What is your regional breakfast staple?

[INTELBYTES]

Down here in Texas it is breakfast taco's, Miga's and Carnitas (fried pork). I can't think of a better breakfast than any one of these covered with insanely hot salsa. (It doesn't hurt to wash them down with a Dos Equis as long is it's past 8:00 am.)

What kind of breakfast food is most common in your area of the Country?

[randr]

1. Huevos Rancheros

[INTELBYTES]

2. How could I forget about that one!

Another great breakfast dish!

[jarab]

5. Yeah, any preparation whose recipe

specifically requires "two tablespoons of lard."
...O..

[asthmaticeog]

3. In Ohio, it's fat. n/t

[XNASA]

4. Big Fluffy Omelettes......

My favorite......Feta Cheese & Spinach.

Stringy, crunchy hash browns. And buttermilk pancakes.

Many time, pancakes are offered in lieu of toast. So the waitress will ask you if you'd like pancakes....or toast. No brainer. I'll have the pancakes.

[Cassandra]

6. Although I'm about to have my usual breakfast of...

whole grain cereal and fruit and tea, I would say a regional breakfast here in NY would be bagels and lox and cream cheese, or scrambled eggs with lox and onions.

[INTELBYTES]

17. What's a lox?

:shrug:

[Cassandra]

22. Cold -smoked salmon

a particular variety thereof. Somewhere, there are details about the differences among styles of smoked salmon. All cold-smoked are usually sliced very thin.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

7. Fried eggs, Biscuits, sausage and sausage gravy... Coffee with chicory

Or possibly ham instead of sausage.

Health food Southern style.

[undergroundrailroad]

8. Bagels and anything that closely resembles Star Bucks in New York.

When I was younger, we would have a southern breakfast of biscuits w/butter and jam, fried fish and grits w/cheese. It was da bomb and I mean that literally. TOO MUCH FAT!


Enjoy breakfast and your weekend DU!

Undergroundrailroad :hi:

[blondeatlast]

9. Menudo--You probably know what it is, those who don't,

don't want to.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. I have images of cannibalism in my mind.

Please tell me they're TRUE!

[INTELBYTES]

18. As far down in Texas as I am, I never could bring myself to eat Menudo.

But I'll eat barbacoa by the bucket full!

Barbacoa = cow face

[Intelsucks]

24. You haven't lived until you've had a cow face taco

:9

[GOPisEvil]

34. Barbacoa is either done really well, or really poorly.

Nothing nastier than bad barbacoa. :puke:

Mole is the same way.

[INTELBYTES]

37. Dude, I've never had good mole.

Something about eating "chocolate" chicken doesn't appeal to me.

[bearfan454]

53. The mole here in Tx sucks. If you want real mole

you have to go to East Chicago. It is a black powder. No chocolate or peanut butter. The brand is El Popular made by Garza bros. I bring back 5 or 6 jars every time I go to Chicago. You fry your corn tortillas first, then in another pan you mix the mole powder with a little oil and add chicken broth until it is the consistency you want. Dip the tortillas in there and then fill them with whatever you want. I like potato, cheese, and chorizo. Bake them with Monterey Jack cheese on top and at the end add diced onions and shredded lettuce. That is what real mole is supposed to taste like to me.

[blondeatlast]

36. I did ONCE, and it was actually tasty, but I still can't get over

what it's made of, and will NEVER eat it again.

[SOteric]

10. Dungeness Crab Benedict, Smoked Salmon Hash

[GOPisEvil]

11. I have GOT to move to the PNW!

I'll bring the breakfast tacos! :9

[SOteric]

13. I didn't even get to mention

my personal favourite, the smoked Canadian Lake Trout pressed into lovely (onion, peppers, celery, horseradish & dijon) cakes and then served on an English muffin with Hollandaise ala benedict.

[GOPisEvil]

27. *drool*

Boy, that sounds yummy! :9

[m-jean03]

40. SOteric lives in the sophisticated big city

I just live in a little college town.

She sees fancy food all the time, I just see hungry college kids and old hippies pigging out, lumberjack style. No class, this town has. None at all. ;-)

[GOPisEvil]

45. Sounds like Austin...

...except substitute slacker for lumberjack.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

12. Egg White Omelette, Lox and Bagel

similar to NY. One of my fave breakfast places serves Turkey Hash-I think that is very New England.

[MAlibdem]

14. maple surup? (sp?)

also, i remember having scrambled eggs and franks as a little kid in Westroxbury, hella good. More local than regional, i guess.

[Lindsey]

15. L.A. ...

scenario at a restaurant: "I'll have egg whites, wheat toast (no butter), fruit in place of the hash browns,yogurt, and a soy latte! Hey...it's not L.A. for nothin'!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. Brazilian breakfast is rather spartan compared to American breakfast

Bread, butter or cream cheese, ham, cheese, coffee and milk, sometimes orange juice, sometimes some fruit.

Eating greasy, fried things in breakfast is a "crazy thing Americans do".

[Cassandra]

23. Don't think the fat content of your breakfast is less...

what with the butter, ham and cheese. It's just not sitting on the surface, feeling greasy.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

48. Heh.. You are attributing a Mark Twain quote in your sig to

a DUer.

:evilgrin:

[INTELBYTES]

20. When I visited my inlaws up in the Maryland area...

they fed me this stuff called "scrapple". It was pretty good from what I can remember, but I've heard that you don't want to know what the ingredients are.

[RebelOne]

21. Well, since I'm in Georgia

It's eggs, grits and bacon or ham.

[chenGOD]

25. Here in South Korea

It's rice, soup and kimchi

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

47. I love Kimchi! It's a strange addiction for a Southerner..

[chenGOD]

52. Indeed it is....

but not a totally unhealthy one. :)

poo-tee-weet

[clyrc]

26. sambuseks, fatirs and croissants

I love all three of them, but I usually have a slimfast bar for breakfast, or yogurt and fruit.

[BritishHuman]

28. Sausage sandwich at work

Porridge at the weekends. Mmm...

[INTELBYTES]

38. What is porridge anyway? Oatmeal? I know goldilocks was into it.

[BritishHuman]

46. It's Quaker Rolled Oats according to the side of the pack.

Mixed with hot milk and a sweetening of your choice.

The Scots use salt instead of a sweetener, but that's just because they like being miserable. Why else would they live in Scotland?

[The Lone Liberal]

29. For many the most popular breakfast meal, is hunger.

Not because they don't want to work, they are working. 14,812,000 people in the United States are members of working poor families and are faced with insecurity of having enough to eat. You must remember that each of us on here this morning has enough discretionary income to afford a computer and the cost to hookup to the internet.

Throughout this country there are people, mostly with children, who are wondering where the next meal is coming from and if there will be a next meal. Many are making a choice between seeking health care or eating. For a moment put yourself in their place, do you suffer the pain that is usually associated with sickness, injury or do you feed your family. Under the Republican regime that is the choice the working poor and the unemployed poor are faced with and in the meantime we forego revenue (cut taxes) for the wealthy that hate paying taxes, even to finance the war against terror, much less feed a hungry and sick child.

[INTELBYTES]

42. Had hunger once for breakfast. I didn't fill me up so I went to McDonalds.

Hungers alright if you have plenty of side dishes to go with it.

[JohnLocke]

30. Grits (nt).

[furrylitldevil]

31. In Colorado, it's work

I can count on one hand how many times I've had breakfast and a job at the same time.

[solinvictus]

32. Tennessee and Alabama

Eggs, grits, some form of smoked pork, gravy, and biscuits.Mmmmmmmmm.........

[LastKnight]

33. bacon, eggs, sausage... aah nothing like midwest farm products ...

...first thing in the morning.

-LK

[TrogL]

35. Waffles - Eggo or generic equivalent

The kids are whining because we're out.

[m-jean03]

39. Here in the Pacific Northwest

We pay homage to the lumberjack history of the region with big, hearty lumberjack breakfasts. Am I correct? At least in this hippie town, they seem to be very popular. Pancakes, eggs, potatoes and cheese... Too heavy for me, but everyone else I know digs it.

[0rion]

41. Huevos Ranchos or Breakfast Burritos

Tex Mex!

[Briarius]

43. Biscuits and Gravy!

nothing like several thousand calories to start the day!

[Cuban_Liberal]

44. A 'farmer's breakfast'

Bacon, sausage, ham or steak (usually a combination), eggs, fried potatoes, hot cereal, pancakes or waffles, biscuits, cheese amd fruit, all washed down with coffee or milk. Sometimes pie is also served with this gargantuan meal.

[ulysses]

50. ok, now I'm hungry

Morning, all. :hi:

[supernova]

49. Homemade buttermilk buscuits, country ham, grits, and eggs

Sometimes grits are made with sausage and cheese.

I also sove sausage seasoned with extra sage. :9

And home made jelly. :9

[KTM]

51. Mmmm... Biscuits & Gravy !!!

My GF makes the best damn sausage gravy EVER... over the top of biscuits, with fried (nuked, actually) eggs and hashbrowns... what a way to start the day !!

My "Breakfast of Champions" for years was a cup of joe and a smoke... then I met her... and I wonder why my pants have all gotten tight...
