Just a good cup of black coffee.

I like cold cereal because it takes about 10 seconds to prepare.

My favorite filipino breakfast,Longsilog. The garlic fried rice is key.

This is good stuff.
Mix/break the garlic rice, put egg on top, crack and watch the yolk ooze all over the rice and eat it with the longganisa....mmmm, so good!

Another version of that is Tapsilog:

Weekdays just coffee or a latte, sometimes with a banana and peanut butter. Maybe some variety of muffin. Pretty boring. Occasionally one of us will go get some fresh baked croissants, chocolatines or amandes. Montreal (where I live now) inherited that part of French cuisine. Easy to find all over. Weekends are more fun, especially if we eat out. I'll go all out. Eggs Benedict, add melted cheddar, sausage on the side, hash browns.

I'd really like to have huevos rancheros near me. Also that last Asian breakfast posted looks amazing.

Edit: Also totally interested in trying an Ulster Fry as I research it.

Please

America has some damn good breakfast culture if I do say so myself.

I mean I know the article is probably talking about what the average kid in their respective countries eat each day but still. My normal breakfast consists of at least some of these things I posted.

Seriously, American breakfast foods are rad. We're definitely not "lacking imagination" as the article suggests. You just don't have the time to indulge in a fully cooked meal on the typical weekday, which is probably more or less true for other first world nations as well. For example,I have it on good authority that the typical Japanese breakfast is just a slice of toast.

 

[Maengun1]

I'm one of those terrible people who rarely eat breakfast at all. I usually drag my butt out of bed about 10 minutes before I need to be somewhere. Maybe grab a pop-tart on a good day.

Just a typical American breakfast.

Must be the breakfast of a coastal liberal elite. There ain't enough steak for true red blood 'Muricians. Pomegranate seed, what the hell is a fruit doing there? That needs to be a Krispy Creme and a diet Coke.

Australia: Vegemite on toast, a flat white and a beer.

 

[SkyOdin]

I never understood ''breakfast'' foods. It's just food. I find cereal really boring for breakfast.

Sometimes I have soup for breakfast. Other times, I have a chicken and rice with an egg. Food is food.

What defines typical breakfast foods is usually preparation times. Foods such as pancakes, fried eggs, or hashbrowns can be cooked from their base ingredients in a matter of minutes. In contrast, typical dinner meals are foods that take hours to prepare from scratch. A good soup, if made fresh, takes hours to cook. Remember, most of these meals evolved in times preceding freezers and refrigerators. Reheating last night's soup you threw in the fridge is a thoroughly modern concept of a breakfast. Pancakes are one of the earliest foods ever created.

Anyways, my idea of breakfast (Amercian here) is dominated by eating either fried/poached/scrambled eggs and toast, or cooking pancakes. Waffles, French Toast, and Omelettes are all common too. Sometimes I get ambitious and fry up some sausage, hashbrowns, or bacon with the aforementioned eggs and toast. Ever since I really got into cooking, eating cereal has become less attractive of a breakfast option.

Considering that eggs, ham, bacon, and sausage are such common elements of breakfast in the US, I wonder why the article characterized American breakfasts and "bland and sweet"?

 

[Keasar]

I had toast with cheese and ham, some cereal and glass of juice and milk.

Man do I feel boring watching these pictures.

I assume this all for one?

 

[cajunator]

crawfish omelette with cheese and green onion and crawfish grits are a great Louisiana breakfast I like to have some mornings. Usually I work all night and I typically just eat whatever is left over from the night before for breakfast. Or I go grab a few links of boudin or a boudin kolache.

 

[Nikodemos]

I assume this all for one?

Obviously not. I don't think anyone can eat a whole roll of cheese spread triangles. Heck, that assorted cheese platter alone is for about three pretty hungry adults.

Though even if I ate breakfast (which I don't), I could never eat halva for breakfast. It's just way too sweet. The burek OTOH is great, especially with a large glass of mint ayran.

 

[TheZink]

I typically start with a Quest Bar and a cup of Coffee.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

When I stayed in the South of France every morning they would serve a two small (fresh) baguettes, a small piece of camembert and a small piece of dark chocolate.

So simple but absolutely amazing.

Thought I'd share the 'Sunday' option for us Brits though, absolutely adore a Full English.

I want one they don't do them properly in ireland.

 

[Gormless Noodle]

I want to try hagelslag and vlokken. Any Dutch Gaffers down for a snack exchange?

I could but I think it would be much wiser to check here http://www.thedutchstore.com/webstore/product.aspx?code=147&list=104A145A147&type=ITEMCATEGORY for example (check flakes and sprinkles)

Sending to the US would cost like...18-25 Euros so I think going to a webstore like that would be a lot easier for you. Plus there's the risk that the stuff won't arrive in good condition and so on.

 

[Hypemaster]

American here. It's either cereal or scrambled eggs with bread for me, I never have time to eat a full course breakfast.

 

[d00d3n]

Huevos rancheros <3

The favourite dish of George W Bush.

 

[theWB27]

Most of these pics look great. Now that I may be moving out on my own in the next month...one of my goals is to start eating better, more, regularly. That especially means waking up early enough to make a decent breakfast most mornings.

 

[Pau]

Whenever I went back to Colombia, this is what I would eat. Breakfast can be more elaborate, but this is my favorite part. If we don't get stuff from local bakeries, it's typically Don Jonh. Pandequesos and arepas de queso.

 

[strata8]

Is that fairy bread? She's totally having fairy bread for breakfast.

the jesus on the toast, lmao! youll probably see a special edition in Univision about it

Yup, my mom made this almost every day. That or dosai.

Two of my favorite South Indian dishes.

Unfortunately I'm Punjabi so my mom never made them ;_;

You're saying we eat lead?

No, my dear esms: Our enemies eat lead for breakfast.

'MURICA. FUCK YEAR.

I never really ate breakfast past elementary school. If I was eating anything, it'd probably be cereal or french toast with an egg, probably.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I love mcgriddles.

We sprinkle lead on our food so we can build up a natural immunity to bullets. You can't kill red-blooded 'muricans. Ammunition can't kill us.

Checkmate.

I love chinese food, I really do, my favorite cuisine in the world*, but damn, fuck the normal chinese breakfast.
Congee in particular.

Jianbing on the other hand is the motherfucking bomb, that shit curb-stomp your hangover.

* which is cheating, yeah, it's not one cuisine, but if I ,ade a top 10 list, you'll have multiple chinese entries.

That's the tofu cruller thing, right? I've always been interested in trying that.

I believe these are just donuts, tofu cruller is more of a Japanese thing I think.
Though I'm not a huge fan of asian pastries (outside Vietnam of course) so I may be wrong here.

 

[Kickz]

A delicacy around my house, scrambled eggs in a Peanutbutter and Jelly sandwich, have it with a hot cup of Chai.

Can't find an actual pic lol

Thank you--what's the white dough the donuts are wrapped in, though? Is that not tofu?

Makes me want to start eating breakfast. Haven't done that since I was in middle school.

Meanwhile in Germany...

 

[Kenshin001]

Turkish breakfast looked great. I want that instead of two pieces of toast and instant coffee.

I loved the breakfast in Singapore though, kaya (coconut jam) toast, soft boiled egg and coffee.

My daughter usually has grain (toast / muffin), protein (a bit of scrambled egg or a slice of bacon), and fruit.

That is generally what I have as well.

 

[Vyroxis]

Proper American breakfasts of eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast and sausage is the best around. Cereal is for the lazy.

Natto isn't too bad once you get used to it. A little soy sauce helps kill the smell.

to be fair, the writer doesn't seem to know shit about American culture either.


as an american, i eat mostly greek yogurt with fruit and hard boiled eggs if i am in a rush.
