Nor seafood. My very well-educated son-in-law announced almost 2 years ago he was giving up meat. But when I asked him if it was going to be easy giving up seafood, he said he was not giving up seafood, he was going pescatarian, just not eating meat. Well where I grew up in Florida, the flesh of seafood is called meat...so IDK.
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.
You forgot Arizonian...
Arrabiata sounds like breakfast to me.Completely irrelevant, but I once went to an Italian restaurant in Margarita, and ordered pasta all'arrabiata ( tomatoes with hot peppers).
It came with bacon and ham. I sent it back because it wasn't even close to an arrabiata.
Waiter came back with a more or less OK arrabiata and said: "that was the chef's interpretation"
I could happily do that. Today's breakfast was Portuguese pasteis de nata; tomorrow I might just have some good old eggs!
Well, neither is Portugal. Most of the Portuguese folks that came to Hawaii to work the plantations were from The Azores.
Yes, and full of awesome people like you!
There's not many folks that live in Arizona that are actually FROM Arizona ... and it's sort of the other way around ... I don't think that I'd ever met anyone from AZ in HI ... We left Hawaii for Arizona and unfortunately will never move back there.You forgot Arizonian...
AWWWW!
