Breakfast is usually cereal (Alpen or some such), porridge, or wholegrain toast.  If I have time or I'm feeling creative though -- I love things like Tex-Mex egg dishes (omelets, scrambles, etc) with lots of sauteed veg & hot sauce, breakfast burritos (with sausage), etc...also like American-style pancakes (banana nut pancakes particularly!) or the occasional English fryup.  Fully caffeinated coffee -- always!

So, what do normally you have for breakfast - if you do eat breakfast, that is?   I usualy have cereal and milk though on weekends I may end up having eggs and toast

What are your favourite breakfast foods?  what I normally have!

Do you often like to eat breakfasty foods for other meals?  If anyone has seen my 'tea' selections, you'll see that I have cereal regularly..it's a favorite.  And I love to have eggs or pancakes for dinner!

(For those who have immigrated either to the UK from the US or to the US from the UK)What - if anything - has changed in what you eat for breakfast since you have moved to another country?  The only thing that changed was that I would eat a fry-up once in a while - I'm not really a huge bacon or sausage thing.

Otterpop -- Sometimes I think that, food-wise, we are cut from the same cloth.  Well but I just can't get into black pudding...and no, I've never tried it...but the idea is enough to put me off.  My 2nd husband (now ex #2), who was Polish-American, always threatened to make me eat Chernina -- a traditional Polish dish that is soup with duck or goose blood with dumplings and dried fruits.  Bleurgh.

I always eat breakfast, and I tend to eat the same thing for several weeks, then switch to something else.  The breakfasts I rotate most often are

porridge made w/ milk, Splenda, and cinnamon
wholemeal toast w/ natural peanut butter
a banana and a cheese stick
a yogurt (always vanilla) and a cheese stick
a bowl of Alpen

My favourite breakfasts, which of course I hardly ever eat  ::), are pancakes w/ strawberries and whipped cream with sausages (US sausage, not UK!) and biscuits and sausage gravy.  Yummy!

Before I stopped eating white flour, I loved pancakes for dinner!  Might try some with wholemeal flour and sugar-free syrup sometime!  Fortunately, DH doesn't like American-style pancakes, so the temptation to make them isn't around, which is a very good thing in my case!

The full English breakfast doesn't really appeal to me as I don't like tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding, white pudding, or UK sausages and won't eat white toast, hashbrowns, or baked beans.  That pretty much just leaves me with a rasher or two of bacon on my plate.   ::)

The first seven years of my life I never had anything other than wholemeal pancakes (my grandfather stoneground the wholewheat himself).  The first time I went out to a restaurant and ordered pancakes I was appalled when the server sat a plate of these weird too-fluffy white things in front of me.  I remember asking, "What are these?  I ordered pancakes!"  Twenty-three odd years later I have developed a taste for the "weird too-fluffy white things" but I still prefer the wholemeal ones. :)  Try it, Lola - I think you'll like it.
