If you were at home in your National land what would your traditional breakfast be?
Mine;
Bacon, sausage, eggs, soda and wheaten bread or potato bread, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes..................oh and a big steaming mug of tea!:tea:
A nice cup of strong black coffee (real not nescafe etc) and a cigarette, sorry RD but it's the same here also.
I only seem to enjoy a good breakfast on holiday, then if I could choose, it would be a full Continental Breakfast, with small cereal and fruit juice, followed by, real bread, cheeses, salamis, parma ham, then fruit, all followed by real strong brewed coffee and a cigarette.

Thanks for sharing Davey and no need to apologise for your "ruttish" (is that a real word- "derived from rut") ways.
My OP is a not too well disguised way of discovering the breadth of nationalities on the forum. And more importantly hijacking some good exotic breakfast ideas from them!:tea:
Well if you want to know the trad breakfast we sometimes have, even my wife likes it now but I have to be honest it is a bit too heavy for me theses days.
Bacon, eggs, baked beans, fried or tinned tomatoes, hash browns, french toast (eggy bread where I come from), sausage with fruit juice and in my case followed by good coffe and a cig.
I still honestly prefer a really good continental breakfast but doing that at home just for one is difficult, for me here at least.

Bacon, sausage, eggs, soda and wheaten bread or potato bread, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes..................
Makes note to add hash browns, eggy bread (yum) and baked beans to breakfast repertoire.
When I'm not working and out in Sumbawa, I have an omelet with cheese, beef bacon and mixed vegetables, along with toast, juice and coffee. I always had a cigarette or two up until a few days ago - no more of those now unfortunately.
When I'm working, I just have coffee, cereal, toast, juice and a cigarette.
When i'm at home in Bali with the family, I have a variety of things depending on what my wife feels like cooking, or if I'm cooking, what the kids want to eat.

Yes but what is your traditional breakfast from your home country? I am interested in the traditional breakfasts of different nationalities..........
That's a traditional American breakfast. My eating habits have changed very little over the past 20 years in Indonesia.
If you were at home in your National land what would your traditional breakfast be?
Over here: Two cups of coffee and three fags (translation: cigarettes).
Over there: Two cups of tea and three fags (translation: cigarettes).

Bring on anything you fancy - your contribution to the OP was not really helpful. Coffee here and tea there is not really going to help my breakfast recipe book or discovering the nationalities of the posters here. :deadhorse: I wonder what this means........
My breakfast was always either a bowl of cornflakes or what was left of last night's pizza suitably nuked in the microwave.
I did once try to reheat a donner kebeb but the fat all over the place put me right off.

We will get along just fine I am grumpy too in the morning. :frown2:
during the week, glass of milk, and coffee or tea depending on my mood.
weekend, eggs, susages, susage brown gravy, home made biscuits.
or, panckaes, with susage. :)
For breakfast (or brunch as some would say) today, I had a toasted bagel with cream cheese, grilled tomatoes and black pepper. A glass of fresh OJ and some black coffee.
In my home country a traditional breakfast (one of them :) would be...mmmm...something like a porridge made from buckwheat baked in an oven for a while and then mixed with a warm milk....What else...May be scrambled eggs fried with onions and tomatoes and cheese on top...Yeah, and bacon...Although not the thin slices of bacon which we are all used to see here - but it's a cubed bacon, fried untill it is really-really brown...mmm..yammyyy...Thanks god Im gonna visit my country soon...:)
Rushing Doll if you are curious to know more recipies - let me know..I'll provide you with a good supply of them

OMG, I miss grits!!! And fried okra LOL.
RD, when I was still in the US (I'm the Indonesian side LOL) our breakfast usually contains egg in a hole, bacons or some days pancakes/cereal. Nothing too special. :)
If you were at home in your National land what would your traditional breakfast be?
I have lived in 7 countries all my life but so far nothing beats my Indonesian Rice Chicken Porridge / Congee as some will call it - consisted of Rice Porridge cooked in chicken broths serve warm with slivers of fried chicken,fresh cut parsley and green onions,sliced cakwee (don't know what to call it in english:confused2:),top with fried onions and salted turnip redish,and sweet soy sauce......hmmmm...can't wait for my next visit in december:hungry:

I forgot one thing RD, if you are going back to the UK .... fried Black Pudding is a must:smile:
doubles - a dish made from two pieces of puffy fried flour discs (lightly mixed with curry powder), with a layer of curried chick peas in the middle, garnished with a variety of hot and sweet sauces. Its a fav here, people usually have 2 or 3 for breakfast
This thread has made me realise how much my eating habits have changed over the last couple of years. From my regular cornflakes, toast or whatever to whatever is available.
Now, with Sulis having the restaurant, we are not in the house much so we don't keep much food here. Most of the time we end up with mie soup or something equally quick and simple.
before we were out, breakfast could have been anything that we may have at any other time of the day. It usually involved rice but ranged from a bit of tempai (how do you spell that?) to opor ayam.
Fred: maybe what you meant was tempe?

You are, in fact, correct. :)

Cereal is a con anyway - full of sugar and hidden rubbish and over rated.
So u probably better off with your mie soup or whatever.
A good drop of porridge oats with raisins and nuts will always bring a smile to my face and tummy!

No, the profile picture is more properly "Mexican". The Maya rendition of the same concept is more aesthetically elegant. Like this:

This is probably from lowland Chiapas. Palenque, if I had to hazard a guess. This is the rendition at Copan in Honduras:

Very interesting. The figure you are sharing show similarities to the Jawanese tradition.

Filipino Breakfast:
Salted duck eggs with cubed tomatoes and onion sprinkled with table salt, Crisp fried milkfish (is it Bangged?) marinated in vinegar, garlic, pepper and fish sauce and dipped in spicy fermented cane vinegar, and eaten with garlic fried rice and coffee. With side dish of fresh fruits: Philippine mangoes or watermelon.

Are you serious? What an interesting breakfast! Trying to imagine all those tastes together as I am a "woos" (or Gurrlll as Gratilla would say) and probably wont be trying it as the fish sauce and spicy fermented vinegar set my gastric alarm bells off!:happy:
Thanks for sharing that Abet - really did not know that was a traditional Filipino breakfast...............

Absolutely, I would love to. My first request is how to turn out the perfect sop buntut? Hardly eat meat at all but have a real soft spot for a nice bowl of ox tail soup? Any thing special you are interested in that I can send you?:smile2:
RD, when you said perfect sop buntut, have you tried to make one before?
If so, did you face any difficulties in one of some particular steps?
Or you just wanted to try it and want the recipe?
As for the recipe, for start, do you have simple dessert recipe?
maybe some traditional dessert from other countries? I am a dessert person :D

I have never tried to make it, no. I am unsure what herbs and spices make up the broth. I have cooked ok tail before but have not got it quite as tender as i would like and suspect there is a method to produce it so that it falls off the bone? I will PM you a favorite dessert recipie of mine shortly. x
OK...
I have the recipe but it's in Indonesian.
I will translate it first.
So it will take some times if you don't mind :D

Well blow me down! One of my best friends is from Trinny. I will be putting a flea in her ear now as she never shared this secret with me and we spent many breakfasts together after long party nights............but it was always toast, fruit, eggs etc.....your normal run of the mill morning foods. I am going to ask her about this. Have a safe trip.

For me a traditional breakfast depends on where I eat.
I currently live on my own - Weekdays: Protein Shake and a banana or a bowl of vector and a glass or two of coffee.
Weekends: A bit of tofu and some hashbrowns and toast
While at my grannies she always makes bacon in a frying pan fried with flour... sooooo tasty, but now I am a vegetarian so my breakfasts with her consist of coffee and a few slices of toast and fruits.. hehe.

No sausage bacon and eggs? Much too healthy, though I would have gone for Pancakes with strawberry yoghurt and mango.

Generally referred to as wallpaper paste, occasionally Lem Rajawali .....
Soto with all the garnishes - no problem, segor, no problem, but I've found that westerners generally can't get on with something that can be used to repair holes in plasterboard first thing in the morning.....
I expect Indonesians can't do crispy bacon, mystery bags, fried bread, grilled tomatoes, baked beans, bubble, mushrooms, tea and followed up with toast and marmalade.....

Everyone, save I and the sacked out birthday girl, is sitting around the dining room floor folding snack and treat boxes for the tomorrow's slametan crowd. They don't work very fast 'cause each stops after a box or two to answer an SMS. I think they are enjoying the box and chat session more than they will enjoy the slametan.
