An oyster omelet, known as a Hangtown Fry!
You know what I've always wondered? (Gonna tell you whether you do or not!)
Why don't so-called "ethnic" restaurants in the USA -- Chinese, Italian, Mexican, etc. -- open earlier and feature breakfast menus? Is their idea of breakfast so close to ours in the USA that it's simply a case of "Why bother?"
I have several readers outside of the USA. Maybe they can answer that question for me if my "home-grown" readers can't.
I'd look it up myself, if I wasn't feeling so damned lazy today... hence the uncharacteristically short post.
Thanks for your time.
It was early in the morning and I was feeling kinda hungry on the day I decided to re-post this one...
ReplyDeleteI've only traveled overseas twice, and both times my destination was Turkey. Their breakfast was typically a variety of white cheeses (LOTS of cheeses), cucumbers, tomatoes and olives. Sometimes there were eggs and a dried beef sausage, but I remember the cheeses, cukes, and tomatoes at every meal, regardless of what else was served.
ReplyDeleteI've been told that in a lot of countries, their breakfast is often like their meals at other parts of the day.
DeleteConsidering the last time I ate out was 6 years and 5 months ago, I think I'll go with, "no idea."
ReplyDeleteSix years, five months, and gee... How many days, hours and minutes? Heh. How the hell do you remember a thing like that?
DeleteI find that there are breakfast foods offered at some ethnic restaurants but maybe not under the heading of a formal breakfast menu. For example, eating out, I've had huevos rancheros, rice pooridge, and complimentary bread, all of which I consider acceptable breakfast food.
ReplyDeleteHm. Never noticed that. Sounds like an interesting alternative.
DeleteHere breakfast are more siumple : Coffe or tea with toasts with jam or butter or honey (I love with butter and honey) others love egg with ham or only eggs. My son eat honey cereal with greek yogurt and sometimes toasts with butter.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I ate some fruits in the morning (pears apples or others)
I usually think of eggs and cereal as being foods that are geared more toward breakfast.
DeleteYes I think so
DeleteI think breakfast habits are different outside the U.S. The Continental Breakfast is now available at most hotels today. Offering coffee, tea, bagels and muffins. I know when I travel I always look for at least a Continental Breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure that answers your question, but I thought I would give you a bit of feedback ;)
Have a good week Silver
My mom and I went to Cancun in 2002, and our hotel offered a breakfast buffet that was incredibly similar to what one would find in restaurants here in the USA. But I was under the impression that the menu was geared to cater to the many American tourists.
DeleteI think one of my favorite breakfast was in Rio de Janeiro.in Brazil. Lots of fresh fruits and toasts with butter and little caked and the most delicious coffe.
ReplyDeleteBrazil has delicious coffe.
I really love coffee!
