Food Tilted Breakfast Foods

I usually like eggs. Scrambled, unless in a breakfast sandwich, in which case over medium. Lately, I've become somewhat addicted to having grits with the eggs; preferably creamy grits with pepper and a little well-aged white cheddar.

I also make a traditional sweet-and-savory style of porridge, using steel-cut oatmeal, milk, butter, salt, pepper, spices, brown sugar, chopped dried fruit, and vegetarian sausage and bacon. Good stuff, especially on a cold winter morning.

That said, I can and will eat anything handy for breakfast. I have been known to have a cheese plate, complete with fresh apple, cornichons, and fruit chutney. Or a roast beef sandwich. Or leftovers of whatever.

Nonetheless, there are some things I just can't deal with. Never had much truck with fish at breakfast. Never liked lox or smoked fish, kippers or herring of any kind. I knew a Danish guy in college who liked raw herring with raw onion for breakfast (or as a snack, or any time, really)...hard to take first thing in the AM....

 

OMG, yes! My favorite diner in Santa Monica makes this dish called "Edwin's Pasta:" farfalle, veg sausage and veg bacon, onion, garlic, parm, mixed in with egg and tossed in a pan. It's like breakfasting on divine orgasms.

 

My grandma used to make scrambled eggs with fish roe ( fish eggs ). Delicious. Eat that with some creamy grits and toast, and you're ready for a day or hard labor. Or to go back to bed and sleep some more.

My favorite to make is scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese grits.

 

My favorite breakfast is cold pepperoni pizza, which may or may not count as unusual.

Probly the most unusual breakfast food I've had (and which I need to tinker with now that this post has made me dredge it up from the bowels of my memory) is an Orange juice omelet I made sometime in the mid '80s.

Invasive scent only works when folks are close together (or when the neighbors are having Durian on the back patio, something I am happy to say I have no direct experience of.)

 

Scrambled eggs with corned beef and mozzerella cheese mixed in. With buttered rye toast or an english muffin and orange juice. Now I'm hungry.

 

I'm not really a breakfast person.. it takes me at least an hour or 2 before I get an appetite, but I've found that I HAVE to eat if I want to maintain energy levels during the morning. So my compromise is a super-smoothie... orange or grapefruit, banana, nectarine, apple, 2 tablespoons of plain yoghurt, a raw egg, a tablespoon of soy protein powder, maybe some salt/sugar free peanut butter. It makes about 600ml which I can down and keeps me going for a good few hours. I feel deprived of energy if I don't have it.

If it's weekend I might have scrambled eggs and bacon on rye bread.

 

Left over chicken parm and penne pasta that I cooked last night (and surprisingly, came out awesome, as I was just shooting from the hip.)

 

Eggs Benny. We are on a nickname basis, my love is so devout. It's a modified version, though, with white sauce instead of calorie laden hollandaise.
Whole wheat toast instead of muffins. Meatless. The single best thing I have ever had, being the egg lover that I am, was 2 poached eggs on top of potato waffles with
spinache puree in Greenich Village.

 

A friend of mine just loaned me his immersion circulator and I am using to to make 62c eggs. I hope they are as good as they look on the intertubes.

 

We live in our own home and rarely if ever smell odors of food from neighbors. If anything we'll smell the supper club a few blocks away into the wind. As for odder things consumed or seen consumed - I know some people consume cold pizza for breakfast but I cannot really tolerate the idea. I don't even like cold pizza ANYtime.
Certain oppositional odors? I would have to say any commonlygross ones such as throwup in the child's bed, my dog's poop, etc.
Preference - I love waffles or french toast. I heard a recipe recently for french toast that I WILL be trying soon. Instead of eggs they used eggnog to batter the bread in. I love eggnog and french toast so combined it has great potential.

 

Potato perfection involves Cheese and, probably, bacon.
