What is your favorite breakfast?

A bowl of cereal?

The word cereal derives from Ceres, the name of the Roman goddess of harvest and agriculture. Cold cereal is largely an American invention, but its popularity has spread throughout the world.

Some YUMMY waffles?

Waffles were first introduced to North America in 1620, by pilgrims who brought the method from Holland. Thomas Jefferson brought a waffle iron from France, and waffle frolics or parties became popular in the late eighteenth century. Waffles were eaten with both sweet (molasses or maple syrup) and savory (such as kidney stew) toppings.

Blueberry Pancakes!

The first pancake-type foods were eaten by ancient peoples, and were not the same pancakes we eat today. The simple, fried concoctions of milk, flour, eggs and spices were called "Alita Dolcia" (Latin for "another sweet") by the Ancient Romans.

Depending upon the proportion of ingredients and method of cooking, the finished product might have approximated pancakes, fritters, omlettes, or custard. Some of these dishes were sweet (fruit, nuts, honey); others were savory (cheese, fish, meat). These ancient recipes are also thought to be the relatives of waffles, cakes, muffins, fritters, spoonbread and doughnuts. Pancakes, as we Americans know them today, were "invented" in Medieval Europe.

Eggs Benedict, true indulgence

There are differing accounts as to the origin of Eggs Benedict.

In an interview in the "Talk of the Town" column of The New Yorker in 1942, the year before his death, Lemuel Benedict, a retired Wall Street stock broker, claimed that he had wandered into the Waldorf Hotel in 1894, hoping to find a cure for his morning hangover, and ordered "buttered toast, poached eggs, crisp bacon and hollandaise". Oscar Tschirky, the maître d'hôtel and legendary "Oscar of the Waldorf", was so impressed with the dish that he put it on the breakfast and luncheon menus, but substituted ham and a toasted English muffin for the bacon and toast.

Craig Claiborne, in September 1967, wrote a column in The New York Times Magazine about a letter he had received from Edward P. Montgomery, an American then residing in France. In it, Montgomery related that the dish was created by Commodore E.C. Benedict, a banker and yachtsman, who died in 1920 at the age of 86. Montgomery also included a recipe for eggs Benedict, stating that the recipe had been given to him by his mother, who had received it from her brother, who was a friend of the Commodore.
 

Breakfast-Burrito-Large

Breakfast Burritos, some pan-fried potatoes and eggs sunny side up!

Southwestern cuisine, New Mexican cuisine in particular, has popularized the breakfast burrito. An entire American breakfast can be wrapped inside a 15-inch flour tortilla, accompanied by field-fresh, often very hot, green chile. Southwestern breakfast burritos may include scrambled eggs, potatoes, onions, chorizo, guisado, or bacon. Tia Sophia's, a Mexican café in Santa Fe, New Mexico, claims to have invented the original breakfast burrito in 1975, filling a rolled tortilla with bacon and potatoes, served wet with chili and cheese.

The WORKS!

Many regions of the U.S.A. have local breakfast specialties that are less popular nationally. In the South, homemade biscuits served with country-style gravy (also called sawmill gravy), country ham and red eye gravy and grits are one traditional breakfast menu.

The Southwest has huevos rancheros and spicy breakfast burritos; scrapple is a favorite in the Mid-Atlantic states; pork roll is rarely available outside New Jersey and Philadelphia; and New Englanders still occasionally indulge in fried salt-pork, and pie. Specialty sausages also vary in popularity regionally, such as linguiça in Hawaii and southern New England, andouille in Louisiana, and chorizo in the Southwest.

And where is SOS ???

Like mother’s milk the perfect breakfast,
now I’m not talking about that Creamed Chipped Beef on toast delicacy, I’m talking about the real stuff served in Marine chow halls across the world, a semi solid mass of gravy and lumps of some type of ground meat (usually unspecified) , the whole a kind of greyish tinge, smothered in copuous amounts of black pepper on stale toast it’s a feast fit for a king or at least a hungry Marine.

Ooooorah!
Tet68.

Who hasn’t been impressed at a messman breaking FOUR eggs
at a time, as you like, for as long as chow lasts or the eggs.

Sounds delicious!

BTW Vietnamese pancakes “Bahn Xeo” are like a crepe but are stuffed with savory fillings such a shrimp or pork and green onion.

Yummy!

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE
 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

I am surprised I am not the only one whose favorite was grits, eggs and sausage. Mother fixed grits probably two thirds of the time for breakfast. Eggs would be fried and sometimes scrambled, it would be either country link sausage or what we called sausage meat which was just a patty.

I would always mix them all together. A side of toast and milk or orange juice. My late wife could never get them quite right but they were still OK.

For a change we would have pancakes or cereal but grits, eggs and sausage were pretty much standard.
