Breakfast is, without a doubt, the best meal of the day. It's even more
so when ordered in a restaurant that knows how to serve a good breakfast.

You didn't add crepes to your list of what you don't like, so I'll add
it to my list of foods of the gods. Crepes filled with just about any
berry (except blueberries - they're like eating little pencil erasers)
is beyond awesome.

My ideal breakfast: 1 or 2 (depends on size) strawberry filled crepes,
scrambled eggs, hash browns cooked crispy on the outside, roast beef
hash and fresh coffee. This meal is best enjoyed at a restaurant table
that's by a big window with any kind of view.

And what do you eat for breakfast when at home?

I didn't add them because they were never anything I ate much of. I did
have Crepes Suzette a few times and I made them at home but no way could I
eat them now with my egg intolerance. The meal that you listed is just not
something I'd ever eat even if I didn't have food intolerances or diabetes.
Just doesn't appeal.

Most usually cold cereal or a toasted bagel. I make eggs, but usually
for dinner. I make my previously mentioned ideal meal a lot for dinner,
all but the crepes. I've tried to make crepes, but they've never bee
suitable for human consumption.

I don't even try to make crepes, a pancake is as good as it gets.
Question: what is beef hash?

I had a crepe maker that seems to have gotten lost in my last move
some 10 years ago. I used it a few times but they were never as
good as the restaurant prepared ones and those didn't come close
to the ones my mother made when I was young.

To me, crepes are more a light dinner, though these days they're
far too carbish.

Best breakfast? These days it is cold left-over pizza.

Cooked beef and potatoes all chopped up and fried. Husband likes it. I
don't.

If you're referring to my meal, Cheri, no, it's not. It's also a meal
that I eat 3, maybe 4 times a year. We have a delightful smalltown, mom
& pop restaurant a few miles north of here and breakfast/lunch/brunch -
whatever you want to call it - is always a real treat. It's a bit
pricey for our budget, but it's great fun and if on the right day the
neighboring antique/junk stores are open and awaiting my arrival. (-:

That too. I had them back in the 80's. Was not diabetic then and I never
ate a whole order. Husband and I would split them.

Well, yeah, I understand that, but this is alt.food.diabetic. It would be
kind of like posting the best cigarette prices, the most satisfying
cigarettes etc., in the non smoking groups. JMO, and I do have 4 or 5 days a
year when I pretty much eat what I want too. :-)
