Yes clearly there's something very wrong with you..lol. I have to agree with sultan...american bacon & sausage = shite

No finer meal in this world than a full english

I am now so hungry after reading all of the above...

I can't have gluten (diagnosed a couple of years back) although I would love to cheat with a tall stack of fluffy buttermilk pancakes; Texas toast thick-sliced, buttered, and browned in a skillet; and baguette with proper butter and jam. Not to mention pastries.

Noorah your breakfast sounds fab - I have had "Greek-style" vegetables marinated along with some feta cheese - for breakfast - and it works. Now, where can I get sour cherry jam?

I usually skip breakfast, but when I do eat it, it's either migas or an omelette. There are several restaurants here that are open 24 hours and serve breakfast around the clock, and I like to eat breakfast in the middle of the night!

Nice with garlic and with some bbq pork

Very much so. Maybe not for breakfast, of course, but definitely an early lunch.

During the week - a cup of coffee for both of us

On a weekend - Grands flaky layers buttermilk biscuits....

On the one day off a month during the week that we get together without the smelly teenagers, we get up early and go to http://www.frischs.com/ for their all you can eat breakfast bar.....$6.99 each and DH always piles his plate up with biscuits and gravy, sausage, egg, bacon, ham, chicken... the full works, (what can I say, he's one of those fat people everyone knows about ) I just do half a pig of bacon (LOVE that stuff), some potatoes and a little bit of scrambled egg..... then I normally go back for a couple of pancakes and some syrup.

I was a little disturbed today though, when at 8.30am after we were done and the server bought us our check she asked 'can I get y'all some hot chocolate fudge cake and ice cream?'..... AT 8.30am LADY??? REALLY??? REALLY???

Breakfast wise, my fave of all time is Indian.
Paratha, dal and a glass of chai.
I wish I could find that someplace here.

Question from a Newby expat...what the heck is gravy??? And biscuits ???? Is that like digestives with bisto on them!!!!! Sounds vile whatever it is

SultanOfSwing

Imagine a thing that looks like a scone, but isn't sweet. Kind of dry and crumbly. That's a biscuit. 'Gravy' in this case has the appearance and consistency of cream of mushroom soup but I think it is a chicken gravy of some description.

They actually are quite nice together but descriptively very misleading . . .

CAdreaming

thank you!!! Sounds delightfull. Yum...hmmmmm

SultanOfSwing

They're better than I made them sound, but not really great for a true breakfast (i.e. not an early lunch at 11 when you have a breakfast like item).

If I'm eating at 8am, say, usually all I can manage is some toast!

When in Rome...next time I go out for brekky I'm going to try some

SultanOfSwing

If you don't like them, don't blame me

Gravy is a kind of sauce usually made from either leftovers from frying meat, or meat "juice" or stock. White gravy, traditionally served with biscuits, is made with milk and flour mixed into a skillet that has a *bit* of leftover fat in it. It's cooked until it's a thickish sauce.

No, that would be far nicer than what it really is... <shudder>

Yes, that or the remains of last night's vindaloo. With a nice cup of tea, of course.

Shoney's (same thing as Frisch's) USED to be here in GA, but the two here have closed. DH really liked the breakfast bar, I was all about the biscuits and gravy.
