What did you have for breakfast as a child? What do you do now for breakfast?

We'd have lots of different things for breakfast when I was a kid...pancakes, French toast, cereal, Cream of Wheat, eggs. My favorite was probably pancakes. These days I usually have cereal in the morning or sometimes oatmeal. During the summer, I like to eat more fruit and fruit smoothies. Occasionally, on weekends, I'll fix pancakes.

As a child I used to have weetabix, cornflakes or some other cereal with a splash of ice cold milk and loads of sugar. I could not eat soggy cereal or cereal with hot milk. When I went to stay at my Grandmas house I would have cereal and toast with marmalade on. Once I left home I stopped having breakfast altogether, and to this day, I still do not eat breakfast. I just cannot face sitting down to a meal first thing in a morning.

When I was in the Middle East, school would start early and I remember having 2 eggs and a glass of milk every week day for breakfast. Some days it was oats porridge. My mother cooked a typical Indian breakfast every morning...but I never had the time to have it...so I would have that on the weekends (Thursday and Friday). When we moved to India, we had typical south indian breakfast every day...idlis, dosas, uppmas, idiyappams, puttus....oh..what a variety. But then too I hardly had the time and was usually rushing through breakfast before I rushed out to catch the 8 O'clock bus. Now, I cook typical Indian breakfast (which is time consuming and I have to be up early for it)...except on days when I don't feel like it and the family gets toast and eggs...and maybe (if they are lucky) oats porridge along with it. But now with the baby, I hardly get any sleep at night and it's toast and eggs most days...except during vacations when I get the time to cook. If I'm alone, oats porridge or toast and a fruit would do. But my husband is a heavy eater and prefers a proper indian breakfast.

I ate cherrios and wheaties and I still do sometimes oatmeal

i usually have cold cereal with slices of banana or strawberries during weekdays and hot porridge or waffles during the weekends. now, i still eat in the same manner. cereal every morning during weekdays and a hot pancake or waffle during weekends. i don't really eat much breakfast. i usually wake up late especially during weekends. but i do eat lunch, a very big lunch. rice is always present. a soup and a couple of viands complete the set. come to think of it, i have yet to eat. it's 3:45 PM here and i just woke up an hour ago. talk about hangover!

I remember we always had bread called pan de sal. In english, it means bread of salt. It's a traditional Filipino breakfast item. My mother would usually cook fried eggs, and if the budget would allow it, hotdogs or corned beef. We rarely had pancakes or cereals for breakfast. It's expensive. But I do remember having oatmeal once in a while.

Most of the time when I was growing up, we went for the quick and easy breakfasts. Pretty much, it was cold cereal and nothing else. We didn't do a lot of hot cereal unless we were able to find it on a really great sale and stock up. On special occasions, holidays, and sometimes on the odd weekend, we'd have scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast with butter. Oddly, I never remember having english muffins or bagels for breakfast until I was older, maybe nearing teen years. My favorite thing to do was to slap a ton of peanut butter on one and heat it in the microwave for about 25 seconds to get the PB all gooey. Even better, if we had any chocolate around, I'd break a few pieces on top of the peanut butter before microwaving it. Mmmmmmmm! Talk about a breakfast of champions! lol

My favorite breakfast as a child was an egg sandwich. I made it with white toast. I put mayonaise and a little mustard on it. I still prefer it as of this morning. I problably have 3 during the week. On the weekends my mom would make breakfast. She fried diced potatoes with onions. The put in chunks of bologna and fry that. then she would scramble eggs over that. She would serve it with toast. I still crave that every couple of weeks.

since we are a rice-eating country, i used to have rice with eggs or hotdogs or fried chicken for breakfast. or anything fried partnered with rice. ^__^;; except fried vegetables. sometimes i would just eat bread only with cheese or melted cheese or chocolate porridge. we call that porridge "champorado". its really delicious especially when topped with lots of milk and "biko" (rice cake) or "paborita" (a little like toasted bread). i still eat the same porridge and rice cake once in a while now. but now, i don't eat fried eggs and chicken anymore because i'm allergic to it. i usually eat rice with fried fish and veggies. yeah, i eat vegetables now because i know now how important they are. ^__^;;

When I was a kid I had the strangest things for brakfast. I had anything from leftover pizza and coffee cake, to candy bars and cheese-its, and to pancakes with frosting instead of syrup. These days I try to eat healthier, but I still do love having sweets for breakfast. xD

when i was a kid, i usually have a cup of hot chocolate and some cereals. but as i grow up, if i'm not in hurry i usually have a cup of hot chocolate and a creamy soup. but if i'm in hurry, i would just drink a hot chocolate and i'm ready to go

When I was a child, I always have toasted bread and champorado. For those who doesn't know champorado: Champorado (Tagalog: tsampurado) is a sweet chocolate rice porridge in Filipino cuisine. It is traditionally made by boiling sticky/sweet rice and cocoa powder giving it a distinctly brown color. However, dry champorado mixes, which may be found in some Asian food stores, are prepared by adding just boiling water. It can be served hot or cold and with milk and sugar to taste. It is served usually at breakfast and sometimes together with dried fish locally known as tuyo. -------- Even when I am older, my mom still cook champorado but I prefer fried rice, eggplant/egg omelet or fish as the breakfast. I like heavy breakfast since I don't eat lunch.

Well lately I have been toasting multigrain bread and topping it with almond butter =) I also have a piece of fruit or berries, maybe a light yogurt. My kids usually have cold cereal and milk, like cheerios, frosted flakes, kix, etc. I also stock breakfast hot pockets and we usually have eggs too. I also have coffee every morning. I keep a giant box of instant oatmeal packets in my pantry as well, sometimes we eat those. I usually had cold cereal as a kid because I hated getting up in the morning. My mom sometimes would make eggs, bacon, and pancakes on weekends, I'm not actually a pancake fan, I prefer waffles. I do love scrambled eggs or omelettes though and I don't often turn those down. I like egg sandwiches too... 2 scrambled eggs with cheese on a toasted english muffin with a little mayo and dijon and bacon. MMMM! I have not had leftovers for breakfast, I don't generally think about it! Sometimes my kids will eat the rest of the pizza for breakfast if we have a box from Little Caesars in the oven.

As a child we only had cereal, corn flakes, rice crispies or weetabix. When staying with my Nanna she always used to cook us porridge regardless if it was summer or winter as we always asked for porridge. My children get the choice of a three course breakfast. They always have fresh puree fuit (apple and banana) choice of cereal, normally coco pops, cruncrhie nut, etc, and toast with soft spread. Saturdays they have a choice of jam, hunny or lemon curd on there toast. sundays the children have boiled egg and toasted soliders

I had all sorts of different things for breakfast as a child. I had warm stuff during the week too if mom had enough time to make it. We had cereal, grits, pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs, pop tarts, peanut butter toast, muffins...all kinds of different things on different days. It's kinda the same way now too. When I am able to fix something warm then I do but the rest of the time it's waffles or pancakes or pop tarts in the toaster or microwave. Sometimes I'll make muffins the night before and heat them up for us the next morning. So it just really depends on if I work that day or not as to what we all eat for breakfast. And on the weekends I always try to make something warm for us to eat.

until my later teen years my mother made us breakfast every week day and on the weekends my father would. I do not recall having cold cereal in the house very often till later on either. my father was great at making egg meals and usually would make either omeletes or fried eggs on the weekend. during the week we would have cream of wheat, french toast, egg in a hole, coffee cakes, pan cakes bagels etc.

We had to fix our own breakfast but in the winter my mother always fixed oatmeal, cream of rice, or wheateena (sp?_) well it was horrible to me but my brother loved it..lol..sometimes we had pancakes or French toast with lots of butter and maple syrup..and bacon..sometimes eggs as we lived on a farm and had lots of eggs. Cereal was something we also had a lot of and it was cold ceral and we always had our favoriates..i hated wheaties, but preferred puffed rice and Captain Crunch..lol

i use to eat shredded wheat ceral as a child and still do off and on now

When I stayed with my Nan as a child she would give me sugar sandwiches for breakfast! Now I don't eat breakfast very often..the 2 are probably related in some way. I used to love eating grapefruit for breakfast but my absolute favourite has to be a nice big fry up when im hungover!
