Just curious. I normally eat cereal except during Pesach. Then it is
eggs with Matza.

The problem is that my doctor wants me to eat more protein. Normal US
breakfast is either just coffee and something sweet or cereal or eggs
with pork. Omlets are nice but then it is without cheese or ham.

Any ideas?

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish by adding the comments about
ham/pork, but anyhow... There's no reason that breakfast needs to have
special foods that are different than any other meal. I eat anything
from pizza to a roast beef sandwich for breakfast and haven't had
cereal since I was a kid. Treat it like any other meal.

I forget that the Brits eat all sorts of strange things, ie fish, for
breakfast. And college kids will eat whatever is handy!

Look at the typical American breakfast. It is either cereal or
McDonalds. At McDonalds, it is eggs and some form of pork in a
sandwich. Or pancakes.


Excuse me? You need to get to know more people. Or you need to talk to the
majority of us; we do not purchase breakfast out on any regular basis.

We are not observant, nor do we live in a Jewish neighborhood. No one I know
goes to McDonalds for breakfast, and there is one 7 minutes away by car. The
expense alone is prohibitive. Going to McDonalds is hardly typical.

Yes, my family chooses to eat mostly cereal. That includes oatmeal. Plain
old scrambled eggs is a biggie. fried eggs. Hard boiled eggs. veggie omelets
(with or without cheese), ranch omelets (onions and peppers), scrambled eggs
and cheese rolled up in a tortilla. Even a protein shake would achieve your
goals.


OK, it's time again for my Catskills breakfast routine when I was
a busboy then a waiter at Catskill resorts in the 1960's:


Tell me: did you EVER see the breakfast menu at a Catskill resort ? The
menu weighed 3 pounds and had more pages than WAR AND PEACE :-) Do you
know what it took to be a busboy or waiter at one of these joints ??
I can still rattle off the menu:

orange juice, tomato juice, grapefruit juice, sliced bananas, stewed
prunes, half grapefruit, sliced orange, PRUNE juice [always said
very loudly], apple juice, pineapple juice, schmaltz herring, pickled
salmon, herring in wine sauce, Nova Scotia salmon, baked or fried herring,
pickled herring, baked potato, grape jelly, strawberry preserves, orange
marmalade, griddle cakes, french toast, breakfast rolls, melba toast, dry
toast, coffee cake, breakfast danish, rye crisp, cream cheese, American
cheese, Swiss cheese, cottage cheese, Muenster cheese, corn flakes, puffed
wheat, raisin bran, all bran, rice krispies, corn pops, frosted flakes,
shredded wheat, honey smacks, cheerios, wheaties, puffed rice, special K,
scrambled eggs, fried eggs, eggs with American cheese, plain omelet,
jelly omelet, shirred eggs, poached, poached on toast, lox & onion
omelet, Spanish omelet,cream cheese omelet, tomato omelet, boiled any style,
mushroom omelet, onion omelet, coffee, postum, hot chocolate, buttermilk,
milk, skim milk, tea, decaf, oatmeal, wheatena, farina.

No, Mrs. Bernstein, there are NO triples :-)

And she would order EVERYTHING on the menu, taste a little, and complain.


Josh (who has a "nice" piece of pickled herring [omega 3], a whole
wheat cracker [fiber], a hard boiled egg [protein], a slice of
Mozzarella, and a salad [one tomato, one cucumber, 1 slice green pepper,
1 slice red pepper, freshly chopped parsley, some cilantro, 1 tbl.
balsamic vinegar [for preventing insulin resistance], 1 tbl. extra
virgin olive oil, freshly ground black pepper and freshly ground
