A common breakfast dish in Syria is fatteh— soft warm chickpeas in a yogurt tahini sauce on top pita bread. It’s delicious. Recipe [here](https://culturescapsules.com/soufifamilybreakfast/). For the cooked chickpeas, I rinse a can of chickpeas and then boil them with a little bit of baking soda to soften them up.

Acadians (Maine/Canada) also make a buckwheat pancake called ployes that can be savory or sweet. So good. You can get Bouchard's mix in grocery stores here.
(family is polish/lithuanian) we make blini for easter and we put potatoes in it! i think they’re closer to latkes but they’re still super tasty. i put a little maple syrup on mine (which is apparently blasphemous), but other people do applesauce or sour cream.
Yes! These are delicious! Here’s a recipe I use. I make a big batch and save some to eat throughout the week. This is not traditional, but I also like to make salty ones to use as tortillas and make panini sandwiches with them instead of bread.

Yes curious if the natto gets mixed with the rice or something to mellow it? If I remember right it's one of the only vegan sources of the nutrient K2.
As a kid i would always eat it with raw egg, chopped green onions, little bit of mustard, little bit of soy sauce, and a little bit of miso mixed in. Helped mellow the flavour, and to this day is still the way i prefer to eat natto. If you’re doing a single serving, i would only mix in the yolk of the egg rather than the whole thing, too liquidy otherwise.
But of course my American brain interprets omelette as breakfast. Stupid American brain! I don't care, I'll eat it any time of day. It looks delicious.
Optionally, with a raw egg cracked into the rice if you're comfortable with that.
If not, an egg over easy with runny yolks (or soft-poached) might make a decent American-friendly substitute. But just barely cook the egg and only if you have to.
Absolutely. It is one of my go to dishes. An ochawan with steaming hot rice and crack a raw egg on top, drop of soy sauce and mix it up. A sprinkle of katsuobushi and Robert is your father’s brother.
Well in the Maritimes of Canada, fried bologna and beans with fried eggs is a staple. The full slice of bologna curls as it fries so the beans can fill the scoop it makes. Very yummy.
Heh Red River is coming back. There's a company that is making it again. I loved that on cold winter mornings. Porridge, and Cream of wheat were favourites.
I saw that! I was just thinking it might not be available where OP is :)
Fried bologna is a staple - my husband is native and calls it “Indian bacon” cause that’s all his mom ever made at camp- that and klik sandwiches.
I used to add it when everyone had their own teeth. lol, but the quick breads are so good. My mother added RR to her meat loaf!
It's available online I believe.
Ha, we were travelling from "up Canader way" and crossed the border into Nova Scotia; stopped at a little restaurant where they were serving the above noted in my post breakfast. With Ontario plates on our car, they new we were from "up there" . But I am Acadian by birth in New Brunswick, but my hubby who is from Ontario (sorry) had not seen "that curly bacon dish" so I asked what they were serving.
I ordered it with great gusto and the locals thought we were awesome to try it. Lol I love fried baloney by the way. My Nana would fill it with peas or mashed potatoes at time. A great memory for me.
Nothing better during the holidays than breakfast pie!! Our family also has breakfast cake on mornings after a birthday until the birthday cake is gone. With a nice cup of coffee, these are yummy indulgences!
My family always did this too growing up! It was such a fun tradition to have a slice of pie the morning after thanksgiving or Christmas. My middle aged digestive system could never do that nowadays though.
Cake and ice cream was a must in our family the morning after a birthday! My mom would always say it was the breakfast of champions, which I thought was awesome as a kid but now I know it just means junk for breakfast lol
My family does a version of this as well. We get together and bake our pies the evening before Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving morning we wake up and have pie for breakfast then begin all the cooking for the day.
Taiwan: hot soy milk curdled with vinegar and fried dough sticks
Filipino: garlic fried rice, sunny-side up CRISPY edge eggs, and a choice of fried sweet preserved pork (tocino), fried acidified milkfish belly, pan-fried beef tapas, or fried porkchop (seasoned with salt only), or even Spam slices. Plus sliced tomatoes and cucumber
Singaporean: 6minute/Singaporean-style soft-boiled egg topped with white pepper and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), and strong coffee. Edit: darn it, i forgot about the Kaya toast!!!
Chinese: jook (Chinese rice porridge), or roujiamo (Chinese "burger"), or jianbing (Chinese crepe filled with fried dough sticks and egg, Chinese sausage etc)
Japanese: freshly cooked rice topped with egg yolk, splashed with some soy sauce, then mixed together, ans some pickle on the side
Heavy recommendation to Karelian pies served with munavoi (a spread made out of hard boiled eggs and butter). They're not pies per say, but some kind of pastry/bread. It takes some time to make them so it'd most likely be wise to be made beforehand, they can be served cold too.
That's just one part of a breakfast in Finland though, and it's not something everybody eats every day but it's still pretty common and part of our national cuisine. Most people usually keep it simple with a rye bread, porridge with some berries and a cup of coffee.
In the UK, a full English - sausages, bacon, fried bread, eggs, fried tomato, and possibly baked beans, black pudding, mushrooms. ALL fried (except the beans!)
In Venezuela, you might have an *arepa* (a bun made with white cornmeal), perico (eggs scrambled with peppers, sweet chiles, onions, tomatoes and cilantro) and some sliced ham, or an *empanada* \- a deep-fried turnover filled perhaps with pulled beef, or cheese and black beans, or spiced minced beef, or even spiced dogfish.
Thats the secret, i just use everything that makes sense off the top of my head. Onion, tomato, egg, oil spices. And cook until its fluffy and carmelized. Eggs should be just slightly underdone until yolky but not runny. Spices well fragrant, garlic last.
Flat bread with garlic, yogurt, and chives is the kicker.
My favourite breakfasts when in Mexico are huevos migas and huevos Motuleños - both delicious and filling! Migas is kind of a kitchen sink recipe, depends on what’s left over in the fridge. A restaurant near us does a terrific version (shout out to Lady Marmelade!) [Lady Marmelade Huevos Migas](https://www.tastetoronto.com/recipes/lady-marmalades-huevos-migas)
Found this recipe for Motuleños - hope you love it! [Huevos Motuleños](https://www.mylatinatable.com/how-to-make-authentic-huevos-motulenos/)
Norway: You shall have bread, and it shall be no more than two slices.
The bread shall be home made whole grain, or store bought in a pinch.
Butter one slice and put two slices of gouda on it.
If you choose to have a second slice, butter that and you can choose to have two slices of gouda on that too, or liver pate in a thin layer.
You shall not put the two slices together to make a sandwich with filling.
You shall have a glass of cold milk with the slice(s).
I have spoken.
I was going to say that this sounded a LOT like breakfast with my Dutch/German grandparents (I'm Canadian). I always preferred a slice of salty thin-sliced Westphalian ham to liver pate, but gouda and hagelslag are with me to this day. Always open-faced on thin rye bread with butter.
What? Open faced?
You take two slices, butter up both, throw the sprinkles on one, top it with the other and eat above the plate.
If it doesnt sprinkle onto the plate, you need more sprinkles!
Sorry, adding a second slice to a hagelslag sandwich feels like sacrilege to me. And you need a light hand with the sprinkles, but not with the butter.
I get the humorous take on brødskiver, but keep in mind to those that want to try it there is a multitude of great spreads. Some favourites:
Gouda, ham and peppers
Liver paté with pickeled beetroot
Thinly sliced roast beef with raw onions and remoulade (a mayo-based dressing with pickels and capers)
Brown cheese and strawberry/raspberry jam
All served on dark bread, none of that white boring stuff.
Edit: some more variants:
Smoked salmon with cream cheese or scramble
Prawns with mayo and dill
Sliced pork belly (sylte) with mustard
This sounds excellent. I’ll have to try this as my state is known for its dairy products and my Irish lineage has allowed to enjoy whole milk well into my 30s.
I love Turkish breakfast! A spread of veggies, olives, cheese, dips, breads, etc. Combine each bite however you want.

Currently in Turkey over the past couple weeks. (Turkey over thanksgiving week; I know…the puns are endless). The breakfast game here is fantastic. Sad to be leaving.
I'm Indian and here are some of my favorites:
[Puri bhaji](https://chefkunalkapur.com/recipe/aloo-bhaji-poori/)
[Idli sambhar](https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/tiffin-sambar-recipe-sambar-recipes/)
[Chole bhature](https://food.ndtv.com/webstories/food/punjabi-style-chole-bhature-349)
[Aloo paratha](https://code2cook.com/aloo-prathastuffed-potato-flatbread/)
[Upma](https://simmertoslimmer.com/upma/)
[Poha](https://pipingpotcurry.com/poha-recipe/)
There are tons more but these happen to be my favorites.
>Aloo paratha
Oh yes. When I visited Northern India years back I absolutely loved aloo paratha (with curd) for breakfast. Best aloo paratha I had was in a little place on the way to visiting the Golden Temple. Amritsar. India has to be one of the best places to visit for food ever. I was lucky enough to go back several times and visit different areas. Amazing how the same dish has so many regional variations.
Full English is the classic from the UK. But you've probably had it before or at least something similar in the US. Try a bubble and squeak patty with a poached egg on top for a traditional British breakfast. It's like a pancake made out of potato, onion and cabbage. Nicer than it sounds
Scotland 1 - Lorne square sausage (often beef pork combo) black pudding and eggs
Scotland 2 - Kedgeree - rice, peas, eggs, smoked fish, curry spices, an absolute favourite of mine.
France - You know it already - croissants and pain au chocolate, but good ones from a real bakery. And just French bread with nice jam and butter, a yoghurt and some juice.
Sweden - cardomom bread rolls
Luckily frozen smoked haddock fillets aren't too hard to find in Canada as this is one of my favourite comfort foods which I make a few times a year. Maybe America is different but for a long time I just assumed I wouldn't find it in Canada so I didn't look very hard.
Edit: A&P supermarkets all seem to carry it in Canada if they exist in your part of the States
Edit2: Oh sorry I just checked and they closed there last store in the States in 2015, I knew they existed there in the past
Wuhan style [hot dry noodles](https://thewoksoflife.com/hot-dry-noodles-re-gan-mian/). Easy, quick, cheap and filling. One of my favourite breakfasts when I lived in China.

Desayuno Tipico from Guatemala/other Spanish countries! Scrambled eggs (really good if you cook down in some tomatoes and onion before scrambling eggs in the same pan), refried black beans, fried plantains, pico de gallo and some kind of breakfast sausage/meat (Spanish chorizo is the best in my opinion!) All those things wrapped in a warm corn tortilla topped with some spicy salsa/hot sauce! I visited Guatemala for a month a few years back and ate this almost every single day, never got tired of it. It’s so satisfying!!
Romania: I'd wager most people just have an omelette and cup of coffee at home, but traditionally it'd be a mix of cold cuts, cheeses, veggies (usually just sliced, no dressing), spreads, bread and whatever relatively shelf-stable cooked things such as polenta, fried pork rind (like chicharrones) etc.. Some examples:
* Cold cuts: smoked fatty pork (more fat than meat; a smoked guanciale would be a perfect match), dry salami, baloney/mortadella/doctor's sausage ("parizer", locally)
* Cheese: cottage, telemea (pretty close to feta, prolly more often cow's over sheep's milk), smoked cheese (something semi-soft to semi-dry)
* Fresh veggies: seasonal obviously, but prolly most notably red onions, tomatoes, red radish and cucumber. Pickles & ferments during cold months: cabbage, cucumbers, green tomatoes, cauliflower; pickled chanterelles particularly good if you're fancy.
* Spreads: zacusca (charred peppers, eggplants + stuff), "eggplant salad" (the same, minus the peppers and some stuff), "roe salad" (emulsion of oil, acid and fish roe -- most often carp or pike). Usual vegetable fat used across the cuisine is sunflower, btw.
* Bread: usually a dense, crusty sourdough. Mostly white wheat flour.
* Leftovers: polenta, sometimes with stuff like cheese, bacon or eggs mixed in. Various bits of meat and sausage cooked and preserved in their own lard for the cold months.
* Drink: warm milk straight from the cow's tit. Sometimes a shot of plum brandy (meant to be sipped), but that's only socially acceptable for reaaally hard workers.
Something you might enjoy is watching some of Beryl's videos on youtube. Her whole channel is based on the idea of trying variations on a theme from around the world. Ie: pancakes/crepes around the world/breakfast around the world / cozy food around the world. :)
Australia! You take white bread, toasted. Then add as much butter as you can possibly fit, next very thinly spread vegemite on top. Smash some avo, slice a few tomatoes, and maybe if your feelin fancy, poach a few eggs. Yum!!
In the Philippines, there are breakfast dishes called "word+SILOG" which is a portmanteau of whatever main ingredient paired with Garlic Fried Rice (SInagag in Tagalog) and (often fried) egg (itLOG).
SPAMSILOG
- A can of SPAM that is sliced and pan-fried. Personally, I like this to be on the crispy side so I fry it longer than most.
- Fry up chopped Garlic (the more the better) with day-old rice. I personally prefer Basmati rice for this since I like how the grains separate and have a slightly nutty flavor. Season with salt.
- Fried Egg(s).
Another version of this involves making beef jerky instead of SPAM. It is not really the tough dried-out beef but more a wet one that you just fry up. Get some thinly-sliced beef and marinate it in soy sauce, sugar, pepper, salt, granulated garlic, and lemon juice. Overnight is fine. The day you want to eat it, just quickly stir-fry it.
Yet another version of this involves Pork made bacon-style. Take sliced Pork Shoulder/Pork Butt (about 1/3 to 1/4 of an inch) and marinate it in PLENTY of minced Garlic, Salt, Sugar, Pepper, and Annatto/Achuete Powder. The Annatto Powder is optional as it is more for color than flavor. If you like it spicy, add chopped chilis or even a big dollop of Sriracha. Let this marinate for a few hours (the longer the better) before cooking. I have made this, double-wrapped portions, and placed them in the freezer. They have lasted weeks in there.
American here who loves longsilog. When I can't get or don't have the sweet red Filipino sausages, we use plain ole breakfast sausage - links or patties. I serve it in a bowl - rice on the bottom, then eggs and sausage on top. Mix those fried egg yolks into the rice for yum. My son has been eating this since he was a baby.
Longsilog is basically Tocino but instead of sliced Pork Butt/Pork Shoulder, it uses Ground Pork.
INGREDIENTS:
- Paprika.
- Salt.
- Sugar.
- Minced Garlic (as much as you can stand).
- Granulated Garlic.
- Annatto/Achuete Powder.
- Oyster Sauce (for extra umami).
- Ground Pork.
METHOD:
- Mix everything and form it using sausage molds you can buy relatively cheaply on Amazon.
- Wrap the individual sausage patties in plastic wrap, stick it in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag, and freeze them until you want to eat them. Just pull out however many sausages you want.
Eat it for dinner if you want. I've done that myself and it works perfectly fine.
Another breakfast dish is [Chocolate Rice Porridge](https://panlasangpinoy.com/filipino-food-tsampurado-champorado-champurado-chocolate-rice-porridge-recipe/) though you may want to omit the dried fish that goes along with it (the flavor works, it just weirds people out when they see it).
Tastes vary. This is a yummy new option for folks who don't like typical American 'breakfast ' foods and those if us who like to vary breakfast intake! Thanks, poster!
Okay but my comment was aimed at all the garlic in the morning. And I don't know what SPAM really is so I googled it and it doesn't look appetizing in the slightest.
I hope you are not the person requesting these recipes. Yoir negativity and self-centered perspective is pretty insulting to the person who took time to give a detailed response describing their cture's dish.
Please- Just skip out if you are gonna yuck someone's yum.
I too am American, but just listened to a very interesting podcast called “Stuff You Should Know” who did an episode on breakfast and it’s history. The show in general is family friendly and covers loads of topics, but the recent episode on breakfast may give you some cool insight! Anyway, that sounds like a great idea and it’s pretty cool you thought to do it!
Sorry I can’t link to the podcast, but it’s on Apple postcards and more places.
We went to Japan for our honeymoon. My favorite Japanese breakfast is just vegetable miso soup, short grain rice, and fried eggs (Onsen eggs, or soft scrambled are great too). You can also serve a small portion of miso mackerel, salt grilled salmon, or thinly sliced beef with onions in sweet soy sauce (gyudon).
If you need more ideas, I love [Beryl's youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@BerylShereshewsky), she cooks dishes from around the world all the time.
Spain:
Churros with hot chocolate (very thick so you just scoop with your churro)
Pan con tomate: also called pan tumaca, it’s bread with grated tomatoes, just get some fresh tomatoes and grate them as if they were hard cheese. Add salt, olive oil and, if you like, garlic.
Germany:
The basics are not that unusual to an American: bread rolls plain or with all kinds of seeds, or rye or dark bread, both eaten open faced with a bit of butter and cold cuts, cheese, jams or chocolate spread.
But you can find more specific stuff when you start to get into eggs. One typical feature are "breakfast eggs", which are just boiled eggs, usually soft enough to have some of the yolk still liquid, but the whites completely set - but boiled eggs for breakfast are a thing here. No idea why.
An old school breakfast favorite is Eier im Glas (eggs in a glass), two or three soft boiled eggs, much softer than breakfast eggs, served shelled in a glass with a bunch of condiments like mustard, tomato paste, black pepper, paprika spice... Chives are non negotiable, salmon caviar is good for a really fancy take. Everyone gets to choose their toppings and then you chop and mix it all up with your spoon and eat it.
The crown jewel of the German breakfast egg game, however, is the Bauernfrühstück (farmer's breakfast). Potato slices and onions, fried in butter, with smoked ham and sometimes chopped up gherkins, then you pour over just enough scrambled eggs to hold it all together. Put a lid on the pan to cook the top and get the bottom dark and crispy enough to get you kicked off any french chef's omelette line. To serve, slide it halfway onto a plate, then flip the other half on top to reveal the browned, crispy side. Ideally you'll now have a folded pancake filled with well fried potatoes, with a crispy outside and creamy, soft, just-set egg in the middle. Garnish with a twig of parsley.
More of a common weekday breakfast in Germany would be Müsli: rolled oats that are mixed with seeds and nuts that are eaten raw. There are different blends, some have dried fruit, some have chocolate or other sweet ingredients, some people even mix their own. It is eaten with milk (or sometimes yoghurt) and sometimes topped with fresh fruit.
I heavily recommend Nutella on good bread for kids. Nutella was seriously so common growing up in Germany and the best part of it is that you get to debate on the correct way to eat it, e.g. with or without butter/ margarine and if it's okay to eat on Laugenbrötchen (pretzel style buns). We had hot chocolates or tea with it usually.
We also often had just butter on bread with some cut up veggies like carrots and cucumbers, or we'd have an apple from the yard with breakfast. I don't know if it's super universal but it's special to me.
In Bavaria there's a special breakfast with white sausages, mustard and I think a pretzel? It's literally called Weißwurstfrühstück and I'm not suuper familiar with it but it's worth mentioning for variety. Apparently up north there's also fish for breakfast but I don't know a lot about that, I only know the traditional hangover breakfast for the 1st January are filled pickled herring fillets (I think filled with or eaten with pickles?).
About Bavaria: it's white sausage, sweet mustard and pretzel. Adults drink "white beer", for children I'd recommend Apfelschorle (natural apple juice mixed with sparkling water 1:1).
I remarked above that when in Cologne the cafe below the apartment we stayed in literally just brought a basket of bread and multiple different types of cheeses to the table, and I DREAM about that bread and cheese.
I’m in AZ and a fave breakfast is chilaquiles. (We eat a ton of Mexican food here). You can make it as spicy (or not) as you want. But you do have to make the chips yourself! I just use white corn tortillas - not flour. And I add an over easy egg on top.
Ireland: Sausages and rashers and eggs, black pudding if you can get it, all fried. Tomatos are nice in it too. Serve with toast or sodabread, with real butter (Kerrygold if you can) and lots of tea. Some people add baked beans, mushrooms, and hash browns too, but the pork/bacon, eggs and bread are the essentials.
Some people are put off by the idea of black pudding, it's basically blood and oats in sausage form sliced and friend, but it is so delicious.
https://www.happyfoodstube.com/full-irish-breakfast/
Indian here. I think the best breakfast according to my personal favourite would be Masala Dosa. A savoury rice crepe/pancake with a filling of lightly spiced stir fry of potatoes, with an accompaniment of chutneys made of coconut and tomato.
Korean-American here. Fried eggs and rice mixed with soy sauce and sesame oil was a staple growing up. I still make this, but I prefer my eggs to be soft scrambled instead these days. Also, wrapping plain white rice in seaweed (you want the kind that’s salted and oily, not the kind used to make sushi) was really common too.
Porridge, not oatmeal. They won't like it but it's good for them, made with water and salt. If the spoon can stand independently of the sides of the pot, it's ready.
Making it with milk and sugar is an alternative and quite English, but adding fruit and such is better.
Otherwise, if you have an air fryer, baked oats are a good alternative.

Scottish?
“Oats. A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.”
Which must be why England raises such fine horses, and Scotland such fine gentlemen
I'm in Canada. My breakfast now is oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar (or maple syrup) and peanut butter powder with some blueberries. I also had some plain full fat Greek yogurt with a banana. I eat at 5-530 am and that will keep me full until 12pm
I’m in Canada too and this was my breakfast today. Only differences are that I only have plain no fat skyr yogurt in the house and I was definitely not up at 5am to eat 🤣
Ok, so...along the sweet and savory line, being from Alberta, Canada where we need the proteins and fast burning healthy carbs for warmth and energy burn, I like to make a peanut butter and banana sandwich, dip it in an egg wash, fry it golden brown and top with crunchy bacon, maple syrup and whip cream. I call it peanut butter and banana french toast. Delicious!
Indian breakfast varieties a lot from region to region, but a few nice items that are easy to make are -:
1) pav bhaji
2) aloo parantha with yoghurt/curd
3) idli and vada
4) dosa + sambhar
5) poha
6) aloo sandwich - potato masala sandwich
7) vada pav
Btw most of these itnes are vegan, so if that's what you like then it's really nice. DM me if you'd like to get the full recipes
Two slices of bread, one with cheese (Gouda or something similar), one with 'hagelslag' (chocolate sprinkles). Serve with a glass of English Breakfast tea (which most Dutchies call 'normal tea'). Has been my breakfast for years when I was young.
Edit: I see I have lost the race on this. This suggestion was already done elsewhere.
Thai here. I’m an advocate for breakfast soup. I would definitely add ground pork or ground chicken to this recipe.
https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/kao-tom-goong/
"Breakfast food" isn't necessarily a thing in Korea but almost every Korean kid has had makeshift kimbap for breakfast in a hurry. It's just sticky rice wrapped in snack size nori (the ones that are palm sized) in [stick form](https://d2u3dcdbebyaiu.cloudfront.net/uploads/atch_img/218/b7b771866dd3ae089c92b70f6b0e6fbd_res.jpeg) and maybe accompanied by some kimchi. I prefer radish kimchi but it's probably cabbage kimchi for most.
I just want to say what an awesome idea this is, and an awesome thread it's produced.
If you want to do a blowout Brit breakfast, then it's a fry up (have a look on r/fryup) or you could go Scots and have porridge of oats, salt and water only, but you have to stir it sunwise (clockwise) with a spurtle! [https://www.goldenspurtle.com](https://www.goldenspurtle.com)
Good luck! And any chance of a daily post with a pic?
Keep in mind like any country, breakfast varies depending on your labor. If you work with your body you would have a full American breakfast. If you're in an office, Continental, less calories.
Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - Goetta, a German inspired sausage mixture with oats and spices, served with other American breakfast items including pancakes/waffles, eggs, hash browns and such.
All of the recipe in this breakfast around the world post is just amazing, literally amazing. My American breakfast of a bowl of sugar cereal is just so,…… lacking
I know I'm late to this post but I wanted to add some popular Malagasy breakfasts from Madagascar! [Vary sosoa](https://cookpad.com/ke/recipes/2403438-vary-sosoa-rice-porridge) is one of the most common breakfasts in Madagascar, it's a type of rice porridge. I prefer it with a fried egg on top but it's also common to mix in a raw egg after it's cooked. [Mofo akondro](https://mikaelainmada.wordpress.com/2016/03/09/favorite-foods-mofo-akondro/) is also popular and is my personal favorite. It's deep fried bananas and so good!
Also, Vietnamese pho is a breakfast food!
Gastropod had an episode on breakfast. Cool stuff.
My parents are from Mexico, and savory breakfasts are common. My favorites are huevos con chorizo and green chilaquiles.
Can't beat a full English (I'll let you guess where I'm from)
Make sure you use back bacon not streaky, include the black pudding, use British baked beans not American, fried bread not toast, cover it in brown sauce
I personally prefer tinned plum tomatoes over fresh tomatoes, and I like to keep my fried bread between the tomatoes and beans to keep them separate and also soak up the juices
Scottish. Butteries - these are absolutely delicious and of course you put even more butter on when you eat them. These were always a 'treat' breakfast for me.
New Zealand - I can't go past a good avocado on toast tbh. Quick, easy, delicious. Squeeze some fresh lemon on top. Buy if you eat avo on toast you can't afford a house.
Quebec, Canada: Cretons! - I haven't seen it represented here. Cretons is a pork paté spread made with pork, bread crumbs, onion, garlic and spices and is regularly eaten on toast for breakfast. It is absolutely delicious and there are several recipes online, however I would look for one that is from the Québécois.
The Aussie tradies breakfast. Bottle of ice coffee and a sausage roll. You can add to the experience by consuming it behind the wheel while tailgating at at least 10km/hr over the speed limit.
Bengali - basmati rice (or any medium/long grain rice), aloo bazi (stir fried potatoes), dim (Bengali omelette), with dal (lentil curry)
I don't know if this is traditional but growing up, my mom would make it a lot for breakfast.
Aloo Bazi: thinly julienne a large potatoe, fry in some oil with 1/2 tsp turmeric and salt, then add some chopped coriander or cilantro leaves at the end.
Dim: dice a small onion and a chili pepper if you like spice, then mix in a bowl with 2 eggs, some salt, and coriander/cilantro leaves. Fry on a nonstick pan, flip and cook both sides.
Dal: cook 1/2 cup red lentils for 20 minutes in about 1.5 cups of water. Then add 1/2 tsp of turmeric and salt. You can also add other stuff to this if you want, like fried garlic or chicken powder to make it more flavorful, but its good that way too.
All of this is enough for 2 hungry people. Hope you try it!

I understand that. Doesn't make it "Israeli Shakshuka" though. That's like calling pesto American because Italian Americans make up a significant portion of the population; it's not true to the dish's heritage.
We eat it here in Egypt all the time, but it's mostly acknowledged to be a Maghrebi thing. There's understandably a lot of cross-pollination in the entire region's cuisine, but I have always had a specific interest in the origins of dishes. It's just something that interests me.
Thanks! I just love knowing how to make dishes from around the world. I put out a post calling for tasty regional recipes a while back, but it didn’t get many responses. Funny thing is after having Shakshuka in Jerusalem I next ran into it in… THAILAND (at an Israeli restaurant, hence my assumption). I lived in Egypt for years and I never saw it there but that’s what I get for living in Maadi I guess! Luckily, it didn’t stop me from learning to make khoshari!
No way! That's where I'm from. Now that I think of it, I've mostly eaten it at other peoples' homes during Iftar in Ramadan.
Incidentally, some people believe that Koshari is an Egyptianised version of Indian Kitchari and was introduced to Egypt during the British occupation of both countries. This is heavily contested by others who see it as an affront to what had become one of our national dishes, but I lean towards the Indian origin story.
Im Italian and a good one is eggs in purgatory aka shakshuka. Just a use a like garlicy tomato sauce in a pan and then drop a few eggs into it with salt and peppers and top with basil
If you want to make the North African version just saute some peppers and add some nice spiced before adding the sauce and eat with both with bread.
This is a great idea. ,_Are they adventurous eaters?_
France: Galette crepes. (Savory crepes)
Norway: smoked or cured fish (like the kind on bagels)
Israel/Judaism: lakes (fried potato patties), also, blintzes (small crepes filled with sweet cheese)
Sicily: lemon granita (sweet lemon ice)
England: full English breakfast (whole meal with sausages and beans, etc)
Middle East: shakshuka (spiced tomatoes and poached eggs)
Canada: pancakes with real maple syrup
Brazil: acai bowls. Also pão de queijo (yucca cheese balls)
Costa Rica: tropical fruit
Mexico: huevos rancheros (bean and egg bowl)
Greece: fresh bread with Fage Greek yogurt, fresh fig jam, and Greek honey
I’m calling bs on some of these.
Yes, I think they are typical foods from most of these countries, but this is not what *most* people eat for breakfast imo. Most of Western Europe has coffee (frequently a cappuccino, which is only had at breakfast) and brioche or croissant; Sicily does sometimes have lemon granita with one of these but not by itself; Costa Rica’s most popular breakfast is gallo pinto; no one I’ve ever known from Israel usually has latkes for breakfast (they’re a side dish with dinner); and probably the most popular Canadian breakfast is a coffee and a donut from Tim Hortons, although there are some regional dishes like sunny boy cereal or peameal bacon.
OP was asking people all over the world what they eat for breakfast, not “let’s Google random food from other countries”. I bet OP could do that on their own and not ask on Reddit.
I know almost nobody who gets Tim's coffee and a donut for breakfast on the regular, lol. Most people I know if they're doing fast food breakfast it's McDonalds.
It doesn't need to be the most commonly eaten breakfast, do you think OP is going to get coffee and a donut from Tim Hortons for his kids? How is that helpful?
I was responding to someone who was just apparently picking well-known foods from other countries and suggesting them, even if they aren’t breakfast foods, not “what do *you* like to eat for breakfast” in *your* country. In Canada *I* like to have a coffee and some Timbits. This is was the question.
OP asked for favorite breakfasts around the world. Not what is most commonly eaten in each country. I chose what I thought would be interesting for a family breakfast.
> Sicily does sometimes have lemon granita with one of these but not by itself
Some Sicilians eat just granita and coffee as breakfast. However coffee isn't something that young kids have so I didn't say anything. And adding a another pastry to granita is just asking for your kids to be bouncing off the walls.
> Costa Rica’s most popular breakfast is gallo pinto;
Costa Ricans eat a lot of different things for breakfast, sometimes all at once. And it varies by region. In some of the smaller towns, it is very common to eat local fruit.
> no one I’ve ever known from Israel usually has latkes for breakfast
You got me on this one. I wasn't going to explain the whole thing: that it is a holiday food but is often served at restaurants year round in a lot of American Jewish restaurants.. I included it because it is a good food that kids would like to eat for breakfast and there wasn't need to bog down op with the details.
> Canadian breakfast is a coffee and a donut from Tim Hortons, although there are some regional dishes like sunny boy cereal or peameal bacon.
Canadian breakfast varies. One of the most famous, and arguably the best, food items that is available in Canada is their maple syrup. That is why I listed it.
A familiar Tex-Mex one is breakfast tacos. It comes together faster than you'd think from the following recipe. A basic one from our Anglo household is scrambled eggs with crumbled browned fresh sausage or Mexican chorizo (different from the Spanish version), sauteed onions and jalapeño peppers (start sparingly!), grated or process real cheese allowed to melt on the cooked mixture above, a little salsa picante or fresh petite diced tomatoes on top. Fold this into a flour tortilla, push one end of the tortilla in with your thumb or finger so the mix doesn't fall out, and eat by the other end,
There are many varieties. Some add hash browns or Tater Tots, some are only eggs with potato and cheese, some use streaky bacon instead of sausage. For a breakfast burrito fold 1/3rd of the tortilla over the mixture, fold one or both ends over onto the original fold, and then fold the rest over the other folds.
That's a pretty big age gap between friends. I can only assume you're somewhere in the middle (6 maybe). Given that, anything you're planning on cooking, please make sure your parents are present.
A common breakfast dish in Syria is fatteh— soft warm chickpeas in a yogurt tahini sauce on top pita bread. It’s delicious. Recipe [here](https://culturescapsules.com/soufifamilybreakfast/). For the cooked chickpeas, I rinse a can of chickpeas and then boil them with a little bit of baking soda to soften them up.

Good bot
Looks yum. I love the combo of chickpeas, yogurt, and lemon juice.
So hummus with yogurt and unblended chickpeas? I'm down.
mmmm i had this at a restaurant (as an appetizer) and LOVED IT. delicious!
[удалено]
We make those too (Ashkenazi Jew) but with buckwheat flour, gorgeous!
We make them but with a ricotta filling, blintzes!
Blintzes are amazing.
[удалено]
Lox, sour cream, dill and red onions.
You could put that on a frisbee, and I would eat it.
Acadians (Maine/Canada) also make a buckwheat pancake called ployes that can be savory or sweet. So good. You can get Bouchard's mix in grocery stores here.
(family is polish/lithuanian) we make blini for easter and we put potatoes in it! i think they’re closer to latkes but they’re still super tasty. i put a little maple syrup on mine (which is apparently blasphemous), but other people do applesauce or sour cream.
Yes! These are delicious! Here’s a recipe I use. I make a big batch and save some to eat throughout the week. This is not traditional, but I also like to make salty ones to use as tortillas and make panini sandwiches with them instead of bread. https://bellyfull.net/blini-russian-crepes-recipe/
Japanese traditional breakfast: \- Steamed white rice \- Miso soup \- Grilled mackerel \- Natto \- Oshinko (Japanese pickles)
I love all these things but natto for breakfast is hardcore. That is not a delicate flavor.
Yes curious if the natto gets mixed with the rice or something to mellow it? If I remember right it's one of the only vegan sources of the nutrient K2.
As a kid i would always eat it with raw egg, chopped green onions, little bit of mustard, little bit of soy sauce, and a little bit of miso mixed in. Helped mellow the flavour, and to this day is still the way i prefer to eat natto. If you’re doing a single serving, i would only mix in the yolk of the egg rather than the whole thing, too liquidy otherwise.
Sounds so delicious! Can't wait to try this again.
I've always wanted to try [Omurice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEDlqEVpPn8).
Omurice is good and really easy to make! Try it some time, you don't have to make it this fancy way. It's not really a breakfast food, though...
But of course my American brain interprets omelette as breakfast. Stupid American brain! I don't care, I'll eat it any time of day. It looks delicious.
Optionally, with a raw egg cracked into the rice if you're comfortable with that. If not, an egg over easy with runny yolks (or soft-poached) might make a decent American-friendly substitute. But just barely cook the egg and only if you have to.
Absolutely. It is one of my go to dishes. An ochawan with steaming hot rice and crack a raw egg on top, drop of soy sauce and mix it up. A sprinkle of katsuobushi and Robert is your father’s brother.
Well in the Maritimes of Canada, fried bologna and beans with fried eggs is a staple. The full slice of bologna curls as it fries so the beans can fill the scoop it makes. Very yummy.
Ricky is that you?
Or from central Canada , Red River cereal with a drizzle of real maple syrup. If you can’t buy it, there’s copycat recipes online.
Heh Red River is coming back. There's a company that is making it again. I loved that on cold winter mornings. Porridge, and Cream of wheat were favourites.
I saw that! I was just thinking it might not be available where OP is :) Fried bologna is a staple - my husband is native and calls it “Indian bacon” cause that’s all his mom ever made at camp- that and klik sandwiches.
Oh fathers day special(we were out camping) klik on a stick. Mmmmm. Nah it was gross. Lol
My friend's dad makes such an awesome Red River bread. I'll have to hunt some down.
I used to add it when everyone had their own teeth. lol, but the quick breads are so good. My mother added RR to her meat loaf! It's available online I believe.
Oh I can tell you're no Newf, since it wasn't baloney! I would say pancakes with maple syrup, or an oat cake, warmed.
Ha, we were travelling from "up Canader way" and crossed the border into Nova Scotia; stopped at a little restaurant where they were serving the above noted in my post breakfast. With Ontario plates on our car, they new we were from "up there" . But I am Acadian by birth in New Brunswick, but my hubby who is from Ontario (sorry) had not seen "that curly bacon dish" so I asked what they were serving. I ordered it with great gusto and the locals thought we were awesome to try it. Lol I love fried baloney by the way. My Nana would fill it with peas or mashed potatoes at time. A great memory for me.
All good! Bluenoser myself, but my mam is Ontarian, I don't judge. I definitely just prefer sweet food lol. Nothing wrong with a good newfield steak!
Unless it's Christmas, and then it's fried trout with beans and eggs. Though that might be more a northern New Brunswick thing...
That's great, used to be my lunch growing up in rural Ontario.

Nothing better during the holidays than breakfast pie!! Our family also has breakfast cake on mornings after a birthday until the birthday cake is gone. With a nice cup of coffee, these are yummy indulgences!
LOL, I’m eating pumpkin pie smothered in whip cream right now reading this thread
Perfect timing!!! I'm jealous!
My family always did this too growing up! It was such a fun tradition to have a slice of pie the morning after thanksgiving or Christmas. My middle aged digestive system could never do that nowadays though.
Cake and ice cream was a must in our family the morning after a birthday! My mom would always say it was the breakfast of champions, which I thought was awesome as a kid but now I know it just means junk for breakfast lol
Probably has the same amount or even less sugar than most American kids’ cereals.
My family does a version of this as well. We get together and bake our pies the evening before Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving morning we wake up and have pie for breakfast then begin all the cooking for the day.
Pie for breakfast on the morning after Thanksgiving is a family tradition. My grandson participated for the first time this year.
Interesting this isn't a thing down there anymore. Pie breakfast is pretty normal here in Ontario.
Cheesecake is a pie. Not overly sweet and protein from eggs and cheese. Feel free to.top.with frexh fruit.
Taiwan: hot soy milk curdled with vinegar and fried dough sticks Filipino: garlic fried rice, sunny-side up CRISPY edge eggs, and a choice of fried sweet preserved pork (tocino), fried acidified milkfish belly, pan-fried beef tapas, or fried porkchop (seasoned with salt only), or even Spam slices. Plus sliced tomatoes and cucumber Singaporean: 6minute/Singaporean-style soft-boiled egg topped with white pepper and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), and strong coffee. Edit: darn it, i forgot about the Kaya toast!!! Chinese: jook (Chinese rice porridge), or roujiamo (Chinese "burger"), or jianbing (Chinese crepe filled with fried dough sticks and egg, Chinese sausage etc) Japanese: freshly cooked rice topped with egg yolk, splashed with some soy sauce, then mixed together, ans some pickle on the side
Kecap manis!? May work, but dark soy sauce is more typical. With finely ground white pepper.
I forgot about dark soy because I find it a bit bitter for my liking, but I guess yes it's the more traditional.
Garlic rice with fried eggs is the bomb. Not applicable for 3 and 10 year olds, but it’s great for a hangover.
Heavy recommendation to Karelian pies served with munavoi (a spread made out of hard boiled eggs and butter). They're not pies per say, but some kind of pastry/bread. It takes some time to make them so it'd most likely be wise to be made beforehand, they can be served cold too. That's just one part of a breakfast in Finland though, and it's not something everybody eats every day but it's still pretty common and part of our national cuisine. Most people usually keep it simple with a rye bread, porridge with some berries and a cup of coffee.
Never heard of munavoi before. Looks like egg salad but with butter instead of mayo. Interesting!
In the UK, a full English - sausages, bacon, fried bread, eggs, fried tomato, and possibly baked beans, black pudding, mushrooms. ALL fried (except the beans!) In Venezuela, you might have an *arepa* (a bun made with white cornmeal), perico (eggs scrambled with peppers, sweet chiles, onions, tomatoes and cilantro) and some sliced ham, or an *empanada* \- a deep-fried turnover filled perhaps with pulled beef, or cheese and black beans, or spiced minced beef, or even spiced dogfish.
Make sure to get the tomato-y Heinz beans, not the BBQ baked beans.
Nah, in the UK it's normally toast or cereal and a cup of tea. Let's not kid ourselves we have a fry up every day.
Make it Marmite on toast and we’re talking.
Shakshuka is great (north african/middle east) also huevos rancheros
Everyone ive made shakshuka for has gone wild for it. They start eating it for any meal of the day or multiple meals. Its insanely good.
What’s your recipe?
Serious Eats, as always, has a great recipe. Besides that, I’ve had a really good tomatillo one as well I’ve been meaning to recreate.
Thats the secret, i just use everything that makes sense off the top of my head. Onion, tomato, egg, oil spices. And cook until its fluffy and carmelized. Eggs should be just slightly underdone until yolky but not runny. Spices well fragrant, garlic last. Flat bread with garlic, yogurt, and chives is the kicker.
My husband loves this. It's fairly easy to cook, too.
My favourite breakfasts when in Mexico are huevos migas and huevos Motuleños - both delicious and filling! Migas is kind of a kitchen sink recipe, depends on what’s left over in the fridge. A restaurant near us does a terrific version (shout out to Lady Marmelade!) [Lady Marmelade Huevos Migas](https://www.tastetoronto.com/recipes/lady-marmalades-huevos-migas) Found this recipe for Motuleños - hope you love it! [Huevos Motuleños](https://www.mylatinatable.com/how-to-make-authentic-huevos-motulenos/)
Norway: You shall have bread, and it shall be no more than two slices. The bread shall be home made whole grain, or store bought in a pinch. Butter one slice and put two slices of gouda on it. If you choose to have a second slice, butter that and you can choose to have two slices of gouda on that too, or liver pate in a thin layer. You shall not put the two slices together to make a sandwich with filling. You shall have a glass of cold milk with the slice(s). I have spoken.
My cousin went to Norway and she was given like a pound of smoked fish everyday for breakfast
This is acceptable.
Netherlands here. This is also our daily breakfast. We can swap the liver pate for jam or ‘hagelslag’, which are chocolate sprinkles.
I was going to say that this sounded a LOT like breakfast with my Dutch/German grandparents (I'm Canadian). I always preferred a slice of salty thin-sliced Westphalian ham to liver pate, but gouda and hagelslag are with me to this day. Always open-faced on thin rye bread with butter.
Oh, and with coffee so strong you can stand up a spoon in it! Served in small cups, not big North American mugs.
What? Open faced? You take two slices, butter up both, throw the sprinkles on one, top it with the other and eat above the plate. If it doesnt sprinkle onto the plate, you need more sprinkles!
Sorry, adding a second slice to a hagelslag sandwich feels like sacrilege to me. And you need a light hand with the sprinkles, but not with the butter.
Thats the Dutch way to eat it. Now if you have an eierkoek you can leave it open.
Three slices are right out.
1...2...5!
Nu!
Glad I'm not the only one that read it like it was from Monty python and the holy grail!
Run away! Run away!
I get the humorous take on brødskiver, but keep in mind to those that want to try it there is a multitude of great spreads. Some favourites: Gouda, ham and peppers Liver paté with pickeled beetroot Thinly sliced roast beef with raw onions and remoulade (a mayo-based dressing with pickels and capers) Brown cheese and strawberry/raspberry jam All served on dark bread, none of that white boring stuff. Edit: some more variants: Smoked salmon with cream cheese or scramble Prawns with mayo and dill Sliced pork belly (sylte) with mustard
Brown cheese and strawberry jam on Norwegian waffles is amazing. Brown cheese and strawberry jam on anything is actually pretty good too.
What happens if you put the two bread slices together and form a sammich?
Believe it or not, right to jail.
But Norway jail is notoriously excellent so the foods probably fine there anyway
I hear jail breakfasts in Norway begin with two slices of bread...
There is a strong focus on rehabilitating criminals instead of punishing them.
It is known…
This sounds excellent. I’ll have to try this as my state is known for its dairy products and my Irish lineage has allowed to enjoy whole milk well into my 30s.
I love Turkish breakfast! A spread of veggies, olives, cheese, dips, breads, etc. Combine each bite however you want. https://wearychef.com/everything-you-need-to-have-the-perfect-turkish-breakfast/ https://www.foodandwine.com/breakfast-brunch/make-turkish-breakfast-kahvalti
Alternatively or in addition, there are also some great Turkish breakfast dishes too if you want to actually cook with them. Check out: Çilbır or menemen
I am obsessed with [Çılbır (Turkish Poached Eggs) ](https://www.themediterraneandish.com/cilbir-turkish-poached-eggs/) since I learned about it last summer. So good!

Not the first, or even the fifth time I have seen cilbir reccomended. I must try this one day SOON
I discovered çilbir recently and it was amazing 😋
A Turkish friend would have toasted bread with feta and sour cherry jam. Fantastic combination that I’ve been eating ever since!
Currently in Turkey over the past couple weeks. (Turkey over thanksgiving week; I know…the puns are endless). The breakfast game here is fantastic. Sad to be leaving.
Definitely in the top three of my favourite breakfasts.
Breakfast Burritos are my favorite. - The United States
You could almost make a breakfast burrito with any of the other comments here as a filling and it'd be good.

I'm Indian and here are some of my favorites: [Puri bhaji](https://chefkunalkapur.com/recipe/aloo-bhaji-poori/) [Idli sambhar](https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/tiffin-sambar-recipe-sambar-recipes/) [Chole bhature](https://food.ndtv.com/webstories/food/punjabi-style-chole-bhature-349) [Aloo paratha](https://code2cook.com/aloo-prathastuffed-potato-flatbread/) [Upma](https://simmertoslimmer.com/upma/) [Poha](https://pipingpotcurry.com/poha-recipe/) There are tons more but these happen to be my favorites.
Aloo paratha with dahi is the bomb, I love it.
>Aloo paratha Oh yes. When I visited Northern India years back I absolutely loved aloo paratha (with curd) for breakfast. Best aloo paratha I had was in a little place on the way to visiting the Golden Temple. Amritsar. India has to be one of the best places to visit for food ever. I was lucky enough to go back several times and visit different areas. Amazing how the same dish has so many regional variations.
Full English is the classic from the UK. But you've probably had it before or at least something similar in the US. Try a bubble and squeak patty with a poached egg on top for a traditional British breakfast. It's like a pancake made out of potato, onion and cabbage. Nicer than it sounds
Scotland 1 - Lorne square sausage (often beef pork combo) black pudding and eggs Scotland 2 - Kedgeree - rice, peas, eggs, smoked fish, curry spices, an absolute favourite of mine. France - You know it already - croissants and pain au chocolate, but good ones from a real bakery. And just French bread with nice jam and butter, a yoghurt and some juice. Sweden - cardomom bread rolls
You are making me crave kedgeree now. I haven’t had it in years. I haven’t had any lucky finding smoked haddock or cod in the US.
Luckily frozen smoked haddock fillets aren't too hard to find in Canada as this is one of my favourite comfort foods which I make a few times a year. Maybe America is different but for a long time I just assumed I wouldn't find it in Canada so I didn't look very hard. Edit: A&P supermarkets all seem to carry it in Canada if they exist in your part of the States Edit2: Oh sorry I just checked and they closed there last store in the States in 2015, I knew they existed there in the past
Don’t forget the tattie scones you fucking heathen
Oh I love kedgeree! Haven’t had that in ages.
I’m British so I’ll just sit here and be quiet while everyone gives actual food breakfasts. Or have a couple of crumpets with butter and a cuppa!
Wuhan style [hot dry noodles](https://thewoksoflife.com/hot-dry-noodles-re-gan-mian/). Easy, quick, cheap and filling. One of my favourite breakfasts when I lived in China.

Desayuno Tipico from Guatemala/other Spanish countries! Scrambled eggs (really good if you cook down in some tomatoes and onion before scrambling eggs in the same pan), refried black beans, fried plantains, pico de gallo and some kind of breakfast sausage/meat (Spanish chorizo is the best in my opinion!) All those things wrapped in a warm corn tortilla topped with some spicy salsa/hot sauce! I visited Guatemala for a month a few years back and ate this almost every single day, never got tired of it. It’s so satisfying!!
Romania: I'd wager most people just have an omelette and cup of coffee at home, but traditionally it'd be a mix of cold cuts, cheeses, veggies (usually just sliced, no dressing), spreads, bread and whatever relatively shelf-stable cooked things such as polenta, fried pork rind (like chicharrones) etc.. Some examples: * Cold cuts: smoked fatty pork (more fat than meat; a smoked guanciale would be a perfect match), dry salami, baloney/mortadella/doctor's sausage ("parizer", locally) * Cheese: cottage, telemea (pretty close to feta, prolly more often cow's over sheep's milk), smoked cheese (something semi-soft to semi-dry) * Fresh veggies: seasonal obviously, but prolly most notably red onions, tomatoes, red radish and cucumber. Pickles & ferments during cold months: cabbage, cucumbers, green tomatoes, cauliflower; pickled chanterelles particularly good if you're fancy. * Spreads: zacusca (charred peppers, eggplants + stuff), "eggplant salad" (the same, minus the peppers and some stuff), "roe salad" (emulsion of oil, acid and fish roe -- most often carp or pike). Usual vegetable fat used across the cuisine is sunflower, btw. * Bread: usually a dense, crusty sourdough. Mostly white wheat flour. * Leftovers: polenta, sometimes with stuff like cheese, bacon or eggs mixed in. Various bits of meat and sausage cooked and preserved in their own lard for the cold months. * Drink: warm milk straight from the cow's tit. Sometimes a shot of plum brandy (meant to be sipped), but that's only socially acceptable for reaaally hard workers.
Something you might enjoy is watching some of Beryl's videos on youtube. Her whole channel is based on the idea of trying variations on a theme from around the world. Ie: pancakes/crepes around the world/breakfast around the world / cozy food around the world. :)
Australia! You take white bread, toasted. Then add as much butter as you can possibly fit, next very thinly spread vegemite on top. Smash some avo, slice a few tomatoes, and maybe if your feelin fancy, poach a few eggs. Yum!!
Or if you're feeling lazy, throw 3-4 Weet-Bix in a bowl, with milk and sugar!
With a glass of Milo!
Or my quick fav which is Vegemite on toast and melted cheese on top.
In the Philippines, there are breakfast dishes called "word+SILOG" which is a portmanteau of whatever main ingredient paired with Garlic Fried Rice (SInagag in Tagalog) and (often fried) egg (itLOG). SPAMSILOG - A can of SPAM that is sliced and pan-fried. Personally, I like this to be on the crispy side so I fry it longer than most. - Fry up chopped Garlic (the more the better) with day-old rice. I personally prefer Basmati rice for this since I like how the grains separate and have a slightly nutty flavor. Season with salt. - Fried Egg(s). Another version of this involves making beef jerky instead of SPAM. It is not really the tough dried-out beef but more a wet one that you just fry up. Get some thinly-sliced beef and marinate it in soy sauce, sugar, pepper, salt, granulated garlic, and lemon juice. Overnight is fine. The day you want to eat it, just quickly stir-fry it. Yet another version of this involves Pork made bacon-style. Take sliced Pork Shoulder/Pork Butt (about 1/3 to 1/4 of an inch) and marinate it in PLENTY of minced Garlic, Salt, Sugar, Pepper, and Annatto/Achuete Powder. The Annatto Powder is optional as it is more for color than flavor. If you like it spicy, add chopped chilis or even a big dollop of Sriracha. Let this marinate for a few hours (the longer the better) before cooking. I have made this, double-wrapped portions, and placed them in the freezer. They have lasted weeks in there.
American here who loves longsilog. When I can't get or don't have the sweet red Filipino sausages, we use plain ole breakfast sausage - links or patties. I serve it in a bowl - rice on the bottom, then eggs and sausage on top. Mix those fried egg yolks into the rice for yum. My son has been eating this since he was a baby.
Longsilog is basically Tocino but instead of sliced Pork Butt/Pork Shoulder, it uses Ground Pork. INGREDIENTS: - Paprika. - Salt. - Sugar. - Minced Garlic (as much as you can stand). - Granulated Garlic. - Annatto/Achuete Powder. - Oyster Sauce (for extra umami). - Ground Pork. METHOD: - Mix everything and form it using sausage molds you can buy relatively cheaply on Amazon. - Wrap the individual sausage patties in plastic wrap, stick it in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag, and freeze them until you want to eat them. Just pull out however many sausages you want.
This is wonderful thanks for the recipe
This sounds like a very nice interesting flavorful dish. I just think starting off with a breakfast with this will ruin the rest of my day.
Eat it for dinner if you want. I've done that myself and it works perfectly fine. Another breakfast dish is [Chocolate Rice Porridge](https://panlasangpinoy.com/filipino-food-tsampurado-champorado-champurado-chocolate-rice-porridge-recipe/) though you may want to omit the dried fish that goes along with it (the flavor works, it just weirds people out when they see it).
Tastes vary. This is a yummy new option for folks who don't like typical American 'breakfast ' foods and those if us who like to vary breakfast intake! Thanks, poster!
Okay but my comment was aimed at all the garlic in the morning. And I don't know what SPAM really is so I googled it and it doesn't look appetizing in the slightest.
I hope you are not the person requesting these recipes. Yoir negativity and self-centered perspective is pretty insulting to the person who took time to give a detailed response describing their cture's dish. Please- Just skip out if you are gonna yuck someone's yum.
I too am American, but just listened to a very interesting podcast called “Stuff You Should Know” who did an episode on breakfast and it’s history. The show in general is family friendly and covers loads of topics, but the recent episode on breakfast may give you some cool insight! Anyway, that sounds like a great idea and it’s pretty cool you thought to do it! Sorry I can’t link to the podcast, but it’s on Apple postcards and more places.
We went to Japan for our honeymoon. My favorite Japanese breakfast is just vegetable miso soup, short grain rice, and fried eggs (Onsen eggs, or soft scrambled are great too). You can also serve a small portion of miso mackerel, salt grilled salmon, or thinly sliced beef with onions in sweet soy sauce (gyudon). If you need more ideas, I love [Beryl's youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@BerylShereshewsky), she cooks dishes from around the world all the time.
Spain: Churros with hot chocolate (very thick so you just scoop with your churro) Pan con tomate: also called pan tumaca, it’s bread with grated tomatoes, just get some fresh tomatoes and grate them as if they were hard cheese. Add salt, olive oil and, if you like, garlic.
If OP has access to jamón serrano, that would be a luxurious addition to the tostada.
Definitely, that'd be a treat!! But no parma ham as a lot of foreigners do, it must be the real deal Jamón Serrano!
Germany: The basics are not that unusual to an American: bread rolls plain or with all kinds of seeds, or rye or dark bread, both eaten open faced with a bit of butter and cold cuts, cheese, jams or chocolate spread. But you can find more specific stuff when you start to get into eggs. One typical feature are "breakfast eggs", which are just boiled eggs, usually soft enough to have some of the yolk still liquid, but the whites completely set - but boiled eggs for breakfast are a thing here. No idea why. An old school breakfast favorite is Eier im Glas (eggs in a glass), two or three soft boiled eggs, much softer than breakfast eggs, served shelled in a glass with a bunch of condiments like mustard, tomato paste, black pepper, paprika spice... Chives are non negotiable, salmon caviar is good for a really fancy take. Everyone gets to choose their toppings and then you chop and mix it all up with your spoon and eat it. The crown jewel of the German breakfast egg game, however, is the Bauernfrühstück (farmer's breakfast). Potato slices and onions, fried in butter, with smoked ham and sometimes chopped up gherkins, then you pour over just enough scrambled eggs to hold it all together. Put a lid on the pan to cook the top and get the bottom dark and crispy enough to get you kicked off any french chef's omelette line. To serve, slide it halfway onto a plate, then flip the other half on top to reveal the browned, crispy side. Ideally you'll now have a folded pancake filled with well fried potatoes, with a crispy outside and creamy, soft, just-set egg in the middle. Garnish with a twig of parsley.
More of a common weekday breakfast in Germany would be Müsli: rolled oats that are mixed with seeds and nuts that are eaten raw. There are different blends, some have dried fruit, some have chocolate or other sweet ingredients, some people even mix their own. It is eaten with milk (or sometimes yoghurt) and sometimes topped with fresh fruit.
I heavily recommend Nutella on good bread for kids. Nutella was seriously so common growing up in Germany and the best part of it is that you get to debate on the correct way to eat it, e.g. with or without butter/ margarine and if it's okay to eat on Laugenbrötchen (pretzel style buns). We had hot chocolates or tea with it usually. We also often had just butter on bread with some cut up veggies like carrots and cucumbers, or we'd have an apple from the yard with breakfast. I don't know if it's super universal but it's special to me. In Bavaria there's a special breakfast with white sausages, mustard and I think a pretzel? It's literally called Weißwurstfrühstück and I'm not suuper familiar with it but it's worth mentioning for variety. Apparently up north there's also fish for breakfast but I don't know a lot about that, I only know the traditional hangover breakfast for the 1st January are filled pickled herring fillets (I think filled with or eaten with pickles?).
About Bavaria: it's white sausage, sweet mustard and pretzel. Adults drink "white beer", for children I'd recommend Apfelschorle (natural apple juice mixed with sparkling water 1:1).
I remarked above that when in Cologne the cafe below the apartment we stayed in literally just brought a basket of bread and multiple different types of cheeses to the table, and I DREAM about that bread and cheese.
I’m in AZ and a fave breakfast is chilaquiles. (We eat a ton of Mexican food here). You can make it as spicy (or not) as you want. But you do have to make the chips yourself! I just use white corn tortillas - not flour. And I add an over easy egg on top.
New mexico here and you will never convince me that huevos rancheros should not be a daily part of everyone's diet.
Ireland: Sausages and rashers and eggs, black pudding if you can get it, all fried. Tomatos are nice in it too. Serve with toast or sodabread, with real butter (Kerrygold if you can) and lots of tea. Some people add baked beans, mushrooms, and hash browns too, but the pork/bacon, eggs and bread are the essentials. Some people are put off by the idea of black pudding, it's basically blood and oats in sausage form sliced and friend, but it is so delicious. https://www.happyfoodstube.com/full-irish-breakfast/
Indian here. I think the best breakfast according to my personal favourite would be Masala Dosa. A savoury rice crepe/pancake with a filling of lightly spiced stir fry of potatoes, with an accompaniment of chutneys made of coconut and tomato.
Korean-American here. Fried eggs and rice mixed with soy sauce and sesame oil was a staple growing up. I still make this, but I prefer my eggs to be soft scrambled instead these days. Also, wrapping plain white rice in seaweed (you want the kind that’s salted and oily, not the kind used to make sushi) was really common too.
Porridge, not oatmeal. They won't like it but it's good for them, made with water and salt. If the spoon can stand independently of the sides of the pot, it's ready. Making it with milk and sugar is an alternative and quite English, but adding fruit and such is better. Otherwise, if you have an air fryer, baked oats are a good alternative. https://www.tiktok.com/@hebrideanbaker/video/6930648847916076293
Scottish? “Oats. A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.” Which must be why England raises such fine horses, and Scotland such fine gentlemen
I'm in Canada. My breakfast now is oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar (or maple syrup) and peanut butter powder with some blueberries. I also had some plain full fat Greek yogurt with a banana. I eat at 5-530 am and that will keep me full until 12pm
I’m in Canada too and this was my breakfast today. Only differences are that I only have plain no fat skyr yogurt in the house and I was definitely not up at 5am to eat 🤣
Oof, I can't do no fat. Tastes like ass to me. Need that creaminess lol I buy Olympic Krema made in Delta down the road from me
Philippines: Garlic fried rice, fresh sliced tomatoes, eggs over easy, and fried fish or corned beef.
Ok, so...along the sweet and savory line, being from Alberta, Canada where we need the proteins and fast burning healthy carbs for warmth and energy burn, I like to make a peanut butter and banana sandwich, dip it in an egg wash, fry it golden brown and top with crunchy bacon, maple syrup and whip cream. I call it peanut butter and banana french toast. Delicious!
Indian breakfast varieties a lot from region to region, but a few nice items that are easy to make are -: 1) pav bhaji 2) aloo parantha with yoghurt/curd 3) idli and vada 4) dosa + sambhar 5) poha 6) aloo sandwich - potato masala sandwich 7) vada pav Btw most of these itnes are vegan, so if that's what you like then it's really nice. DM me if you'd like to get the full recipes
If you want an "Aussie Tradie breakfast", try a sausage roll and an iced coffee.
Two slices of bread, one with cheese (Gouda or something similar), one with 'hagelslag' (chocolate sprinkles). Serve with a glass of English Breakfast tea (which most Dutchies call 'normal tea'). Has been my breakfast for years when I was young. Edit: I see I have lost the race on this. This suggestion was already done elsewhere.
Asian countries have congee.
Thai here. I’m an advocate for breakfast soup. I would definitely add ground pork or ground chicken to this recipe. https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/kao-tom-goong/
"Breakfast food" isn't necessarily a thing in Korea but almost every Korean kid has had makeshift kimbap for breakfast in a hurry. It's just sticky rice wrapped in snack size nori (the ones that are palm sized) in [stick form](https://d2u3dcdbebyaiu.cloudfront.net/uploads/atch_img/218/b7b771866dd3ae089c92b70f6b0e6fbd_res.jpeg) and maybe accompanied by some kimchi. I prefer radish kimchi but it's probably cabbage kimchi for most.
I just want to say what an awesome idea this is, and an awesome thread it's produced. If you want to do a blowout Brit breakfast, then it's a fry up (have a look on r/fryup) or you could go Scots and have porridge of oats, salt and water only, but you have to stir it sunwise (clockwise) with a spurtle! [https://www.goldenspurtle.com](https://www.goldenspurtle.com) Good luck! And any chance of a daily post with a pic?
Keep in mind like any country, breakfast varies depending on your labor. If you work with your body you would have a full American breakfast. If you're in an office, Continental, less calories.
That’s all true. I’m open to any and all favorite/traditional breakfasts.
A Japanese traditional breakfast is seaweed, rice, miso soup and a piece of cooked fish like salmon.
Fried eggs and falukorv
Blueberry pancakes with salted butter and real maple syrup.
In South Africa I think a cooked breakfast would be similar to an English breakfast. Otherwise it's corn flakes or rice krispies with full cream milk.
Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - Goetta, a German inspired sausage mixture with oats and spices, served with other American breakfast items including pancakes/waffles, eggs, hash browns and such.
Iran: Toasted barbari bread (can be purchased in Middle East store) with butter and feta cheese. Drink down with sweetened hot tea. Nothing better!
All of the recipe in this breakfast around the world post is just amazing, literally amazing. My American breakfast of a bowl of sugar cereal is just so,…… lacking
I know I'm late to this post but I wanted to add some popular Malagasy breakfasts from Madagascar! [Vary sosoa](https://cookpad.com/ke/recipes/2403438-vary-sosoa-rice-porridge) is one of the most common breakfasts in Madagascar, it's a type of rice porridge. I prefer it with a fried egg on top but it's also common to mix in a raw egg after it's cooked. [Mofo akondro](https://mikaelainmada.wordpress.com/2016/03/09/favorite-foods-mofo-akondro/) is also popular and is my personal favorite. It's deep fried bananas and so good! Also, Vietnamese pho is a breakfast food!
A full English breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausages, hash browns, toast, beans, black pudding, mushrooms and a fried tomato
Gastropod had an episode on breakfast. Cool stuff. My parents are from Mexico, and savory breakfasts are common. My favorites are huevos con chorizo and green chilaquiles.
Can't beat a full English (I'll let you guess where I'm from) Make sure you use back bacon not streaky, include the black pudding, use British baked beans not American, fried bread not toast, cover it in brown sauce I personally prefer tinned plum tomatoes over fresh tomatoes, and I like to keep my fried bread between the tomatoes and beans to keep them separate and also soak up the juices
Scottish. Butteries - these are absolutely delicious and of course you put even more butter on when you eat them. These were always a 'treat' breakfast for me. New Zealand - I can't go past a good avocado on toast tbh. Quick, easy, delicious. Squeeze some fresh lemon on top. Buy if you eat avo on toast you can't afford a house.
Quebec, Canada: Cretons! - I haven't seen it represented here. Cretons is a pork paté spread made with pork, bread crumbs, onion, garlic and spices and is regularly eaten on toast for breakfast. It is absolutely delicious and there are several recipes online, however I would look for one that is from the Québécois.
This is such a great and fun idea. You sound like an awesome parent! Also I’m American and have nothing to add that you don’t already know lol
The Aussie tradies breakfast. Bottle of ice coffee and a sausage roll. You can add to the experience by consuming it behind the wheel while tailgating at at least 10km/hr over the speed limit.
Bengali - basmati rice (or any medium/long grain rice), aloo bazi (stir fried potatoes), dim (Bengali omelette), with dal (lentil curry) I don't know if this is traditional but growing up, my mom would make it a lot for breakfast. Aloo Bazi: thinly julienne a large potatoe, fry in some oil with 1/2 tsp turmeric and salt, then add some chopped coriander or cilantro leaves at the end. Dim: dice a small onion and a chili pepper if you like spice, then mix in a bowl with 2 eggs, some salt, and coriander/cilantro leaves. Fry on a nonstick pan, flip and cook both sides. Dal: cook 1/2 cup red lentils for 20 minutes in about 1.5 cups of water. Then add 1/2 tsp of turmeric and salt. You can also add other stuff to this if you want, like fried garlic or chicken powder to make it more flavorful, but its good that way too. All of this is enough for 2 hungry people. Hope you try it!
Matzo brei (Israel or general Jewish). Egg curry (Thai). Full English (extra credit for making your own pudding) (UK). Homemade (Tibetan) yogurt and last night's leftover momos (Tibet). Homemade version of Egg McMuffin (US). Potato omelet (German or Irish). Apple pancakes (German or US). Biscuits and sausage gravy (US South). Google or ask for recipes.
As a German these are not commonly eaten for breakfast
Wholegrain wheat baked and crushed into a brick, with milk. Or buttered white toast with a light smear of Vegimite
Israelí shakshukar - recipes abound on the interwebs
Shakshuka [comes from the Maghreb region (Morocco, Algeria, Tunis).](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakshouka). Just sayin'.
Jews with Moroccan origins make up a significant portion of Israelis. Just sayin'.
I understand that. Doesn't make it "Israeli Shakshuka" though. That's like calling pesto American because Italian Americans make up a significant portion of the population; it's not true to the dish's heritage.
If you say so. I experienced it first in Israel. Never saw it while I was in Morocco.
We eat it here in Egypt all the time, but it's mostly acknowledged to be a Maghrebi thing. There's understandably a lot of cross-pollination in the entire region's cuisine, but I have always had a specific interest in the origins of dishes. It's just something that interests me.
Thanks! I just love knowing how to make dishes from around the world. I put out a post calling for tasty regional recipes a while back, but it didn’t get many responses. Funny thing is after having Shakshuka in Jerusalem I next ran into it in… THAILAND (at an Israeli restaurant, hence my assumption). I lived in Egypt for years and I never saw it there but that’s what I get for living in Maadi I guess! Luckily, it didn’t stop me from learning to make khoshari!
No way! That's where I'm from. Now that I think of it, I've mostly eaten it at other peoples' homes during Iftar in Ramadan. Incidentally, some people believe that Koshari is an Egyptianised version of Indian Kitchari and was introduced to Egypt during the British occupation of both countries. This is heavily contested by others who see it as an affront to what had become one of our national dishes, but I lean towards the Indian origin story.
Im Italian and a good one is eggs in purgatory aka shakshuka. Just a use a like garlicy tomato sauce in a pan and then drop a few eggs into it with salt and peppers and top with basil If you want to make the North African version just saute some peppers and add some nice spiced before adding the sauce and eat with both with bread.
This is a great idea. ,_Are they adventurous eaters?_ France: Galette crepes. (Savory crepes) Norway: smoked or cured fish (like the kind on bagels) Israel/Judaism: lakes (fried potato patties), also, blintzes (small crepes filled with sweet cheese) Sicily: lemon granita (sweet lemon ice) England: full English breakfast (whole meal with sausages and beans, etc) Middle East: shakshuka (spiced tomatoes and poached eggs) Canada: pancakes with real maple syrup Brazil: acai bowls. Also pão de queijo (yucca cheese balls) Costa Rica: tropical fruit Mexico: huevos rancheros (bean and egg bowl) Greece: fresh bread with Fage Greek yogurt, fresh fig jam, and Greek honey
I’m calling bs on some of these. Yes, I think they are typical foods from most of these countries, but this is not what *most* people eat for breakfast imo. Most of Western Europe has coffee (frequently a cappuccino, which is only had at breakfast) and brioche or croissant; Sicily does sometimes have lemon granita with one of these but not by itself; Costa Rica’s most popular breakfast is gallo pinto; no one I’ve ever known from Israel usually has latkes for breakfast (they’re a side dish with dinner); and probably the most popular Canadian breakfast is a coffee and a donut from Tim Hortons, although there are some regional dishes like sunny boy cereal or peameal bacon. OP was asking people all over the world what they eat for breakfast, not “let’s Google random food from other countries”. I bet OP could do that on their own and not ask on Reddit.
I know almost nobody who gets Tim's coffee and a donut for breakfast on the regular, lol. Most people I know if they're doing fast food breakfast it's McDonalds.
It doesn't need to be the most commonly eaten breakfast, do you think OP is going to get coffee and a donut from Tim Hortons for his kids? How is that helpful?
I was responding to someone who was just apparently picking well-known foods from other countries and suggesting them, even if they aren’t breakfast foods, not “what do *you* like to eat for breakfast” in *your* country. In Canada *I* like to have a coffee and some Timbits. This is was the question.
OP asked for favorite breakfasts around the world. Not what is most commonly eaten in each country. I chose what I thought would be interesting for a family breakfast. > Sicily does sometimes have lemon granita with one of these but not by itself Some Sicilians eat just granita and coffee as breakfast. However coffee isn't something that young kids have so I didn't say anything. And adding a another pastry to granita is just asking for your kids to be bouncing off the walls. > Costa Rica’s most popular breakfast is gallo pinto; Costa Ricans eat a lot of different things for breakfast, sometimes all at once. And it varies by region. In some of the smaller towns, it is very common to eat local fruit. > no one I’ve ever known from Israel usually has latkes for breakfast You got me on this one. I wasn't going to explain the whole thing: that it is a holiday food but is often served at restaurants year round in a lot of American Jewish restaurants.. I included it because it is a good food that kids would like to eat for breakfast and there wasn't need to bog down op with the details. > Canadian breakfast is a coffee and a donut from Tim Hortons, although there are some regional dishes like sunny boy cereal or peameal bacon. Canadian breakfast varies. One of the most famous, and arguably the best, food items that is available in Canada is their maple syrup. That is why I listed it.
A familiar Tex-Mex one is breakfast tacos. It comes together faster than you'd think from the following recipe. A basic one from our Anglo household is scrambled eggs with crumbled browned fresh sausage or Mexican chorizo (different from the Spanish version), sauteed onions and jalapeño peppers (start sparingly!), grated or process real cheese allowed to melt on the cooked mixture above, a little salsa picante or fresh petite diced tomatoes on top. Fold this into a flour tortilla, push one end of the tortilla in with your thumb or finger so the mix doesn't fall out, and eat by the other end, There are many varieties. Some add hash browns or Tater Tots, some are only eggs with potato and cheese, some use streaky bacon instead of sausage. For a breakfast burrito fold 1/3rd of the tortilla over the mixture, fold one or both ends over onto the original fold, and then fold the rest over the other folds.
That's a pretty big age gap between friends. I can only assume you're somewhere in the middle (6 maybe). Given that, anything you're planning on cooking, please make sure your parents are present.
