Break The Fast: what's your favorite breakfast food ?

[Rachel]

So after Loki posed the question caffeine how do you get yours? i thought it quite incomplete without the food that goes with it

so here it is folks what do you eat for breakfast ?

options being :
1.) Pancakes
2.) French Toast
3.)Cereal
4.) Eggs in any format
5.) Crepes
6.) Pastries ( could include : muffins, danishes, small hand held items that can be eaten on the go.)
7.) Bagels
8.) other ?

[Atlas]

Pastries definetely. Well first I drink a strong coffee or even two when waking up is tough. Then I take orange juice.

So croissants or pains au chocolats makes it up for me for a good breakfast.

Though, the last time I went to England which was probably more than 15 years ago. I took eggs, beans, ham and sausages, typical British and it didn't bothered me at the time. I try to put up with local customs when I travel.

[Loki]

I can't believe you missed of a full English breakfast! :eek:

IMO breakfast has to have bacon in it. :)

[Lars]

I usually eat ymer (cultured/fermented milk) and rugbrød (rye bread) with cheese.

I'm pretty sure most people outside of Denmark haven't heard of these food products so I'll give you some pictures.

Danish Bacon No way ! now what makes it different from American and Canadian Bacon ..?

[Ulf]

Coffee. I typically do not eat in the morning. I usually don't get hungry until lunch time.

[Loki]

I don't know ... it tastes better. Maybe they're kinder to their pigs? :confused:

They add less salt..? ah nicer to their pigs eh..?

Cereal and to be precise, then muesli. It's quite healthy.

thats creepy

[Äike]

whats muesli ?

Muesli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muesli), in Estonian we call it "müsli"

Health benefits of muesli:

All the main ingredients of muesli are considered important elements of a healthy diet:

* A diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of cancer and other age-related diseases, and a serving of muesli can contain one or two servings of fresh fruit.
* Oat products have been shown to help lower high blood cholesterol concentration (hypercholesterolemia) and thereby reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis.
* Products made from whole oat and wheat grains are rich in fibre and essential trace elements.
* Some types of nuts (especially walnuts) are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are associated with many health benefits, including the development of the nervous system.
* Milk products, often served with muesli, are a rich source of calcium and protein.
* The fruits that are in Muesli, as well as the oats are a source of fiber as well.

The low glycemic index of muesli without added sugar or honey helps with diabetes control.

While Muesli can be a vegan or vegetarian dish, it is not a raw food dish if the rolled oats are heated or steamed or "processed" in some fashion, but it is if traditional, old-fashioned, non-steamed, non-heated, just-rolled oats are used.

[anonymaus]

When I'm using it, my answer is the same thing I posted in the caffeine thread ;)

Perhaps 90% of the time I just have a shower for breakfast.

[Rachel]

:thumb001:
yummy heated water coming threw a iron coated metal shower head Yummy ! here in america our shower heads if there not brand new .. are pretty much coated in lime and rust ... so yummy ! sorry thats my sarcasm showing through

[Treffie]

I don't know ... it tastes better. Maybe they're kinder to their pigs? :confused:

Loki, I'm going to send you a pack of fresh Carmarthenshire bacon so that you know what real bacon tastes like. lol!

[Rachel]

if you think Loki does not know what good bacon taste like take pity on the poor america girl... we butcher foods from other countries when we try to make them American...

[Birka]

Raisin bran muffin

[Rachel]

now that sounds tasty :)

[Tabiti]

I usually eat after 12 am, since I'm not used to have breakfast. Only 250 ml of milk and coffee/cocoa is enough. But now I must take pills, so eat some fruits, mainly apples.

[Lyfing]

Lady Lyfing just fixed this for me..

http://i43.tinypic.com/2hezn9y.jpg

I might sometimes trade the toast and tater tots for biscuits and gravy though. Omelets are good too. Other than that that is my favorite stuff..

...:D

Is that black pudding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pudding) or chocolate cake on the right? :eek:

[Lars]

Müsli is really great. Sometimes rolled oats can be too boring. Have you tried to put on skinless almonds? Fresh berries and bananas are really good too. :)

[Rachel]

Lyfing, that looks like a very american breakfast to me :)

[Psychonaut]

My standard breakfast is three eggs and a glass of V8 (vegetable juice).

[Smaland]

When I was young, my mother would sometimes fix kippered herring in a cream sauce. Then we would laddle the herring over a piece of toast. Goes well with a cup of coffee. :D

[Lyfing]

Hey Loki,

That is actually a piece of steak I cooked myself yesterday. Then we went on a road trip to to one of our buddies. I was drunk. So I put it in a bag and took it with me. I was hungry. I didn't eat it and it set out in the van all night. Wel, she was in there cooking breakfast so I went and got it and threw it in a little skillet..

..that is it's story

I usually just take a cheese sandwich/ peanut butter sandwich (no butter or margarine) and a shot of caffeine :)

[sturmwalkure]

I usually eat eggs in the form of an omelette which usually includes whichever cheese and vegetables available or over-easy on Thomas's English muffins. Sometimes I have a bowl of Cheerios or Rice-Krispies with either bananas, blueberries or strawberries, or peaches when they are in season. Sometimes I skip breakfast if I sleep in too late.

[Vulpix]

Any of these: chocolate, meat, cheese, blueberries yoghurt. And lots of milk.

[Jamt]

On a good morning it is coffee, pushups and shower. 3 boiled eggs on knäckebröd with mustard and more coffee. Good stuff.

[Octothorpe]

I like to make scrambled eggs with a bit of cheese thrown in, perhaps some fresh herbs as well; sausage is always a nice choice, but I've been known to have have some venison, if there's any around. I prefer grape juice over orange, but I'll have milk if we have any baked goods around (I love to make orange-cinnamon rolls on the weekend mornings). A good cup of tea always makes breakfast nice.

At the school where I teach, we'll have Friday morning breakfasts together, with one department cooking for the rest on a rotating basis. When it's our turn, I like to make either a Dutch kouboi ("cowboy") or Champagne Eggs.

[Bloodeagle]

I love omelets of many kinds. I like them with spinach and linguisa the best.
I also love biscuits and gravy.:)
I also love Tex-Mex type breakfasts with chorizo and huevos rancheros.

But I do not have the time or the ability to handle such grubstaking gutbombs everyday.
I usually just drink coffee and have some oatmeal and yogurt.:coffee:

[Brynhild]

I normally have Muesli and yoghurt, or if I don't have time for that I will grab a banana. Coffee is an absolute must! French toast is something we have now and then, mainly on weekends.

I love all of the above, but I would also include a fry-up (English Breakfast). As for what I reckon is good bacon, I eat Aussie thanks. I might run the risk of Mad Pork Disease! :P

[Svarog]

my favorite breakfast is 1kg of bread, 5-6 eggs, several mini meat rolls, cheese and jam for after as a desert :)

i so forgot bacon.. but i wonder to all your Canadians... do you call our USA bacon american bacon just as we ( as americans) call your bacon Canadian Bacon ?

No because bacon strips are not a strictly American phenomenon. What we call bacon in Canada refers to bacon strips as well, and its definintely something a lot of people around here eat for breakfast. What you Americans call "Canadian bacon" is simply what we call back bacon and as far as I know nothing particularly Canadian about it, as I'm sure its been around for a while and is also eaten in other nations.

As for me, my 3 favourite breakfast foods are musli cereal, omelets (I make them with onions, peppers, mushrooms, cheese and various herbs and usually make a sandwich out of it), and rye bread with cheese and cold cuts. Though I also really like baked beans for breakfast too:thumb001:

[Ladejarlen]

Havregrøt

http://krydder.org/mat/2008/01/grot210108.gif

Havre is oat in english I think.


Scandinavia

A traditional Scandinavian breakfast commonly includes warm porridge made of boiled rolled oats, boiled with water and a pinch of salt and sometimes raisins. It is typically served with milk topped with lingonberry jam, cloudberry jam, or apple sauce, although sometimes it is served with honey or butter.

And usually I eat dark bread with fish on it. Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon or fenalår is great with some bread too, yum! And also I drink cold milk ofcourse:)

[Allenson]

My favorite breakfast, and one that I only eat maybe once a month, is several pieces of French toast (made with sourdough bread), liberally coated with my own, homemade maple syrup and a big pile of bacon.

This is one of those threads that make me hungry. :lightbul:

[SuuT]

Steak, eggs Benedict, fried potatoes, any kind of sausage and a bowl of fruit.

Fried potatoes :thumb001: I consider myself a wonderful fried potato cook :D My dad always made us fried taters with breakfast, usually with scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy. It was definitely one of those go back to bed meals. :embarrassed

[Rachel]

hell yeah now i hear that ! i think i will have to come to AL for good food ;)

[Lady L]

hell yeah now i hear that ! i think i will have to come to AL for good food ;)

:) You should. If you would enjoy things like above and fried foods in general ;)

Last night I made home made chicken strips, I'm not a big chicken eater but I make them mostly for Lyfing, the kids like them too. Usually I get the larger chicken breasts and Lyfing cuts them up into strips, and sometimes I buy the breasts that are already strips. The chicken I had last night though was really good, it was from Wal Mart :D it was cut into strips but they were wide and the chicken was cut thin. It was really pretty actually. :D

All I do to cook them is fill a skillet with cooking oil, turn it to medium high and let it warm well before I add the chicken. Wash the chicken well and keep it wet, I poor flour onto a plate along with seasoning salt, that way the seasoning mixes with the flour and sticks to the chicken too. Just lay the chicken on the plate of flour cover both sides good. No egg needed, just wet chicken and flour and whatever spices you like. I use tongs to put the chicken in and then cover with a lid. Turn when the side is brown and crispy. And let the other side get brown and crispy and there done! The chicken cooks fast that way, so don't let it get to brown or it will be tough. They are good to dip in sauce too. :) And, that would be really good with some fried taters! :D

[Rachel]

LOl i can't cook so most of my food is either already made or it's food that i can heat up in a microwave or i just eat out :) me +cooking = a house on fire .. sorry no visuals

[Lady L]

You probably can cook, if you really want. Its in your blood ;) You have to be passionate about it and relaxed. It is a wonderful stress relief. You have to also Own the kitchen, the utensils and the stove. :) If you know what I mean. ;) You don't want it to have control, or things will burn down, but if you have control everything should be just fine. Plus, your missing out on life by eating microwave and eating out only. :D

[Rachel]

good point and i do enjoy cooking sometimes i just fine that between working and going to class all i have time for is microwavable items...

[Lady L]

Maybe so ;) I wouldn't know, I went from right out of High School to being a Mother. :) But, what you could do is when you find time to cook, cook. And, that way, when you have a family one day ( if thats your thing ) you can cook for them. You don't want to be one of the women, that the man has to say " I love Her but she can't cook .." :p

[Rachel]

Good point, and i can sorta of cook it just has to be in the same pot and cooking at the same tempeture, it's very Irish if you ask me ;)

[Ladejarlen]

You girls are making me hungry, I will have reindeer stew for dinner, with foxberry, mushrooms and potato.

How does reindeer taste? Similar to beef or?
I've only tried once a salami with deer meat, nothing different than ordinary pork/beef one.

Buffalo is a fantastic red meat. I used to get Bison burgers regularly :thumb001:

[Aemma]

i so forgot bacon.. but i wonder to all your Canadians... do you call our USA bacon american bacon just as we ( as americans) call your bacon Canadian Bacon ?

They are different types of bacon. Regular bacon, which is neither Canadian nor American, is just ordinary bacon. There is back bacon, peameal bacon and Canadian bacon (or Canadian back bacon), all meaning slightly different (or not!) things. Here's a link (http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-canadian-bacon.htm). :)

[Crose]

French toast, fruit salad, a fried or scrambled egg. With a big glass of milk to wash it down. If i'm in a hurry I usually just grab some coffee and take instant oatmeal or fruit.

[Zankapfel]

Most of the time I only have coffee or Earl Grey tea first thing in the morning.
When in the mood though, this is my favourite breakfast:

http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv106/devianteu/frhuekstuek.jpg

Pancakes mit gedünsteten Äpfeln & Ahornsirup. I like apples ;]

[CelticViking]

Drink- Tea,Milo,Orange or Apple juice or milk.
Cereal- Milo, Cornflakes or rice bubbles. I used to have coco pops or fruit loops too.
Wheat bix.
Muesli
Toast.
Bacon and eggs.
Pan Cakes/pikelets :D

[Mistel]

I often go out for breakfast and so have cappuccino and croissant. Otherwise at home it's just tea or white coffee with croissant or cereals and maybe yoghurt.
