Breakfast around the world

Thank you. Does that recipe look right though?

Well believe it or not I do have a recipe posted here. I'd completely fogotten about it as it was 9 years ago:

Occasionally I put cheese in an omelette (in which case its usually simply a cheese omelette) with cheese folded into the centre to ooze out. But mainly I cook omelettes 'au naturel' so to speak. Or with a simple filling such as spinach.
I've gotten accustomed to the American omelet style of many fillings, lol. I'd probably just call a traditional omelette an egg pocket or envelope, lol. It's funny, because I do make them, I just don't call them omelettes. When I make a scrambled egg sandwich for DH, it's easier to keep the eggs from falling out it if I fold the eggs over instead of breaking them up.
 
Smoked salmon and cream cheese as a sandwich filler is rather nice though.
Makes some nice starters too.

True. Has to be a mild cheese though.


Talking of breakfast, there is another UK classic breakfast which has rather fallen out of fashion; kippers! I absolutely adore them.

Probably the most common breakfast in the states is bacon and eggs, with the eggs being however you like them; scrambled, omelette, etc. Pancakes or waffles are common, too, but I'm not a fan. Biscuits and gravy are big in the South, and they love their grits. Being from PA, for the longest time, I was like Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinnie..."What's a grit? 🤣

I personally seldom eat breakfast, and only make it maybe once every other weekend or so. Last weekend I made Western omelettes. This giant plate with 3 eggs was for my hungry teenager.

On occasion, I'll smoke a breakfast fatty if we have people over for brunch, which is a spicy ground breakfast sausage rolled out across a bacon weave, that is topped with scrambled eggs, onions, peppers, and shredded cheese, rolled up, seasoned, and smoked. It's more of a thing for people with smokers, but you could do it in the oven, as well.

A couple of weeks prior to that, I think I made a Swiss Potato Rosti for the first time, which was good, but took a lot longer than "easy" bacon and eggs.

A big local thing in Penna is scrapple, which is fried pork scraps mixed with cornmeal and spices, but that's more of an older generation thing. I don't care for it. Another is honkey eggs, which is made with eggs, home fries, peppers, onions, and ham mixed together, and usually served with toast. Sugary boxed cereals are all too common, unfortunately, especially with kids, but my family doesn't eat that junk at all.
