Whats bubble kix?
Smoked back bacon, poached eggs, not overdone, toast (hate fried bread), tomato, I like fried cherry tomatoes if you get served big ones they're generally hard so you can't spread them on your toast!

Bubble has been answered marvellously.

Apart from the obvious full english / scottish / irish breakfast, the best breakfast I ever had...

The Mexican classic - Huevos Rancheros - fried eggs with a big chili kick. Popular in LA etc.



The basic dish consists of fried eggs served upon lightly fried corn tortillas topped with a tomato-chili sauce. Refried beans, Mexican-style rice, slices of avocado, or guacamole are common accompaniments.

What's wrong with a bacon sandwich with some brown sauce?

I'm choosing English, Malaysian, Thai and Venezualan. Also the alleged Welsh breakfast of cheese on toast. Has the writer been watching Bill Bailey?
40+ years in Canada and not once did wee ever have what's shown on that website. I was raised on porridge or Red River cereal in winter and corn flakes in summer. Mind you, my parents had 10 kids to feed, so porridge was a cheap option. I would say bacon & eggs would be much more traditional Canadian breakfast than perogies! FFS! Who makes this shit up?

My Polish friend said the potato cakes shown are more of a dinner staple than a breakfast thing.

The article is making me hungry though. Shame i cant get a full english anywhere in qatar.

Available in a Cheesecake Factory not too far from you.

I may have to go and stuff my face in there for a late breakfast/early lunch tomorrow.

I've never set foot in there... didn't fancy it... but now you mention they serve this I may have to reconsider!

Still a lot of washing up

I also don't think I eat that much during the course of the whole day, let alone breakfast.

The washing up is an issue thats the downside. This was the first meal i had in 24 hours and probably wont eat until tommorow brunch.

You might be pleasantly surprised, especially by the breakfast offerings. Just bear in mind that the portions are HUGE!

All of the different breakfasts from around the world sound fantastic.

But, all the time I lived in AD my breakfast usually consisted of a Natures Valley cereal bar and an apple in the staffroom.
