So I live in America, and I am SO BORED WITH eggs and toast!
I would love some recipes for breakfast from other places. What to they eat in Istanbul? What's boiling on the stove in Madagascar? How about Burma? What do people in Japan have with their tea, or do they drink coffee?
This includes <but is not limited to> variations on muselix, chai, coffee, dal, or rice porridge(konji) and whatever else you may have. Baked goods recipes are fine too.
Any anecdotes/stories you have would also be appreciated to accompany the recipe(the first time you had it, etc...) and enhance its 'flavor'.

Sat, December 25, 2004 - 12:48 AMI live in america too, I never eat bfast foods for bfast...I always eat soup. I make my own special kind of pho....low sodium, fat free, lots of veggies and no meat or anything.
Healthy, hot, high fiber......great start to the day
I use Kombu noodles (made from seaweed) so there also is no starch really...so it does not slow you down.
and an apple

Sat, April 30, 2005 - 8:55 PMThe best breakfast I ever had, and i have had numerous in numerous parts of the world, was at the H2O in Praha2 - Prague Czech Republic. Depending on your fancy they offer a variety of local breakfasts, bowls of Chai or Coffee, three egg omelettes or three sunnysiders with lean bacon, spicey sausage, toasts, breads , preserves and butter!
Every breakfast there is different even if you order the same thing you had the previous day! -

Tue, May 3, 2005 - 7:17 PMI was in Turkey, on the coast of the mediterranean sea, staying at George's B&B, looking over Butterfly (Kelebek) Valley. The breakfast I had there I will forever remember.
So, you get a couple of things layed out in front of you:
fresh fresh yogurt, balkan style
honey and another bowl of honey with dried cherries (from the local trees)
a bowl of diced green onions
a plate of potatoes (starch)
cut up apples (also from the local trees)
and lastly, eggs, scrambled and brought out
all this, without cutlery, gets mopped and wrapped up/in the super large piece of tortilla-like bread (that could be worn as a sarong) covering half the table...
it's so surprisingly fresh, light, and satifying,
They brought the food out until we had to plead for them to stop. the apparent polite thing for guests in Turkey.
A good bowl of miso soup is a nice way to start the day too.

Sat, July 30, 2005 - 1:31 AMOne of my favorites is in Sri Lanka, where little pancakes with chili-peppers in them are a breakfast staple. Picante is not a mode you encounter in breakfast in the States, unfortunately.

Sat, July 30, 2005 - 10:12 AMIn Kazakhstan the typical worker's breakfast is eggs too, but with deep fried breads stuffed with potatoes (Yummy!!) and very sweet tea.
My favourite breakfast foods, apart from cold pizza, is soup too or refried beans with rice and stewed tomatoes. -

Mon, October 31, 2005 - 5:40 AMmy fave breakfast is in malaysia, where they serve a doughy treat called roti canai. it is at once flaky and doughy, a delightful texture.
they serve it with curry (my choice) or sweetened condensed milk and sugar.
couldnt get enough. i have since paid 10X for said food in the bay area, as i havent been back to malaysia.
oh, my suggestion is to eat fruit or fruit salad in the a.m. not so hard on your body to digest, which can wear you down early in the day. fruit is lighter, more easily digested.

Tue, January 10, 2006 - 8:40 AMBreakfast in Yemen is a large flat bread (a bit like Chapati but way bigger) with spicy tomatoe+white beans+fenugreg+red peppers+cardamon+onions+garlic stew.
Quite nice with the garlic added last so they are still sharp. -

A good breakfast in Oaxaca::
tamales de amarillo and chocolate de agua, with pan de yema. YUUUM!
basically chicken and yello mole tamales wrapped in banana leaves, and a cold, forthy cacao drink. If it fits, fluffy, sweet "yolk bread" (tastes better than it sounds)
Or if you're hung over in chile, start the day with a mariscal: oysters, clams, mussels, and whatever other seafood's fresh that day, steamed in white wine -

Re: breakfast around the world
Tue, July 18, 2006 - 8:12 AMNepal: scrambled eggs with chopped red chillies mixed in, with chopped tomatoes that were almost as vicious as chillies - with chillies mixed in. Strangely, it was really nice! Well, as long as you didn't chew too much......
Istanbul: Small baguette, triangle of processed cheese (like a British Dairylea), tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, black tea. On roof of pension between Blue Mospque and Hagia Sophia, looking out over Bosphorus. Very good! -
