People around the world belonging to different cultures and ways of life have different kinds of food. Breakfast time as well. For me, when I have breakfast, cereal, such as corn flake, is a favorite. I take cereal with plenty of milk every morning. What would it be in your country or culture ? What is your favorite item when you have breakfast ?

I like oatmeal with milk for breakfast. it's very healthy and good for the heart. Sometimes I also have bread or noodles. My breakfast isn't complete without a cold malted chocolate drink.

Five days of the week I eat dry cereal with raisins, cranberries and dates. I add bananas every other day to it. On Saturdays its usually pancakes. My favorite breakfast is On Sundays when I eat eggs and bacon with toast and tea.

Hi Lelin and Kathy. Good morning to you. It is always nice to start off the day with a nice breakfast, indeed. Pancakes ! That's great, with lots of butter and honey !

EGGS! with RUNNY yolk! lightly poached number one, but I'll take them sunny side up as well. But DO NOT make the yolk hard! And served with whole wheat toast. Oatmeal is good too, with brown sugar or molasses, but not that bloody instant or two minute kind. (no, not that blood is in it ...) The best is the steel cut that takes thirty minutes to cook. "Old Fashioned" (that usually takes about five minutes) is OK, but it falls off my favorite list. It's on my tolerance list when no REAL oatmeal is available.

I really enjoy eating a yummy breakfast, but I don't get to very often. I love to have some scrambled eggs with cheese on top. And I love to have some sausage or bacon on the side, with a big glass of milk. That is my favorite breakfast, just thinking about it is making me hungry

Bacon and eggs, or sausages and eggs, I could never get used to it. Every morning at breakfast, and also at lunch time some times !

Dear greenline, This is a very interesting topic. My son is just like you. He too loves all kinds of corn flakes and cereals with milk for breakfast. I personally loves vegetables salad, toasted bread and fruit juice. However, as a Malaysian, we are spoilt with choices. I like to eat 'Nasi Lemak' (coconut milk rice with dishes) for breakfast. All the best and Happy New Year 2010

I haven't been much of a breakfast person in the past years... If at all I have breakfast, it's after my fasting day, and I eat Dosa.... in the morning. But that's not my favourite... When I was regularly having breakfast, I would only have bread toasted with cheese. That was my daily breakfast and I enjoyed it very much. That's my staple food you can say.. Ha ha.. I love bread toast with cheese and bananas also... and coffee is a must for me every day.

Bread toast with cheese sounds delicious, indeed. I am pretty much addicted to coffee too, drinking four or five cups a day, starting from breakfast time.

Well generally I know a lot of people who take rice, egg or ham for breakfast. Some also take coffee and toasted bread. In my case, I only drink coffee for breakfast. I am not on a diet. I just do not like to take any solid food for breakfast. Coffee is just good enough for me.

I see. Yes, different people have different preferences. Some just have very light breakfast.

My favourite has always been eggs with bacon. I haven't had that in a while. Most days I go into town early to work and the best thing there is a fry bake with fish. That's not bad either. I do love the smell of bacon and eggs early in the morning with freshly brewed coffee. Its a pity my schedule doesn't allow me such things so much anymore.

Yes, we have to adjust to the work schedules. Bacon and eggs is my favorite too. On weekends, I often have a variety of breakfast items.

Hi bart: looks that you have a delicious breakfast and at the same time healthy for your and thats something really important for your own good. I have to congratulate you for that and also I'd like to say the same you are saying but... well I'm always late so it's difficult for me to think about what to prepare for my breakfast. That's a pitty. Thanks for your answer. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take Care. -Alvaro.

HI green line: in my culture the most traditional item for our breakfast it's coffe and i must admit that i have been addicted to caffeine for ages but i have decide to left it and i replaced it with tea that is healthier i think. For me the most important thing in my breakfast is bread. There is always bread in my breakfast. Thanks for asking us this question. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take care. -Alvaro.

Good morning to you. I am pretty much addicted to coffee, drinking four or five cups a day, starting from breakfast time. I used to drink strong coffee. That's not so good for health, so recently I have changed to decaffinated coffee. I drink that with lots of milk, and sugar. Have a nice day !

I like bacon, the crisp and hot ones. I also like fried eggs, pancake and toasted bread. (hot morning pandesal here in our country) Add it up with orange juice and coffee. That's the best breakfast for me.

I drink orange juice every morning too. I like the taste, and that is a source of vitamin C too. Pancakes with lots of honey and butter ! Yummy, yummy !

I eat mostly cereal for breakfast because it is fast and easy, my favourites are Rice Krispies and Muesli, but I rarely eat the same cereal every day having 4 or 5 to choose from. When I do have time I enjoy scrambled eggs or fried eggs on toast, toast with fresh cheese or a dab of butter, french toast with cheese or cinnamon sugar. As a child I could eat crushed Marie biscuits in a bowl with chocolate milk every day, now I only like them with coffee. The only thing I have every day is a cup of water before breakfast and a cup of coffee sometimes two, the rest varies with the season.

Hi, greenline. My favorite would be, cheerios or shredded wheat cereal with blackberries, strawberries, red raspberries and blueberries mixed in it. I also like having bananas in my cornflakes or my cheerios. This is very wholesome to eat.

Good morning to you. How are you ? I see you like berries very much. That is very good. I have been told that berries have herbal values and good for health.

I like a scrambled egg for breakfast, myself. Occasionally, I will have Raisin Bran instead of the scrambled egg because I need to be on a high fiber diet. I also like to have wheat bread, half of a grapefruit, and a glass of water. In the summer, instead of the grapefruit, I will have 1/4 of a cantaloupe. Cantaloupe is one of my favorite fruits. Kathy.

Hi Kathy. Good morning to you. I like having fruits at breakfast time too. Fruit juice and fruits, alternatively. That's good for health too, source of vitamins.

Good morning. It is very interesting to learn about different cultures and traditions. Veggie dish with paratha ! I have tried the paratha breakfast during my visit to India, and I enjoyed that very much. Yes, with ghee !
