    Making Breakfast

    Breakfast Around the World

    First meal eaten in the early morning.

    Breakfast is often referred to as the most important meal of the day. It's the first meal we consume after a long night's sleep, and it's meant to provide us with the energy we need to start our day. But what constitutes a "breakfast" can vary greatly from one culture to another. In this unit, we will explore some traditional breakfasts from around the world.

    American Breakfast

    An American breakfast often includes a combination of sweet and savory items. Pancakes, often served with maple syrup and a side of bacon, are a classic choice. Hash browns, a dish made from diced or shredded potatoes, are another common side dish.

    English Breakfast

    A traditional English breakfast, also known as a "full English," is a hearty meal that includes eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, and toast. Black pudding, a type of blood sausage, is also often included. This breakfast is known for being high in protein and very filling.

    French Breakfast

    In contrast to the hearty English breakfast, a French breakfast is typically light and sweet. It often includes fresh croissants or a baguette, served with butter and jam. A café au lait, coffee served with hot milk, is a common beverage choice.

    Japanese Breakfast

    A traditional Japanese breakfast is a balanced meal that includes a variety of small dishes. Steamed rice and miso soup are staples, often accompanied by grilled fish and pickled vegetables.

    Mexican Breakfast

    Mexican breakfasts are rich in flavor and often include a mix of sweet and savory dishes. Chilaquiles, a dish made from lightly fried corn tortillas topped with green or red salsa, is a popular choice. Huevos rancheros, eggs served on tortillas with a tomato-chili sauce, and tamales, steamed corn dough filled with meats, cheeses, or fruits, are also common.

    Middle Eastern Breakfast

    A Middle Eastern breakfast often includes labneh, a type of strained yogurt, and zaatar, a spice blend that includes thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac. Olives, pita bread, and hummus are also commonly served.

    Indian Breakfast

    Indian breakfasts vary by region, but some common dishes include idli, a type of savory rice cake, dosa, a fermented crepe made from rice batter and black lentils, upma, a thick porridge made from dry-roasted semolina or coarse rice flour, and poha, flattened rice seasoned with turmeric and mustard seeds.

    Incorporating international breakfast dishes into your routine can be a fun way to explore new flavors and ingredients. Whether you're looking for a hearty meal to start your day or a light, sweet treat, there's a world of breakfast options out there to explore.
