What do you usually have for breakfast?
You'd better tell us where you are from.Ok!
I'm the first!
I'm a Chinese,living in North China.
I usually have porridge,eggs,bread,etc.Sometimes I have noddles,dumpling,as well as some I can't write them down in English.
Now it's your turn!

Just a mug of warm milk with Nesquick. I am just not hungry when I get up. Sometimes I also have a magdalene but only because I don't wanna feel hungry before lunch.

I know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I also know the rule that says "have a king's breakfast, a princess lunch and a vagabond dinner" but I just can't eat anything for breakfast. Maybe it is because I was raised that way. Just a mug of milk.

By the way, Xavia, i see that sometimes you have noodles for breakfast. Do you have rice, too?

When I was in Beijing, noodles and rice were part of the Chinese breakfast (there were two types of breakfast: Western and Chinese). I was astonished when I saw it the first day, because I usually have noodles or rice for dinner here in Europe when I go to a Chinese restaurant.

i eat very much in the morning
sometimes we eat oatmeal with milk in it and fried eggs and vegetables and fred dumpling
i donnot eat noodles in the morning, because it is complexed to cook it, i have not enough time to cook it
but when i live in the home of mother-in-law, she will cook it for me in the morning
perhaps i will eat some spicy souce to apitizor me

Thanks for your attention!
Actually, you can eat whatever you want if you have enough time.
Yes, in some parts of China people also eat rice at breakfast.Rice can be cooked with egg, sausage, fruit, meat or something else.Delicious!

I'm a Vietnamese and in our country,I usaully have sticky rice and noodle with beef in my breakfast .May be every one in our country as soon as me . Enjoy your breakfast !
Dear every body!

I'm Vietnamese, too :D
H m m, I often eat " pho " ( have you ever heard about this before? ) . It's also my favorite dish :D .
Of course, a glass of milk is necessary in my breakfast.
But sometimes, I want to change other dishes, such as: cereal, instant noodle and so on.

Is it something like this?

well, if you are a student and away from home for universty and there is nobody to prepare you a breakfast, it is usually a waste of time in the mornings. everyday i have lessons very early in the morning and i can sleep for at least twenty minutes more instead of having a regular breakfast!! god, it has been for months since i last had a real breakfast :( ..

What's with all the breakfast topics? It's taking over EC.

A typical western breakfast consists of some of the following, not all:

Ham
Eggs (Easy-over is the best)
Sausages
Bacon
Bread/Toast with jam/butter/peanut butter
Hash Browns
Milk
Juice
Coffee
Tea
Last night's left-overs

And pretty much anything else.

I hear ya!

Anyway, I live in the US and I personally don't eat breakfast 99% of the time. When I have cereal available, I eat that or a muffin.

Hi!Pal
~I'm from CHINA,too.
I always breakfast on porridge,bread,boiled eggs,milk and so forth. Although porridge is nutritious,I don't like eating it.It tastes considerably weak.

I think they are students, and this is an assignment or something.

Really? For breakfast? In any case, we have them for lunch, not breakfast. Especially because my personal breakfast consists in just a mug of milk, like I said above

hm. usually i don't have time to cook anything special in the morning, that's why i eat bread and butter or cheese, cookies and a cup of tea. and vitamines)

Hi!

well yeah vitamins - they may come in handy - you look a bit... tired in your avatar! :P

okey, i can change my avatar, i won't look tired)
but, of course, not only because of vitamins, the main reason is a good mood in the mornings (;

Thanks for all your attention!
I'm glad that you joined the topic.
At first, it's just a task given by my English teacher. I want to improve my poor English, but now I find another meaning of doing so.
I agree with the idea that no matter what you have for breakfast, you just enjoy yourself!

Hello,
I come from Italy and, for me, breakfast is a very important part of the day.
My friends don't like breakfast in fact they drink only a coffee and they resist all the day.
For me is very important because, if I don't eat I feel very tired!
So... I usually eat milk or tea with biscuits, or brioche or... crispbreads with Nutella!
:D

Im an iranian.
I don't like having break fast(I'm alittle lazy for eating ) but i eat cheese and bread with iced tea! I also sometimes drink milk or some juice.

I also come from china.
I seldom eat breakfast, i don't have any appetite for it, I prefer to sleep a little longer

I'm Japanese.
My breakfast is a buttered toast and a cup of coffee.
But most Japanese eat rice and miso soup. :)

Tea,olives,cheese ,tomatoes, cucumber and egg are generally the basic participants of the breakfast in my country.In fact it changes from region to region.Some of them can even eat chicken at breakfast!!
However in brief words,our breakfast is light.I like it!!

i cannot believe that local people eat rice and something like that for breakfast when i just been to singapore.because it is too greasiness and in most time i don't feel hungry in the morning.so i usually go to supermarket or seven-eleven to buy something that steamed and soy milk or milk around 8am.

i am from Vietnam too,
for a long time i have had no chance to enjoy my beloved food. and now just simply i really miss it
sometimes i try to cook the noodle with beef by myself, but i have never found it delicious enough as i used to in Hanoi, although i have read some papers about how to exactly do it.

Hi!
I am from Indonesia.
I usually have rice and fry egg for breakfast. Sometimes i drink a glass of "Milo" from nestle. My mom say that is not good for someone to eat too much in breakfast. But in other way, we must have breakfast. It's also good for someone in diet program. Breakfast could resist feeling of hunger, maybe 1 or 2 hour before lunch time.

i come from China too,
i lived in suzhou :D
i want to sleep as much as possible,so i have no time to cook my own breakfast，even a fried egg, i usually buy some steam bread or chip or others on the way to work.
actually，i don't like breakfast, but to have a breakfast is conducive to health :D

because of the needful sleep it's happened the same here, in romania.so, no breakfast.
only in vacation I eat something in the morning: hot tea, cheese, tomatoes, butter and marmelade

Hello I'm from the Philippines. In our country, we start our day with a heavy breakfast. We usually eat rice(mostly garlic rice) with a combination of fried eggs,sausages and dried fish.

It's obvious for us to have for breakfast every day.However,we also need to have for lunch.
Let's have lunch

Dixie wrote:"have a king's breakfast, a princess lunch and a vagabond dinner".

very correct, but most times we pay too much attentions to the dinner

In Italy we are not used to eat sausages, eggs, porridge, etc. for breakfast, even if I think it's a right way of starting one's day (one gets energy and has a lot of time ahead for digestion).
I usually have just a cappuccino and toast with honey/jam.

Hi,
My freind have been to China and Thiland many times, and he told me he usually took breakfast outside, there were many moving restaurants (sorry I don't know a precise word). Compared to those shop in Japan, it's so
reasonable, quickly served and tasty. I envy him
Back to myself, I usually eat fruits, yogult, rice and milk. I have no time to make a big brekfast but I try to milk products or fiver rich food.

I usually eat nothing for brekfast .In a day, I have lunch and dinner and eat a few at midnigt.
I can't get up earlier before seven.When the time pass, my mother put dishes away immediately. It is her routine.And it is the rule tween my families.

hello,
i am new here. i am from turkey and here, brekfast is very important for me, i eat egg, cheese , honey etc. and always drink a cup of tea.

I usually have a cup of coffee for breakfast...I hope some of you can remember me I've been absent for a long long time...nice to see you again guys

Hi friends,

At México there are some basic elements in the breakfast: orange juice, milk, egss, bread, cofee, fruit.
Now, because of the stress to live in the principal city (México City),people usually do combination of this elements. Example:Mix mil with fruit and an egg in the licuator and drink (breakfast for students)
Drink a cofee, a donut or a sandwich while you go to the office,in the car, on the street., etc.
Brakfast for workers:Drink "Atole" (milk with chocolate or any other flavor) and a "Tamal" or eat "tacos" on the street.
After that "important" meal mexican people eat whatever they can, while the lunch hour came.

Elba brakfast:
06:00 am Orange juice and an all bran bar
10:00 am begettable, yougurt or milk, eggor cheese
12:00 fresh cucumber with lemmon
15:30 lunch: chicken or fish or cheese, vegetables
17:00 hot tea with lemmon
21:00 More hot tea with lemmon, milk a sandwich or cheese or only fruit like wattermelon, grapes, apricot, or something tht contain enough part of juice.

OMG I´m hungry all the time
2 l of watter.

I usually all eat bread to wrap with milk.

breakfast???????
Why not ,
but just cofee best of all

milk and eggs.

Some kind of delicious sandwich....

:? I wouldn't dare to mix those... :?

Me neither... lol... lot of... bad smells... if you now what I mean...

if properly mixed, fresh, salted and fried - it's an omelette I make... so what's wrong??

Now we're talking... it's just that it sounded like... a plate of eggs and a glass full of milk... and only that... now that you made it clear... sounds soooooo delicious...
