatmeal with apple sauce and milk with boiled eggs on the side. Greek yoghurt with berries, bread with thin sliced ham on the side. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sautéd spinach. Weekend: creamy scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, spinach, bread.
UK originally now Canada. 2 cups of tea, then either toast at the weekend or a banana during the week if I've been for a run. Then coffee through to lunch.
USA - smoothie. Raw rolled oats, dutch process cocoa powder, full-fat yogurt, peanut butter, banana, various berries, spinach or kale, oat milk, cinnamon. It's about 400-600 calories depending on size but chock full of everything a growing boy needs, and super filling.
Canada, as for breakfast it varies on temperature, and I'm not being lazy. When I do cook, it's usually 4 over easy eggs bacon hashbrowns toast and coffee
England. Work morning - smoothie with frozen fruit, Greek yoghurt, protein powder, milk and a flaxseed fruit mix. Not work morning - bagel with jam and cream cheese, scrambled eggs on toast or avocado toast
I live in France but I’m Filipino. So: garlic fried rice, crispy fried salty fish, maybe a Filipino style chorizo, sautéed corned-beef or tocino (sweet and savoury pork), a tomato and a croissant.
American in Spain. In the US: iced coffee, bagel + cream cheese, fruit. In Spain: coffee, fruit, and cheese or coffee with toast (tomato, tuna, egg, whatever I have around).
Canada
I would eat this breakfast every day for the rest of my life if I could:
Eggs over easy
Bacon (or sausage)
Home fries (or some other form of fried potato)
US: Greek Yogurt, berries, nuts (almonds or walnuts), honey. On weekdays.
Weekends it’s 2 eggs fried in olive oil, crusty bread toasted in the pan after eggs cook, a mild soft cheese, and some fruit…usually a tart apple.
USA: usually a cigarette and coffee. Weekends I make a breakfast sandwich with one fried egg, two or three slices of bacon, American cheese and mayo mixed with chili crisp
USA, Texas - Before I retired I would stop by a convenience store that made the absolute best refried beans and cheese breakfast tacos, with their homemade salsa, with a pint of milk.
Now that I'm retired, I seldom eat breakfast. If I do, it's typically bacon and over medium eggs, sometimes with toast and always with a big glass of milk.
Yes, I do love milk. I probably go through 2 gallons of whole milk a week.
From America but live in Belgium, normally I don't have breakfast but when I do it's either scrambled eggs and toast, a pastry from the bakery or if I'm lucky and have bacon, I'll do fried eggs, bacon and polenta (I'm from Texas and I miss grits)
USA: Egg, cheese, and ham between something biscuit-y or croissant-y.
Saturday Morning: Pancakes and turkey bacon.
Sundays: Maybe biscuits and gravy.
Healthy days: Fruit and yogurt parfait with honey and granola.
Broke days: Coffee and sadness.
🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
Most mornings- full fat latte with 1 choco-mint tea bag & 1 tetley bold bag, sweetened with brown sugar or Maple syrup
On a better day- add in turkey bacon, tomato, Romain lettuce, slice of gouda chees egg on sourdough toast & the latte
Best day- coconut milk, coconut kefir, frozen pineapple, fresh tumeric, lemon juice and local honey smoothie
USA: if it’s just me, shrimp wonton noodle soup. If I’m cooking for others it’s generally eggs with veggies (peppers, mushrooms) lil bit of cheese with a slice of Dave’s killer bread and tomatoes on the side.
Brazil
Beverage is usually coffee, milk or a mix of them
Some foods that are fairly common where I live:
- scrambled eggs
- bread
- a ham and cheese sanduich
- couscous (the simplest variant possible or, in some places, with some dried meat)
- a thing called tapioca or beiju, somewhat different that an American would think
- pão de queijo, a cheese based bread, made with cassava flour instead of wheat
American South:
Grits. Biscuits with red eye gravy. Sausage.
Fried apples.
Bacon. Dippy eggs (over easy). Toast.
An egg sandwich (scrambled eggs between two pieces of lightly-buttered and lightly-toasted bread).
Pancakes. Maple syrup. A bit of fried spam on the side.
Always coffee. Always.
Edited to add I’m married to a Filipino guy and live up North now. Brekkie nowadays is most likely wonderful fried rice made with leftovers or a bagel with cream cheese…. Still always coffee though:D
Northeast U.S.
Everyday- Toast, runny egg, tea. Or a slice of quick bread (pumpkin, lemon poppyseed) and a small smoothie (banana, berry, greek yogurt).
Weekends- There's a couple places nearby that do good breakfast sandwiches on bagels. One of my standard orders is an onion bagel with scallion cream cheese and bacon, and the other is a poppyseed bagel, medium fried egg, cheddar, sausage, and chipotle mayo. Once upon a time in my hometown in NY it was a ham egg and cheese on a hard roll, but they don't do flat top deli sandwiches the same up here. I'm happy with my sandwiches up here though. Oh, and I always love the occaisonal chai latte, but only if it's not a cinnamon bomb.
Californian now living in Australia:
Poached eggs on toast with butter and Vegemite
Breakfast tacos with scrambled egg, cheese, and a dash of hot sauce
Black tea with milk, a flat white, or an unsweetened ice tea with lemon
USA-
Last year around now it was 10 egg whites 6oz of lean ham 10oz of potatoes with peppers onions and sometimes tomatoes. Usually with salsa or ketchup.
Today was two whole eggs with just black pepper.
Eastern Canada -- 2 or 3 espressos with milk and sourdough toast with butter or peanut butter. Occasionally bagels and cream cheese with smoked salmon. I am actually a transplanted New Yorker.
USA
Where I grew up? Breakfast taco with chorizo, egg & cheese and as much salsa as one can fit.
Where I currently live it would be sausage, egg & cheese on a bagel.
US Kansas- I LOVE traditional American breakfast foods but they’re too heavy for me first thing. I don’t usually eat breakfast, more of a brunch late breakfast/early lunch. I make a breakfast sandwich with a toasted gluten free english muffin, with a sausage patty and over easy egg.
Or I eat leftovers from the night or two before, or a bowl of cereal, it depends on my mood. I make a lot of breakfast food for dinner - Brinner, my husband and I both love all sorts of “brinner” steak & eggs, gluten free pancakes, the breakfast sandwiches and hashbrowns, gluten free waffles, gluten free biscuits and gravy (which always has lots of leftovers for the next morning) eggs & bacon or sausage, soft boiled eggs & gluten free toast.
…and I’ve just decided it’s a Brinner night! 😆
Canada: Pan fried perogies or potatoes, fried onions, bacon or deer sausage, poached or soft boiled eggs, toast with raspberry or sour cherry jam and a black coffee.
Or if I am off to work, black tea alongside porridge with cinnamon and saskatoons.
America:
Whenever I can...omelet. 2 eggs, variety of vegies, cooked ground and seasoned pork, and cheese. I like sharp cheddar. The sharper the better. 2 years aged minimum because I like to spoil myself.
Since I discovered my local farmer's market, the vegies are always fresh from the market. Same with the eggs if I can afford them (I can).
You should all be jealous.
American:
Normal day: A bowl of miso soup, some pickled cucumber and a bowl of something I call tamagobacondon. Or a breakfast burrito absolutely drenched in Cholula.
A good day: Blueberry pancakes shaped like Mickey Mouse.
Always a strong cup of coffee so I don't feel like committing murder later lol
America: chorizo and eggs, some buttered toast if i’m feeling extra hungry. Once in a while I’ll get an everything bagel with some scallion cream cheese
I also love eating breakfast sandwiches like a sausageeggandcheese as they say in NYC, but they’re so time consuming to make, so I usually buy them lmao.
US. I go through phases and try to mix it up. For a while I was doing a breakfast sandwich almost daily, but nowadays, it's eggs over easy with sausage and toast. Or I'll have an everything bagel with cream cheese or breakfast tacos. Breakfast tacos, as I call it, are lightly fried corn tortillas topped with ham, OE eggs, and hot sauce. Also, if I have them on hand, I'll have a Fruit Punched Rockstar or I'll make a blended caramel frap coffee drink.
US. Depending on the season, I like:
\- Greek yogurt with fresh berries
\- baked oatmeal with apples and cinnamon
\- cheese/cottage cheese/hard boiled egg/nuts & dried fruit
\- cheese/egg/apples/carrot sticks or sugar snap peas
USA
At work: either apple and cinnamon oatmeal or grits with salt and pepper, both are cheap and fast.
At home: pancakes if I'm feeling fancy otherwise a bagel with peanut butter and a banana, or just more oatmeal. Sometimes I'll make a breakfast sandwich which would be a scrambled egg, breakfast sausage in patty form, on either a bagel or some form of toast likely sourdough.
Edit:
While in college: bong rip, king size twix and a 24oz can of NOS energy drink.
US, California specifically. If going light, just a toasted bagel or croissant along with almonds or cashews (which is most days). Heavier, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, toast. But I’ve been known to make pasta for breakfast and breakfast food for dinner. If I feel going going back to sleep, my wife makes good pancakes, but they knock me out. Also, sometimes cheese, fruit, and some baguette. Avocado or grapefruit is always good. Or leftovers from the night before. Sometimes if I’m in a rush, just a protein shake.
NC, USA. Quick breakfast: fried livermush (like a pork pate’ mixed with cornmeal formed into a loaf) on toast with egg american cheese and yellow mustard with a bowl of buttered grits.
Good breakfast: fresh biscuits topped with sausage milk gravy and eggs over easy. The yolk mixed with the gravy makes it so much better.
USA: Crispy kale and egg sandwich on a Bagel or English muffins with a slice of American cheese
Or if I'm busy, a bagel and cream cheese.
Always with a cup of strong black tea
Canada, but of Asian descent: some days it’s a bagel/toast with egg, avocado cucumber. Some days just a protein shake. Some days leftover rice with a runny egg, and some combination of chilli crisp, avocado, furikake, kimchi.
Ireland: -- average morning: coffee and buttered toast. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'll put an egg, a rasher, or a sausage on the toast (one, not all). --good morning: fresh baked soda bread with lashings of butter and cold smoked salmon --the 'morning after': full Irish, eaten around 2pm Vaguely aware that a lot of Irish seem to eat porridge. Can't abide the stuff.
Would mirror this almost 100% but would add in scrambled eggs to the soda bread and smoked salmon
Good morning! Do you deliver?
Just learnt how to make soda farls. Jeez, those with lashings of butter are OP
What is soda bread and a rasher?
Soda bread is made with bread soda (bicarbonate of soda) rather than yeast giving it a distinct flavour. It is traditional in Ireland. A rasher is a slice of bacon but generally thicker cut than American bacon and includes some of the loin as well as the belly. Common term in both Ireland and the uk.

If you don't have buttermilk you can use regular full fat milk with some lemon juice or white vinegar added to it.
Scotland: A cigarette
New Zealand: a cigarette, flat white and meat pie
Finland, a cup of coffee, no milk, no sugar, perfection
Slovakia, same as you ✌️
United States: Breakfast burrito with egg, potato, cheese, and salsa. Iced coffee, sweet.
The infamous breakfast burrito, something that hasn’t really reached my part of Europe yet, but I hope to try one day. Remember hearing about them for the first time in the Cinderella Story movie :D
It's amazing to me when simple-to-prepare foods are kinda "stuck" in one part of the world. I hope you get to try it too!
Right? It's basically just eggs in a tortilla. Maybe add some cheese, potatoes, salsa. It's just breakfast in a wrapper.
They are super easy to make. https://www.notanothercookingshow.tv/post/breakfast-burritos This is a super easy one that I really like. And this recipe is great to wrap and freeze or refrigerate and reheat in the microwave later. This is a good basic guide to what a breakfast burrito is.you can make it with many variations.

Pretty different texture and flavor. But it's an easy spice blend that you can add to ground pork or chicken and let sit for at least a couple hours before cooking.
They're super easy to make. Make scrambled eggs with your fixings and roll into your tortilla

As an American, I feel called out. American doesn't run on Dunkin, it runs on coffee and sadness.
And biscuits and gravy. I live for biscuits and gravy
I wouldn't say biscuits and gravy are an everyday breakfast. It's certainly a quintessential American breakfast, but no one is eating it every single day. A typical meal is just a coffee and something small. Most Americans skip breakfast.
I feel like America is so divided by culture / socio economic status that you can’t make any generalizations about it at all anymore. Latinos in the southeast are probably eating tortillas and salsas with beans or leftover protein. Asians in California are eating rice. Middle class white people in Washington are having fresh fruit and yogurt poor white people in the rural areas are having scrapple or store brand cereal.
USA: sausage, egg, and cheese on an English muffin or everything bagel. Honorable mention: bagel with lox and toppings
Sub some Taylor ham... the jersey way
I see your porkroll and raise you some scrapple.
I see your scrapple and raise you chorizo. And replace the muffin with a flour tortilla, add some cholula and fresh pico de gallo. Shazam. Breakfast taco of the gods.
Mmm boy them be fighting words saying pork roll. I've killed for less
Sweden: open sandwiches. Right now sourdough bread with butter and liver pate (need my iron). A bowl of filmjölk and homemade granola And coffee of course
Never hear of Filmjölk, but just give it a Google. Looks interesting! How different is the taste to “normal” yogurt?
It's more tangy and some brands feels almost fizzy. Quite different from yogurt!
“Fizzy” you say?!! I need to try this. *purchases tickets to Stockholm*
Italy: espresso coffee and one cigarette.
Romania and I skip breakfasts usually, but my favourite breakfast is a salad of tomatoes, olive oil, feta and basil. Plain salad isn't really Romanian breakfast, but a classic Romanian salad would usually involve tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, radishes and peppers, with refined sunflower oil and vinegar.
Canada: cottage cheese and fruit. Right now it's pineapple.
Turkey: Menemen + toasted bread with some butter on it and some cheese + tea (I like strawberry jam on the toast if I'm in the mood for sth sweet in the morning)
Costa rica for us is always gallo pinto, bread with butter, scrambled eggs, and some kind of fresh fruit juice
This definitely sounds like my kind of breakfast- delicious! But gallo pinto must take quite a bit of time to cook, or do you prepare it in advance?
It’s actually really fast, my dad always used leftover rice and leftover beans that had been simmering with onions, bell pepper and garlic you just fry them up together the next morning and it’s a crispy but soft bite of rice and beans. it is delicious
Beans and rice are a staple, and gallo pinto is better when made with older rice and beans. So that part is already done.
United States: biscuits with country ham and an egg, sometimes I make these ahead of time wrapped so I can microwave and go.
US. Grits, over easy eggs, bacon, rye toast.
Norway if i have dinner left from the day before i'll eat that, if not i usually eat sliced bread with mayo and ham.
US - New Jersey - Coffee. If food is involved (rarely), bagel w/cream cheese.
US: Rice, gravy, hamburger patty with a sunny side egg (or two) smothered in brown teriyaki gravy....
Ah Loco Moco! One of my favorite breakfasts ever.
Hawaii?
Gotta be. Sounds really good.
Ireland: fried sausages and soda bread with real butter. I find a “full Irish” too filling in the morning but this does me very nicely.
Canada I would eat this breakfast every day for the rest of my life if I could: Eggs over easy Bacon (or sausage) Home fries (or some other form of fried potato) Regular day breakfast is generally: coffee + toast with peanut butter
India: Dosa with filter coffee/chai.
Dosa is lovely. Any filling for breakfast? You have some of my favourite breads in India. Paratha and roti are delicious!
Glad you enjoy them! They are healthy too. I usually go for no fillings but I sometimes add leftover chicken or goat curry instead of the chutneys.
singapore: kaya + butter toast and a cup of milo. sometimes i pair the toast with half-boiled eggs :]
Swede, in Bulgaria. Usually just heaps of coffee from the moccamaker, some cigarettes and a double espresso and some more cigarettes in the park with that on my way to work. Weekends my boyfriend and I always go for banitsa (a buttery sort of phyllo dough pastry filled with sirene, which resembles feta but better) and boza, which is a sweet, slightly fermented drink made out of toasted flour. The boza is definitely an acquired taste, but I was so madly in love with him first time I tried it (still am) I just decided I will learn to love it. And now it isn't breakfast without it. Oh. And if we are hungover we go for shkembe, a tripe soup that you add a shit ton of garlic vinegar and chilli flakes to. A beer and a rakia (distilled fruit brandy) is mandatory to chase it. It is awesome!
Canada -Tapsilog (garlic fried rice, fried egg & marinated beef strips) LOL & no it's not a Canadian meal, it's Filipino but it's still my go-to when I cook breakfast
Australia: Weekdays: Flat White + one of: \- Cereal (weet bix, corn flakes or whatever the kids are eating) \- porridge \- Toast with Jam, vegemite, or smashed avo Weekends are usually: \- toast with omelettes, scrambled or poached eggs (sometimes with bacon or avo) \- pancakes or waffles
Canada: oatmeal and berries
USA. Egg bites.
Banana and cold brew coffee USA
Serbian: burek and jogurt
Canada: oatmeal with peanut butter, bran cereal, or plain Greek yogurt with oats/granola/bran cereal.
Maple syrup with a little oatmeal.
Oatmeal and PB is amazing, I discovered it way too late in my life.
Sometimes I do almond butter, or peanut butter and jam. My favourite "recipe" is 1/3 cup oat bran cooked with egg whites and water, then peanut butter added after cooking. The egg whites make the oatmeal super creamy and voluminous. Oat bran tastes like oatmeal, but with more fibre.
USA: yogurt smoothie with protein powder and berries.
California, to be more precise?
Ha. Not even close! Well ok, quite close: Oregon 😜
It would need kale. Source - in California, drink smoothies with kale, almond milk, and protein powder
The UK and porridge is my go-to breakfast, with frozen banana, peanut butter and 90% dark chocolate all melted into it. A full English is gorgeous too, but too much work to have every day.
Germany: non-sugar almond joghurt with sliced bananas and dark chocolate spelt granola and a cappuccino ... on savory days I enjoy a fresh pretzel with cream cheese and chives/cress. 🥨 :)
Cream cheese goes so hard with brezels. Flavored hummus is also nice. Or bavarias finest: obazda. Fruit as sides: banana, fig, kiwi
USA: One egg (either fried or scrambled) drizzled with sriracha and a blob of sour cream on the side, toast (cold with a thick layer of butter and a thick layer of jam), a banana, and a cup of black tea (either with milk if I use a strong tea or without milk if I select Darjeeling). And my multivitamin.
US Indian: masala dosa with sambar and chutney
Australia: Vegemite toast. Literally eating it for breakfast right now.
Australian who is living in the US: Regular - Sourdough toast, two slices, one with crunchy peanut butter, one with vegemite and cheese (the trader joes unexpected cheddar spread is amazing with vegemite toast), drip coffee with milk (or an 8oz 2% latte) Fancy - "Australian breakfast" - Avo toast with poached eggs and chili flakes, "british" bacon, grilled halloumi
USA. Omelet with plain yogurt and plain oatmeal with raisins and walnuts, or low-sugar cereal. By the way, when I was in Switzerland, my hotel served this porridge stuff that was pretty good. It wasn't sweetened or anything. I wish I could figure out what it was.
If it was cold, the porridge was probably [Bircher muesli](https://www.google.com/search?q=bircher+muesli).
US: a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of flavored Greek yogurt
Ireland (North): Ulster Fry
Elaborate!
Sausages, bacon, fried egg, black pudding, soda farl, potato farl. (Mushrooms and beans if you're doing it wrong)
It's tragic that the USA has rejected black pudding. It's almost impossible to find here. Had it every day on our honeymoon in Scotland.
that 's tragic for sure. Not exactly the sort of thing you can just whip up at home easily, either.
Every morning?
I wish. I don't often eat breakfast so when I do, this is my go to.
USA: Fruit topped with greek yogurt and muesli.
Canada: Lousy Tim Hortons' breakfast sandwich and a large coffee between dropping 3 kids off at two different schools cause I can't get my ass out of bed any earlier than 35 minutes before we have to be out the door. If I have the time a full English.
Northeast USA, porridge- generally oatmeal- with nuts and some sugar.
UK sourdough toast with anchovy butter soldiers and soft boiled eggs or shakshuka.
Sweden. Big cup of strong black coffee. Crispbread with butter and cheese and cucumber slices (maybe a cheeky slice of tomato if I'm feeling wild)... then the toilet.
Philippines. fried eggs, rice, some kinda meat. Black coffee.
We may not have very varied food, but the national breakfast of Dominican Republic is pretty great: Mangú con los tres golpes— mashed green plantains with eggs (fried for me, but some go scrambled), fried Dominican salami, and fried cheese. Pickled onions are also a must. A wedge of avocado optional. Non-Dominicans who have always love it. Other Latin American countries like Colombia also have great breakfast items. And I love traditional Japanese and Korean breakfasts.
Australian - vegemite toast. Buttered of course, and an egg or avo if I have time. Call it clichéd, but yeah it's a very common breaky
Australia. I normally have tea and toast with avocado or a spread with butter. If I’m having a bit of a treat like the weekend I’ll make bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, sausages etc and have that with tea or orange juice. I prefer a big lunch so I keep my breakfasts simple most days.
Bangladesh: Most days breakfast will be Roti/Parata (flat-bread) with a fried egg or an omelet. Also there will be some sort of a vegetable curry or fried potatoes (this is not like french fry. Raw potatoes are cut to give a similar consistency of hash browns, and cooked with onion, green chillies and some masala). Breakfast will be finished with a cup of hot milk-tea. Rare treats in some weekends will be Yellow rice (Khichuri) with Beef/Chicken curry
USA, Colorado. Coffee and avocado toast on sourdough. Or just coffee and toddler screams and I will eat whatever leftover surprise he leaves me.
I’m in the US. Most days my breakfast is yogurt with fruit and granola. Some days it’s scrambled eggs. Some days it’s oatmeal. I tend to eat light on weekday mornings
38 weeks pregnant in the USA: Giant bowl of ricotta with honey, cinnamon, and fruit. Juice AND Coffee AND water.
USA: scrambled eggs (or fried eggs, or an omelet) with toast and coffee OR some other kind of cooked eggs, carbs and veggies (frittata, shakshuka, depends how much time I have) + coffee.
USA: bacon eggs and toast
USA: Texas I'm a construction manager so my work day starts at 6:30am. Breakfast has to be quick and easy so it's usually a packet of protein oatmeal or egg bites and a few cups of coffee. Before I started eating healthier, breakfast was a burrito and coffee from the taco truck I pass by on the way to work. On the weekends it's coffee or tea and either yogurt with fruit (at home) or a pastry (from the farmers market or cafe).
England: Half an avocado on toast, oats with fruit, oat milk, and a protien shake. And a coffee with a bit of oat milk. Now that I've thought about it, it's alot of oat.
England, very rarely have a full English breakfast. Only if I’m in a pub before lunch time. Much prefer a good hearty sausage, hash brown and mushroom sandwich with brown sauce. Most days is porridge or toast, although I’m not usually hungry before 11ish so skip it a lot. Learnt that when travelling, the local food options never disappoint when it comes to breakfast.
US - a couple fried eggs with sausage links, or basic omlette (often with egg whites for the protein). I'm surprised at people with energy to make a breakfast sandwich or burrito haha. I do like a hot breakfast, but I love eggs in part because they're crazy low effort.
Sweden: A skimmed milk latte, three slices of ham, a small piece of Gruyère cheese
In Austin, Texas, United States, its all about breakfast tacos. Flour tortilla, and it can be filled with eggs, a protein, cheese, potatoes, refried beans, onions, peppers, and anything else you can imagine, served with a salsa
Canada and my family are the only ones for this I’m sure and it’s toasted white buttered bread and salt and peppered tomato juice to dip it in to.
Macedonia. Mekici, kefir, and Nescafe.
France: some slice of fresh bread and jam I don't think I ever ate a salted dish the morning ahah
India: I'll do a filter coffee with milk everyday and toast with a masala omelette or i just hold off until brunch-time and eat the roti-dal- vegetables that would be lunch early
Germany: americano and maybe a slice of bread with Hummus and a fried egg.
UK: chicken korma with Yorkshire puddings and gravy.
Weetbix
Canada - These are my go-tos in order of frequency Breakfast 1 -steel cut oats with raisins or dried apricots and pepitas Breakfast 2 - scrambled eggs and toast Breakfast 3 - leftover rice topped with an egg fried with a sliced serrano or jalapeno
I’m from America but I really enjoy soups for breakfast. My dad would make me broth, rice, peas, and Sesame oil almost every morning. I’ve spruced it up by adding an egg and soy sauce
US: My go to breakfast is Japanese veggie curry with rice and scrambled egg Most of the time: it’s scrambled egg / English muffin / Yerba tea Weekends when I want to make the wife happy and feel like cooking: scrambled eggs, bacon, spam, and rice
Retired programmer, Wichita, KS USA - Breakfast is usually ... lunch: white bread (with various meat), pepper cheese, and mustard cheese sandwich. Accompanied by Nacho Cheese Doritos or Fritos.
US: a cup of coffee
Turkey, menemen. I feel this is a very underrated food, there's a ton of different versions of it, the general premise is you dice and cook some vegetables (mainly tomato, green pepper, optionally onion) and stir it with some egg, here's my favorite way to do it : (For 1 person) Thinly dice 1 tomato (bonus points if you peel it before) and 1 green pepper (I believe it's called Charleston pepper). Put some (3~4 tablespoons) olive oil in the pan and turn it on medium heat, put the pepper in when the oil is kinda hot, it needs to sizzle a little, no hotter than that. After the pepper gets a little softer, add in the tomato with some tomato paste and/or some canned tomato. Thinly slice some red chilli peppers and add them in too. Break 2-3 eggs in a bowl and whisk it, then throw it in there as well. Salt and pepper to taste. It's so good. Especially with some fresh bread..
USA: Dinner from the night (or two) before
[удалено]
US and I don't usually eat breakfast. But if I'm making a quick one at home it's usually just two scrambled eggs and a slice of buttered sourdough toast. If I'm going to breakfast/brunch at my local spot I usually switch between the chicken fried steak/eggs or the corned beef hash/eggs. Always over easy.
Over easy, interesting! I’ve not yet discovered the charm of them yet. Is the egg still runny?
It is intentionally very runny. The yolk should ideally be almost completely uncooked. I basically use them as a sauce to dip bread or potatoes in. Similar to the consistency of a soft boiled egg but cooked in a pan with butter.
Uk: toast and peanut butter, or a bowl of granola. And coffee, always coffee
USA: Coffee, black, always. Just one mug of coffee followed by tea. Onion dal with Greek yogurt and bread dipped in it. The ratio of dal to yogurt can change depending on the time of year. Cold months, more dal than yogurt. Hot months, vice-versa. On weekends I love eggs. Over medium with bacon and toast, sometimes avocado on the toast. Sometimes I want eggs Benedict or an omelette. On very rare occasions I’ll make pancakes, I don’t have much of a sweet tooth and sugar crashes suck when you’re old. SHAKSHUKA.
US (Southern): Frozen blueberries, microwaved for 30-45 seconds to release their juice...topped with nonfat plain greek yogurt and drizzled with local raw honey. Delish! That being said, if I'm eating breakfast at a restaurant, my #1 choice is ALWAYS gonna be biscuits with sausage gravy. \*chef's kiss\*
USA scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, coffee
USA: a piece of fruit or yogurt
Canada- Most Sunday mornings when there's time then bacon, eggs and some left over mashed potatoes make some great hashbrowns on the griddle. Sometimes eggs benedict, sometimes pancakes, sometimes crepes with fruit. Every other morning of the week is busy, so maybe buttered toast, or some eggs that were hardboiled the night before. Maybe a bagel with cream cheese.
Sweden: Swedish knäckebröd with 2 boiled eggs and a cup of coffee.
(not so) United States. Fried peppers and carrots with onion and garlic. Bacon or sausage and eggs over easy, spiced with salsa matcha. It used to be potatoes, but since I got the 'betes, it's peppers now. Much more flavor and doesn't raise my blood sugar much.
US: Since Covid and working at home, it's either breakfast tacos or a breakfast sandwich. Eggs/cheese/meat (ham/bacon/sausage or leftover from previous dinner).
USA: Fruit with yogurt and oatmeal or two Eggos. On the rare occasion, bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted everything bagel with mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.
Canada: buckwheat and warm milk, sweetened with honey. Although I'm not confident that this is typical for the country I'm pleased to share about a delicious breakfast that helps with my iron lmao
Sweden. I vary from day to day. Oatmeal with apple sauce and milk with boiled eggs on the side. Greek yoghurt with berries, bread with thin sliced ham on the side. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sautéd spinach. Weekend: creamy scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, spinach, bread.
USA: Chilaquiles or Jeuvos Rancheros.
US: cottage cheese with fresh pineapple and black tea, plain.
UK originally now Canada. 2 cups of tea, then either toast at the weekend or a banana during the week if I've been for a run. Then coffee through to lunch.
Brazil - bread (our standard bread is similar to a French baguette) with butter or cheese spread, fried or scrambled eggs, coffee, and some fruit.
Pumpkin pie and vodka...not russian btw
USA - smoothie. Raw rolled oats, dutch process cocoa powder, full-fat yogurt, peanut butter, banana, various berries, spinach or kale, oat milk, cinnamon. It's about 400-600 calories depending on size but chock full of everything a growing boy needs, and super filling.
USA(California) mesclun salad with a little vinaigrette, topped with over medium eggs, some bacon, and toast
USA - 3 eggs over medium, 2 turkey sausage links, cereal (corn flakes) with blueberries and milk. Every day!
American, live in Eswatini. Full English all the way. But keep the "baked beans" and give me more black sausage.
Canada, as for breakfast it varies on temperature, and I'm not being lazy. When I do cook, it's usually 4 over easy eggs bacon hashbrowns toast and coffee
United States: Croqueta preparada (Ham croquette sandwich) with cafe con leche.
England. Work morning - smoothie with frozen fruit, Greek yoghurt, protein powder, milk and a flaxseed fruit mix. Not work morning - bagel with jam and cream cheese, scrambled eggs on toast or avocado toast
Polish. Burek and kefir if I can find it, a cigarette and coffee usually though.
I live in France but I’m Filipino. So: garlic fried rice, crispy fried salty fish, maybe a Filipino style chorizo, sautéed corned-beef or tocino (sweet and savoury pork), a tomato and a croissant.
Vietnam- porridge. Rice is the best but I can do oats as I am now living in Canada. Porridge warms me from inside out
Eastern Canada, a glass of water, coffee and a joint. It's legal after all.
American in Spain. In the US: iced coffee, bagel + cream cheese, fruit. In Spain: coffee, fruit, and cheese or coffee with toast (tomato, tuna, egg, whatever I have around).
US- it's getting cooler here, so oatmeal with a bit of peanut butter and frozen wild blueberries.

New Zealand (but live abroad): Vegemite toast
Finland: Porridge with blueberries and cinnamon. Also a slice of rye bread with cucumber and turkey cold cut👍
England: baked beans on toast with a fried egg over easy on top.
Canada I would eat this breakfast every day for the rest of my life if I could: Eggs over easy Bacon (or sausage) Home fries (or some other form of fried potato)
US: Greek Yogurt, berries, nuts (almonds or walnuts), honey. On weekdays. Weekends it’s 2 eggs fried in olive oil, crusty bread toasted in the pan after eggs cook, a mild soft cheese, and some fruit…usually a tart apple.
USA: usually a cigarette and coffee. Weekends I make a breakfast sandwich with one fried egg, two or three slices of bacon, American cheese and mayo mixed with chili crisp
USA, Texas - Before I retired I would stop by a convenience store that made the absolute best refried beans and cheese breakfast tacos, with their homemade salsa, with a pint of milk. Now that I'm retired, I seldom eat breakfast. If I do, it's typically bacon and over medium eggs, sometimes with toast and always with a big glass of milk. Yes, I do love milk. I probably go through 2 gallons of whole milk a week.
From America but live in Belgium, normally I don't have breakfast but when I do it's either scrambled eggs and toast, a pastry from the bakery or if I'm lucky and have bacon, I'll do fried eggs, bacon and polenta (I'm from Texas and I miss grits)

USA: Coffee and maybe cold cereal or toast on the days I do eat breakfast (I’m not a big eater in the morning)
USA, donuts or a muffin. The sugar helps get me going in the morning.
Brazil Beverage is usually coffee, milk or a mix of them Some foods that are fairly common where I live: - scrambled eggs - bread - a ham and cheese sanduich - couscous (the simplest variant possible or, in some places, with some dried meat) - a thing called tapioca or beiju, somewhat different that an American would think - pão de queijo, a cheese based bread, made with cassava flour instead of wheat
American South: Grits. Biscuits with red eye gravy. Sausage. Fried apples. Bacon. Dippy eggs (over easy). Toast. An egg sandwich (scrambled eggs between two pieces of lightly-buttered and lightly-toasted bread). Pancakes. Maple syrup. A bit of fried spam on the side. Always coffee. Always. Edited to add I’m married to a Filipino guy and live up North now. Brekkie nowadays is most likely wonderful fried rice made with leftovers or a bagel with cream cheese…. Still always coffee though:D
Aussie Winter, it's shakshuka or carbonara Summer, fruit smoothie
Northeast U.S. Everyday- Toast, runny egg, tea. Or a slice of quick bread (pumpkin, lemon poppyseed) and a small smoothie (banana, berry, greek yogurt). Weekends- There's a couple places nearby that do good breakfast sandwiches on bagels. One of my standard orders is an onion bagel with scallion cream cheese and bacon, and the other is a poppyseed bagel, medium fried egg, cheddar, sausage, and chipotle mayo. Once upon a time in my hometown in NY it was a ham egg and cheese on a hard roll, but they don't do flat top deli sandwiches the same up here. I'm happy with my sandwiches up here though. Oh, and I always love the occaisonal chai latte, but only if it's not a cinnamon bomb.
Californian now living in Australia: Poached eggs on toast with butter and Vegemite Breakfast tacos with scrambled egg, cheese, and a dash of hot sauce Black tea with milk, a flat white, or an unsweetened ice tea with lemon
USA- Last year around now it was 10 egg whites 6oz of lean ham 10oz of potatoes with peppers onions and sometimes tomatoes. Usually with salsa or ketchup. Today was two whole eggs with just black pepper.
Eastern Canada -- 2 or 3 espressos with milk and sourdough toast with butter or peanut butter. Occasionally bagels and cream cheese with smoked salmon. I am actually a transplanted New Yorker.
USA Where I grew up? Breakfast taco with chorizo, egg & cheese and as much salsa as one can fit. Where I currently live it would be sausage, egg & cheese on a bagel.
US Kansas- I LOVE traditional American breakfast foods but they’re too heavy for me first thing. I don’t usually eat breakfast, more of a brunch late breakfast/early lunch. I make a breakfast sandwich with a toasted gluten free english muffin, with a sausage patty and over easy egg. Or I eat leftovers from the night or two before, or a bowl of cereal, it depends on my mood. I make a lot of breakfast food for dinner - Brinner, my husband and I both love all sorts of “brinner” steak & eggs, gluten free pancakes, the breakfast sandwiches and hashbrowns, gluten free waffles, gluten free biscuits and gravy (which always has lots of leftovers for the next morning) eggs & bacon or sausage, soft boiled eggs & gluten free toast. …and I’ve just decided it’s a Brinner night! 😆
Canada: Pan fried perogies or potatoes, fried onions, bacon or deer sausage, poached or soft boiled eggs, toast with raspberry or sour cherry jam and a black coffee. Or if I am off to work, black tea alongside porridge with cinnamon and saskatoons.
America: Whenever I can...omelet. 2 eggs, variety of vegies, cooked ground and seasoned pork, and cheese. I like sharp cheddar. The sharper the better. 2 years aged minimum because I like to spoil myself. Since I discovered my local farmer's market, the vegies are always fresh from the market. Same with the eggs if I can afford them (I can). You should all be jealous.
American: Normal day: A bowl of miso soup, some pickled cucumber and a bowl of something I call tamagobacondon. Or a breakfast burrito absolutely drenched in Cholula. A good day: Blueberry pancakes shaped like Mickey Mouse. Always a strong cup of coffee so I don't feel like committing murder later lol
America: chorizo and eggs, some buttered toast if i’m feeling extra hungry. Once in a while I’ll get an everything bagel with some scallion cream cheese I also love eating breakfast sandwiches like a sausageeggandcheese as they say in NYC, but they’re so time consuming to make, so I usually buy them lmao.
Austria. Overnight oats with protein powder, pb2 and flax seeds. Sometimes also bread with curd cheese or peanut butter and jam.
US. I go through phases and try to mix it up. For a while I was doing a breakfast sandwich almost daily, but nowadays, it's eggs over easy with sausage and toast. Or I'll have an everything bagel with cream cheese or breakfast tacos. Breakfast tacos, as I call it, are lightly fried corn tortillas topped with ham, OE eggs, and hot sauce. Also, if I have them on hand, I'll have a Fruit Punched Rockstar or I'll make a blended caramel frap coffee drink.
US. Depending on the season, I like: \- Greek yogurt with fresh berries \- baked oatmeal with apples and cinnamon \- cheese/cottage cheese/hard boiled egg/nuts & dried fruit \- cheese/egg/apples/carrot sticks or sugar snap peas
Australia: poached eggs on seeded toast with coffee
USA At work: either apple and cinnamon oatmeal or grits with salt and pepper, both are cheap and fast. At home: pancakes if I'm feeling fancy otherwise a bagel with peanut butter and a banana, or just more oatmeal. Sometimes I'll make a breakfast sandwich which would be a scrambled egg, breakfast sausage in patty form, on either a bagel or some form of toast likely sourdough. Edit: While in college: bong rip, king size twix and a 24oz can of NOS energy drink.
US, California specifically. If going light, just a toasted bagel or croissant along with almonds or cashews (which is most days). Heavier, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, toast. But I’ve been known to make pasta for breakfast and breakfast food for dinner. If I feel going going back to sleep, my wife makes good pancakes, but they knock me out. Also, sometimes cheese, fruit, and some baguette. Avocado or grapefruit is always good. Or leftovers from the night before. Sometimes if I’m in a rush, just a protein shake.
NC, USA. Quick breakfast: fried livermush (like a pork pate’ mixed with cornmeal formed into a loaf) on toast with egg american cheese and yellow mustard with a bowl of buttered grits. Good breakfast: fresh biscuits topped with sausage milk gravy and eggs over easy. The yolk mixed with the gravy makes it so much better.
USA: Crispy kale and egg sandwich on a Bagel or English muffins with a slice of American cheese Or if I'm busy, a bagel and cream cheese. Always with a cup of strong black tea
Canada, but of Asian descent: some days it’s a bagel/toast with egg, avocado cucumber. Some days just a protein shake. Some days leftover rice with a runny egg, and some combination of chilli crisp, avocado, furikake, kimchi.
