I don’t quite understand how you came to the opinion that what you described was a typical American breakfast. If anything most Americans have very little breakfast beyond coffee and toast or cereal though the classic American breakfast consists of bacon, eggs, toast, coffee and/or orange juice. In the south it may include grits and instead of bacon sausage or country ham. In the southwest breakfast tacos/burritos are very popular because they can be easily eaten on the run. Very few people eat pancakes for their breakfast except perhaps on weekends. with two parents working most kids will probably have cereal and or yogurt or even pop tarts or if they are very lucky they can have breakfast at school. Since you say you eat breakfast at the diner they do serve pancakes as a routine few people eat so much bread but it will make them slow down instead of speed up with more proteins. McDonald’s is certainly a breakfast main state as well as other fast food drive through locations like Starbucks, Chick-fil-A and other fried chicken places for their biscuits and/or sandwiches. of course there are regional favorites as well that serve similar items of their own concoction. It’s almost like making the assumption that everybody in the UK has fish and chips every day.
Fast food breakfast sandwiches and lattes/frappes are popular. When I eat breakfast, it's usually one egg or toast or oatmeal or a bagel with fruit jam or fresh fruit and milk or coffee. Bacon, biscuits, pancakes, and all that are saved for weekend brunch or brinner (breakfast for dinner).
I think he is referring to the "classic American breakfast" as in eggs, bacon/sausage, hash browns, toast and pancakes/french toast. I don't think people in the UK eat a full English breakfast everyday either, but it is a thing and typically has eggs, sausage, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, etc. Average American breakfast on the daily is probably cereal or toast.
I eat a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.. the only time I’d eat a big breakfast is if we went out for breakfast which is rare ..occasionally I’ll make biscuits and gravy.. we might eat an egg and bacon sandwich for lunch
We can get soft cream cheese spreads in different flavors. Some are sweet like strawberry, blueberry, or pineapple, and some are savory like garden vegetable.
It's toast and coffee for me most mornings. Weekends fried potatoes, bacon and eggs most times. I drink tea nights only but EVERY morning is coffee morning in my house. 100% Colombian brewed and piping hot 😊
I am not a morning person. I appreciate breakfast food after a night at the bar. Lol. This is coming from my 20’s and 30’s where we need food so we don’t end up hung over that day. Or for lunch ( on the weekend only) But I will sometimes make breakfast burritos for work. Just eggs,mushroom, tomatoes, and pico, or some kind of hot sauce. Like Tapatio. Probably the pickled carrots or jalapeños. Every once in a while add some cheese.
What you get in restaurants, isn’t a typical American breakfast. I usually have yogurt and whole wheat toast, or cheerios with blueberries and milk. If I go out for breakfast I have eggs, pancakes, bacon and hash browns. I do that maybe twice a year. For one thing, who has time to cook all of that in the morning?
Those type of breakfasts are usually only eaten on weekends, special occasions or vacations, generally we have coffee and toast/bagel or maybe some fruit or cereal. I like my Bagel, either toasted w/butter, bagel w/cream Cheese and really lover Bagel and Lox but that's more lunch than breakfast.
What exactly is the, "typical American breakfast"?😳 I'm American. I was born American, raised American and have never had, nor ever heard of, a "typical American breakfast". I have never walked into a Diner or Restaurant and asked, "can I please have the typical American breakfast"?😆 In America, breakfast is what you make of it i.e., it's strictly a preference. Some prefer cereal, some pancakes, some bacon & eggs, some donuts and all of which I have had at one time or another. Right now, my breakfasts consist of lettuce & tomato salad. Sometimes I have pizza for breakfast. These are what a typical American breakfast consists of. And to my fellow Americans, please add any of your own preferences that I haven't already mentioned.😉
There is no one “typical breakfast”, but it’s pretty safe to assume they’re talking about a standard diner breakfast of pancakes/waffles, eggs, bacon/sausage, hash browns, and OJ or coffee Like a standard Denny’s Grand Slam, basically
Yeah, I think he means the "classic American breakfast" that you can get at any breakfast joint in US. Like the UK has the "full English breakfast" with its usual fixings.
@@geegs120 Well, I guess it depends on where one is from in the USA. For me, the average American "diner" breakfast has been (and still is) eggs, bacon (or sausage) home-fries and toast. Everything else (like waffles, pancakes, etc.) is an additional "side" order.😉
In a weird twist, where I live in Seattle, there has been an increase in the number of places where you can get an English style breakfast in recent years. This may have to do with the fact that there are a lot of British/Irish pubs in the area many of which open early on weekends to show Premier League matches.
Growing up, we normally had cereal or eggs and toast for breakfast on weekdays, but every single Saturday morning my mom and dad would make us a big breakfast with pancakes or waffles or french toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, and juice. Sunday mornings were normally quick because we had to be at church pretty early, so sometimes dad would wake me up before everyone else and we would slip out to Shipleys Do-nuts and get donuts and kolaches for everyone, otherwise it was cereal or whatever anyone made for themself. Now in my own home, I tend to do breakfast for dinner more often because I'm not an early riser, so I'd rather make an amazing variety of breakfast foods in the evening than wake up early to do it lol My kids either have cereal or yogurt and fruit for breakfast at home, or they can get breakfast at school, but the school breakfast is not healthy at all, so they don't really tend to get it.
Typically my mornings on weekdays are instant oatmeal, toast and coffee but on the weekends I'll cook hash browns, scrambled eggs with melted cheese and bacon. If I'm feeling particularly lazy, I'll just go down to the food truck in the morning and get a gigantic breakfast burrito.
Those breakfasts that you see are normally weekend things or for once in a while. Most mornings we do quick things like cereal, oatmeal, fruit, smoothies, etc. I know typically for me I make egg, toast, and ham. I put the egg and ham on top of the toast and it is so good. Also typical for me would be berries, oatmeal, or protein shake.
My usual breakfast is piece of toast with butter or sometimes peanut butter and maybe a banana. Sometimes i eat a breakfast bar when I am in a hurry. Pancakes are a special sunday breakfast on occassion.
My family are tea drinkers. I guess because of our Irish background. I, by chance, was taking a sip of tea from my Seinfeld mug when Kabir was drinking from his mug, too!
As an american with food issues i can only drink one specific coffee. But tea is a hug in a cup. 😂 on my bagels i have toasted with philly cream cheese, or an egg and cheese bagel sandwich.
As a kid I ate a lot of cereal, now as an adult I really don't eat breakfast foods much. I'll fix eggs and toast every now and then, but not that often. I can't remember the last time I had a bagel, but when, I did it was a cinnamon raisin bagel with apple butter.
When I was a kid in the 50s and 60s, you could buy almost any candy bar or chewing gum for a nickel. In the 80s, Dunkin' Donuts sold 3 doughnuts for a dollar.
Hi Kabir, for years my breakfast consisted of two frozen waffles topped with a large scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream microwaved for a minute and a half, a glass of milk with a packet of Instant Breakfast in it and two scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream stirred in. It only took a couple of minutes to fix before going to work. My breakfast beverage was a glass of super strong ice tea with sugar. On weekends I cooked a regular bacon and eggs with Biscuits. I make french toast with a little cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and vanilla extract added to the beaten eggs and top it with powdered sugar. It helps if you have stale bread, but you can just put the bread in the oven in low heat for a few minutes. You don't want super fresh bread.
I don't eat a huge breakfast except a couple of times a year, usually on vacation. Once in awhile my wife and I will have bacon and eggs for breakfast. Or, maybe a couple of sausage patties or links and some 2-3 pancakes. 🇺🇲
I've got two go-to combos for bagels. 1: Cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, and chives; 2-Scrambled eggs, Cheddar cheese, and sliced tomato (sometimes bacon as well when I'm in the mood for the extra salt). Both of these are on an everything bagel. ;) These are actually my favorite breakfast, but I don't eat it TOO often, because it's also very high in calories. Most of the time, I just have coffee for breakfast. Sometimes, I'll also have a bowl of Miso soup or some oatmeal or some fruit and yogurt. Depends on whether I'm hungry or not. Most days, apart from the coffee, I don't really eat until dinnertime.
Speaking of toast, I remember watching a British etiquette video talking about table manners. One of the points made was the 'proper' toast is only toasted on one side. Seeing the early toasters reminded me of this.
I like the smell of coffee too. In my twenties, I used to drink a lot of coffee and sodas each day. I think it was to keep me awake at work. I stopped both drinks later on in life and I tried my old coffee, black with sugar, I got so jittery. My husband was a coffee drinker. He called it his candy bar. Five times a week, he would go to a coffee house and ask for a large coffee. First the coffee would be half hot water and half coffee, with lots of room for the half and half and sugar. With the cream and many packets of sugar, it was very sweet like a candy bar. For me, tea tastes like hot water. I do drink green tea, not that I lke it, but for medicinal purposes. My husband was a donut or croissant (depending on where we were out at the time) eater. I preferred bagels. We used to stop at a bagel shop (eventually moved/closed down) and I would get this hot plain, fluffy bagel with melted cheese on it. Then we drive to the donut or croissant place to pick up what he wanted and eat it in the car. My husband was so against bagels and one day he tried my bagel, and I got him hooked. He actually got the onion bagel with cream cheese and sometimes with bacon also in it. Once I could not get my old cheese bagel, I liked by plain bagel toasted with butter and jam. My husband still like his donuts and croissants. I never had beans and toast which I hear that is a staple from British programming. I think the typical breakfast is toast, eggs a breakfast meat (I prefer sausage) and hash browns. I like pancakes, but after a few bites, it does not taste as good as the first bite. I like French Toast and Belgium style waffles, but in a way, they are not as filling as pancakes, plus a lot of calories with the butter and maple syrup. At a restaurant, my husband most times got the Huevos Rancheros. Tortilla, eggs, refried beans, country potatoes that is sauté with onions and green bell peppers. and salsa. Or get the same breakfast as me, but he preferred bacon. My husband's favorite meal out was breakfast. We would compromise, either a late breakfast or early lunch. I told him, what he spends on a couple of eggs, toast and hash browns is too expensive so for the same amount roughly, i ordered the lunch, a club sandwich, side salad and fries. He would get the breakfast. After Covid, things are so expensive now (my husband died of Covid almost 4-years ago) for breakfast or any take-out meal.
My daily on the go breakfast is an egg and a slice of Canadian bacon microwaved in a small dish for a minute, atop a toasted English muffin with a slice of American cheese. Total prep time: 3 minutes.
I use to live with my grandfather growing up. He had one of those early toasters. The bread was set on the rack on the outside of the heating coils. Once the bread had reached the right color you could do a quick flip down with the rack and back up which turned the bread over so you could toast the other side. I wish I had that toaster today it worked so well. (PS: this was back in the early 1950's and I'm sure he had it from the 1920's and used it almost every day.) I'm 78 currently. As a kid we ate mostly Oatmeal for breakfast.
My mother made us eat a hot breakfast of eggs and bacon or sausage every school day, orange juice, sometimes oatmeal or grits in addition. Weekends could be waffles or pancakes. As an adult, I ate 2 donuts on the way to work. Now I eat one egg, about 5 walnuts and a cup of black tea (nothing added). Occasionally I have oatmeal with blueberries and a few strawberries for breakfast but I like to have that as an evening snack to keep me full until morning.
I put creme cheese on my bagel. Once in a while, I like lox--smoked salmon--along with the creme cheese. You can even add a slice of tomato to make it extra good.
Sundays, we usually do a breakfast with eggs, bacon or maple sausage links, toast, oj, (my fave is Simply Orange with calcium. Sometimes we get the mango version, and, of course, coffee.
We have “big breakfast” on the weekend, usually Sunday and that’s eggs, bacon and maybe a waffle, cinnamon bun or donut, sometimes instead of that we’ll have oatmeal or cheesy grits. Week day mornings are just too rushed, so cereal, a bagel, I just use cream cheese plain or flavored with fruit, or a breakfast sandwich from the freezer. If we go out for breakfast then we might have biscuits and gravy or eggs Benedict. Fruit juice usually accompanies the big breakfast on the weekends.
My favorite cereal as a kid was Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I don't eat nearly as much cereal as an adult though. Prior to my wheat allergy diagnosis I generally ate Frosted Flakes, but now, if I buy cereal, it's one of the gluten-free varieties of Chex.
I like the garden vegetable flavor cream cheese on plain bagels, and butter on cinnamon raisin bagels. If bagels is what they're serving. My favorite breakfast is those McDonald's sausage egg burritos with mild pecante sauce (like salsa) and orange juice over ice.
One of my favorite breakfasts is a toast and orange marmalade sandwich. SO good !!! Sometimes a toast and scrambled eggs sandwish. And then sometimes french toast made in the frying pan. But always coffee with creamer. I don't drink orange juice. It's too high in sugar.
The best is toast a bagel and spread butter on it and let it melt. Then spread mayo over that. Put sausage, bacon, egg and cheese and you got an amazing breakfast sandwich.
With my bagels cream cheese, butter, and that's probably it. I prefer sweet bagels blueberry and cinnamon bagels to be precise so I don't think it needs that much.
My favorite way to eat bagels is with onion and chive cream cheese, sliced roma tomatoes, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. My other favorite is butter and a fried egg. This is best on either an onion bagel or an asiago cheese bagel.
My bagel go to's are asiago cheese bagel with ham, scrambled egg, and swiss cheese, or a cinnamon raisin bagel with strawberry cream cheese. The egg and meat one I get at a bagel shop, the cin raisin one I make at home.
At "the corner" closest to where I live, there is a Starbucks across the street from the Starbucks in the grocery store. Granted, one you can drive thru and one you can't.
Usual morning breakfast for me, 2 cups of coffee. On rare days an egg and one slice toast, or 2 slices of toast with avacado. I go out for breakfast maybe once or twice a month. Usually when i eat out its fast food lunch, but i cook at home most days so thatbis pretty rare too. This is tbe normal for most of the people i know.
It's been a while since I visited the UK, but even here in the US, we call a "cold" breakfast (fruit, pastries, cheese) a "Continental Breakfast." Is it the same there? Yes, we have all those great breakfast/brunch places, most of us don't indulge every day or even every week. After eating at one, you can see why. We already have an obesity problem. But there is nothing quite like "breakfast for dinner" with pancakes or waffles, hashbrowns, eggs (cooked however - I like making Eggs Benedict), biscuits (the fluffy US kind). Totally not healthy, but quite the comforting meal. One thing I've noticed from US reaction videos is the difference with "instant" coffee. From trips abroad, I knew that instant coffee was what was offered (in homes of friends). No coffee maker, French Press, or other way of turning real beans into coffee. Now, Keurig is big here (look it up - it's hard to explain). Instant coffee is so blech to me. I'd drink tea over instant coffee. But I LOVE my French Press cup every morning. Fortunately, I grew up in an orange grove in Florida. Had fresh OJ every morning.
Fresh fruit, low carb yogurt is plenty. If I ate anything like what is described as a typical American breakfast, I'd be slow sluggish and bloated I wouldn't want anything else for the rest of the day.
Every nation has its own version of what a traditional full breakfast contains, I have seen a British full breakfast and think it would make a Billy Goat puke, but everyone is different aren't they.
There is no typical American breakfast as the foods eaten change by region. There is also an urban/rural divide as rural breakfasts needed to be higher in calories for the rural farm workers while urban breakfasts didn't need so many calories. I grew up eating cereal on school days, and other types of breakfasts (pancakes, eggs/bacon, etc) were only eaten on weekends. Also, when we moved to NYC, that introduced bagels and a "Shmear" of cream cheese. But true NYC style bagels are really dense and filling. Not soft and fluffy like Lenders.
I usually always eat breakfast, sometimes its just oatmeal with fruit, but I make bacon and eggs 3 or 4 days a week. Yea I now take a cholesterol pill so I cut back on bacon. Coffee everyday allday.
When you said " I never hear of Folgers" I was like 😱 Folgers is a old staple ☕ . Famous commercial " The best part of waking up is Folgers in you cup ☕" I have a large can of Folgers on my kitchen counter & about to make a cup of coffee now. All of my auntie s drink Folgers as well 😅 I think Folgers & Maxwell House are the most popular @ home coffees. Starbucks & Peet's are pricey. I purchased some Starbucks @ home ground coffee & was disappointed ☹️. I thought Starbucks great when purchased @ the store but my good old Folgers tastes best @ home 🏠😊
I’d say most Americans eat a very light breakfast, if we eat anything in the morning. Cereal, a bagel and cream cheese, toast, etc. Restaurant/diner style American breakfast is a treat and a lot of us eat it at dinner because it’s just too much in the morning.
Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch! Nom! I was like you, Kabir. I could easily eat half a loaf of toasted bread, but I was hyper and skinny with big shoulders. Now it's anywhere from 6 to 10 eggs, depending on whether I have bacon, and usually a steak or some kind of meat at night. I lift heavy weights and, believe it or not, my body rejects fiber, so vegetables and fruit are out of the question. To avoid IBS, I eat like a lion!🦁
I loved French Toast as a kid but cannot do syrup any more... doughnuts are a hard no unless they are custard and that is about once every two or three years. now omelets or sausage biscuits and gravy or steak and eggs and I am in
Typical breakfast for my family consists of oatmeal, yogurt, or maybe an egg sandwich or bagel. The only time we do a big breakfast like the "traditional" American breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns/grits, toast, coffee, and OJ...is if we go out on Holidays or the occasional weekend. It's too much work that early in the morning! Cereal isn't a breakfast food for us. It's a snack eaten dry, or made into rice crispy treats.
Bagel sandwiches are great,especially with eggs and bacon or turkey sausage.Give me one with a hot cup of joe and I'm a happy man.I always butter my bagels and put grape jelly on mine.
I’m southern only eat bagels if not real breakfast not available. I eat grits, bacon or sausage links, biscuits or eggs, toast and bacon and grits or French toast or pancakes or waffles haha but coffee community we drink real coffee in Louisiana
These are breakfast foods. My whole life, 25 or more days of the month breakfast is coffee and a cup of yogurt or coffee and a bowl of cereal. Toast, pancakes, waffles, pork… that is a treat . However, all of those foods several days a month or every day might be part of the reason we are such an obese nation..,
I don't crave 'breakfast' foods that often, so i'm usually eating leftovers from dinner. Or soup, a sandwich, something else fast to fix. I haven't been able to work since 1991, so I don't have the kind of schedule normal people do. I eat whatever I want, whenever I'm hungry. Usually ends up as two main meals - first and last - and snacks in between. You can ask for your bacon un-crispy. Or your toast light ot dark, or your eggs lightly scrambled, so they're not a hard mass. Like the ways you can otherwise request your eggs. Personally, I hate bacon that you could break a tooth on. 😄 I want it done, but chewy. Agree with others, full breakfasts are usually on weekends or at restaurants. Individual preferences when I do have breakfast foods - occasionally various cereals, oatmeal with sugar, a dab of butter, cinnamon, and half&half. Toast - butter & jam, peanut butter, PB & honey, butter & Czech prune jam, butter & sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. (Officially cinnamon toast.) Same with an English muffin, except the cinnamon and sugar. French toast I dip in a mix of beaten egg, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon and cardamom. And always butter it before I put something sweet on it. Usually maple syrup. Bagels - well, I got a new toaster for a birthday present, so now I can toast them, but it's always been spread with cream cheese, then microwaved until it's heated. Plain bagels. I like some things very plain. Muffins, always hot with butterr. I'm partial to blueberry. I've only had crumpets in Canada (oh, I love crumpets!), but it's always been with butter and strawberry jam. At a restaurant, I usually get scrambled eggs, hash browns, a couple of pancakes, a slice of ham (or sausage links or bacon). Or I go for a Denver omelet (known as a Western omelet back East), with diced ham, onions, red and green bell peppers, cheese, and when I make them at home, sauteed mushrooms. With an omelet I'll almost always have some sort of potatoes. Hash browns or fried with onions if they have them (sliced potatoes), or home fries (cubed and fried.) Ketchup goes on the potatoes with an omelet. 😄 Not on the omelet! Minor note, my brother liked his fried eggs with jelly. 🤯
Kabir, as you may know, these gluttonous breakfasts are, as my mom used to say, "rare as hens' teeth", as many Americans don't even have one, many just have cereal and coffee, etc.
Born and raised in the USA and as a child, a normal breakfast would be a bowl of oats or other cooked cereal with milk or a bowl of corn flakes or something like that also with milk and perhaps juice or fruit. As an adult, my usual breakfast is a piece of toast, one egg and coffee. Occasionally I will have bacon, sausage or ham with my egg or perhaps an omelet, breakfast burrito or an egg sandwich. I have never been a big fan of pancakes, waffles or French toast, donuts, muffins or sweet rolls. Such sweet things in the morning never have appealed to me. I do eat those things, just not for breakfast. I think the world has gotten hung up on the restaurant chain advertising that is done in the US around that big breakfast idea.
A "Nickel" ($0.05) Donut in 1934 would be equal to about $1.16 in today's economy....... I will have "Breakfast" for Supper couple times a month.... trying to prepare and clean it up in the morning is alot to try and accomplish first thing in the morning if heading out the door to work......
I haven't eaten bread in over 6 months to be honest. I don't drink juice either. I'm not the typical western diet kinda girl. I grew up eating it though.

Well said, Sir!
Agree 💯
Sit down breakfasts are more of a weekend thing. Most people grab something fast, like a pastry and coffee or cereal.

I probably eat traditional breakfast like 6 times a year. I just do lunch and dinner, that's it.
I make French Toast sweet. Milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and a little vanilla extract. Dip the bread, then fry it in butter. Serve it with syrup.
Same here, I was so confused when he said salt and pepper. It's French toast, not scrambled eggs 😅

My go to is an Onion Bagel with Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam. Toasted. Weird, but freaking delicious!
My family only does a full, traditional breakfast on holidays and when we go out. Mostly I just eat a yogurt with a bit of granola.
Brooklyn/Queens NY at the local deli, it’s bacon, egg, and cheese on bagel! It’s best on an everything bagel. They are amazing!

I put cream cheese on my bagels. I put butter and syrup on French toast.
I put pb on waffels and pancakes haven’t tried on French toast but to be honest I don’t do FT that often
Typically my mornings on weekdays are instant oatmeal, toast and coffee but on the weekends I'll cook hash browns, scrambled eggs with melted cheese and bacon. If I'm feeling particularly lazy, I'll just go down to the food truck in the morning and get a gigantic breakfast burrito.

I love the Asiago cheese ones at Panera

Folgers continues to be the top selling home coffee brand in the United States and has over a billion dollars (USD) each year in sales.
Bitter, not a foldgers fan.
I always keep a small thing of it in my pantry, incase I run out of the "good stuff"
My family are tea drinkers. I guess because of our Irish background. I, by chance, was taking a sip of tea from my Seinfeld mug when Kabir was drinking from his mug, too!
As an american with food issues i can only drink one specific coffee. But tea is a hug in a cup. 😂 on my bagels i have toasted with philly cream cheese, or an egg and cheese bagel sandwich.
Yup, that’s us alright! We wake up in the morning and say “time for dessert!!!” And we add some fruit or orange juice to make it seem healthy 🤣
Fr
What do I like on my bagel? BACON
What do I like on my donut? BACON
What do I like on my BACON? MORE BACON 😂
Bacon is like salt and pepper. It goes with everything.
As a kid I ate a lot of cereal, now as an adult I really don't eat breakfast foods much. I'll fix eggs and toast every now and then, but not that often. I can't remember the last time I had a bagel, but when, I did it was a cinnamon raisin bagel with apple butter.
When I was a kid in the 50s and 60s, you could buy almost any candy bar or chewing gum for a nickel. In the 80s, Dunkin' Donuts sold 3 doughnuts for a dollar.
Cream cheese and lox on my bagels, please. 😊 Add a slice of tomato and add some onion slices too.
Bagel...
tomato sauce, oregano parsley parmeasan and and mozerella cheese
Hi Kabir, for years my breakfast consisted of two frozen waffles topped with a large scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream microwaved for a minute and a half, a glass of milk with a packet of Instant Breakfast in it and two scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream stirred in. It only took a couple of minutes to fix before going to work. My breakfast beverage was a glass of super strong ice tea with sugar. On weekends I cooked a regular bacon and eggs with Biscuits.
I make french toast with a little cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and vanilla extract added to the beaten eggs and top it with powdered sugar. It helps if you have stale bread, but you can just put the bread in the oven in low heat for a few minutes. You don't want super fresh bread.
Another fine reaction from the Right Honourable Captain Viscount Kabir of Ayofe, KC.
I don't eat a huge breakfast except a couple of times a year, usually on vacation. Once in awhile my wife and I will have bacon and eggs for breakfast. Or, maybe a couple of sausage patties or links and some 2-3 pancakes. 🇺🇲
I've got two go-to combos for bagels. 1: Cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, and chives; 2-Scrambled eggs, Cheddar cheese, and sliced tomato (sometimes bacon as well when I'm in the mood for the extra salt). Both of these are on an everything bagel. ;) These are actually my favorite breakfast, but I don't eat it TOO often, because it's also very high in calories. Most of the time, I just have coffee for breakfast. Sometimes, I'll also have a bowl of Miso soup or some oatmeal or some fruit and yogurt. Depends on whether I'm hungry or not. Most days, apart from the coffee, I don't really eat until dinnertime.
Speaking of toast, I remember watching a British etiquette video talking about table manners. One of the points made was the 'proper' toast is only toasted on one side. Seeing the early toasters reminded me of this.
I like the smell of coffee too. In my twenties, I used to drink a lot of coffee and sodas each day. I think it was to keep me awake at work. I stopped both drinks later on in life and I tried my old coffee, black with sugar, I got so jittery. My husband was a coffee drinker. He called it his candy bar. Five times a week, he would go to a coffee house and ask for a large coffee. First the coffee would be half hot water and half coffee, with lots of room for the half and half and sugar. With the cream and many packets of sugar, it was very sweet like a candy bar. For me, tea tastes like hot water. I do drink green tea, not that I lke it, but for medicinal purposes.
My husband was a donut or croissant (depending on where we were out at the time) eater. I preferred bagels. We used to stop at a bagel shop (eventually moved/closed down) and I would get this hot plain, fluffy bagel with melted cheese on it. Then we drive to the donut or croissant place to pick up what he wanted and eat it in the car. My husband was so against bagels and one day he tried my bagel, and I got him hooked. He actually got the onion bagel with cream cheese and sometimes with bacon also in it. Once I could not get my old cheese bagel, I liked by plain bagel toasted with butter and jam. My husband still like his donuts and croissants.
I never had beans and toast which I hear that is a staple from British programming. I think the typical breakfast is toast, eggs a breakfast meat (I prefer sausage) and hash browns. I like pancakes, but after a few bites, it does not taste as good as the first bite. I like French Toast and Belgium style waffles, but in a way, they are not as filling as pancakes, plus a lot of calories with the butter and maple syrup. At a restaurant, my husband most times got the Huevos Rancheros. Tortilla, eggs, refried beans, country potatoes that is sauté with onions and green bell peppers. and salsa. Or get the same breakfast as me, but he preferred bacon. My husband's favorite meal out was breakfast. We would compromise, either a late breakfast or early lunch. I told him, what he spends on a couple of eggs, toast and hash browns is too expensive so for the same amount roughly, i ordered the lunch, a club sandwich, side salad and fries. He would get the breakfast. After Covid, things are so expensive now (my husband died of Covid almost 4-years ago) for breakfast or any take-out meal.
My daily on the go breakfast is an egg and a slice of Canadian bacon microwaved in a small dish for a minute, atop a toasted English muffin with a slice of American cheese. Total prep time: 3 minutes.
I use to live with my grandfather growing up. He had one of those early toasters. The bread was set on the rack on the outside of the heating coils. Once the bread had reached the right color you could do a quick flip down with the rack and back up which turned the bread over so you could toast the other side. I wish I had that toaster today it worked so well. (PS: this was back in the early 1950's and I'm sure he had it from the 1920's and used it almost every day.) I'm 78 currently. As a kid we ate mostly Oatmeal for breakfast.
My mother made us eat a hot breakfast of eggs and bacon or sausage every school day, orange juice, sometimes oatmeal or grits in addition. Weekends could be waffles or pancakes. As an adult, I ate 2 donuts on the way to work. Now I eat one egg, about 5 walnuts and a cup of black tea (nothing added). Occasionally I have oatmeal with blueberries and a few strawberries for breakfast but I like to have that as an evening snack to keep me full until morning.
I put creme cheese on my bagel. Once in a while, I like lox--smoked salmon--along with the creme cheese. You can even add a slice of tomato to make it extra good.
Sundays, we usually do a breakfast with eggs, bacon or maple sausage links, toast, oj, (my fave is Simply Orange with calcium. Sometimes we get the mango version, and, of course, coffee.
We have “big breakfast” on the weekend, usually Sunday and that’s eggs, bacon and maybe a waffle, cinnamon bun or donut, sometimes instead of that we’ll have oatmeal or cheesy grits. Week day mornings are just too rushed, so cereal, a bagel, I just use cream cheese plain or flavored with fruit, or a breakfast sandwich from the freezer. If we go out for breakfast then we might have biscuits and gravy or eggs Benedict. Fruit juice usually accompanies the big breakfast on the weekends.
My favorite cereal as a kid was Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I don't eat nearly as much cereal as an adult though. Prior to my wheat allergy diagnosis I generally ate Frosted Flakes, but now, if I buy cereal, it's one of the gluten-free varieties of Chex.
I like the garden vegetable flavor cream cheese on plain bagels, and butter on cinnamon raisin bagels. If bagels is what they're serving. My favorite breakfast is those McDonald's sausage egg burritos with mild pecante sauce (like salsa) and orange juice over ice.
One of my favorite breakfasts is a toast and orange marmalade sandwich. SO good !!! Sometimes a toast and scrambled eggs sandwish. And then sometimes french toast made in the frying pan. But always coffee with creamer. I don't drink orange juice. It's too high in sugar.
Cream cheese (vegan) on my bagel, or toasted with a buttery spread and “nooch!” 😂
The best is toast a bagel and spread butter on it and let it melt. Then spread mayo over that. Put sausage, bacon, egg and cheese and you got an amazing breakfast sandwich.
With my bagels cream cheese, butter, and that's probably it. I prefer sweet bagels blueberry and cinnamon bagels to be precise so I don't think it needs that much.
My favorite way to eat bagels is with onion and chive cream cheese, sliced roma tomatoes, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. My other favorite is butter and a fried egg. This is best on either an onion bagel or an asiago cheese bagel.
My bagel go to's are asiago cheese bagel with ham, scrambled egg, and swiss cheese, or a cinnamon raisin bagel with strawberry cream cheese. The egg and meat one I get at a bagel shop, the cin raisin one I make at home.
morning meal: Oatmeal/frozen berries(raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, cherries)/vegan protein powder/soy milk. every day.
Back off our breakfast Kabir!! I make and eat biscuits and sausage gravy multiple times a month.
In Houston Texas ALL of these options for breakfast are available here. Let's add the southern favorites too.
Coffee has been my breakfast since high school. I only ate breakfast food when I was pregnant.
I normally have oatmeal with fruit or an omelette with veggies
Folger's is the day-to-day coffee in our house. Once in a while we do different flavors/roasts.
Jam and Philadelphia cream cheese on a bagel is amazing!
At "the corner" closest to where I live, there is a Starbucks across the street from the Starbucks in the grocery store. Granted, one you can drive thru and one you can't.
When I was a kid we used to cook our toast on the coal fire in the kitchen with a toasting fork.
Try cream cheese and green pepper jelly on an onion bagel. Yum 😋.
My bagel toppings of choice would be Strawberry and/or Honey Nut Philidelphia cream cheese.
Usual morning breakfast for me, 2 cups of coffee. On rare days an egg and one slice toast, or 2 slices of toast with avacado. I go out for breakfast maybe once or twice a month. Usually when i eat out its fast food lunch, but i cook at home most days so thatbis pretty rare too. This is tbe normal for most of the people i know.
It's been a while since I visited the UK, but even here in the US, we call a "cold" breakfast (fruit, pastries, cheese) a "Continental Breakfast." Is it the same there? Yes, we have all those great breakfast/brunch places, most of us don't indulge every day or even every week. After eating at one, you can see why. We already have an obesity problem. But there is nothing quite like "breakfast for dinner" with pancakes or waffles, hashbrowns, eggs (cooked however - I like making Eggs Benedict), biscuits (the fluffy US kind). Totally not healthy, but quite the comforting meal.
One thing I've noticed from US reaction videos is the difference with "instant" coffee. From trips abroad, I knew that instant coffee was what was offered (in homes of friends). No coffee maker, French Press, or other way of turning real beans into coffee. Now, Keurig is big here (look it up - it's hard to explain). Instant coffee is so blech to me. I'd drink tea over instant coffee. But I LOVE my French Press cup every morning.
Fortunately, I grew up in an orange grove in Florida. Had fresh OJ every morning.
Bagels: cream cheese with or w/o salmon, toasted w/ butter, or as a breakfast sandwich.
I grabbed triple box pop tarts wild berry, chocolate fudge, strawberry milkshake they're delicious.
Fresh fruit, low carb yogurt is plenty. If I ate anything like what is described as a typical American breakfast, I'd be slow sluggish and bloated I wouldn't want anything else for the rest of the day.
Every nation has its own version of what a traditional full breakfast contains, I have seen a British full breakfast and think it would make a Billy Goat puke, but everyone is different aren't they.
I just eat tamago gohan- raw egg and soy sauce in rice. Quick and simple!

There is no typical American breakfast as the foods eaten change by region. There is also an urban/rural divide as rural breakfasts needed to be higher in calories for the rural farm workers while urban breakfasts didn't need so many calories. I grew up eating cereal on school days, and other types of breakfasts (pancakes, eggs/bacon, etc) were only eaten on weekends. Also, when we moved to NYC, that introduced bagels and a "Shmear" of cream cheese. But true NYC style bagels are really dense and filling. Not soft and fluffy like Lenders.
Next time you make French toast, put a tsp of sugar in the mix and use cinnamon liberally. Pour maple syrup over it. So good!
I came up with a bagelburger with cream cheese and green olives. Otherwise, I put either just cream cheese, butter or peanut butter on them.
I usually always eat breakfast, sometimes its just oatmeal with fruit, but I make bacon and eggs 3 or 4 days a week. Yea I now take a cholesterol pill so I cut back on bacon. Coffee everyday allday.
Do an episode where you react to Dylan Hollis. He is well known for trying different recipes through history.
My saying is...."I shoot coffee" (Espressos) And sip my tea. That is the difference for me.
smoked salmon and cream cheese on my bagels!!
Special occasion breakfast . BAGEL WITH BUTTER AND JAM OR CREAM CHEESE.
I had a white cream filled donut from my local grocery store bakery. I haven’t had one of those in such a lonnnng time :D.
Cooking dough thoroughly without overcooking the edges has always been a challenge. Hence the hole in the middle.
Cream philly cheese baby! On the bagel of course!
I like chive cream cheese on a toasted bagel!! Slathered on thick! Lol!
When you said " I never hear of Folgers" I was like 😱 Folgers is a old staple ☕ . Famous commercial " The best part of waking up is Folgers in you cup ☕" I have a large can of Folgers on my kitchen counter & about to make a cup of coffee now. All of my auntie s drink Folgers as well 😅 I think Folgers & Maxwell House are the most popular @ home coffees. Starbucks & Peet's are pricey. I purchased some Starbucks @ home ground coffee & was disappointed ☹️. I thought Starbucks great when purchased @ the store but my good old Folgers tastes best @ home 🏠😊
I’d say most Americans eat a very light breakfast, if we eat anything in the morning. Cereal, a bagel and cream cheese, toast, etc. Restaurant/diner style American breakfast is a treat and a lot of us eat it at dinner because it’s just too much in the morning.
Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch! Nom! I was like you, Kabir. I could easily eat half a loaf of toasted bread, but I was hyper and skinny with big shoulders. Now it's anywhere from 6 to 10 eggs, depending on whether I have bacon, and usually a steak or some kind of meat at night. I lift heavy weights and, believe it or not, my body rejects fiber, so vegetables and fruit are out of the question. To
avoid IBS, I eat like a lion!🦁
I loved French Toast as a kid but cannot do syrup any more... doughnuts are a hard no unless they are custard and that is about once every two or three years. now omelets or sausage biscuits and gravy or steak and eggs and I am in
if I have my bagel...once a year, I have an onion bagel with cream cheese. but seriously it is a once a year treat.
Typical breakfast for my family consists of oatmeal, yogurt, or maybe an egg sandwich or bagel. The only time we do a big breakfast like the "traditional" American breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns/grits, toast, coffee, and OJ...is if we go out on Holidays or the occasional weekend. It's too much work that early in the morning!
Cereal isn't a breakfast food for us. It's a snack eaten dry, or made into rice crispy treats.
Bagel sandwiches are great,especially with eggs and bacon or turkey sausage.Give me one with a hot cup of joe and I'm a happy man.I always butter my bagels and put grape jelly on mine.
I’m southern only eat bagels if not real breakfast not available. I eat grits, bacon or sausage links, biscuits or eggs, toast and bacon and grits or French toast or pancakes or waffles haha but coffee community we drink real coffee in Louisiana
Everything bagel with salmon/cream cheese. That is a meal.
These are breakfast foods. My whole life, 25 or more days of the month breakfast is coffee and a cup of yogurt or coffee and a bowl of cereal. Toast, pancakes, waffles, pork… that is a treat .
However, all of those foods several days a month or every day might be part of the reason we are such an obese nation..,
Lightly toasted bagel - little butter and now I’ve just been doing plain Phili Cream Cheese.
I don't crave 'breakfast' foods that often, so i'm usually eating leftovers from dinner. Or soup, a sandwich, something else fast to fix. I haven't been able to work since 1991, so I don't have the kind of schedule normal people do. I eat whatever I want, whenever I'm hungry. Usually ends up as two main meals - first and last - and snacks in between.
You can ask for your bacon un-crispy. Or your toast light ot dark, or your eggs lightly scrambled, so they're not a hard mass. Like the ways you can otherwise request your eggs. Personally, I hate bacon that you could break a tooth on. 😄 I want it done, but chewy. Agree with others, full breakfasts are usually on weekends or at restaurants. Individual preferences when I do have breakfast foods - occasionally various cereals, oatmeal with sugar, a dab of butter, cinnamon, and half&half. Toast - butter & jam, peanut butter, PB & honey, butter & Czech prune jam, butter & sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. (Officially cinnamon toast.) Same with an English muffin, except the cinnamon and sugar. French toast I dip in a mix of beaten egg, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon and cardamom. And always butter it before I put something sweet on it. Usually maple syrup. Bagels - well, I got a new toaster for a birthday present, so now I can toast them, but it's always been spread with cream cheese, then microwaved until it's heated. Plain bagels. I like some things very plain. Muffins, always hot with butterr. I'm partial to blueberry. I've only had crumpets in Canada (oh, I love crumpets!), but it's always been with butter and strawberry jam.
At a restaurant, I usually get scrambled eggs, hash browns, a couple of pancakes, a slice of ham (or sausage links or bacon). Or I go for a Denver omelet (known as a Western omelet back East), with diced ham, onions, red and green bell peppers, cheese, and when I make them at home, sauteed mushrooms. With an omelet I'll almost always have some sort of potatoes. Hash browns or fried with onions if they have them (sliced potatoes), or home fries (cubed and fried.) Ketchup goes on the potatoes with an omelet. 😄 Not on the omelet!
Minor note, my brother liked his fried eggs with jelly. 🤯
Kabir, as you may know, these gluttonous breakfasts are, as my mom used to say, "rare as hens' teeth", as many Americans don't even have one, many just have cereal and coffee, etc.
Now I want to make some donuts🍩 or bagels🥯!
Born and raised in the USA and as a child, a normal breakfast would be a bowl of oats or other cooked cereal with milk or a bowl of corn flakes or something like that also with milk and perhaps juice or fruit. As an adult, my usual breakfast is a piece of toast, one egg and coffee. Occasionally I will have bacon, sausage or ham with my egg or perhaps an omelet, breakfast burrito or an egg sandwich. I have never been a big fan of pancakes, waffles or French toast, donuts, muffins or sweet rolls. Such sweet things in the morning never have appealed to me. I do eat those things, just not for breakfast. I think the world has gotten hung up on the restaurant chain advertising that is done in the US around that big breakfast idea.
I’m a steak eggs bacon and pancakes for breakfast kind of guy. Chicharon, barbacoa or breakfast tacos are also acceptable
A "Nickel" ($0.05) Donut in 1934 would be equal to about $1.16 in today's economy.......
I will have "Breakfast" for Supper couple times a month.... trying to prepare and clean it up in the morning is alot to try and accomplish first thing in the morning if heading out the door to work......
Breakfast is high in carbs to give you energy. Then comes the drop in sugar at 10 am.😂😂
Flavored Philadelphia cream cheese II like the garden vegetable.
I haven't eaten bread in over 6 months to be honest. I don't drink juice either. I'm not the typical western diet kinda girl. I grew up eating it though.
