What's for breakfast? (2024)


Last of the panettone for the year, French toast-d and smothered with warm syrup and blueberries. I kinda OD’d on the stuff this year so I’m glad it’s gone :sweat_smile:

I’m usually a just coffee or coffee and cereal fan, but I do like to splurge on a traditional breakfast of eggs, meat, and potatoes (and liberally buttered toast)

I’m especially interested in local meat specialties – things like scrapple in the PA-Chesapeake region


Liver pudding in NC

and livermush in west -central NC (which is much better

In Cincinnati, Goetta(which appears in all sorts of dishes)


and Mettwurst

onion sausage in SC.

and of course, fried tenderloin

or country ham

or 'most any other meat on a good biscuit.

What are some other local breakfast meat specialties? And where should I try them"

Peameal bacon, which you can try in Canada. Here is my most recent peameal bacon breakfast sandwich.

This is local peameal bacon from Granton, Ontario.

It is cured, not smoked, and coated in cornmeal or yellow peameal.

Cretons are popular as a spread on toast for breakfast, in Quebec. It’s almost like a pâté. https://creativecynchronicity.com/cretons-de-quebec/

Thick slices of fried bologna is popular in Newfoundland at breakfast.

Post-holiday fridge cleanout.

Leftover ditalini made into a pasta salad with celery, scallions, pickles and hard-boiled eggs. For dressing: mayo, cider-vinegar, pinch of sugar, lemon juice, and black pepper. Served on a bed of shredded lettuce. To go with: the last piece of fried chicken – shared.

I swears if I had your breakfasts, I wouldn’t need any lunch :slight_smile:

Bingo! We don’t eat lunch. We’re up very early in the morning each day - reading the media, choring, and then hiking - and by the time “breakfast” rolls around, we’re hungry and ready for a meal. Does wonders for clearing out leftovers, and holds us mostly 'til dinner.

That makes perfect sense! I usually wake up between 9-10 and don’t get hungry until much later, so for me it’s often an ‘either or’ proposition — do I feel like breakfast food or something more substantial? Not to say that breakfast food can’t be substantial, as is evident in your posts :wink:

Inspired by @MunchkinRedux’s lavish plates, I give you fingerling home-fries, Nueske’s, and 2 local eggs :blush:

Best part: I didn’t even have to make it, my PIC did :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Yeah, that’s whole milk in the glass. Had some languishing in the fridge from my PIC’s pistachio ice cream.

Feels like Germany, almost :smiley:

The only time I’ve ever eaten fried bologna is wrapped around a kosher hot dog in a deli (it was a Baltimore thing).

Fried bologna, or, even better, mortadella, is a good thing.

My Newfie grandmother would make “gravy” with the bologna grease. Never tried it, never will.
