Ethnic Breakfast

[Chesterton]

Do they have a dinner course as well?

Yes.

That does sound different from where I am. I forgot about Japanese omelettes. They like them fluffy. I saw a video where this chef made one so fluffy, laying on the plate it was about 6 inches tall.

Have you ever tried Japanese pancakes? They're super fluffy. I love them.
Extra thick and fluffy Japanese pancakes

Anyone ever had black pudding? It's a traditional breakfast food in the British Isles. Sort of a blood sausage, but made with mostly with grains rather than meat. Think of grits, mixed with pork or beef blood, formed into thick round slices, and fried. I tried one bite. It was grainy and starchy, with a vague iron/metallic taste. Not totally inedible, but nothing I'd want to eat again.​

Never have. That's one fat pancake in the pic, lol.

Yeah, I'll think I'll pass on that.

So what are some typical Korean breakfast items?

A typical Korean breakfast, based on the people I've chatted with, includes rice and/or noodles, kimchi, and possibly some kind of cooked meat (for example, bulgogi).

That's sounds like lunch or dinner, also. I've always been curious why breakfast stuff here is generally different from what we have at other meals. And like, there's such a thing as "breakfast sausage". What magic ingredient turns regular sausage into "breakfast sausage"? lol.

I've tried it! I ate it, my dad asked me if I liked it, I said I did. Then he told me what it was, lol. I had no clue. It looked like hash browns or something. Yeah it's not something I would order but I don't feel scarred for life for having eaten it, lol. He also tricked us into eating haggis, lol. My sister loved it.

Kimchi! Rice. Breakfast banchans are great but they use a lot of garlic so you have to plan for it so you can brush your teeth b4 you go into public, lol.

It's my understanding that haggis can't be legally sold in the US. Anything containing lung tissue is illegal for human consumption.

I've heard that haggis is properly served with "whiskey sauce." Which is a couple of shots of Scotch poured over it. Fortifying oneself with copious amounts of Scotch is probably the only way anybody can eat it.

Ok well I didn't know till just now that it had lung tissue in it. I was little then, like 7 so I don't think fortifying ourselves with Scotch was the way to go, lol. It was served as a sandwich called a toastie. It really didn't look that different from a normal sandwich. We're American but live in Canada. Idk if it's sold here! I remember it was sold in cans in Scotland. We never tried it but I saw it. I've only tried Scotch once. I think I liked the blood sausage better, lol.

Not allowed for Christians.

Per Acts 15.20, we are to avoid meat that is strangled (which cannot be properly drained of blood) and from ingesting blood.

Kimchi!

I like kimchi (i have a Korean aunt) but not for breakfast.

 

[FireDragon76]

In many cultures breakfast is not an important meal. This is still typical in many European countries. They eat things like bread and cheese. The main meal of the day is usually what we think of as lunch.

Huevos Rancheros--at any time. But that goes for anything Mexican--or just plain hot, no matter the nationality!

 

[Arcangl86]

I do think it's just that most people don't associate most ethnic cuisines with breakfast, but for some reason, people are very aware of Mexican breakfast dishes like huevos rancheros.

 

[jacks]

intl = international? What kind of international places serve breakfast?

That's what the "I" is for in IHOP and they certainly serve breakfast.

 

[Dave-W]

I do think it's just that most people don't associate most ethnic cuisines with breakfast, but for some reason, people are very aware of Mexican breakfast dishes like huevos rancheros.

That is due to a sizable population in the US of families with ties back to Mexico.

The old joke is if you slip and fall at IHOP, you have to sue them in the World Court at The Hague.

Breakfast in the UK is not very good. It's worth a try a few times just to try ethnic food, but...blood pudding and haggis. Bleh.

I find Scandinavian breakfast AWESOME, but quite different from American. Think herring, onions, and capers. If they were trying to be easy on the stomach, they failed miserably.

I had an ex whom when she was growing up, they had a family recipe they called "daddy eggs". Apparently, her household didn't know any Spanish...if you brought that up with someone who knows a little Spanish, that brings...slightly different imagery to mind.
