Breakfast,Ma'am?

The word 'breakfast' derives from the concept that you have not eaten whilst sleeping.Therefore, you are fasting during that time, and break that fast with the meal.In some languages,the German 'Frühstück' is, literally, an "early bite." In France'Petit dejeuner' is a "little" or a "first" lunch. The Dutch 'Ontbijt' can mean either breakfast or a snack.Whether it is a large or a small meal, one thing is expected from breakfast, it should get you going. This is usually done by combining a rousing stimulant with strengthening substance, in varying proportions that are largely cultural.In Turkey, for example, Tee is the main thing. In the Philippines most people eat the same sorts of foods for breakfast that they would eat for any other meal like rice etc.

Many people consider breakfast as a very important meal.Nutritionist have indicated that food eaten early in the day is less likely to contribute to fat gain than food eaten in the evening.However, many peeps out there tend to neglect breakfast,like eating only an apple like svelte or none at all like jing and yet,they're both sexy like me:p (just kidding,hehe)

I can only share typical breakfast of Philippines,Turkey & Germany since,I live or was living in these three countries.

A typical Filipino breakfast consists of either pandesal,coffee,sinangag or fried rice with Filipino sausages like tapa, longganisa or with tocino or with tinapa (smoked fish) with a side dish of fried egg and sliced tomatoes.


A typical Turkish breakfast, usually light, consists of tea, white cheese, bread, butter, eggs, marmalade or honey, and olives


The typical German breakfast consists of rolls or buns or variety of breads with butter,jam,eggs, marmelade, cold meats,cheese, as well as tea and coffee. However, many Germans also eat cereals(muesli)



My husband & I usually go for typical german breakfast on weekends only.On the week days,my hubby is having muesli and black tee and me ofcourse depends of what I like usually I'm buying fresh buns every morning and for me,breakfast is not breakfast without coffeeee:)

How about you? what's your typical breakfast?
