As that used to frequently eat a breakfast of a soft pretzel and a vitamin water purchased from a street vendor, (I'm a Philly girl too, hi five caroline!) I'd have to say hands down Yes.

You neglect to mention my favorite of the Eggo line, the mini-cinnamon toasts. Oh so Good. And please don't hate on the french toast sticks.

As far as the basics go, they were most excellent in that maple breakfast casserole you posted a month or so ago. :)

I've been to london, and I always try to have a traditional breakfast at least once during my trip. I've never tried blood sausage though. I'd consider it, but I am wary... I harbor a very strong dislike of scrapple and I'm afraid it would be too similar. My favorite component of a good English breakfast happens to be HP sauce :)

ohmegee! every time ive been to london ive been to high tea at fortnum and mason, and i usually end up bringing a half-suitcase full of goodies home from there alone. i dont know about anyone else, but im excited.

i have some quinoa sitting in my cabinet, i'll have to try this one out. i love black beans!

A couple years ago my boyfriend and I decided to make a pumpkin pie from scratch for dessert for Christmas. His mom, who loves that we cook together, bragged to everyone that was coming over that we were making a pie from scratch, not from a mix, etc, etc. Pie comes out of the oven and it looks beautiful and smells beautiful, and we are all proud of ourselves. Evidently we were not the only ones who thought the pie looked wonderful, the dog did too, and she helped herself to half of the pie before anyone found her! When it was time for dessert, everyone wanted to know what happened to the fancy, home-made pie they had heard so much about. We told them if they really wanted, there was some left, tooth marks and dog hair included.

Last month for a baseball game we did hot dogs and chicken that I marinaded in a ziploc bag and threw in the cooler with the beer. We haven't planned the menu yet for next weekend's football game.

When I moved out of my parents house and into my very first apartment the first time that I made myself a real meal out of real ingredients instead of something take out or pre-prepared, I called my mom to tell her because I was so proud of myself.

im a big fan of homemade cookies as comfort food. actually making the cookies is an activity that is simple enough that its hard to mess up, but involving enough to keep you occupied. plus, you get to eat them warm, and whats better than a warm buttery cookie fresh out of the oven besides a second cookie?

well along with some of my other posters, i will always take coke over pepsi. my boyfriend ironically is the opposite.

my other food prejudice has to do with my mom being all about home made. i still feel sorry for people who have never had pancakes that weren't made from bisquick. my dad would always take the first dark batch, while we kids waited patiently for the lighter ones that came off the griddle as the pan settled. light, fluffy, and delicious. i want breakfast for dinner now...

My mom is an amazing cook and baker, everything that comes out of her kitchen is wonderful. The only one that was ever strange to me was Cornflake Chicken. It's really just oven-fried chicken coated in corn flakes instead of breadcrumbs, but I've never seen it anywhere else. Tasty, but just a little different.
