A simple and elegant breakfast very easy to make

[oink]

And today's morning grub was:

Sardines in oil, over easy eggs, a couple of well toasted slices of that very dense German Pumpernickel bread.

I don't have any loyalty to any particular breakfast type.

So you're having a Jewish breakfast! Bagels and Lox!!!

Millions of NYers & others enjoy them & they aint Jewish, count me in. Simple/delicious YES, elegant IDK. Try a slice of tomato & lemon juice on it. THANKS for the craving.

I live in the Phoenix area of Arizona and I can state that bagels and lox are very popular here and we don't have a large Jewish population like New York.
Bagel shops are everywhere and every supermarket carries them that they usually make on site.

AS IN I wonder why people go gaga for this empty calorie tasteless/texture less "bread"? If it tastes good to you enjoy.

What's with the wonder bread remark? I've never eaten wonder bread in my life and there is no reference to it in my post and it is not in the pics.

My first meal of the day is usually mid afternoon. I'm just wired that way. In honor of this thread I will be having goetta, eggs, hash browns and stewed tomatoes with a flagon of barley pop.

Bloody luxury, that is.

i never heard of goetta before, but i'd like to try some.
pork n oats should be a great combo.

I must try this goetta thing!

 

[Rustyt1953]

The greater Cincinnati area consumes a million pounds of goetta annually. We're hooked.

It seems goetta originally contained offal but not the modern version. I'm sure it's now a more generally accepted flavor. I kinda like offal stuff like liver pudding and scrapple. I'm sure it's good. If I make it up that way I'll try it.

Goetta

Nothing like a chicken fried steak, fried potatoes and onions mixed together, a buttermilk biscuit, and all covered with sausage gravy, lots of gravy. Too bad I'm diabetic or I would weigh 400lbs.

IT'S NOTHING PRESONAL WJ

Your pic of circle bread, what we called toad in a hole, the bread shown REMINDED ME of wonder bread, THAT'S ALL. Not that you might actually eat wonder bread. All breads were changed to protect the innocent. "Wonder bread" would include most of the generic types of that soft, kinda flavorless sliced breads found at supermarket chains & so very popular here in FL, Notice I didn't say the South. Nothing to get worked up over. If you like it, EAT IT. TEHO, I'm a hard bread type. THAT'S ALL.

Porkroll, fried with an egg and cheese on a buttered hard roll.

I do have a favorite breakfast, but it's too much of pain to put together and fix. Once or twice each year, the wife and I run down to Bisbee, AZ, check in at the century-old Copper Queen hotel, and in the morning, THIS is what I order in their main floor dining area. Eggs Benedict - none finer.

GOETTA

YOU CAN'T HANDLE (may not want to) THE TRUTH. When the waitress told me scrapple was made from the parts they CAN'T USE in sausage, I had to stop & think what those parts might be & if I really wanted to eat them. Lips & other parts??? Sometimes you are better off not knowing. "A ground meat/grain concoction". If it tastes good, eat it & don't ask questions.

Got it, Thanks for the clarification.

 

[susieqz]

pig lips n other parts have always been used in sausage

Dammit, Rusty, you had to mention goetta. I love the stuff, especially Glier's hot version. Local Kroger stores generally only carry the standard one, which is delicious, but not as good as the spicy.

I prefer goetta to breakfast sausage, unless it's the sausage I make myself. It's better for you, since it's made with steel cut oats.

I can't get to Kroger, so I'll have to order some.

My granma made scrapple. Mostly pig liver and cornmeal.
Tasty stuff much better than the Habbersettes (sp?) found at Publix.
