Ask Lemmy

Coffee and pills

Coffee and meds. Peanut butter toast if I'm feeling naughty

I don't eat. I run on thoughts, prayers, and the power of friendship.

Anxiety and despair

What's "breakfast", precious?

3 cups of coffee. Unless it's 4.

I love a nice breakfast burrito.

Nothing. Last thing on my mind in the morning is food.

Appetite usually kicks in the late afternoon/early evening, when I have my first and usually only meal.

Coffee and cigarettes

I am genuinely floored by how many people here are claiming to actually eat breakfast. Tf is all the chia pudding bananas toast eggs shit??? For me, and everyone I know, breakfast is a special occasion for days off. My wife and I make breakfast maybe 10 times a year. I've always heard Lemmy's average age is on the higher end, and this thread has confirmed it for me.

Beer.

nothing

Coffee and a water.

Meetings

Nine cans of ravioli.

The scraps of my children's uneaten breakfasts, so:

• half an egg sandwich

• the dregs of a bowl of oatmeal with maple syrup, mixed with whatever unsyruped oatmeal I can scrape out of the pot

• about four apple slices and half a bagel

on days my spouse cooks breakfast. When I cook, everyone eats pancakes.

I don't generally eat breakfast. I honestly don't know how people do it, when I wake up the last thing I want to do is eat.

Usually nothing. When I do have breakfast it's either pancakes and eggs or milk and cereal. Every now and then I get a wild hair and have oatmeal.

Technically nothing, but I do have coffee at the office.

Except on Thursday. That's doughnut day.

coffee and weed

I have to have a protein focused breakfast, so usually some form of eggs. I have a lot of crustless quiches, scrambled eggs, omelets. Good thing I like them so much!

If I ever develop an egg allergy I am completely fucked lol

I find the lack of cheese in the comments very concerning.

The amount of Americans in the comments who don't eat breakfast is shocking

bagel and cream cheese, with coffee.

Rather than tell you what I personally eat, maybe it will be useful to know what American diners serve for breakfast. You can walk into any locally-owned diner anywhere in the country and order from a menu almost exactly like this:

• Breakfast Combo: Two eggs (scrambled, fried, or over easy/medium/hard), meat (bacon, sausage links, steak, or ham), and a carb (pancakes, toast, a biscuit, or hash browns)
• Biscuits and Gravy: Two biscuits with sausage gravy over the top. Sometimes served with an egg.
• Pancakes: A short stack is 2 and a tall stack is 4. Served with maple syrup.
• Skillet/Omelet: Eggs scrambled with onions, bell peppers, cheese, and meat. An alternate version, sometimes called “loaded hash browns,” uses hash browns instead of eggs.
• Breakfast Burrito: An omelet wrapped up in a tortilla. May be smothered with red or green chili sauce for a Tex-Mex spin.
• Oatmeal: Boiled oats with fruit, granola, syrup, etc.
• Eggs Benedict: Poached egg on an English muffin with ham and hollandaise sauce.

And then each diner will have their own “famous” specialty, like stuffed French toast, “home fries” (pan-fried potato chunks), huge pancakes, or sausage made in house. It’s hard to go wrong though, American breakfasts are consistently pretty tasty.

A big heaping bowl of FASCISM!

No, actually, usually just a bowl of cereal. Sometimes eggs and/or bacon as well on weekends when there's more time.
