My favorite breakfast to this day is either a bowl of cold cereal with milk or something like a full-English or some minimized version like eggs and bacon or pancakes without the beans and tomatoes (I'll never understand that) -- hot oatmeal with nuts, raisin and cinnamon (I don't really need sugar with it) will also do fine.

When I travel overseas I like to go "local" with my foods, but breakfast has always been special to me, an almost holy meal. I've never really been able to get into how other places do it. I'll spend exorbitant amounts of money on milk and cereal or eggs and the local sausage analog or whatever or at the very least some kind of pastry and coffee.

I've tried to eat like a local for breakfast, I really really have, but it kind of ruins the start of that day for me for some reason and I've never been able to really shake it.

It's a weakness. But I like to tell myself that the definition of separate food categories just for breakfast is a sign of an advanced civilization (even though most of what I eat is farmer's food) which makes me feel better.

I've heard Indian breakfasts sound quite civilized, I need to try one one of these days.
