My mother says that the secret to a poached egg is to add a drop of white vinegar (another use for Geoff, aside from cleaning the coffee pot) to the water so that the egg won't sink. Don't know how true that is, but she does make a very nice poached egg. Hmmm I read someplace the vinegar was to hold the egg white together, but it is definitely part of making good poached eggs. Speaking of which (and this is not necessarily a breakfast thing) but poached eggs on cooked spinach is delicious.

I just invented a new breakfast (new, for me, at least). I bought some wraps (those flat pieces of "bread" that you can roll up into a sandwich) yesterday. I realized this morning (while trying to decide on breakfast) that these wraps are the same size as my large frying pan ... ... instant idea!  I made an omelette with some bacon and swiss cheese and transferred it to the wrap, added a touch of ketchup and salt & pepper and rolled it up. It was pretty good, if I say so myself.

I find that the best breakfasts are served in Diners.
I had a great breakfast in a diner near Harrisburg Pa in May... a real heart stopper...bacon, eggs, toast and a side order of creamed chipped beef (aka S.O.S.) Please tell me where if you can remember. I've probably been there. My in-laws own a restaurant between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, and they are well known in the area for their outstanding breakfasts. My all-time favorite is a ham and cheese omelette, home fries- hot and crispy, and rye toast. They offer Italian toast, which is a delight by itself. In central PA- PA Dutch country, a lot of the German favorites are available. Has anyone ever had baked oatmeal, which is great in the Winter. It has eggs, a little sugar and other tasty ingredients. It's unique.

Good and Plenty Amish Restaurant in PA Dutch country. The Best Fried Chicken that I've ever had! As for breakfasts, there used to be this little place right near Harrisburg that we used to go to called The Dutch Pantry. They made some of the best home made country breakfasts that I've ever had!

As for breakfasts, there used to be this little place right near Harrisburg that we used to go to called The Dutch Pantry. They made some of the best home made country breakfasts that I've ever had! I know them both. Good and Plenty is, I believe, family style. Dutch Pantry sadly is no more, to the best of my knowledge. It was kind of a local chain that had good food. The last one that I remember was located about a mile from my house and closed around 1996. believe it or not, I had several meals there, but never breakfast. My loss.

Good and Plenty is, I believe, family style. Thats what I remember.... you'd share a long table with strangers and eat some of the freshest stuff you'll ever be able to order. A few soft scrambled eggs with some scrapple and fresh home fries was my usual fare there. One of the places there (in the heart of Amish country) had this huge statue of an Amish farmer outside of it. Anyone remember the name of this place?

I can picture it, but the name escapes me. It was a painted statue, wasn't it? I'll try to find out the name of the place. The Amish community recently made the news here a year after the tragedy, in which several young girls were gunned down in a school house. Others are left with substantial permanent injuries. They have contributed a significant portion of funds donated to them for the family of the killer.

I've never eate there, but I have seen many roadside billboards and signs. That giant Amish guy must be related to Bob's Big Boy.

Ok, here's an example of a difference between East/West when it comes to some foods.  I love bagles and cream cheese. Yet, I would venture to guess that if you asked most Californians what Lox was they wouldn't know. Do they have lox here? I'm sure they do. I couldn't tell you where to by it (them) though.  To be honest, I know I've been told what lox is but can't remember. A fish??? Ok, laugh but hey I don't get out much. TIS
