What are the traditional breakfast foods of your ethnicity/heritage?

I’m 1/2 French Canadian and we do love our “Petit pain” and pastries in the morning along with coffee.

not really
most the meals are pretty much the same

I’m American so old fashioned oatmeal, Cream of Wheat and eggs, lots of farm eggs cooked every which way you can think of.

When I was growing up, I could count on having the following either at home or at the grandparents’ house:

Bacon or sausage
Scrambled eggs
Biscuits
Sliced fresh tomatoes (mostly in the summer)
River potatoes as my dad called them because his dad made them when they would camp on the Guadalupe River (they are french fry cut potatoes fried with onions, best doused in tons of ketchup)

Oh and I can’t forget salsa on the eggs. Yum.

Good ole Steel cut oats

Grits, eggs, salmon croquettes, ham, bacon, buttermilk biscuits, pancakes, fried potatoes.

My maternal grandparents were from the Southern US (Alabama and Arkansas) and I grew up eating these foods, even though I’m a stone Yankee.

My paternal grandfather emigrated from Lithuania in 1888. His breakfast of choice was a chunk of kosher salami, a shot glass of schnapps (brandy) and a glass of tea. He used to put a chuck of rock sugar between his teeth, pour the hot tea into the saucer in order to cool it, and then suck the tea in over the sugar.

I was so fascinated by this as a small child that if any of his five sons or my grandmother and aunt ever ate breakfast, I never noticed.

(Now that’s a good use of “suck.”)

Corned Beef Hash. Saucisschen Sausages.

I love breakfast foods; there are so many great options. French toast, chocolate chip pancakes, blueberry muffins, BLT hash browns, eggs benedict, omelettes, quiche, sausage links, fruit salad, grits, oatmeal, coffee cake, lox and bagels.

Yum!

I don’t really have a specific heritage – I’m a mutt of about 14 different ethnicities, and I love pretty much all breakfast food.

When I was little, my grandfather (who was very Irish) would always make me green eggs and green french toast for St. Patrick’s Day – not authentically Irish, I know, but he loved cooking them and I loved eating them!

I forgot to mention my ethnicity/heritage as that is the meat of the Q. I’m white and Texan. yes, Texan is a heritage ;)

Kellog’s Pop Tarts. That’s what dear old grandma used to serve me.

I’m not sure…... the usual stuff, like toast and eggs, oatmeal…..nothing strange.
