Pancakes, Waffles, Crepes or French Toast...?

[Justin B]

I'm of the mind that pastries alone are not a proper breakfast. As a part of, to include: Eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns/grits, fruit, and milk. I know, people complain they don't have time for a breakfast like that...I say get out of bed earlier.

 

[MisterCairo]

No donuts? lol

Every real Canadian knows that donuts are lunch foods!

 

[Aristaeus]

As far as the list, buttermilk pancakes with butter and maple syrup.
My favorite is homemade biscuits with sausage gravy, eggs over easy, hash browns, bacon, and every now and then grits.

I agree Justin We have something close to that breakfast on the weekends. No grits (wife eats those during the week) and no bacon. 3 eggs each for my wife and I, hashbrowns, sausage, and biscuits. To be healthy, we have turkey sausage, the hashbrowns are cooked in the Nuwave oven with a bit of oil to fry them, and the 6 eggs have 2 egg whites mixed in.
If I'm going to have a pastry, I usually include a protein.

Forget time, I don't have the stomach for that kinda stuff in the morning*. A couple cookies, some toast, or a pastry along with a healthy amount of coffee is about all I want. If I get up really early (before 6) then a bit of seltzer water becomes a necessity. I don't know why, but it makes mornings easier.

If I am sleeping in and doing a brunch kinda deal, then the English/American breakfast might make an appearance, but generally I prefer continental. I will have a big meal at 1 or so for lunch.

*except fruit. Fruit is always welcome, any time of day or night.

Agreed. I'm usually not hungry enough for a big, protein-packed breakfast, despite the fact that breakfast should theoretically be your biggest meal. It's the first meal of the day so it's unlikely you won't later spend whatever energy you put in by eating it; that is, your body could make good use of a big breakfast. A guy I knew who said he hiked across England back in his day said he ate heavier breakfasts in the northern part of the country, because apparently that's what they like to eat up there, and that it made his hike harder in the morning, the heavy food weighing him down, but by the afternoon he was hiking at his fastest pace ever because he had the energy to do it.

I ate Eggos again today... they're really rather light, but I have this supposedly odd way of eating them (or so I'm told it's odd). I like to spread peanut butter on them. Besides being delicious, it does add some weight, fat, and protein to an otherwise very light meal. You could probably make a pretty decent PB&J with those waffles instead of bread.

Just made 'em this morning: pancakes with butter and No. 1 grade light maple syrup. (No.1 medium is good too).

 

[I Adore Film Noir]

Waffles, please, Belgian with real maple syrup and butter. No whipped cream, no fruit.

My favorite brunch item is Eggs Benedict.

 

[1961MJS]

Hi

Pancakes first (of these), Waffles second, and French Toast third. I don't LIKE French toast, don't hate it either. Pancakes with real butter and real maple syrup are great. Bagels with regular cream cheese are great, but Breakfast SHOULD always consist of cinnamon rolls and coffee.

Later

 

[Zeropositive]

Chinese French toast!!

 

[TCMfan25]

On the list..... Crepes.

Not on the list..... Corn Chip Beef, two pieces of Rye Toast with butter, eggs sunny side up with a dollop of HP Fruity, a tall glass of OJ, and a cup of English Breakfast milk no sugar... or a FULL English Breakfast.

 

[TCMfan25]

In a hurry? Everything Bagel with Salmon Cream Cheese, or Regular with Smoked Salmon! I want another breakfast now .

 

[Black Dahlia]

My favourtie, crepes. Followed by French Toast. I'm lukewarm about waffles.

PS now I'm VERY hungry!

 

[Roving_Bohemian]

Pancakes with maple syrup, Waffles with butter and jam, crepes with some type of berry jelly, and French Toast with powdered sugar and lemon juice. (a few drops only, just enough for flavour)

As has been mentioned, these aren't the only things on the menu, just the things of this category...
Donuts and bagels have always been more something I enjoyed with coffee on a cold winter morning, before I get around to getting up and making breakfast for the family... [that's another good thing about waking early when the rest of your family gets up late... that and posting on TFL!]

 

[Gregg Axley]

I haven't had French Toast since I was a kid...
Pancakes (with real blueberries), then waffles if I were to buy a waffle iron.
Crepes, ah those take too much time for me, I'd rather do omeletes. LOL

 

[olive bleu]

Waffles..piled with berries and cream, and drizzled with Maple Syrup.
But, i love french toast, too..again with maple Syrup

 

[Steven180]

Big, thick, cake-like Belgian waffles served simply with fruit and freshly whipped cream.

I'm with rue on the close second...chocolate filled croissants with a nice cup of coffee.

:eeek: I hope that's not the case. Hopefully though if you do, you can find gluten free recipes for them.
