That? For BREAKFAST?!

[Lynx]

I run into this all the time, and I mean ALL the time.  People will be talking about what they ate, I'll mention what I ate, and everyone will go ballistic because what I ate is not seen as food that fits at that mealtime.  At least eating breakfast food for supper is common these days... more common than in years past anyway.  But I still run into people expressing dismay when I eat scrambled eggs for supper, tuna fish for breakfast, etc. 

So I am gathering information.  Not so I can modify my dietary habits to conform to accepted norms, but so I can at least edit what I talk about.  What do you consider proper breakfast food, what would be totally ludicrous to eat for breakfast, and why would it be so out of place to eat that for breakfast?  Same thing with the other meals - what would you eat for breakfast but not for lunch or supper, and why would you not eat them for lunch or supper?

We don't call you Weird Cat for nothin'. 

[Lynx]

To date you are the only one to use such an appellation.  What is really weird is that the lone person to call me that has a weird bird in his avatar.

[Chseeads]

No, "we" call you that.  Trust me.

[Roscoe]

Weird cat  , as a former third shift worker it's all good for breakfast.

[MsJennJenn]

Well I hate breakfast "burritos" or whatever.

I don't think Mexican should be mixed with breakfast food! Just ain't right!

Funny you should post this topic.  I just texted Roscoe this morning saying I thought M&M's should be considered a proper breakfast food.

Normal breakfast foods (Bacon, Sausage, Ham, Eggs, Omelets, Pancakes, Biscuits, Gravy, Waffles, etc), are just...normal.  Bland really.  lve mentioned this to my wife several times, but I would rather have something different.  I know this is not what you are asking per se, but I am ready to try something different.  But not chocolate gravy.  I seriously question the smarts of people who like that stuff.



What I would like to know (and try) is what other cultures/countries consider normal breakfast.  I would like to try some of their fare.

As bad as I hate to trust Seth, you might want to listen to him  this once

When I was in Africa in 2005, for breakfast we ate Grilled Fish and Bread with Orange Marmalade.

[Melody]

I love all kinds of ethnic food but I don't think I know many breakfast meals. Aside from fruit & cream with a varied bread.

Jeremy if u come up here we could go to some different restaurants. Nathan loves all kinds of food period. Lol

There's always tea, scones, crepes... I think fresh baked things in the cool of the day is universal.

[MelodyB]

Just about anything leftover is suitable breakfast food to me. Even peppers. I love sandwiches for breakfast.

And I agree...trust Seth on this one!

The bolded is a lie. Arkansas is another culture and you wouldn't even try the chocolate gravy when I offered to buy it. And it is considered a normal breakfast here.

You are dead to me.

Not for breakfast....just for watching this fight unfold.

Is chocolate gravy basically like hot fudge topping? Or brownie batter? Do they have caramel gravy too? What about strawberry gravy?

All of the above just seriously grossed me out thinking about it....LOL

[Lynx]

Mellow, chocolate gravy is like none of the above.  It's more like really thin chocolate pudding, but not quite...  It's hard to explain, and if you run into a place where they make it icky sweet it can put you off on the whole idea.  You just have to try it.


I was asking what foods are widely considered weird to eat for breakfast, lunch or supper, but all I get are responses related to foods not normally eaten for breakfast.  So from what I understand all stereotypical "breakfast" foods are okay to eat for lunch or supper, but some stuff just isn't okay to eat at breakfast? 

[Scott]

Homer Simpson once said that Beer wasn't just for Breakfast anymore!   


Chocolate Cake and Grapefruit juice is not breakfast food, neither is Rice Pudding or cold pizza! All taste great for Breakfast.

Coney Dogs with extra onions are not  considered part of a balanced breakfast. (I've known people who eat it as well as Tuna Omelets with Grape jelly).

Chips and Salsa is for Lunch or supper, not breakfast and never ever tuna and banana Bagels

okay

You open that pandora's box and expect straight answers from the gang at GP?  How long have you been posting now? Did you forget just who you were expecting serious answers from? A guy who lives with chickens, a donut addict cop who leaves his M-15 on his patrol car trunk and countless office workers who think Starbucks is a food group?

[Lynx]

Aye, a cogent point.  But I was hoping to at least glean some relevant bits of data.

Ill remember that when Bro Gleason calls me for that 6 week/100 soul revival.  LOL

Seriously though, I would love that.  My wife isn't to keen on weird food, but I am doing my part to convert her and my children.  My kiddos are pretty well along the road of weird food.

I would think most whole grains or cereals would be weird to eat outside of breakfast.  Oatmeal, ect.  Rice, as a side dish would be ok outside breakfast.

Hamburgers for breakfast is strange, although I have done it.  Its not something I would tell everyone about though.  They would think it was weird.  For that matter, a chili cheese coney would be strange breakfast food.  Veggies of most sorts would be strange breakfast foods, unless cooked in with other breakfast items.

Potatoes are a cross platform food item.  Hash browns, fried taters, mashed potatoes...but while hash browns could be eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, mashed potatoes would be strange for breakfast.
