Pam (she/her)

US expat tooting from Portugal. Today, as most days, I have my favorite egg. I saute some green onions and spinach in butter, then cook an egg all mixed up over it, (I would say scrambled but no milk or whisking is involved) arrange it to be toast sized, spinkle grated cheese over it and cover it to let the cheese melt while my one piece of bacon finishes cooking and I pop one slice in the toaster. When toast is done I assemble toast egg and bacon for a open faced breakfast sandwich.

Most of the time, it's a lazy version. I grab a cast iron skillet, put olive oil in, and turn the heat to medium high, then make a spice mix based on smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and a touch of MSG, then grab a tin of peeled tomatoes and mash them with a potato masher.

Then I dice an onion and throw it in the skillet, followed by adding a diced paprika (bell pepper, or capsicum, for other cultures), and then I often add some beans and other vegetables that I have left around.

Add the spices to the sauteing veggies, and stir well, then add the mashed tomato, and then add a few gloves of garlic. Let that sit for a while, then turn off the heat a bit. A minute or two after the heat is turned off, dig holes in the mixture, and add eggs with an intact yoke in those holes. Then add a bit of water, and turn the heat back to medium-low and put a lid on.

Once the eggs are in the desired state (for me this means solid whites with gooey yolk), sprinkle grated parmesan on top, and eat straight out of the pan. Add some bread if desired.

I'm one of those bastards who often skips breakfast and just have a nice matcha in the morning instead. When I did partake in brekkie it was usually overnight oats. In various times of my life it might instead be a poppyseed bagel, a hard boiled egg, or (I was going through a lot at this time) a bread roll with chicken liver pรขtรฉ on it.

A mixed blend of several textures of oats, a spoonful of chia seeds and of flaxmeal, all cooked so thick that my spoon can stand up in it. Topped with lots of cinnamon or a pie-spice blend, and maybe some butter or maybe some sour cream.

Plus a pint of instant coffee with whole milk.

@zenbeater I donโ€™t know if itโ€™s my favorite but I eat scrambled eggs and toast quite often. I honestly like cereal a lot - a big bowl of Life Cereal and almond milk. But itโ€™s so much sugar and I know I donโ€™t feel as good later on. But if weโ€™re talking unhealthy breakfasts, chocolate chip waffles and bananas is another good one. When I was a kid I had a friendโ€™s mom that would always make us these egg pitas. I loved them but I donโ€™t know what she put in them.

South west England. The bitter taste of strong black coffee to wash down a fusion of existential dread and nihilism at the state of humanity as I doomscroll the propaganda that passes as news in 2026.*

*A special treat when I have a bit of time in the morning. The usual breakfast is coffee and eggs.

A Joe's Special omelette (ground beef, onions, fresh spinach; topped with shredded Parmesan) made with egg whites only, buckwheat pancakes with blackberry syrup, fresh fruit, English muffin, fresh strong coffee with cream. I may have ordered this so many times that I eventually just got it tattooed on my forearm.

Sheffield, England. Well, it's the closest place anyone's likely to have heard of.
Usual breakfast would be wheat flakes in a bowl with milk (no fork required!) and wholemeal toast with marmalade. Duerr's Seville normally, it's not as sweet as many, more tangy.
Favourite would be an Ulster fry, but without the tomatoes or white pudding, with soda rather than wheaten bread.
And tea. Breakfast always includes and is preceded by, tea.

When I lived in the U.S., my breakfast of choice was orange juice and Dannon coffee yogurt. (Specifically that brand and flavour.)

Here in N.Z., coffee yogurt is not a thing, so now I drink coffee and it's usually a soft-boiled egg with a couple pieces of fruit (bananas, mandarins, or sliced apples depending on season). There used to be a cafe across the street from work that made "rosti" - basically bacon and egg on hashed potatoes - it was amazing.

As favourite breakfasts go though, I have all sorts of nostalgia associated with a typical breakfast in Taipei - soymilk soup, deep fried donuty sticks, and sesame buns.

Do you consume your breakfast with a big bowl of coffee, Alexandre?
I visited France a few times and observed coffee being enjoyed out of bowls in peoples' homes.
Edited to add: I see that you drink black tea, rather than coffee, Alexander.
Do you drink it from a bowl?

Central Florida.

First breakfast is coffee with just enough bites of something to take meds with.

Second breakfast is when real food happens. And if I get to pick a favourite it would be somewhere between an Irish and English full breakfast fry-up. Eggs, beans, toast, bangers, white or black pudding, sautรฉed button mushrooms.

And a doctor to check my arteries for blockages. ๐Ÿคฃ

@reneeremains @TimWardCam @Affekt itโ€™s such a weirdly regional thing, too. And not really the regions youโ€™d expect!

@josh0 @TimWardCam @Affekt I doubt I would have ever had grits if it werenโ€™t for my grandmother. Even though I grew up in Texas no one else in my family likes grits. A lot of Southerners donโ€™t like them and if theyโ€™re never served them as a kid, they donโ€™t want to try them.

@Affekt @reneeremains @TimWardCam fascinating! I suspect that what weโ€™re seeing is the historical echoes of pre-industrial agriculture. Grits are essentially a by-product of processing corn with traditional stone mills, and the Midwest only became the maize-powerhouse we know today through the industrialization of our food system, including steel mills which only produce grits if you specifically want them. The satellite grits hotspots like LA, are no doubt a result of migration, with California and Los Angeles being hot spots for regional specialties from around the country and the world (Oakland, for example, has some of the best BBQ joints Iโ€™ve ever been to, many of which have been around since the 70s.)

Kotking

Hard question to answer for me.
I would say friendly and welcoming overall. Moldavian wine is what our country pride, landscape consisting of hills so you can have easy or painful time as bicyclist. Lots of Russian speaking so Russian and Romanian are interchangeable for young folks. We have divide with Transnistrea (which is basically enclave of pro Russian self appointed government) so there always fear of being consumed either by Romania (sell our country) or Russia (will take as granted). Fears changed before and after war of course, but russian propaganda still strong(lots of money flows for organised protests against government).

Yeah, thought whole night but not an easy question to answer. If you are historical buff then you will find lots of places to visit.

I'm in the UK. Usually, I skip breakfast as a way of getting some fasting in. At the moment, though, I'm suffering from heartburn (which started during my recent chickenpox episode), and I need to eat more often than usual.

I usually have a banana & jam sandwich on wholemeal with a bit of chopped fruit (maybe a pear and a satsuma, maybe a couple of plums, or whatever I can find in the fridge), accompanied by a pint of decaf green tea.

I have a schizoid tendency to eat the same thing on repeat, so nearly every morning for breakfast I have Icelandic-style skyr yogurt and four belvita crunchy breakfast biscuits with a glass of kombucha.

On the weekends I sometimes like to practice making the best medium-boiled eggs I can manage for myself, which I like to have with buttered sourdough toast, some plant-based sausages, and Iโ€™ll usually have skyr and kombucha with that as well

I generally skip breakfast these days but if I do, my favourite is 50/50 scrambled eggs, homemade sausage, sautรฉed spinach and tomato slices. Decafe coffee w unsweetened chocolate almond milk.

(50/50 eggs is 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites. Like 'egg white' eggs but with actual flavour.)

Absolute favourite brekky is a prawn Thai green curry with sticky rice.

If I can't have that, then sardines fried with kale, pepper, crispy bacon pieces. Then add a fried egg, some chilli flakes and croutons, dump into a bowl and dice half an avo into it.

If I can't have that, then eggs benni with smoked salmon and wilted baby spinach on fresh sourdough toast.

Aaand if i can't have that, then I love a bowl of oat porridge made with water and salt, with a knob of butter melted through it.

But my wife has a weird breakfast of black pudding on a bagel with butter, salsa verde and orange marmalade.

We both have our one coffee of the day, mine black, hers with cream and sugar

Is it better or worse than a timeline of Mark Ruffalos? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Well, it started from a conversation with @TheBreadmonkey about where it seems most people are from whom we engage with. And then I was going to do a poll, but I didnโ€™t know which countries to include (all of them???) and I felt lazy. And then I thought, โ€œJust asking people where theyโ€™re from is kind of boring. Maybe Iโ€™ll ask about breakfast too.โ€ I am fascinated by how different all of our breakfasts can be.

I probably should have hashtagged this so people could mute the hashtag.

I am in Adelaide, South Australia. I begin the day with 2 strong cups of English Breakfast tea. Other than that my breakfast varies a lot, but most often involves eggs - fried, scrambled or a 2-egg omelette with herbs.

My favourite breakfasts:

Crumpets with vegemite and melted cheese
Porridge (in winter)
Yoghurt and berries (in Summer)
Chia pudding with berries and yoghurt
Smashed avocado on toast, often layered with tomato, radish, hard boiled egg etc.
Kitchari
Dosa or Idli with sambar
Congee
A perfect omelette

Not a morning person, so pre-made overnight oats with yogurt & fruit. Tea or cheap-ass mocha-like drink. If we go out, loaded omelette and hashbrowns with strong sweet coffee. Except at one diner that puts something magical in their fluffy pancakes.

Loving the variety in these replies! Had to go make another cuppa tea.

Oh yeah the Mexican food and the farmers market are great! Lots of good people here! But they're not the city, sadly. The mayor and his/her cronies shipped in from Texas are the only ones who get to be the "City of Hillsboro." Just go up Brookwood sometime to highway 26, you'll see the ugly side of this place. All that wasn't there 10 years ago.

I'd like at least something more like the Beaverton system, where the city council get to do something other than sit there and look pretty. But I'll even accept our current dictator mayor situation if it stops all these data centers from going up, tax-free on our dime. If you can't tell from the dripping sarcasm in my voice, the polar opposite of that is true.

Smooth slow scramble with cooked tomato slices, mushrooms, baked beans, veg burger, veg sausage?

Fluffy pancakes, butter, veg bacon, fruit compote?

Muesli in warm orange juice, topped with whipped cream?

Rice cakes filled with red bean paste?

Frittata?

Asparagus quiche?

Egg and cheese, hard roll, saltpepperketchup?

Eggs Benedict Florentine (spinach instead of meat) and British chips?

So many breakfast decisions, depending upon availability, but lox and cream cheese on a toasted onion bagel with cucumber onion and tomato slices is high on my list
Next is cheese blintzes made with farmerโ€™s cheese and topped with sugar, blueberries and sour cream
If Iโ€™m at a restaurant that serves chicken and waffles or chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy, Iโ€™ll choose one of those
And black coffee
Or else a latte and a chocolate croissant
