Culinary Ambassadors: Breakfast in Japan

Any traveler who visited Japan may have encountered a "traditional" Japanese breakfast at a hotel. It may have a piece of grilled fish, miso soup, rice, onsen tamago, nori, and Japanese pickles. But an everyday breakfast is more like this: A fluffy, thick toast with butter, ham and eggs and a green salad.

Burger King's New Breakfast Menu

Burger King's new breakfast menu includes nine items, four of which are actually coffee (Seattle's Best hot and three iced flavors: regular, mocha, vanilla). We tried it all: the Mini Blueberry Biscuits, pancakes, Breakfast Ciabatta Club Sandwich, Croissan'wich, and the Breakfast Bowl.

Culinary Ambassadors: Breakfast in Switzerland, Roesti

Rösti (or roesti), made from coarsely ground potatoes, is definitely a Swiss dish, but there as many variations as there are cantons in Switzerland. The Restaurant Anker Bern in Bern lists nearly 30 different versions on its menu. The main difference lies in whether to use raw or cooked potatoes, as well as in what is added to the potatoes.

So apparently there's a site called cerealmarshmallows.com where you can purchase just the colorful, semi-crunchy cereal marshmallow bits (marbits!)—no oat-based pieces involved. Sign you up? Or are your teeth in pain just thinking about it? Take the poll! »

Culinary Ambassadors: Breakfast in Brazil, Strong Coffee and Pao Frances

A typical, middle- to upper-class breakfast in Brazil would likely consist of strong coffee, with or without milk, sweetened with sugar or sweetener (Brazilians love the liquid sweeteners); kids will drink chocolate milk (the Brazilian version of Nesquik, which is sweeter). Bread will most likely be a "pao frances," a small loaf of bread, eaten with butter or, most often, margarine. Fruit is plentiful in Brazil, but I would say that one of the most traditional breakfast fruits are papayas....

Culinary Ambassadors: Breakfast in Poland

With a number of goodies on the table, one would make "kanapki." Kanapki could be translated into "sandwiches," but those typically breakfast-ish and Polish are open sandwiches, made of a buttered slice of bread, some salad, meat, cheese, and maybe some mayo, cucumber, and tomato.

Culinary Ambassadors: Breakfast in Manitoba, Red River Cereal

We do have a Canadian cereal. Well, from Manitoba, where I grew up. It's called Red River Cereal. It's a very healthy breakfast made with whole grains and flax. It's like porridge, and, like porridge, it needs lots of extra flavours to make it tasty.

Breakfast in Belgium: NOT Waffles but Bread, Cheese, Jam, and Honey

First and foremost, Belgians do not eat waffels for breakfast. Not ever. Breakfast usually consists of bread and cheese, such as sliced Gouda, jam, and honey.

Happy National Waffle Day!

Hey, guess what? It's National Waffle Day! The "holiday" marks the anniversary of the first U.S. patent for a waffle iron, which Cornelius Swarthout received on August 24, 1869. How good a name is Cornelius Swarthout? And how bad do you want a waffle right now? (You do, you really do.) Whether it's the thick and crisp Belgian kind, the denser and chewier Liège, the syrup-filled stroopwafels, or the frozen ones from a box (no shame), be sure to honor the waffle today.

Breakfast in Jamaica: Ackee, Saltfish, Callaloo

The classic Jamaican breakfast tends to be savory and includes a wide variety of dishes, the most iconic of which is ackee and saltfish: Jamaica's national dish. Ackee is a fruit that, when cooked, has a flavor and consistency not unlike firm scrambled eggs; ackee and saltfish together is something akin to a Caribbean version of lox and eggs.
