Breakfast?

I saw the post " good morning" and it got me wondering that at different parts of the world, we eat different kinds of breakfast..so what kind does your countrymen eat?

In singapore, we have a whole variety of breakfast. From porridge to bread to prata..anything u want... but I guess coffee is a must here.. I kinda realise we do not have the luxury to sit down and enjoy our breakfast. We usually rush through it and then rush to work..i hardly get breakfast now..

i enjoy starbucks and bagels for breakfast, while hubby wants bacon, eggs, fried potatoes and gravy for a hearty breakfast and fruit and cereal for a light day. He loves my country sausage and homemade biscuits the best- I can see clogged arteries now-

My breakfast is coffee.. lol.

how i miss starbucks coffee and bagels...esp when it freshly toasted and with butter and cream cheese..hmmmmmm....

My favorite breakfast food is waffles. Not the eggo kind, the real kind. But usually I just eat a bagel and cream cheese. When I go home and visit my family my mom usually makes migas for breakfast, or she'll make me a taco with potato and egg taco. Every Sunday my family will have barbacoa for breakfast.

What is barbacoa?

It's really gross.. I don't eat it but my family loves it. It's goat head that's been smoked overnight in a burlap sack.

Seriously? Of course you are serious, I just have never heard of it. Oh well, my ex-husband used to eat cow tongue sandwiches for breakfast- to each his own I guess....I couldn't handle eating those either so I doubt I would be a fan of barbacoa-- I would just be feeling bad for the poor goat.

The tounge is also included in the barbacoa. Yeah it's gross, but a lot of people like it because it's very tender meat.

We have every type of breakfast imaginable. I normally don't eat breakfast but when i'm hungry I'll eat vegemite toast or coco-pop cereal, on a sunday sometime a big hot fry up is yummy ohhh bagels *drooling*

Cool thread!

now we know that there are people who eat cow tongue sandwich for breakfast.... in singapore, ppl do have pig's internal organs for breakfast... i've always wondered how do they swallow that...

and I hung out in piano bars alot. A smart-alec guy swore that vodka and Rice Krispies was delicious. Naw, we said - so he brought in a box and a bowl and sat there at the bar and ate some. We all tried it - yuck LOL. Here in So. California BIG breakfasts are served in the restaurants. My Mom and I frequent Denny's where the $2.99 Grand Slam Breakfast: 2 large fluffy pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 sausage and 2 bacon is just the BEST around. I love cinnemon-raisin Enlish muffins toasted with butter, yummmm.

Mmm Choc Milk on cereal! m m good!

I too am drooling reading about everyone eating proper bagels for brekky.

Here in Oz we donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t have ‘realâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji] bagels (hence the thumbs down icon). They sell stuff called bagels but really it is just a bread-roll shaped bagel – NOT FAIR, I love true boiled bagels – YUMMO!!

As for my brekky – I drink it, itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s a choc flavoured protein drink thing that is supposedly high in fibre, high in iron, low in fat – for those of you who know what a weetbix is, it is the liquid equivalent of two weetbixâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s and milk… it comes in a tetra pack like the juice your mum used to pack when you were at school.

guess what??? I went down to Starbucks just now, hoping to get a plain bagel to overcome that craving.... they ran out of plain bagels so sad...not destined to have a plain bagel...

Is food in Singapore closer to Indian or Chinese food, or its own distinct cuisine? (I LOVE Indian food, and could eat it every day for every meal. I'm not too bad of an Indian cook for an American of Croatian descent .

I have to say that for breakfast, my favorite food is always eggs.
The preparation style doesnt really matter, although I've been on a poached-egg kick for awhile. Second to that is hot cooked cereal, usually oat bran. And coffee of course!

I think most people here who don't skip breakfast have cereal with milk or toast with some spread (low fat cream cheese or humous spread most likely).

A classic Israeli breakfast is modelled after what they serve for breakfast in the Kibbutz - a big salad, eggs, cottage or another low fat cheese and fresh bread. Hotels now serve an upgraded version of that breakfast as an Israeli breakfast. They do a buffet which includes several types of salads and lots of kinds of cheese and breads. They often throw in bagels, pancakes and what not as well

Israel being a hot country, our menu has lots of vegetables and salads throughout the day. A meal is not considered a proper meal unless there's a large bawl of salad with it I can personally testify that if you add lots of chocolate in between meals you can stil gain a lot of weight

Oh another favorite breakfast is the Yemenite breakfast that some people have on Saturday morning. It's a special pastry called "Jahnoon". It looks like a thick sausage roll and is very simple - just dough with lots of butter, some sugar and salt (it's neither salty not sweet - something in between). The special thing about it is that it's cooked in low temp through out the night. It's served with freshly ground tomatoes and eggs that were cooked overnight in the same pan. It's really fattening and delicious!

Lucia: Prata is a kind of indian food, made from flour. They can add eggs, onions or sometimes different kinds of meat in it. They eat it with curries, dipping into it..for those who can't take spicy food, they dip into sugar...
