what makes breakfast food "breakfast food"?

Who decided you should eat things like eggs and cereal for breakfast? What would happen if you started switching your meals around, like meatloaf and mashed potatoes for breakfast, and cereal and eggs for dinner? What would happen? Is there a reason you are only supposed to eat certain foods at certian times of the day?

Cuz I'm totally about to eat a taco salad for breakfast.

 

nuthin wrong with that. mainly, the best breakfast foods are those things that will sustain your energy for a good long period of time. for some people that's carb-based stuff, like oatmeal. for some it's protein-based (that's me). an egg, yogurt, something like that. eat whatever you like.

 

steak and eggs - best of both worlds = best meal ever...add in some oatmeal with some cinnamon and your all set to go

nothign would happen, just that the restaurant business would ahve to shift around to suit the new customer needs...

 

i like going to denny's for eggs and southern fried pork chops...their grits are kinda lame, but when you mix it all up in an appalling pile, man, that's good. it's my preferred lunch. i don't do breakfast very well.

 

I like eating breakfast any time of the day, be it in the morning, afternoon or evening. on the other hand, I cant eat something like pizza orsteak or whatever for breakfast......

 

Yes indeed.


If I could I would start every day off with that and a beer. That's what I used to do when I was traveling, but it usually would be "rice and beens" instead of steak... but I would still have a beer

 

I guess I’m a traditionalist because I still eat pancakes (with vermont maid syrup) waffles, bacon & eggs, pastry, doughnuts, and toast /w margarine & jelly



Hotwater

 

Thats really a good question...I have wondered about that myself many times...because theres nothing like a good hot bowl of oatmeal on a cold winter night

 

my favourite places are those 24hr breakfast cafes!

i usually have a light brekky, cereal or toast, but i do enjoy a big bacon and eggs from time to time. although i always feel like a blimp for hours after if i start my day with that.

but i especially love eating brekky at lunch, like pancakes!

 

I usually don't eat breakfast, but I love breakfast food. I can cook a mean omlet man, a mean one....

 

Oh yum breakfast! I love cinnamon french toast with maple syrup!

 

i like hash browns

 

I kinda wonder the same thing. Breakfast foods don't feel me up as much as what the idea implies. I don't know. I guess I eat whatever I feel like no matter what time of day it is. Although, it is more kosher to eat breakfast foods other times of the day. That's why you see restaurants with signs that say 'serving breakfast all day', but they don't have the counterpart cheeseburger for breakfast.

That may be because breakfast food cooks up so easily.

Wow. I put a lot of thought into that.

 

i dont eat breakfest,and i couldnt eat eggs or bacon in the morning..and i dont
like cereals so no breakfest for me lol...

 

Best breakfast I've ever had was in Amsterdam. Pancake houses EVERYWHERE. Can't beat having a few pancakes with a shitload of maple syrup on top and a nice spliff for breakfast. :H

 

Oh I've definitely been known to eat typical dinner or lunch foods for breakfast,I get really tired of breakfast foods in the morning sometimes, and need to change things up. Just like, sometimes I'll make us breakfast for dinner, you know, omelets, hashbrowns, orange juice. It's fun to change things up every once in a while.

 

Before I developed my lactose intolerance, my favorite breakfast food was cold pizza...

It's one of the few things I miss having

 

maybe people eat eggs and bacon for breakfast now because they take like 5 min. to cook and no one has time before work to make meatloaf or fried chicken, because i only eat what is right on hand for breakfast, i hate getting up and spending time preparing and then cooking food


i will eat cheesy scrambled eggs any time or the day with hash browns =) and leftover cold pizza for every meal for two days after i order out LOL
