Had to go with Philippines due to presence of mango and refreshing lime juice.

Iran's also looked pretty cool.

Thai breakfasts are pretty swell.

 

Although they weren't mentioned in the article, Malaysia and Vietnam also have kickass breakfasts.

Nasi Lemak, Malaysia (egg, rice, chicken, peanuts, sauce, li'l fish)

Roti canai, Malaysia (hot, freshly made flatbread, curry. The banana ones are really nice!)

 

Pho%20Vietnam-vietnamese%20noodle.jpgPho, Vietnam. Delicious as a breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack...

 

All of a sudden my peanut butter toast tastes like tears.

These two are awesome! And I'd probably put them over anything on that article's breakfasts.

 

Funnily, having Filipino parents and after all my visits to Filipino relatives stateside and in the Philippines, I have NEVER EVER had lime juice for breakfast or even had it offered. :LOL:

 

From the list, I think I'd go with Thailand.

 

The listing for Japan makes me smile as nobody here would ever just have tofu for breakfast. The typical J-breakfast would likely be one of these options:

a) rice, fish, salad, miso soup, natto, tofu

b) toast (no jam, usually no butter either), fruit, yogurt & coffee

 

[This morning I had yogurt with strawberry jam, a banana, some kiwi, 2 mini doughnuts, and a cafe latte.]

 

I'd never choose any breakfast that contains eggs.

Last summer I fell in love with the full Irish breakfast. Coffee, toast, soda bread, fried eggs, sausage, ham, and black and brown blood puddings. No need for lunch after that. Edited by goose

I wouldn't mind the English brekkie without the beans. But that's what's known as a "full English breakfast". Is that what the average Brit has for breakfast? Like how many Americans sit down to blueberry pancakes for breakfast on a normal basis? I prefer waffles myself. While the Vegemite on toast is an Aussie tradition, so are corn flakes or rice bubbles (Rice Krispies in the US). Aussies think all Americans eat the pancake brekkie because that's what they see in restaurants when they visit the US and then they wonder how it's possible.

I'm trying to remember breakfasts in Japan. We stayed with a friend, so I guess we'd just hang out there in the mornings. I know we went to a grocery store and bought short, square loaves of bread and peanut butter and cartons of cold [iced] coffee. I remember getting up and having "temple sake", served warm and almost like boozy rice pudding, and was quite nice first thing in the morning, like an alcoholic breakfast. :hail:

 

Got into the lime juice w/b'fasts in Cambodia. Absolutely refreshing. Perfect after a sweaty walk too. Limes rock.

I'm with you re: eggs. Although a fried egg on rice can be therapeutic after a night of over-indulgence. Much like the mystical qualities that a good bowl of ramen (or pho) has.

 

Can't find a pic of Dr. Strange eating soup so this will have to do:

Yes yes the loaves of bread are generally sold in 4-6 slices, the 6 slice one being thick for North American standards and the 4 slice one being thick enough to stop a bullet.

 

The warm temple sake isn't at most temples and generally not year round. But yeah, "boozy rice pudding" is a good description.

 

I like the Doc Strange inclusion :yes:

If you're looking for pics of a Marvel character eating, look no further than the Hulk.

But I want to look further than that big green b@stard! Stop trying to mind control me, you mental bully! Do you have to use your powers in EVERY post? -sigh-

I want a pic of Doc Strange eating soup, goddamn it! And then I want a pic of Howard the Duck fighting a turnip, beaver, bong, or kung-fu guy.

And then I want to eat soup. Maybe some nice crackers too. That hunk of leg that Hulk is honking on is looking good too. I'll also take some temple sake please, and a happy shake. What the hell, it's Fry-day.

The above was my first HtD comic and it was/is awesome. The movie was an abomination. The comic books were highly, highly weird and mostly always entertaining. How can you go wrong with a villain named "Dr. Bong"?

vt,

There are (I think) 3 too many eggs in there. But even without them, that breakfast is a bit too filling. Too many bread & pastries in there. I'd give a go though...after tossing the eggs out that is.

 

:LOL:

The best Balinese breakfast pics (featuring lots of delicious looking fruit) were all TripAdvisor ones and a pain in the fundament to post.

 

no eggs here:
