What kind of breakfast is your favorite? Or where did you have the best breakfast ever, and what do they consist of?

Just came back from London, and had a British breakfast right before I departed. When I woke up this Saturday morning, I wanted it more than anything! Yeah I can make the part of it, fried eggs, fried tomatoes, fried toasts, baked beans... But what about the sausage, and black and white puddings? And proper thick black tea with milk and sugar?

It's so frustrating when you want certain food and can't have it because you can't get it from where you are!

It sounds disgusting, but my favourite breakfast is a McDonalds Bacon McMuffin meal. I think its my favourite due to association...I will explain. the only time I EVER eat it is if;
a) I am on my way to the ski hill back at home in Canada; the the only place you can go at 6am on Highway 1, leaving Calgary going into Banff.

and
b) I eat it in the Dublin airport before every flight. So, it means I am going somewhere cool, or home.

But I am a wheatabix man myself normally. I'm hungry.

Eggs benedict, or biscuits w/sausage gravy and eggs, or any number of Mexican concoctions I come up with.

Although I'm American and therefore haven't acquired a taste for the black pudding yet, I do crave a good fry every once in a while. We get the makings of ours imported from Ireland via a NY company. I had two Irish breakfasts this weekend, with all the trimmings & I think I've used up my nitrates & fat quotas for the next couple of months, but they were worth it.

Before I discovered the virtues of The Fry, my favorite breakfast was eggs scrambled with as many veggies as possible and some fresh salsa. And of course, every breakfast is made better if it's consumed with Barry's tea.

It's funny, I rarely eat anything but cereal, but I have lots of fave breakfast foods.

Biscuits and sausage gravy ranks high, as do blueberry pancakes and waffles.

But the most enjoyable breakfast while traveling is a tie - 1.fresh oj, w/ a bowl of yogurt and fresh fruit, and 2.a crepe w/ bananas and chocolate sauce. :-)

Good topic. Breakfast is always one of the most interesting meals to eat on the road -- just to see the sheer variety of possibilities for the morning meal. While I've had my share of "how could someone eat this first thing in the morning?" moments, there have also been some revelations:

- Fish, pickles, rice and soup in Japan
- Cheese, olives, vegetables and bread in Turkey
- Just about anything in France, even simple bread, jam and yogurt.
- English breakfast, of course
- Dumplings and buns in China

Ah, I should really try and eat less cereal ...

This is a sort of halfway favorite (with an asterisked "and it's good for you") at the end. It is surprisingly tasty though.

Real oatmeal -- the kind made with steel-cut oats (not the rolled) that you have to cook for half an hour. And then topped with a lot of pecans, lots of honey, and a splash of cream (or half and half). Sometimes I throw in banana chunks or raisins. It's ends up creamy and nutty-tasting, the honey and cream make it sweet and flavorful too.

Ahh, you can't beat a good ol' Traditional English Breakfast... A cuppa Tea and a fag!

I have to go with the traditional southern (US) breakfast, grits, eggs, bacon, and biscuits and gravy. Mmmmmm, I can feel the cholesterol. Oh and btw, you mix the bacon grease into the grits, maybe add some cheese, and eat it with spoonfuls of your eggs. Heavenly.

Well, I like a lot of different breakfasts.

In Mexico, I like a Torta, preferably an egg, cheese, and ham Torta, with guacamole sauce and chile. It can be gotten on the street. it is best on the street.

In Turkey, their breakfasts are about the healthiest. Eggs cucumbers, farmers cheese, and salads, with olive oil.

In the USA, how about some scrambled eggs, rye toast, and hash browns with good coffee.

In India, hot chapatis, butter, and eggs.

Thats a start.

Did I mention Atole in Guatemala?

I have to agree with the steel cut oatmeal. Throw in some blueberries, honey, and vanilla and you have the breakfast of champions. Man, it blows Quaker oats away.

Doesn't matter where I'm at, I prefer a piece of toast and a cup of tea or coffee. Sometimes a glass of fresh squeezed juice.

I can't eat a heavy breakfast and I hate eggs, but if I'm hungover, a mimosa and a tofu scramble is just what the doctor ordered.

I real life, every day I eat two pieces of whole grain toast with a unlawful amount of butter and then wash it down with coffee with a sinful amount of milk added.

On vacation, I do more or less the same, except that I substitute baguettes.

good coffee, black.

I like burned hash browns. I order them that way and rarely have I had a cook brave enough to really carbonize them. But when they are nice and black, with a hint of real potato in the middle, yum!

I also really like scrambled eggs with American cheese and a blob of that sweet chili sauce. It comes in a round jar and it says 'Homemade chili sauce.' It doesn't even list the ingredients...though it does list an address that one can write and request nutritional information. I find this quite funny. If the eggs do not have either of these two things, I will always have something else.

I like fruit a lot. Tend to look for that most everywhere...especially roadside stand fruit. Never disappoints.

MMMM...breakfast.

Me too! (Although I think you go a little further with the idea than I do. I rarely bother to order them in restaurants because they very, very rarely take me seriously when I ask if it's possible to get them "extremely well done". I've even used the pleading...."Please, just burn them" request, but with not a lot of success.)

Along the same lines....my favorite potato chip in the bag is the burnt one. Maybe we should start a company selling burnt potato foods?

1. Cream of Wheat--with brown sugar and a tiny bit of milk.

2. Croissant with an americano.

3. Yogurt mixed with cottage cheese and Grape Nuts.

4. Cheerios.

5. Scrambled eggs and fried tomatoes.

Can you tell I love breakfast food? And I don't reserve these meals for just the morning hours.

Homemade sourdough pancakes. I'm trying to figure out if I can include a small jar of starter on my next big trip.

In the uk, at Tescos, there is a bright orange-foil bag of tropical oat crunch that I would eat at all times of the day. Travelling I try to look for a muesli of some kind, failing that those delish chocolate centered and covered croissants but if I never cared about fat or cholesteral then the full English breakfast kicks them all into touch. Mmmm, breakfast
