Love toaster pizzas for breakfast of any time really

I didn’t think it was weird but when I put lox on my bagel one of my coworkers gagged and asked “ugh how can you eat fish for breakfast?”

Which is rich considering her people invented scrapple.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nah, your coworker's weird. That shit slaps.

By the 1950s, 'bagels and lox' had become an insult—a disparaging term used by Jewish immigrants to describe their counterparts who had become too American.

Peanut butter sandwich with mustard.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think this counts as unconventional at all times of day.... and night.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

The question could be read either way.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Yuck, have an upvote haha

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

What deeeee fuk?

What type of mustard?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I don't tend to use Dijon for this, but most types of brown mustard or spicy mustard go well. Also other vinegary condiments such as chimichurri or cilantro chutney.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

You are a wild one that's for sure. Is it the peanut butter vinegary tang? Would you put pickles in your peanut butter? Or maybe kimchi?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

It's salty fats dressed with acid, that's exactly right.

When I lived in Chicago, mom-and-pop Mexican stores were a stone's throw from one another, take your pick. Also, they opened early to cater to laborers.

Real Mexican for breakfast? I would kill to have that back.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

The Mexican places here make breakfast chilaquiles with yesterday's leftover chips!

I'll be revealing my nationality with this one, but Wheatbix and Milo (chocolate malt usually for milk drinks) is something apparently no one else I've met has.

Before I moved away from dairy entirely, I couldn't stand the taste of plain cow's milk and adding Milo helped with the wheatbix severely.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

And in winter, put your weetbix and Milo in the microwave for 45 seconds to make it nice and warm. A little bit of cinnamon and sugar helps too.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Aww yisss. Weetabix just barely sopping in the milk and then nuked to brown-sugar-ready perfection while it sponges up the rest.

I'll do that with regular (1%) milk right outta the bag. 🇨🇦

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I'm a long long way from my place of birth, and one day a coworker gave me a tin of Milo she'd picked up on her travels but didn't like. I ate it dry, in spoonfuls, almost sobbing with nostalgia.

Also, Wheatbix, ahhh. Weetabix is a miserable con artist of a breakfast cereal. It's for feeble people with bad teeth.

As some one who dœsn't believe in "breakfast" , list of things I've eaten in the morning :

  • Potato crisps
  • Chow mein nꝏdles
  • Hambourghers
  • Pizza
  • Crackers
  • Cup ramen
  • Cake
  • Popcorn
  • Mac cheese
  • Maybe some others but don't remember
[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
  • Cake
  • Candy
  • Chicken wings
  • Steak
  • Fried chicken
  • Pie
  • Ice Cream
  • Tacos
  • Burritos
  • Chili

And probably much more over the years. I don't actually eat breakfast that often to begin with. If I want breakfast food, I'll eat it whenever I want.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Hambourghers

Cournerstoune ouf any nouutriciouus breakfast.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Whatever leftovers are on hand, but my favorites are noodle dishes like pancit bihon, pho (a normal breakfast but not here in the US), or Singapore curry noodles.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Pho. I have a pot every morning.

Leftover Chinese food warmed up in the microwave

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

This makes it sound like microwaving it is what makes it unconventional. 😆

Cold Irish stew while shitfaced by the cold but beautiful glow of the fridge light.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

At this point, i'm just happy there's food

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Pickled herring. Or soused herring. Or really, any kind of cold fish.

Rice. I know it's common in Asian countries but absolutely not where I'm from.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Unless it’s Krispie

My grandma used to eat leftover rice with a little milk and sugar for breakfast. Kinda like oatmeal.

Breakfast is my favorite meal, though I don't eat it very early, so I'm more likely to eat breakfast stuff for lunch or supper, than the other way around.

But leftover reheated pizza is so good for breakfast.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

As an American, this is the most American thing I've ever heard.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Y'all hardly have a monopoly on cheesecake

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

But the unhealthy eating habits are decidedly American.

I love a Greek salad for breakfast. Eating salad as the first meal of the day makes me feel energetic, without the heavy, achy feeling that meat and bread-based foods give me.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Do grits count? Grits with as close to an entire stick of hot butter as someone will let me have.

Probably not the weirdest by a long shot, but I absolutely love having leftover dinner for breakfast because I'm not a big breakfast food fan.

One of my favorites is if there's leftover homemade mac and cheese, I'll take some and heat it. Then I'll put some on a tortilla and then add ketchup. Roll it up and I will gladly devour it.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I only like sweet breakfast. Cereal, cookies, choc pancakes, cakes etc Not healthy but otherwise I won't eat breakfast

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My wife and I don't eat traditional "American" breakfast at all, it's always either refried beans, some kind of Indian curry, or protein and fried rice. PBJ is supplemental otherwise.

Oh man you are a visionary.

I can’t believe I never thought it suitable to just eat cheese cake for breakfast. Or any cake for that matter!

Seems obvious now that it’s been said, but never occurred to me prior seeing this. That’s a bit sad honestly, that I’ve become so reserved and “traditional” with my morning meals.

Edit: well just to answer the actual question so as not to waste space in the thread unnecessarily, the one thing I’d consider a bit more unconventional in my habits is just eating boiled eggs with nothing else. A cup of coffee and some 3 eggs, nothing else. I guess it’s not that strange, but I’ve got some funny looks when people are visiting or for example starting dating with someone, and I happen to do this.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Whenever I'm talking to a little kid and they start trying to joke me, I normally reply with the "oh yeah. Well I can go and eat cake for breakfast or dinner if I want." That usually shuts them down.

For the confused they are normally related through family or friends. I'm not just going out to the playground to start trash talking a kid. They normally are just being kids and start making jokes.
