Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Over on my personal blog, I played a game with my readers, and one of the questions that I asked them was about their breakfast preferences: Do you prefer savory or sweet?
A long time ago, I wouldn't have eaten anything other than pancakes, waffles, or French toast dripping with sugared fruits, maple syrup, and whipped cream. These days, however, I find those types of breakfasts more like dessert than a way to start the day. Is it my old age? Who knows? Regardless, I absolutely love a delicious breakfast of eggs in any format, whether it's huevos rancheros, eggs Benedict, an omelet stuffed with cheese and vegetables or simple scrambled eggs.
Which do you prefer for breakfast: savory or sweet?

I've always MUCH preferred savoy breakfasts, but after a few months ago, when I tried a friend's Banberry Pancakes here (http://www.pollyspies.com/Pancake_Menu.pdf) I immediately discovered that I've been missing some pretty awesome breakfasts.

Crispy bacon, salty ham, eggs benedict...anything of that nature will do.

Last night's leftover pizza is the best, but Mexican food (and by the way, bitter and picante, such as hot bitter coffee with picante desayunos is definitely an adult taste, but goes together as well as sweet and sour do) or southeast Asian or Chinese are also good. Beef and bitter melon. Beef Rendang. Sometimes I am out the door early and hit McDucks for a sausage egg McMuffin and coffee. Don't care much for omelets or other egg dishes, still less pancakes, waffles, French toast or any of that other froufrou stuff. Huevos rancheros are something I will settle for, but I'd rather have dinner food.

you don't overdo it.

8-05-2007 @10:11PM Miana said... Savory and simple! My perfect breakfast would be a bit of Serrano, cheeses, and a baguette... maybe a bit of smoked fish. (More of an afternoon snack, but my idea of a perfect breakfast nonetheless.)

French toast doesn't have to be sweet, anyway- I prefer it with salt & pepper.

8-06-2007 @4:28AM JimLad said... Savoury. A proper brekkie should be soss, egg, bacon, beans, fried slice, black pudding, mushies, bubble, toast, large tea.
