What does America have for breakfast?
BBC News ^ | 15th August 2014 | Debbie Siegelbaum

Posted on 08/15/2014 8:28:33 AM PDT by the scotsman

'Imagine an American breakfast and what comes to mind? Ham and eggs, with hash browns? Pancakes with maple syrup and bacon? The reality tends to be simpler. Cereal and fruit juice have been breakfast staples for generations - though that now seems to be changing.'

One of the most difficult tasks was waking on Sunday morning knowing the keg must be drained

Because Brits have even more dismal lives than Americans do and are always looking for something we do wrong, in their minds, to lift their esteem.

Definitely not yogurt, unless you use it to make biscuits and gravy. That piece reads like an infommercial for chobani.

Carbs, cholesterol, and caffeine are what you need to start your day.

I LOVE a full British breakfast (each part of the UK has variations of the basic breakfast). There is nothing better than a good ‘British fry up’. Nothing.

Ok, spell it out.

What is a good British fry up?

We might have to go looking for one.

For heavens sake, its just a mildly interesting story on US culture, you cannot seriously be reading this as criticism.

Oh, and we Brits are quite fine thanks. Happy, not ‘dismal’. We after all live in a great and beautiful country with good people.

1978 Bermuda. The Coast Guard ship I was on pulled in moored a British sub. The next morning the chiefs on our boat went over there to meet and greet. There, on their quarterdeck on the pier by their gangway way the one watch stander, while on watch, with a full pint of ale. This was 0900.

The only time I thought another country was better off than the US.

Cooked Quaker oatmeal with cinnamon and applesauce about 3x per week, yogurt and strawberries 2x per week. On weekends coffee and nothing to eat until lunch time. That’s how I have breakfast. For some reason I can’t eat fatty breakfast meats or have butter first thing in the morning. It makes me nauseous. Later in the day is fine, I just can’t eat it earlier. On Saturdays I survey the flower garden with my coffee in hand and before I know it, I’m weeding and cleaning things up outside. Sunday mornings I sleep as late as I can without being late for church, so usually just a cup of coffee is all I get before I’m racing to church.

And yes, the traditional English breakfast turns my stomach. I’d hate to have to be in the same building with someone who eats that stuff first thing in the day.

1/2 of an English muffin with peanut butter along with a cup of coffee.

For 35 years it was a Marlboro and a cup of coffee. (Now THAT was “the Great American Breakfast”)
