Food Tilted Breakfast Foods

i ahve to agree. theres pretty much nothing that i wont eat for breakfast.

 

What is the oddest thing you have ever consumed or seen consumed for breakfast?
Nothing really from my neighbors, but We do liver really close to a Denny's. Yuck.

What's the oddest thing you have ever consumed or seen consumed for breakfast?
I don't discriminate against foods at any meal. I'll eat whatever for breakfast.
Cold pizza, leftovers, thai chicken knishes... you name it.

Are there certain odors that you're opposed to smelling early in the morning?
Nope.

What is your favorite tilted breakfast food?
I don't like traditional breakfast foods much. I'll eat eggs on occasion. Pancakes or waffles rarely.
Hollandaise makes benedicts inedible to me. I like to have scrambled egg whites sometimes with a few hash browned potato pieces, a bowl of fruit, and a piece of rye toast with
strawberry jam. And cheese grits.
Okay, cheese grits are my favorite tilted breakfast food.

 

Aside from those things mentioned in the bagel thread...

Cold Chinese food HAS to be my favorite breakfast food that's a bit out of the ordinary. I'm also a big cold pizza aficionado UNLESS the cheese is hard, at which point I will nuke it just long enough to make it floppy. A full blown toaster oven style reheat is preposterous and unacceptable.

I will say that the breakfast I WISH I could have every day would be a combination of Vietnamese pho and banh mi, pho being a noodle-based soup laden with various meats, basil, mint, lime, bean sprouts, and other goodies, and banh mi being a sandwich that can have just about anything under the sun on it, but preferably the pork variety. I don't know what else Vietnam does well, but watching Anthony Bourdain eat breakfast over there instantly made me fall in love with those dishes. Screw the scrambled eggs and pancake shit we do over here, I want a man's breakfast.

As far as certain odors go, yes, I smell plenty of those first thing in the morning, but they're usually emanating from me and have little to do with breakfast. Well, maybe from the day before.

 

I'm much the same, I'll eat just about anything for breakfast. Asian foods just seem to be better though.

When I'm hungover then I do the traditional english breakfast complete with baked beans and fried bread. Yummy.

 

Do you ever smell strange things being prepared by your neighbors at breakfast-time?
Not anymore, but I've lived in a few apartments in my life, and there have been times I've smelled really unexpected things. When my family lived in the Midwest, it was not uncommon for us to smell bourbon cornbread in the morning, heavy on the bourbon, from the neighbors upstairs and across the hall. The mom living there was like someone had distilled every cliche about the South into one human receptacle, she was, shall we say, portly, boisterous but kind, friendly to a fault, but bitterly racist. And god could she cook. I think she was the person who introduced me to the concept of Southern cooking, years before Alton Brown was on TV. But yeah, she made bourbon cornbread often, and the entire apartment building smelled like bourbon for a few hours. You know there's a lot of alcohol when you're getting a contact buzz.


What is the oddest thing you have ever consumed or seen consumed for breakfast?
A high school girlfriend's family had a dish made with fish and eggs in the morning. She was first generation American and her parents were from a small village in the Philippines. I normally love Filipino cuisine, but like GG, fish for breakfast (other than smoked salmon, of course) just doesn't work with my concept of the meal.


Are there certain odors that you're opposed to smelling early in the morning?
I used to hate the smell of coffee in the morning, particularly used grinds, now I love coffee in the morning. I'm not wild about the smell of raw meat in the morning. I can't stand morning breath.


What is your favorite tilted breakfast food?
Up until recently, I probably would have said pancetta, but now I absolutely have to say crepes with raspberry sauce. I had my first crepe about two months ago and it was eggy and flat and delicious... and perfect with fruit. I've since had them with apricots, strawberries, pears, apples, and pineapples, but raspberries are, imho, the perfect fruit to go with crepes. I use Alton Brown's crepe recipe, because it's insanely simple.

 

Just curious, how were you having your pancetta? With eggs or some other main dish?
I like the smell and taste but it is so potent I am usually using it to flavor or enhance other things.

 

I had it mostly with eggs and toast. It's strong stuff, but I like certain strong flavors in the morning. I like to have it on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Not by the neighbors, but waking to the smell of "dinner" foods at breakfast kind of turns my stomach. We're an avid Crock Pot household, and the aroma of chicken tortilla soup permeating the house first thing in the morning is not my ideal for food to smell when I'm waking up.

What is the oddest thing you have ever consumed or seen consumed for breakfast?
I'm boring and conventional when it comes to breakfast. I've probably eaten a tuna carpaccio with quail egg in a fancy restaurant for breakfast at some point, but it's obviously not stuck with me. Given the choice, I don't do non-breakfast food for breakfast (although, Baraka_Guru, pad thai for breakfast sounds delicious).

What is your favorite tilted breakfast food?
My first choice is eggs, eggs and more eggs, preferably accompanied by bread (toast or biscuits) and meat (breakfast sausage). Cheese is a must have if this concoction becomes a sandwich.

Pancakes and French Toast are other favorites. I like my pancakes small, light and fluffy, and I take both with syrup and butter—no powdered sugar or fruit.

Barring the previous two, I'll happily devour a sesame bagel with cream cheese (plain or strawberry).

Also, I can eat me a ton of croissants.

Goddamn, I love breakfast food.

...
Maybe I should go eat some lunch now.

 

Scotch eggs rock for breakfast!

 

I like cold, leftover pizza for breakfast.

 

Eggs+ Salsa= morning goodness

 

I just indulged. Cold breakfast pizza is far superior to hot dinner pizza. I'm really not averse to leftover anything for breakfast - Chinese, Italian, Mexican - I've eaten it all in the a.m.

I actually prefer some protein in the morning. My favorite is eggs and bacon, but I've been known to make a tuna or turkey sandwich in the morning. I LOVE French toast, but I need some bacon or ham to go with it, I can't eat it alone. I also love oatmeal.

I used to have neighbors that would cook stuff that would permeate the entire building, but I don't recall if it ever happened at breakfast. I worked late - between midnight and 2 am - so I wasn't usually awake during typical breakfast hours. If an odor is going to turn my stomach, it's going to turn my stomach regardless of when I smell it.

 

Love it.
What kind of steak did you have?
