    I am Japanese, and I think this breakfast is too simple for most of us. There is nothing wrong with eating rice, pickles and miso soup, but there is usually some kind of protein or vegetables added to it.
  • As someone who lives in the UK, I can tell you that the English breakfast taste amazing but it's usually for the weekends when we have time to spare
  • 80% of the comments: i eat cereals for breakfast 20%: Why my country isn’t there?
  • @nemyfRom
    Should be titled as 'the most stereotypical breakfasts of some countries'.

    Here from Germany. The normal German breakfast consists of bread or rolls with salami, cheese, and so on depending on what you like, there is also Nutella and some who like the more classic also make a breakfast egg. Fried sausage is more like lunch.
  • I'm from Russia and yeah porridge is the most popular breakfast here. It's simple and it can be served with many different toppings (sausages, jam, butter, fruits..)

    let’s be real we all just eat cereal/toast or nothing.
  • Okay, about Brazil breakfast: I agree with the toast, cold cuts and papaya as it is a typical fruit, however, for me, the classic Brazilian breakfast is: Bread with butter on the plate Coffee with milk Orange juice Ham and cheese Cornmeal cake
  • Ok, in Italy bread and jam/marmelade are rather common, especially for those who pick a healtier breakfast. Kids usually have a more stereotipically "American" breakfast consisting in a bowl of milk with cereals, but sometimes packaged snacks (like the ones from "Kinder e Ferrero" or "Mulino bianco") are a part of breakfasts as well. Sure, it's not the healtier choice. "Milk-soup" was one of the most popular Italian breakfasts you could see in past times. It consisted in just a bowl of milk with slices of bread (usually, left-over bread from the previous day) sunken in it. Sometimes, when I feel like I want milk for breakfast, I pick a milk-soup. Even today it's my grandmother's first choice in the morning. Bread can be substituted by "fette biscottate". Of course, coffee is an important part of a traditional Italian morning routine. It must be espresso, prepared in a moka pot. When you have your breakfast in a bar (in Italy, cafes are usually called bars, even though they might not serve alcohol) you can choose between the "colazione al banco" or "da tavolo". The former has you drink your beverage (a coffee, a cappuccino, a cioccolata calda etc.) while standing next to the counter bar. For the latter, you can take a seat at one table, but sometimes you'd need to pay a little bit more for it. It's the so-called "coperto". A pastry usually accompanies the beverage: the most common pastry is the "cornetto", which is different from the French croissant, and in Northern Italy is also called "brioche". Cappuccino is a breakfast-only beverage. It's not forbidden to have it later in the day, but Italians drink it in the morning. Coffe is not meant to be served next to meals, but you can have one before or (mostly) after your meal. Italian "cioccolata calda" is not like common hot chocolate, since it's way thicker and less milky. "Barley coffee" (caffè d'orzo) is a caffeine-free alternative to coffee. It's a tipically Italian beverage you can drink both "lungo" (in a mug) or "espresso" (in a small espresso cup, like a regular coffee). Ok, that's how Italians enjoy their breakfast.

    Here in Austin Tx everyone eats breakfast tacos. All ages. Tortilla with any combination of eggs, potatoes, cheese, sausage, bacon. I had three this morning: potato, egg, sausage then poured salsa and pepper on it.
  • Everyone is talking about how inaccurate this is and im over here wondering why they put the tiniest bit of milk on their cornflakes...
  • @raqellzz
    and there’s me in my own world that doesn’t eat breakfast
  • @lewdogzombies
    This is what everyone has for breakfast: 80% have cereal or toast 20% have nothing

    The ideal Nigerian breakfast would be fried yams, fried plantains with pottage beans combined with scrambled eggs and a cup of hot bournvita chocolate drink. Alternatively there is another Nigerian breakfast called Akara and Akamu. Akara are savory and spicy fried bean patties while Akamu is a white corn custard which is often taken with milk and sugar and the Akara of course.
