I don't eat. I run on thoughts, prayers, and the power of friendship.

I love a nice breakfast burrito.

[-] jobbies@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 days ago

Ooh. What goes in the burrito?

Egg, potato, cheese, chorizo, hatch green chile, wrapped in a large tortilla. If you're not a green chile guy, grab some red chile powder and make some red chile sauce and pour that on everything right before rolling.

Anxiety and despair

[-] CaptSatelliteJack@lemy.lol 14 points 5 days ago

I am genuinely floored by how many people here are claiming to actually eat breakfast. Tf is all the chia pudding bananas toast eggs shit??? For me, and everyone I know, breakfast is a special occasion for days off. My wife and I make breakfast maybe 10 times a year. I've always heard Lemmy's average age is on the higher end, and this thread has confirmed it for me.

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Uh... you're shocked that people eat breakfast? That's so insane to me

[-] oascany@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

Well I mean you put oats in a jar overnight and take them to work or school in the morning. Easier still is keeping instant oats at work if you can. Breakfast is important man idk about skipping it everyday.

Maybe those who don't eat breakfast or eat nothing fancy don't feel motivated to comment so there could be some bias in the comments.

Nothing. Last thing on my mind in the morning is food.

Appetite usually kicks in the late afternoon/early evening, when I have my first and usually only meal.

The scraps of my children's uneaten breakfasts, so:

  • half an egg sandwich

  • the dregs of a bowl of oatmeal with maple syrup, mixed with whatever unsyruped oatmeal I can scrape out of the pot

  • about four apple slices and half a bagel

on days my spouse cooks breakfast. When I cook, everyone eats pancakes.

I don't generally eat breakfast. I honestly don't know how people do it, when I wake up the last thing I want to do is eat.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 17 points 6 days ago

We tend to eat breakfast using mouth

Usually nothing. When I do have breakfast it's either pancakes and eggs or milk and cereal. Every now and then I get a wild hair and have oatmeal.

Technically nothing, but I do have coffee at the office.

Except on Thursday. That's doughnut day.

Rather than tell you what I personally eat, maybe it will be useful to know what American diners serve for breakfast. You can walk into any locally-owned diner anywhere in the country and order from a menu almost exactly like this:

  • Breakfast Combo: Two eggs (scrambled, fried, or over easy/medium/hard), meat (bacon, sausage links, steak, or ham), and a carb (pancakes, toast, a biscuit, or hash browns)
  • Biscuits and Gravy: Two biscuits with sausage gravy over the top. Sometimes served with an egg.
  • Pancakes: A short stack is 2 and a tall stack is 4. Served with maple syrup.
  • Skillet/Omelet: Eggs scrambled with onions, bell peppers, cheese, and meat. An alternate version, sometimes called “loaded hash browns,” uses hash browns instead of eggs.
  • Breakfast Burrito: An omelet wrapped up in a tortilla. May be smothered with red or green chili sauce for a Tex-Mex spin.
  • Oatmeal: Boiled oats with fruit, granola, syrup, etc.
  • Eggs Benedict: Poached egg on an English muffin with ham and hollandaise sauce.

And then each diner will have their own “famous” specialty, like stuffed French toast, “home fries” (pan-fried potato chunks), huge pancakes, or sausage made in house. It’s hard to go wrong though, American breakfasts are consistently pretty tasty.

American Diner breakfasts are not anything like people's daily meals.

The amount of Americans in the comments who don't eat breakfast is shocking

[-] Soulcreator@programming.dev 10 points 5 days ago

As an American who doesn't eat breakfast, I'm curious why that is shocking to you?

I have to have a protein focused breakfast, so usually some form of eggs. I have a lot of crustless quiches, scrambled eggs, omelets. Good thing I like them so much!

If I ever develop an egg allergy I am completely fucked lol

[-] rockstarmode@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Weekdays: 5g psyllium husk, 5g creatine, 30g whey protein, double Turkish coffee, 1 liter of water.

Weekends: 3 thick cut slices of bacon, small potato grated and fried into hash browns, 2 eggs sunny side up, pour over coffee, in addition to the weekday supplements.

My wife eats oatmeal or a French omelette during the week, which I make. And something more hearty on the weekend, depending on her workout schedule.

Greek yogurt, walnuts, craisins, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, chia seeds, maybe cinnamon, maybe a dash of honey, possibly some frozen fruit if I feel like waiting for it to thaw a bit. Coffee with a dash of oatmilk.

A big heaping bowl of FASCISM!

No, actually, usually just a bowl of cereal. Sometimes eggs and/or bacon as well on weekends when there's more time.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Cigarette and THC vape normally. I don't feel hungry for the first several hours I'm awake

[-] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Last night's leftovers or oatmeal and fruit, usually. Maybe some toast or eggs depending on the mood. I'll occasionally go to the ma and pa diner down the street for some waffles or pancakes, but that's more of a treat than a real breakfast.

Edit: also coffee or tea. A strong irish breakfast with cream and honey is my favorite

[-] socsa@piefed.social 9 points 5 days ago

Used to be Coffee and cigarettes, but now it's just Coffee and shit posting.
