As an American, this is the most American thing I've ever heard.
Y'all hardly have a monopoly on cheesecake
But the unhealthy eating habits are decidedly American.
When I lived in Chicago, mom-and-pop Mexican stores were a stone's throw from one another, take your pick. Also, they opened early to cater to laborers.
Real Mexican for breakfast? I would kill to have that back.
The Mexican places here make breakfast chilaquiles with yesterday's leftover chips!
Come back, it's a great place to live.
Pho. I have a pot every morning.
A pot o' pho? Isn't that a French thing?
Breakfast is my favorite meal, though I don't eat it very early, so I'm more likely to eat breakfast stuff for lunch or supper, than the other way around.
But leftover reheated pizza is so good for breakfast.
Probably not the weirdest by a long shot, but I absolutely love having leftover dinner for breakfast because I'm not a big breakfast food fan.
One of my favorites is if there's leftover homemade mac and cheese, I'll take some and heat it. Then I'll put some on a tortilla and then add ketchup. Roll it up and I will gladly devour it.
I didn’t think it was weird but when I put lox on my bagel one of my coworkers gagged and asked “ugh how can you eat fish for breakfast?”
Which is rich considering her people invented scrapple.
Hear me out, toasted onion dill rye bread instead of a bagel. Room for more lox, creme cheese so holds together and a better crunch. Also rosemary sourdough bread.
Nah, your coworker's weird. That shit slaps.

By the 1950s, 'bagels and lox' had become an insult—a disparaging term used by Jewish immigrants to describe their counterparts who had become too American.
Peanut butter sandwich with mustard.
I think this counts as unconventional at all times of day.... and night.
The question could be read either way.
Yuck, have an upvote haha
At this point, i'm just happy there's food
I'll be revealing my nationality with this one, but Wheatbix and Milo (chocolate malt usually for milk drinks) is something apparently no one else I've met has.
Before I moved away from dairy entirely, I couldn't stand the taste of plain cow's milk and adding Milo helped with the wheatbix severely.
I'm a long long way from my place of birth, and one day a coworker gave me a tin of Milo she'd picked up on her travels but didn't like. I ate it dry, in spoonfuls, almost sobbing with nostalgia.
Also, Wheatbix, ahhh. Weetabix is a miserable con artist of a breakfast cereal. It's for feeble people with bad teeth.
And in winter, put your weetbix and Milo in the microwave for 45 seconds to make it nice and warm. A little bit of cinnamon and sugar helps too.
As some one who dœsn't believe in "breakfast" , list of things I've eaten in the morning :
- Potato crisps
- Chow mein nꝏdles
- Hambourghers
- Pizza
- Crackers
- Cup ramen
- Cake
- Popcorn
- Mac cheese
- Maybe some others but don't remember
Hambourghers
Cournerstoune ouf any nouutriciouus breakfast.
- Cake
- Candy
- Chicken wings
- Steak
- Fried chicken
- Pie
- Ice Cream
- Tacos
- Burritos
- Chili
And probably much more over the years. I don't actually eat breakfast that often to begin with. If I want breakfast food, I'll eat it whenever I want.
Do grits count? Grits with as close to an entire stick of hot butter as someone will let me have.
Grits is traditional breakfast foods though? When were you eating them before?
Grits with butter, cheese, and nutritional yeast, yum!
Pickled herring. Or soused herring. Or really, any kind of cold fish.
"Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!"
Whatever leftovers are on hand, but my favorites are noodle dishes like pancit bihon, pho (a normal breakfast but not here in the US), or Singapore curry noodles.
I love a Greek salad for breakfast. Eating salad as the first meal of the day makes me feel energetic, without the heavy, achy feeling that meat and bread-based foods give me.
My wife and I don't eat traditional "American" breakfast at all, it's always either refried beans, some kind of Indian curry, or protein and fried rice. PBJ is supplemental otherwise.
We love a breakfast burrito with refried beans, potatoes, eggs, onion, cheese, salsa.
Leftover Chinese food warmed up in the microwave
This makes it sound like microwaving it is what makes it unconventional. 😆
Mi goreng ramen with carrot, broccoli, egg, and anchovies. And sometimes other things
Rice. I know it's common in Asian countries but absolutely not where I'm from.
Sticky rice and a plain omelette with Maggi seasoning. Top tier breakfast.
Rice with chili paste and a fried egg, and pork fu is my "Korean grandma" breakfast, but I have done the same with grits and potatoes.
Unless it’s Krispie
Oh man you are a visionary.
I can’t believe I never thought it suitable to just eat cheese cake for breakfast. Or any cake for that matter!
Seems obvious now that it’s been said, but never occurred to me prior seeing this. That’s a bit sad honestly, that I’ve become so reserved and “traditional” with my morning meals.
Edit: well just to answer the actual question so as not to waste space in the thread unnecessarily, the one thing I’d consider a bit more unconventional in my habits is just eating boiled eggs with nothing else. A cup of coffee and some 3 eggs, nothing else. I guess it’s not that strange, but I’ve got some funny looks when people are visiting or for example starting dating with someone, and I happen to do this.
Whenever I'm talking to a little kid and they start trying to joke me, I normally reply with the "oh yeah. Well I can go and eat cake for breakfast or dinner if I want." That usually shuts them down.
For the confused they are normally related through family or friends. I'm not just going out to the playground to start trash talking a kid. They normally are just being kids and start making jokes.
