Both of us take toast and milk (with instant coffee for me, Ovaltine/Bournvita and sugar for Pras) on most days (on weekends, we add a hardboiled egg each).
Some days (holidays, some saturdays--not sundays as we are rushed for time in the morning) we take South Indian breakfast (idli or dosai with saambaar)

I like to have cold pizza for breakfast though

I have various meals for breakfast. Sometimes noodles with vegetable (yu choy) plus egg, congee which is like rice porridge with maybe some pork, yu choy and onion and a little Uncle Chen white pepper, poach eggs on toast, scrambled eggs with onions. Occasionally I will blend a smoothie, pineapple, and banana, OJ, with protein powder also cereal and a banana.

Me too.

(but that's rare even though I do love it!)
I only eat breakfast a couple times a week,only if I am feeling unusually hungry in the morning. If I do eat, it's 1 or 2 peices of toast with butter or sometimes jelly.
And I drink 1 cup of coffee pretty much every morning.
One more thing...maybe 1-2 times a month I'll go out for breakfast with my mom, but it'll be at 10:30 or 11am.

Not very early. If we got out like that, I love getting eggs over easy, toast, bacon, and hashbrowns. I also love biscuits and gravy. But at home I never eat those.

i do not always have time for breakfast... when i am at work by 7am, its hard to eat before arriving... im just never hungry by then... if there is time at work, i will take a break and get some breakfast... i mix it up tho...
when i am not working, i usually take the luxury of sleeping in when possible... i am bad about skipping breakfast, but have been working on it since i found out i was pregnant...
my most frequent breakfast is a good helping of grits... sometimes with just a little butter and some salt... sometimes all out with cheese and bacon... if my arteries would allow it, i would also have biscuits and gravy with it... just my southern roots shining through

when I was pregnant I loved eating breakfest... it seemed to be the one meal I could eat... On the weekends my hubby and I would sometimes go this little Burger Joint down the street when I was pregnant... they had the best Breakfasts
I do like eating Breakfast things for supper sometimes ... like French toast or eggs etc....

Biscuits and gravy!!!!
sounds revolting, Ill have to ask my other half about this one....
I know what biscuits are in the US, but what on earth is Gravy?
I take it, we're not talking Bisto..

Nov 29 2006, 11:12 AM
a good gravy starts with sausage or bacon grease... just a tablespoon or so... then you add flour and brown it to make a rue... then depending on what kind of gravy you are going for you add milk (white gravy - typical breakfast gravy), water (a thinner brown gravy) and some folks add coffee (redeye gravy)
at thanksgiving, the drippings from the turkey are used and you can even use broth in place of water...
there are lots of variations and its a perfect compliment to a good biscuit... and you can season it to however it suits your taste

UK people and their assumption that all gravy has to be brown..... sigh.
Cooked sausage, crumbled up, some of the sausage grease/fat, milk, flour, butter. That's sausage gravy.
Much less revolting than say....haggis. or Marmite. or "Spotted Dick" (which I still say is a medical condition...)

If I have the time and patience, I love to make some Cream of Wheat using milk. It's just tedious to constantly stir the milk to a gradual boil, but mmmmm...when it's finished, especially with brown sugar and milk.

Nov 29 2006, 11:29 AM
I make an "eggarole" for us to take to work (like an egg strata thing with either sliced ham or turkey, veggies, and eggs). I vary it to add marinated artichokes and different cheeses to give us some variety. With mostly egg whites, it's pretty healthy.
On weekends we vary our meals...sometimes breakfast burritos, sometimes pancakes or waffles with eggs and ham or bacon. And we often do breakfast for dinner during the week, simliar to the weekend breakfast but with cheesy grits as well.
And when we don't feel like cooking, there's toast or cereal.
Always coffee to start, only 1-2 cups and then tea.

They DEFINITELY still make Tab. If they didn't, my mother would be unable to make it through the day.
She drinks at LEAST 12 a day. The local store here stocks it JUST for her. OMG when they switched from bottles to cans, she thought she was going to die.

Depends on what kind of time I have in the mornings. Sometimes it's a pack of crackers or a PBJ. Sometimes it's oatmeal (porridge for everyone else I guess) or when Joel is in the mood, I get his famous cheesy eggs.

Always coffee though...with that flavoured creamer stuff. MMM MMM Good!!!!!!!!

First thing in the morning is coffee. I need coffee. Then I make my vitamina #1 (I blend 1 small papaya with 150ml of milk, 1 tsp of
flaxseed) or my vitamina # 2 when I can't find papaya (I blend 1 banana, 1 apple, a bit of cinnamon and 1 tsp of flaxseed) and I drink it. Very healthy

Tea & toast, most mornings. Or if I'm running late and don't have time to eat before I go to work, either a bacon sandwich (with tea) or a Starbucks Extortionately Expensive Cheese & Marmite Panini (with an Extortionately Expensive Latte to go with it).

As one of my entries was a Please Specify, here it is:
I eat a bowl of raw cereal grains for breakfast jollied up with a dried fruit (varies from mix to mix), a nut or seed (varies from mix to mix) and dusted with a spice (varies from mix to mix). To this I add milk.
When the mix runs out, I mix up another batch. The ingredients in the cupboards are rotated after each new mix. There are 3 base ingredients of rolled oats, wheat bran and unsweetened shredded or otherwise pulverised coconut---whatever is available when I restock---that are in every mix in the same proportions. The number of different kinds of nuts and seeds is different from the number of dried fruits which, in turn, is also different from the number of spices. I seldom eat the same mix twice---unless I really like it and mix some up for my boyfriend when he comes to visit.
A surprisingly good mix added to the base 3 are currants, pecans and cardamom. But, if I had to eat the same flavours every day, I am sure to become bored with them.

Hello
Well I usually have my big cup/or could call it a small bowl (cappuccino cup) of coffee with steamed milk, sliced of buttered bioche with some apricot or raspberry confiture. Sometimes eat an omellette if we are having a late breakfast (brunch)...
My husband likes his black esspresso, a glass of steamed milk with honey and his sweeties (anything sweet pastry) and youghurt.
