1. English Black Pudding
Served with eggs, sausage, beans, hash browns, and tomatoes, black pudding is the final element of the traditional full English breakfast. Generally served fried, this sausage pudding is made of thickened pork blood and oatmeal. While it can be made by hand, it is simplest to buy the sausage pre-made and reheat for breakfast.

Like a savory bowl of cereal and milk, this egg soup is served with toast and known to cure hangovers. Recipes vary, but most contain a milk broth with scallions, cilantro, and herbs that is used as the boiling liquid for the eggs. Try this simple recipe.

The sticky black spread was developed, not under the brand name Vegemite, in 1919 as a way to utilize the leftover product of beer making, brewer’s yeast. Benefits of the toast spread include iron and B vitamins. In Australia, Kraft has worked hard to lessen the harsh taste by adding it to cheese singles and making a Vegemite cream cheese spread. Scarf it down on the way to work and dilute its acquired taste with toast, cheese, a tomato slice, and avocado.

I enjoyed the article. Thank you
Missed the Northern Chinese breakfast: hot soymilk, rice porridge with preserved duck egg, pork floss, pickles, soft tofu cheese and either sesame flatbread or steamed mantou buns. Wash it all down with hot green tea, yum!
Chorizo con huevas e frijoles con queso e tortillas. And of course, coffee.
Can’t believe Nasi Lemak and Roti Canai of Malaysia, not in the list.
How you have omitted Idly sambar of sputh India
Moroccan breakfast folks! The variety of succulent items one can try is endless! So many different pastries, cookies, pancakes… And make sure to try the awesome Moroccan green tea with fresh mint. Bonne appetit!
I think people are just having a little fun:-)))
Wow folks….let’s all READ,shall we?! The title says 6 breakfasts, just 6.
One of the best breakfast food ever is Mohinga, the soup eaten for breakfast in much of Myanmar (Burma). Indian breakfast foods are another big fave.
In North and North-East of Brazil, breakfast consists mainly of cooked banana (or cassava or yam) with butter or mollasses; otherwise, tapioca (a pancake made of cassava starch) with clarified butter (which is kept in a bottle), curdled cheese and grated coconut. To drink, local fruits juice. And, of course, coffee, which is traditionally weak and sugary – in fact, made with sugared water. The sugar comes from grated rapadura (unrefined whole cane sugar in a solid brick-like format).
Well, all this is what it used to be before globalization, but you can still find it in many homes and in hotels that want to give a local tint to their breakfast.
That is not an Australian breakfast. I haven’t seen that Kraft ‘cheese’ since the 1960’s.
Vegemite still exists and is quite nice if used correctly e.g. a tiny smear on hot buttered toast . Try smashed avocado on sourdough with a poached egg muesli and yoghurt. smoothies or fresh fruit.
“Colombian Changua” Are you kidding me? Sounds perfect Hate the sugary and fatty meals that make up most typical American meals. I enjoy meals from all cultures.
Rice wine vinegar sounds terribly wrong.. Just say sake and any foodie knows. NEVER mix vinegar with tamagoyaki.
I said Mediterranean breakfast when I really meant Greek breakfast.
How about the Mediterranean breakfast? The healthiest of the lot! I also believe the tastiest also.
