Weird Breakfast eating.

Great post...and yes fish is off the breakfast menu...I go for cold pizza or iced coffee

Leftover baked beans and macaroni salad, mixed together.

Of course, cold pizza, but no beer. But today I had last night's chili. Also I like to eat spaghetti with pesto sauce when the basil has been picked. Husband Jim says he liked cold potatoes with chocolate pudding before school when he was "on the farm".

When I was a kid I always ate a hot breakfast. I have drank coffee since I was 2 or younger. My Daddy would cook up bacon before he left for work so then all Mom had to do is cook eggs or I'd cooked them. To this day I love breakfast. It's best at 2:30am after a night of heavy drinking.LOL I think that may be a Wi thing. Coffee in the morning to me is next to god. I had the best coffee this morning from Kwickie mart after I drop Sailor off at the vet. Who would think Kwick Trip would have great coffee and the coffee bar was to die for!

What weird things have you eaten for breakfast?

It's funny you ask. As I was eating my chips and hot salsa this morning I was wondering who made the rule that cereal or eggs are what we eat for breakfast. Probably the most nontraditional breakfast I've eaten is a taco salad.

Cold spaghetti is awesome, actually many Italians foods are a great way to start off the day!

My breakfast story: (have I shared this once already?) Mom always made Oatmeal and we doctored it with sugar and milk. Story: Babysitter keeps us over 3 day parent get away. She sits the oatmeal on the table and I add my milk and sugar. One bite; it is not edible. I whisper to my older brother, "I can't eat this." He kicks me kinda hard and meaningful and says, under his breath, "eat it." So I somehow choke it down. We go upstairs to brush our teeth and get ready to go on to school. Well, I lose my stomach. "Oh gosh," says the suddenly compassionate brother, "you're sick, you better stay home." "No way," I retort, "then I'd have to eat her lunch too.!"

Afterwards when Mom got home and I got to be all "whoa was me" about it, she explained that the lady probably used butter and salt on the oatmeal and then I had added milk and sugar. Well, for pete sake!! That was my strangest breakfast.

For me it's coffee, freshly made every morning. Sometimes I grind it , sometimes I use pre ground columbian. And 2 teaspoons of sugar for a good size thick walled cup that keeps it good and hot!

Sometimes I dream about my coffee and that is what gets me up!

My one daughter was a very difficult one for breakfast. She was skinny, and really small, so I worried about her not eating enough. I gave up trying to feed her bread or bagels or cereal because she would just stare at all of those and it would be time to catch the school bus! One day, I got fed up and said," how about a hot dog?". Now, I am no fan of hot dogs but I made her one (no bread with it), and that's what she had. So that was breakfast for her two or three times a week. She didn't like sausage then, so I thought it is no different than a hot dog, is it? Then other days, it was chicken noodle soup, which worked okay. Better than nothing.

Now, as an adult, she still isn't a breakfast person, but when she does eat breakfast, it is oatmeal, granola cereal or wholewheat bagel! Times have changed, or what?

One thing I can never eat for breakfast is fish.

Well, I hope I don't gross you out Vlad's Dog, but on the mornings that I don't have oatmeal, or a bagel & cream cheese it's a banana and a tin of King Oscar sardines in olive oil. And that's every other morning!

Except for Sunday. That's sausage, mushroom, onion and cheese omlete with an English muffin with orange marmalade day!

My husband tells me he's never seen anyone eat "odd" breakfasts the way I do.

I just get tired of cereal, and as much as I love eggs, I don't want to have them every morning. So, if there are leftovers from the prior evening's dinner or from a dinner out, I'm liable to have those (tamales are actually good for breakfast). Or, I'll make a sandwich - usually deli ham on rye. I've also been known to pop open a can of soup or nuke a frozen meal.

I do have to admit that "morning" for me is now somewhere around 10:00 or so (I'm usually up until 1:00 or later), and since I don't like to eat as soon as I get up, it's usually almost time for lunch by the time I have breakfast.

Not weird. Not even uncommon.

But I do remember a particular morning in Bremerton Washington in 1979. The party had been one of our usual Navy flings. A keg had been killed and probably a few ounces of weed. I remember waking up on the floor, reaching up to grab a beer can. I shook it--not just to see if there was beer in it, but to test for that ominous little clunk that revealed a cigarette butt. Nope. Seemed good. Took a nice long swig and emptied it, and saw there was still a slice of pizza poking from beneath the torn lid of the box not two feet from me. Yum.

Now that was breakfast.

I used to go to Taco Bell and get a dozen bean burritos. I'd put them in the frig, and nuke a pair every day for breakfast.

Several years ago, my Nephew asked me, "Uncle, what's the best part about being an adult?" My answer, after some thought, was, "I'd have to say the best part is being able to eat waffles for lunch, and pizza for breakfast."

Guess I'm strange! My breakfast EVERY day is a Bagel with Cream cheese, Coffee, and a Banana, at least for the last 4 years or so. I often eat Oatmeal or Cream of Wheat, or Cream of Rice for supper, also bacon and eggs with French Toast or Pancakes. Oh Well! LOL :-)

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but sometimes, just sometimes, I sneak into the kitchen, looking all over the place, making sure I'm not seen, and fix waffles for...breakfast! And I use, shudder, a glass of milk as a chaser!

I ate cold cereal for breakfast, everyday as a kid.

I ate bologna sandwiches for lunch, not every day, but for many lunches.

And, my mother fixed a lot of dishes with hotdogs, I guess we didn't have a lot of money when I grew up, although I didn't know it.

Now, I don't eat cereal and can't stomach bologna or hotdogs, gak!

Weirdest breakfast food - popcorn?

Time for my breakfast. I'm thinking about that last pork chop, but will rinse off the saurkraut first. Wish I had a little apple sauce; I'll just sauté a sliced apple.

Depending on the time we are hungry in the morning determines if it's going to be breakfast or brunch. Can't say I've eaten anything wierder than pizza for breakfast lol. Good article Vlad.

Haggis, pork pie, and tea.

I don't drink coffee any more. I was having peptic ulcer flareups and coffee stimulates stomach acid. I was drinking like a pot a day. I'm not one to pop pills if I can "fix" the problem. Well, the flareups subsided. Tea is good if it is "bracing." I still have an espresso occasionally if I'm out and about.

My favorite "non-traditional" breakfasts are : Cherry pie, leftover NYCheesecake W/ cherries or strawberries. During the summer, peaches, nectarines, strawberries, cantaloup.

Pork loin and eggs, especially if it's peameal bacon.

Of course whatever leftover there is, pizza, chicken, pierogies, I'm not fussy.

Love fried kielbasa sandwiches or with eggs.

Never been that big a fan of regular bacon unless it's in chunks or very thick.

Hi Vlad, interesting article as always.

To answer your question..........hmmm never was much of a breakfast eater myself, esp in my earlier days. Now I can't ge by without it. So we usually have blueberry shakes with whey powder protein..............yummy yummy yummy, love in our tummies!!
