Favorite Breakfast?

[SgtLumpy]

Two green, cheese enchiladas. Fresh, hot chips. Ice cold Corona, cold enough so there's ice chips starting to form in the bottle, no lime. Several styles of "real" salsa (none of that mango, kiwi, blueberry stuff) from roasted jap to green to habanero, medium thin, not chunky.

No beans and rice, save that for lunch later.

Top it off with a little Mexican fried ice cream if you're still hungry.

Mmmmm. 'Em's good eatin'!

Breakfast for a king

2 scrambled eggs, grits, hash browns, toast (with GRAPE jelly)
a large glass of milk and small glass of OJ. Bacon of course. And I wouldn't complain if they threw in a little sausage.

Salmon, especially smoked salmon omelet. With Serrano pepper, avocado, spinach, onion, a little tomato (sautéed with the salmon first in olive oil) and cheese.

What medical realities force me to eat for breakfast all the time: raisins and unsalted almonds


What I would like to eat for breakfast all the time: French toast, grits, OJ, and other assorted goodies

Beer - it's not just for breakfast anymore!

Eggs Benedict with fried potatoes.

Best breakfast I ever ate was a lobster omelette at My Blue Heaven in Key West. Around here once a year I get a feta omelette with gyro meat and tomato in it with white toast on the side at Tom's Diner.

So...Ya wanna talk Mexican breakfast eh?s. Miss Pam's parents had a traditional Mexican breakfast they would fix sometimes and it went like this right here:

.Home made flour tortillas
.Fresh made "chilito" FIL's name for the salsa he made with fresh tomatoes, peppers, onion, and cilantro....all fresh picked from his garden using an old antique mortar and pestle to crush it all together.
.Fresh made refried pinto beans also from his garden.
.They had no pigs or chickens so they had to buy the bacon and eggs from the store.

We didn't use no steenkeen silver ware neither. Use the tortillas as pushers. That will stick to your ribs all the way till lunch time and beyond.

I will definitely check that out, thanks!

Been there, done that, for sure. But I think the best juevos rancheros in Phoenix are found at Sylvia's La Canasta, on 7th Avenue at Missouri. That's the real deal, served scrambled on a soft corn tortilla, green chili sauce laced with spinach, crisp bacon, refried beans (with grated cheese) and a hot tortilla. When I get the urge for J.R., don't get in my way - that's where I'm headed!

Anyone here eat goetta? It's the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky version of scrapple: steel-cut oats, minced pork and onions, very German. Two versions, regular and hot. Comes in a roll like sausage. Slice it, fry it (I like it brown and crisp on the outside), and serve with eggs or just top with syrup. Delicious.

That sounds very good. Reckon there's any place around SE Texas that a person might find it? I'd love to give that a try sometime.

I like the Lemon-Ricotta Hot Cakes with fresh berries and pure maple syrup from Hells Kitchen in Minneapolis.

Oh, there are so many choices: bacon n' eggs, eggs Benedict, German pancakes with fresh fruit are all high on the list but they are number one.

My favorite breakfast has to be pancakes along with fresh caught trout and eggs fried in butter. Bacon is optional. They eggs might start out sunny side up or over easy but could end end up scrambled. It really doesn't matter. You get'm how you get'm.

You need a pot of cowboy coffee which is grounds of what ever coffee was cheap at the store tossed in the pot of water and allowed to boil for a bit. Let it sit some and then pour carefully.

This breakfast can only be cooked over a campfire that is high up in the mountains some where near tree line. I've ordered eggs and trout in few fine dining establishments. Somehow it just isn't as good.

Remember, if you were out catching those trout; instead of staying back in camp, bringing the fire back to life and cook'n well you'd better not be complaining about a little ash seasoning the eggs.

I'll Join Andy G. for biscuits and gravy. Best breakfast, ever, period.

Except for chorizo, eggs and hash browns, which is good, too.

And Bill B. raises the bar a little by mentioning coffee. A good, strong cup of coffee is what completes breakfast.

My tip is: take one of the egg shells from breakfast, rinse it out a little, and drop it in the coffee pot. Not on the grounds, in the pot. As it perks/drips, the calcium carbonate from the shell really mellows out the bite of really strong coffee, and takes it from a good beverage to "nectar of the gods."

PS....I am now officially hungry.

I was just thinking about my childhood, Mom making waffles, with Vermont Maid syrup. I loved it, I would try to fill every square with syrup.
I remember a time, when I was in school, and I would eat Oreos and Milk for breakfast. Now, THAT's breakfast of champions!

I like to eat breakfast any time of day. My wife does, too. We make it a point when we go on vacation to have breakfast for dinner, at least once.

I must say that my favorite would be:

Two eggs over medium (runny yolks, with whites cooked) *
Hash browns (or tater tots, or any other form of fried potatoes)
Rye toast
Black coffee (preferably a strong French roast)
Tangerine or pineapple juice


* "over easy" or "sunny side up" is disgusting, because you'll get them with the whites not fully cooked. It's like eating snot.

I wish I could give more than one like on this one. I like over medium as well and cant stand runny white. I love to have toast with it to sop up the yolk--which is peppered and salted-toast has to be buttered. I could eat that forever..

I'm not much for breakfast anymore but the German cooks at the Rhein Main AB mess hall put out one hell of a breakfast. omelets with ham , mushrooms and cheese , potato's , bacon and sausage. damn good cinnamon rolls also. I'm not sure what the army mess halls were like but there always seemed to be a lot of them eating on base.

I like German pancakes too--which was a platter sized tortilla with meat and cheese.

It's All Good


All of these delicacies are making me hungry.
There's a restaurant called Cutters, next to the Pike Place Market in Seattle. They make an Eggs Benedict with Dungeness Crab instead of Canadian Bacon. I would sell my mother to the Gypsies for one right now.
When our kids come for a visit, they want my wife's Swedish pancakes with chopped-up peaches and (real) whipped cream. She's actually 100% Norwegian but you'd never know.
Good topic. I'd try 'em all except for the Jalepeno ones-- I already take Purple Pills (for heartburn).

Two eggs sunny side, big spoon of refried beans, fried potatoes, on flour tortilla, all covered with Chili Verde..............Huevos Rancheros (may have spelled that wrong). However you spell it, it is good and good for ya.

You spelled it correctly, I dont see any red squiggly lines under the words.

I cant think of the Mex name for it--but I like a dish they make that is scrambled eggs with peppers, sliced corn tortilla potatoes all mixed together, comes with refried beans and that slimy green junk made from Avacadoes that I cant stand. I mix a lot of salsa with the beans and go to town.

Just thought of if--its called a Migas Plate. Ive got several Mex eateries with in a few minutes-think that will be my breakfast tomorrow.

 

[the ringo kid]

Cracker Barrel. Forgot the name but it has eggs, 3 meats, biscuit/gravy,grits,etc with hot tea.

Sounds like the meat trio or granny breakfast. Yummmmmm.
