Two poached eggs over extra, extra crispy hash browns. Coffee. DH always go for pancakes, two eggs scrambled, and bacon. Coffee.
Un caffe macchiato, per favore.
I guess it just depends on the mood. If Iām going to be doing things after breakfast, Iād just as soon go out for breakfast. But on a day such as this Sunday was (off-and-on rainstorms pretty much all day) I stayed in and made some quick scrambled. 
I never said the crab cakes were made from fresh crab. 
Oh if only! Iām in San Francisco and just meant that the crab cake benedict seems to be prolific in these parts on brunch menus. Honestly, most of the time I end up being disappointed in them. But for some reason Iām always compelled to order them - just in case I hit the jackpot of deliciousness.

We frequently go out to breakfast on Sunday during football season. At one of our local casinos we get the 333. Three eggs, three strips of bacon, potatoes and toast for $3.33. And a cup of their really terrific coffee for a buck. Watch the first half of the ball games and go home. Then my kitchen is all clean if I want to start cooking.

My usual is corned beef hash, 2 poached eggs on top & rye toast. And Iām particular about my corned beef hash. Soā¦ one Friday morning weāre on an adventure up north of Bath ME. & looking for a place for breakfast when we spot āShips Chow Hall.ā Tiny place - 3 booths on each side & two tables in the middle. The back corner is the kitchen staffed by a scrawny blonde who it turns out is the cook, waitress, owner & bakes 6 types of bread every morning. āWhatāll it be,ā she asks. Since itās a new place to me & Iām picky about my CB Hash I ask if itās made there & she says 'Of course." āWell, what do you put in it,ā I ask (because I do NOT want green or red peppers or any of the other miscellaneous stuff people seem obligated to put in CB Hash). She gives me a look like Iām something she found on the bottom of her shoe & says "Corned beef & potatoes. You want something else, go somewhere else. "
Seeing as how we shared similar beliefs about Hash we got along just fine after that.

Then you should love bicuits and crab gravy?
I wouldnāt kick it out of bed for eating crackers.
Spicy Italian sausage skillet with eggs over easy. I love spicy foods for breakfast.

Thatās my kinda lady.
The village has four cafes that offer breakfast. Almost needless to say, I have tried them all with a disappointing lack of success and thereās no need for me to trouble three of them again for anything more than a cup of coffee.
However, the original place, which is attached to one of our two bakeries, offers a Big Breakfast (there is a smaller offering but, almost needless to say, I have never experienced that). So, on the occasions when I feel the need to boost my cholesterol levels, the Big Breakfast includes bacon, sausage, black pudding, fried egg, tomato, baked beans, fried mushrooms and toast. The price used to include the coffee but, hey, itās austerity time here.
Western Omelet, whole wheat toast with butter & grape jelly, hot tea with milk, small O.J.
Is a Western omelet the same as a Denver omelet?
Basically, yes. Ham, onions, bell peppers. Traditionally in the Northeast, cheese is not even mentioned. Some places offer cheese as an option, others automatically include it. My usual has no cheese; itās the dish I use to judge a new diner. The places that get it right cook the extras before adding them to the eggs.
Oh yikes, so there are those who donāt??? Wow
Raw onions and green peppers, uncooked ham in an omelet? Who does this? Wise that you give them a wide berth!

We live about six blocks from a true greasy spoon. Wonderful people watching opportunitiesābut I digressā¦
My optimal breakfast at this dive is: two eggs over medium, four sausage links, hash browns fried hard, rye toast with extra butter; and a cup of the worst coffee Iāve ever tasted.
16 year old fry cooks at chain places, Iād surmise.
I ordered tortilla soup as my test at all new Mexican places for quite a while. Wide variation.
