Breakfast traditions

You should come and visit our house. Breakfast meal is similar to having lunch. My kids are not satisfied with just having bread or cereals in the morning. They need to have heavy breakfast.

In the US, it's common to have cereal for breakfast as well as variations on egg dishes (fried, scrambled, boiled, in burritos and so on). Waffles or pancakes seem to be popular when people have time to make them. Bacon and toast are breakfast foods, too. Personally, I eat whatever I have on hand. Sometimes leftovers from the day before and sometimes I will have eggs and toast, but more often toast and cream cheese. I have had leftover fried rice for breakfast, too!

This morning, I had a cheese wrap for breakfast. The cheese was jalapeno jack. If my boyfriend had seen my breakfast, he would not have been surprised. He would, however, have probably made some comment about it being "my stomach." He tends to go a little pale or a little green over some of the things that I will eat for breakfast. I can eat savory or even spicy foods for breakfast, but my stomach tends not to be awake enough for sweet, syrupy foods. Pancakes and maple syrup don't appeal to be so much the first thing in the morning as a nice flatbread or garlic smashed potato.

I usually eat bread with butter and cheese or jam and a couple of cups of coffee with a dab of milk. Many people in my country eat something like this for breakfast. Some people will eat scrambled eggs with their bread, no ham or bacon included. We eat a bread that is similar to the french bread, but better as I see it. When I went to Mexico, I saw that people ate a very different kind of breakfast. It was what I would have eaten at lunch with frijoles refritos and tortillas.

I usually eat hot rice on morning. This meal provide enough energy for whole day. I sometimes eat fried rice. However, I think this food is so hot.

We eat everything from bread, cereal, eggs, noodles, iced/hot tea, iced/hot coffee in Malaysia. I personally do not eat rice for breakfast, I prefer noodles. We have all types of noodles : soup, fried, dry, spicy, with sauce and more. As asian of course we have dim sum all the time.

I am from China. Here it is not so common to have the rice as the breakfast. But the noodles are common. But I heard that having the rice as breakfast is actually good for the health. You will have enough energy. And rice is supposed to be a healthy food, too. My breakfast is very different everyday so that my son will not be tired of it. So sometimes we will have the cake, bread, noodles, spaghetti etc.

In our country, most people just have bread (mostly hot pandesal)and coffee for breakfast.When instant noodles came into market, the kids mostly do have this for breakfast and it is really alarming knowing for a fact how unhealthy instant noodles are. Now in homes, where mothers are more attentive, they would cook fried rice and eggs for kids and (sadly) unhealthy hotdogs or any processed meat, or some dried fish. At home, I do cook rice for breakfast but never serve hotdog or any processed meat for health reason. Instead I serve fresh vegetables and fish to go with the rice. Then fresh fruit juice. It is just like lunch, the only difference is that we don't eat as much amount.

Most of the time I just drink coffee in the morning. I'm not usually hungry when I wake up. If I am, I'll eat whatever leftovers we might have in the fridge, or fry a couple eggs. I don't find it at all strange to eat rice or noodles in the morning. I've done it. I say, eat whatever you are hungry for. We shouldn't be bound to traditions. :)

Well, here in Argentina the common breakfast consists of coffee and "medialunas" which are similar to croissants. Also some french toasts with butter or jam and orange juice.

I often eat rice in my breakfast...but in traveling time, i may eat many types of food since my breakfast is so late, meat, vegetable, egg, fruit, etc... My friend was surprised to know that rarely i eat rice during my travel time, i just eat meat, fruit and vegetable, no rice at all.

Hi, In India, we have varieties and in each & every corner you will find something new too. Even at my home, sometimes i am very traditional with my south indian snacks of idli / dosa/upma/vada sambhar etc or its Poha (beaten rice cooked with vegetables and groundnut), chapati & fried or mix veg, dhokla (typical Maharashtrian dish) and at times it is 'lemon rice' with the left over rice. Bread/egg with pepper on it is a winter breakfast for my kids which they love. These days everyone loves the oatmeal, that too strawbery flavoured....

breakfast in my country is boiled egg, scramble egg, fried egg, honey, dry fruits, cereal, chocolate, piece of cake, milk, butter, jam, bread, tea,.. that was what i saw as breakfast all of my life, till i came to india and i saw people use lunch hear as breakfast, they make veg and take that as breakfast with kind of fresh and hot breads that they make and they call it roti or paratha. i got force to change in that way because i was hungry and i do not find the kind of food that i like them, so i adjust with new life....

In the Philippines, we like hot meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Filipinos make breakfast as the biggest meal of the day and usually fried meals: fried rice, fried eggs, and fried meat cuts (e.g. tapa (marinated beef), tocino (sweetened pork, and the usual hotdogs). As for light breakfast, the traditional "pandesal" bread with or without spreads (cheese or margarine) is the star. But Filipinos can't live without rice so the bread is just an appetizer. As they say, "eat like a king in the morning."

I am from Asia and in fact I am from South India. We have different types of Southindian food. I like dosa, masala dosa, onion uthapam, tomato uthapam, idili, etc. Puttu, appam, dosa, etc are some of the famous South Indian breakfasts.

hi Porcosino if I could get out for breakfast I would not be eating noodles or fried rice either., My order would be hash browns, eggs over easy and a small stack of pancakes. . here at Gold Crest we get one pancake no hash browns and one egg. so I am not a oodles and fried rice person either..,

hi porcospino. rice and noodles are staple foods in asia so it is not surprising that you were served these foods even for breakfast. i usually have a big breakfast and sometimes it will be fried rice and a viand plus a piece of fruit. other times, it will be just oatmeal and a granola bar or even toast with jam and a glass of juice. traditional breakfast varies here in the country depending on the region where you are staying. sometimes is it hot pan de sal (oven baked bread) served with butter or kesong puti (white cheese) and with hot coffee or hot chocoalate. other regions would serve fried rice with fried dried fish or dried squid. still other would serve fried rice with fried egg and beef strips. all this talk about breakfast is making me want to have some pancakes and fruit jam. yummy!!!

Yes fried rice and noodles are very popular food item in South-East Asian countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia and other countries. In these countries rice is the main food. In Indian Sub-continent both rice and wheat are main food. Indians usually do their breakfast by "roti"(made by pasted wheat) with omelet or vegetable curry. I took fried rice as breakfast in Malaysia. It is spicy and tasty.

I think you know what Indonesian cusines consist of: hot meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes, I go without breakfast. I only have some cake and a glass of coffee with milk. Yes, I was in the UK for 5 months. I got shocked the first time I was invited to a dinner. All the foods were strange to me.

Traditionally it's (different kinds of) porridge we eat. Later on it became bread but also with boiled or fried eggs (with or without bacon, cheese, etc added). Traditionally everybody had a cooked meal at noon, later on (because also women started to work and nobody is at home anymore during that time) we had our cooked meals (dinner) in between 5pm and 7 pm. (I think with that we also started to gather weight since these meals have way less time to digest/be used (the colories) since you go to bed.. also the digestion of it causes sleeping trouble to many. We mostly only eat twice a day. Late breakfast for me (kids at school) plus at about 5pm a cooked meal (that will change since my youngest will have their hot meal at school from April 3rd). Personally I don't care about eating a hot meal in the morning. Food is food plus I do not eat bread. But I do find it hard to have breakfast if I just come out of bed. In many eastern Europe countries I had soup, pancakes, etc for breakfast. In African countries rice is common as well, but also chips, etc you can have plus other left overs. Also.. the traditional English breakfast sounds to me (and my children) like a hot meal as well.
