"Water?!" You'll rust your innards away! Same with that lifeless
water color (aka "tea").

Coffee, thick enough to use a fork please.

> and bring on that pork bacon (at 10am-ish) ;)

OMG! 10am? Half the morning's gone and all that daylight wasted! No
thank you, ma'am! I'll start pan-frying two pounds of thick-cut,
apple-wood smoked bacon a little after 7am so Clan Ranger'll take
advantage of the early morning 'traffic.' Nothing like solid
aromatherapy to motivate my preteens (and SWMBO) into action.

kili,

Yepper. We dinner-for-breakfast folks have to stick together!

Hot dogs with sauerkraut, potato chips and a Yoo-hoo. I wasn't very hungry.

That's not water; it's Cool Aid with Nutrisweet. <EG>

With all those aromatics, I'm sure the neighbors twelve miles
downwind are thinking pleasant thoughts, too. (I, OTOH, can no
longer handle garlic for breakfast unless I'm attempting to get out
of an ayem staff meeting.)

> kili <----- who doesn't do "traditional" breakfast foods

You're just EVIL(e), that's all. Bulk me up with three
cholesterol-laden eggs, over-starched hash browns, and
pork-fat-laden white breads and my morning is complete! (Oh yeah,
and I'll wash it all down with a French pressed French Roast.)
Heaven in a cup and on a plate.

Drinking a Yoo-hoo does double as an appetite suppressant. ;)

Water. It's a wonderful thing, but not with breakfast.

Usually I have coffee in the morning, often with yogurt/fruit/etc, but
if I have a 'real' breakfast like eggs and toast or french toast, etc, it's
got to be milk. So my answer is coffee or milk.

Pork bacon, to me that is the only kind. Can be shortened to bacon,
I don't know what that turkey stuff is, it ain't bacon. Nancy's rule #349.

Oh I forgot to mention hash browns when I suggested the survey to Cathy.
But I'm a bacon gal, all the way. Give me nice crispy bacon (baked, it
doesn't curl up that way, I wonder why that is?) But yes, nice crisply
(shredded) hash browns... YUM! I don't do that very often.

ROFL! You're right. I tried turkey bacon once, it was okay but it wasn't
BACON. What a silly idea!

Andy,

I can eat bacon and eggs - and other optional extras[1] at any time of
the day, except at the 'normally accepted' time. LOL. Color me different ;)

There is a diner chain (Maxies in our part of the world) that I will go
and eat at simply because they serve 'breakfast' all day. My kind of place!

[1] these may include: fried tomatoes, sauteed chicken livers, sauteed
mushrooms, hash browns, "bubble and squeak"... the list goes on...

nancy,

I've been caffeine-free for so long. There's a box of stale decaf green tea
in the pantry, about 2 years old. Water just became a WOL thing. I do
flavor it up with lemon.

Bacon is great stuff, agreed but sausage patties are SO much more
versatile! For example, you can be frying up the patties and at the last
minute make an executive chef decision and turn them into country gravy.

Wow! I'm shocked to see coffee grabbing just over a third of the
vote. Perhaps this survey should have included a country option to
give context to choices. A consideration for future surveys.

BTW, I've recently discoverd Pillsbury is now making breakfast sandwich
sized frozen biscuits. My latest fave is a biscuit sandwich with egg,
cheese, and a hotlink. Make that with coffee. Yum! ;)

My father liked pot roast in gravy over toast for breakfast.

I second the pork patties... but beverage is whatever I'm in the mood

The survey didn't ask what you eat for breakfast on a daily basis or
even if you eat breakfast daily... it asked what your meat preference
was. I prefer pork bacon. I don't eat it weekly, sometimes not even
monthly - but I *prefer* it over the other choices.

Same here for the tea. But I couldn't choose, as I like several
choices from the selection...depending on my mood. You only gave the
option for one choice...

nb, we have to teach you to make *real* homemade biscuits. They are
so much better than any of those that you can buy frozen.. Trust me
on this..I grew up in the south!!

In her new book, Baking: From My Home to Yours, Dorie Greenspan has
some lovely biscuits. And on top of that, she has a recommendation
for freezing them before baking them. Maybe you could check her book
out of the library, and make your own frozen biscuits? They are just
so much better..and cheaper.....

Soda is not listed, I get my morning caffeine from Diet Mountain Dew. I
also don't typically eat meat for breakfast, as I bring it with me to
work. So it's a bagel, fruit, yogurt, that sort of thing.

For the first time, my choice wasn't listed in EITHER question. I like
chocolate milk at breakfast, and my preferred breakfast meat is a smoked
pork chop. Or maybe corned beef hash, depending on my mood.

In a restaurant, though, I always get milk AND coffee AND fruit juice at
breakfast. If I'm feeling a bit fragile in the morning, I might have tea
instead of coffee.

The first time I went to Korea, I had to ride a bus part of the way on my
daily commute to work. Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like an
early-morning bus ride where seven-eighths of the passengers ate kimchee for
breakfast.

But if you REALLY want to get out of that meeting, have chilaquiles with
beans for breakfast!

Lack of quality sleep the night before, illness, or hangover. I've only
rarely leaped out of bed eager to face the day; I tend to move more slowly
for at least a few minutes -- and if that lethargy persists into breakfast
I'll have tea instead of coffee.

Oh c'mon, Chris ....and what's with this fully qualified name
thingie?.... I've done the whole authentic "Southern biscuit" schtick.
Crisco, buttermilk, soft flour (martha white, white lilly, etc), yada
yada. I even lived in TN for two years! I know how to make good
biscuits. But, it's only me. I'm not going to whip up a "mess o'
biskits" when I only want one. Sorry, but I'm a lazy so-and-so.

Somewhere, buried deep in my ancient soon to be tossed vhs tapes, I
have a tv recording of some guy who made it to cook show fame for a
few episodes and is making "authentic" Southern biscuits. Even
better, he invites his 80 something year old mother on to make sure
he's doing it right. It's hilarious. She still treats him like an
eight year old and he still plays the part. She's all over him about
how to make those damn biscuits. "Now don't work 'em too hard. Yer
gonna ruin 'em". It's a total hoot. ;)
