Ask Lemmy

When I lived in Chicago, mom-and-pop Mexican stores were a stone's throw from one another, take your pick. Also, they opened early to cater to laborers.

Real Mexican for breakfast? I would kill to have that back.

Pho. I have a pot every morning.

A wrap - 2 boiled eggs, beans, shredded cheese, dill pickle, salad dressing, and pepper. After that high protein greek yogurt with creatine and ground flax.

As an American, this is the most American thing I've ever heard.

Breakfast is my favorite meal, though I don't eat it very early, so I'm more likely to eat breakfast stuff for lunch or supper, than the other way around.

But leftover reheated pizza is so good for breakfast.

Whatever leftovers are on hand, but my favorites are noodle dishes like pancit bihon, pho (a normal breakfast but not here in the US), or Singapore curry noodles.

At this point, i'm just happy there's food

Probably not the weirdest by a long shot, but I absolutely love having leftover dinner for breakfast because I'm not a big breakfast food fan.

One of my favorites is if there's leftover homemade mac and cheese, I'll take some and heat it. Then I'll put some on a tortilla and then add ketchup. Roll it up and I will gladly devour it.

Pickled herring. Or soused herring. Or really, any kind of cold fish.

Do grits count? Grits with as close to an entire stick of hot butter as someone will let me have.

I love a Greek salad for breakfast. Eating salad as the first meal of the day makes me feel energetic, without the heavy, achy feeling that meat and bread-based foods give me.

My wife and I don't eat traditional "American" breakfast at all, it's always either refried beans, some kind of Indian curry, or protein and fried rice. PBJ is supplemental otherwise.

Hotdogs.

Oh man you are a visionary.

I can’t believe I never thought it suitable to just eat cheese cake for breakfast. Or any cake for that matter!

Seems obvious now that it’s been said, but never occurred to me prior seeing this. That’s a bit sad honestly, that I’ve become so reserved and “traditional” with my morning meals.

Edit: well just to answer the actual question so as not to waste space in the thread unnecessarily, the one thing I’d consider a bit more unconventional in my habits is just eating boiled eggs with nothing else. A cup of coffee and some 3 eggs, nothing else. I guess it’s not that strange, but I’ve got some funny looks when people are visiting or for example starting dating with someone, and I happen to do this.

Cold slice of leftover cheese pizza.

I didn’t think it was weird but when I put lox on my bagel one of my coworkers gagged and asked “ugh how can you eat fish for breakfast?”

Which is rich considering her people invented scrapple.

Peanut butter sandwich with mustard.

I'll be revealing my nationality with this one, but Wheatbix and Milo (chocolate malt usually for milk drinks) is something apparently no one else I've met has.

Before I moved away from dairy entirely, I couldn't stand the taste of plain cow's milk and adding Milo helped with the wheatbix severely.
