    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
