My suggestions:
- some kind of fried potato dish — hash browns, home fries, french fries, whatever*
- mushrooms — fried in the bacon fat, of course
- a proper pork sausage, or boerewors
- a lamb chop
- Heinz baked beans
- French bread, toasted / croissant alternatively
- HP sauce or Heinz 57 sauce (if some spiciness is needed)
I might want to substitute back bacon (English bacon) instead of the American streaky kind, but it’s not mandatory, of course. Bacon, as they say, is bacon.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the kitchen.
*Some time ago, I spotted potato skins on a breakfast offering somewhere.
This may well be a groundbreaking innovation.
First, flip them eggz and cook the front side properly.
Add some chunky style home fried potatoes, and then smother the whole shootin’ works with sausage gravy.
Add a couple slices of wheat toast smeared with strawberry preserves, and a big ol’ glass of frothy whole D milk.
Keep the coffee coming and get the fuk away from me for the next half hour or so, and keep the chatter to a minimum. Danke.
Clearly you are missing a tortilla, some salsa and beans. You are in Texas after all.
Ugh.
K.I.S.S. Keep it simple, stupid.
You only need two more eggs, another 8 strips or so of bacon, a mug of coffee and a cup of whiskey. Simple.
I was wondering who else would notice the lack of whiskey.
I’d add two more eggs and double the bacon.
It might just be my missing gall bladder talking, but it definitely needs some kind of starch to help control the grease/fat. My preference would be an english muffin w/marmalade. And add an egg & scramble ’em.
I was gifted some venison kielbasa .. that’d be a fine sub for the bacon strips. Add in a couple crispy potato latkes, and maybe half a pumpernickel bagel with a goodly amount of chive-enhanced schmear. Yup, couple mugs of steaming hot black coffee, and finish with a shot of 100 proof heirloom rye whiskey.
You guys and your silly kosher thing…
Two pieces of well buttered sour dough toast and a cup of black coffee.
I was going to post about the U.N. (above) but then I saw this. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, along with lunch and dinner! Eggs and bacon are like rebar in a concrete foundation, essential if you’re going to build a solid structure. What would I add (your answers may vary)?
-more eggs (at least four, total) over medium
-more bacon (I prefer chicken fried steak with sausage gravy, but I’ll settle)
-home fried potatoes, fried in bacon fat and done to a crispy, golden brown
-biscuits, at least two (if served with chicken fried steak, extra gravy for the biscuits)
-a side of pork sausage (personal preference: links, but I won’t turn away from patties)
-fresh orange juice (for vitamins), icy cold
-bottomless black hole coffee (so strong no light from creamer can escape it, so why add any)
-bourbon (you can’t spell breakfast without Jack)
-pie for desert (around here, Black Bear Diner always has a fine selection of pies to finish off a meal)
Here at the Old Folks Home, this is what we call a Cholesterol Builder Breakfast (did I mention that we are all in our mid-70s to early 80s?) This was a regular weekend meal, back before we turned our lives over to Medicare and the A.M.A. Today’s breakfast will more likely be a bagel, coffee, and a handful of morning pills from doctors who think they’re doing us a favor.
My advice to you youngsters out there: eat what you want in moderation and die happy.
You’ve all missed the obvious answer so far:
– Add a nice, small (8-ounce or so) beef filet, grilled rare along with some hash browns with onions in them.
Now THAT’S breakfast.
Winner. Not close.
Bacon, sausage, eggs over easy, hash browns, fresh hot biscuits along with real butter and fruit jam. I like to smush my eggs into my hash browns. While I do love me some sausage gravy on biscuits, Including that is a bit more than I can eat at one sitting. Alternate to biscuits is a couple of pancakes or a waffle on the side.
Some form of potatoes, fried in bacon grease with onion and peppers. A liberal splash of Mrs. Renfro’s Green Jalapeno Salsa over everything.
As for the eggs, duck eggs have bigger yolks and a slightly stronger taste, but my favorite would be goose eggs. One goose egg equals 3 chicken eggs, I’ll take two.
Substitute my Dad’s moose pepperoni or Uncle Gil’s Elk sausage for the bacon.
Or maybe fried razor clams and eggs on a bed of canned new potatoes for a delicious salty treat!
And every goose egg is a goose that will never be hatched.
A good thing, as geese are assho.
Gotta have fried potatoes, preferably with diced bell peppers and onions. Add a couple of thick slices of toasted rye and a dollop of orange marmalade to round it out. Strong black coffee to drink
Thanks for the reminder. I’m a sucker for orange marmalade on sour dough English muffins. Here is Michael Caine on marmalade, at the 0:57 mark–

A bowl of cheesy grits, sage breakfast links, sourdough toast with a dab of strawberry-fig preserves, and the eggs cooked easy over.
Pffft. Amateurs.
One full English breakfast from the Farm Shop, Boscastle (you know where I mean Kim)One large mug of proper Cornish Tea.
Done.
I hate you.
Grits with butter, a little salt, and a lot of pepper.
I rarely eat breakfast of any kind at home, but when travelling I try to make time in the mornings to find a diner or whatever that has grits on the menu. Waffle House is my go-to for this because even here in the South not very many breakfast spots have it as an option.
Kim’s list plus the most important addition of all; ME!!!!
Starch product. I like some nicely browned toast, preferably sourdough, with plenty of butter.
Bread product. I like some nicely browned toast, preferably sourdough, with plenty of butter.
I’m late to the comments, but my own dietary considerations require replacement of one of the items on the plate. Ditch the eggs. I can’t have them, somehow after an intestinal surgery years ago, I can’t handle what they do to me, nor can anyone else around me sadly. Replace them with another pound of bacon, and about 20oz of coffee with fiber powder and I’ll be good to go.
