50 Breakfasts From Around The World



In America, we love cereal and eggs and bacon, but every other country has their own classic breakfast and while some seem a little strange, others, like this English breakfast look utterly delicious. Learn what 50 other places eat for breakfast over at the link.

A full English is absolute heaven, but hash browns are certainly not part of it! They're a recent Americanism only served at pretty poor establishments... what's more black pudding isn't optional, toughen up!

I'm sorry, I have only ever had hash browns with my English breakfast on holiday.

I've never been served hash-browns anywhere else - they tend to be seen as an American invention in the UK.

And where's the black pudding? Or even the white pudding?

As someone who has lived all his life in the UK, it's nice to see I'm not the only one that thinks beans for breakfast is weird. But you do see it a lot. You see the hash browns a lot, too (and I for one welcome our US breakfast invaders).

Black pudding has not, I suspect, made it as far as the southern parts of the UK as yet. Shame.

They left off scotch-eggs...when I visited Edinburgh they served it...basically a soft-cooked egg wrapped up with sausage and served with a chunky tomato sauce...yum

English breakfast doesn't have hash brown potatoes. They have tomatoes. Their bacon tastes totally different than U.S. bacon. Tastes a bit "off" but I think it's because English bacon doesn't have so much salt and preservatives like the U.S.

Bacon, half cooked eggs, beans, tomatoes and toast. Maybe mushrooms... And the best hot tea in the world.

You can go a couple hundred miles and breakfast will be different. Once in New Jersey, the waitress asked me which I wanted: hash browns or potatoes.

In the confusion of my life, I always thought that hash brown were potatoes.

@Sandyra again it depends who cooks the english breakfast. Some cook their eggs until the yolks are solid (yuk) others do them sunny side up with runny yolks (the right way). Toms? Always. Mushrooms? Likewise. Baked beans? Often. Fried bread? Wouldn't be breakfast without it. But hash browns? I didn't even know what they were until I was offered them in the US thirty years ago.

As for our bacon. Most of the bacon you get it Britain today has too much salt and too many preservatives and too much water. It tends to come from Holland or Denmark. It's not nice. You can still get proper british bacon though, smoked for preference.

Tea? Please no. Coffee outsells tea in britain and has done for some time. Tea is for the old folks.

The Full Scottish, really does not have Haggis. It does however have Lorne sausage, a square flat version of the tubular staple,and a tattie scone, which was present in the pic but not mentioned. Tattie Scones, or potato scones are marvellous and a standard item in a FSB.

The Irish breakfast, or rather the Northern Irish Breakfast (The Ulster Fry) should be tried at least once in your life, probably the last thing you will ever try. But what a way to go.

There are blends of the different strains, in Liverpool England, a very Irish city, they actually have a weird meatloaf style thing,cut into strips that is called Ulster Fry but is not to be confused with THE Ulster Fry.

Suffice to say there is a reason for the appalling mortality rates between Scotland northern England and Ireland.

Mmmmmm Mortality.
