There was an interesting show on FoodTV tonight, "The Secret Life of Breakfast", it seems that most of the world see it as a snack than a meal. Italians just have "cafe e biscoti" (coffee and some sort of hard cookie/bread/biscuit), the French, coffee and croissant, danish have toast, jam, and a hot drink, but we seem to have toast, potatoes, bacon, meats, etc. I wonder if it was 1950s/60s marketing, or what thats all about... I personally never eat in the morning, probably because i get up at 9-10am, but by noon I am hungry and its usually toast, coffee, juice. That being said, I LOVE breakfast, I just never have it at breakfast, if I am lucky and on vacation I will have it closer to lunchtime. When I have "breakfast" its usually on a sunday and if i hit a diner I get it all, hashbrowns, eggs, meat, pancakes, etc. Otherwise, I eat breakfast once every 2-3 months. I guess I am just not a morning person and prefer to have my heaviest meal at sundown!

I don't know what food program I was watching but often they drank beer for breakfast because it wasnt as strong as wine but safter than drinking the water... maybe a beer or wine for lunch but never for breakfast for me!

I saw some taylor ham on sale today in the supermarket... Every once in awhile I crave the salty goodness, but I passed on it, because i just want it like once a year, not enough to eat every few days for 2 weeks... I bought enough potatoes and onions today (actually free with coupons) to make enough hashbrowns that I wouldn't normaly eat in a year!! Time to get out the cast iron skillets!

Well, being nocturnal, I don't normally wake until 9-10am, and I am never hungry when I wake, so by the time I do get hungry, like noon, most places are done serving breakfast. I know diner's do, but my heaviest meal tends to be dinner, not lunch. When i am on vacation, I never sleep in because its vacation, I like to enjoy it! So thats the best, when you wake up and then go out for breakfast, the problem is, then I have to skip lunch... I just can't eat that often though I would love to!
I got a slab of corned beef brisket for St. Pats day, and you know the leftovers are going to be for corned beef hash -- breakfast is inevitable next week!

Grits are disgusting like pickles. Ouch, Miggie. Fish and grits for Miggie?
