The Joy Of Cooking (The version before the most recent.) It was my first-ever cookbook and if being forced to choose only one, it would be my pick.

I know there's a love affair going on with Bittman but frankly, I could never figure out why. I had HTCE and hated it.

I'm surprised that The Fannie Farmer Cookbook isn't on this list yet. I grew up on it and have given it as a gift before. I think I love the pages that show where each cut of meat comes from and how to substitute som ingredients. I recently made crepes from it (like, Monday night) and one of my friends called me today telling me that he was angry at me--he could STILL taste the crepes (angry in a funny way, as in, now he can't stop wanting them). So Fannie is my girl. =)

I love eating non-breakfast foods for breakfast. As for savories, I love soup, salads and sandwiches--for sweets, I love birthday cake, and desserts typically served after dinner: cheesecake, truffles, pudding, etc.

I have to have something sweet in the mornings - so if it's a bagel it has to be cinnamon raisin with sweet honey raisin cream cheese - I love whitefish salad on pumpernickel bagels but it would seem heresy to have one first thing! I can easily eat something like carrot cake or a scone with jam and quark - or leftover plum or apricot crumble if I've had people round for dinner. And of course there's there traditional post Thanksgiving pumpkin-pie-for-breakfast the day after... and since I am British, mince pies for breakfast throughout December - only the posh ones from fancy bakeries though. In fact I had one this morning with some fromage frais on the side.

Yes! Well, that is unless I happen to wake up after noon, but even then most of the time I still eat my regular breakfast, it's a ritual with me. It's my favorite meal of the day.

I don't eat breakfast as often as I should, but I have been known to makea grill cheese, or a salad as well. I'm even known to sometimes crank up the charcoal grill before 10:00AM.

My favorite brekkie is a big bowl of steel-cut oatmeal, subdivided to provide a 2/3 portion "entree" and a 1/3 "dessert. The entree I spike with a bit of salt and either dark sesame oil OR evoo and 1/2 tsp od crushed garlic. The dessert portion gets a daub of butter and a bit of brown sugar for after.

I don't eat breakfast, but love breakfast for lunch.

I love breakfast at non-breakfast times. and the ideas here are just amazing for both breakfast types food and the non-breakfast morning foods!

my favorite non-breakfasty morning meal ever has to be in Jaipur where they have milk and jalebis for breakfast.

I usually eat traditional breakfast foods for breakfast (and sometimes dinner too, when the hubby's away) -- but I'll certainly never turn down leftover pizza in the morning! If I have leftover apple crisp in the fridge I'll have a few bits of that too -- but only after having something else.

A lot of weekends I'll wake up and eat my leftovers from the night before for breakfast, but I do wake up later. Still, rigatoni and vodka sauce for breakfast = bliss. They do say you should eat all your carbs in the morning! :)

Chew on That

mostly i eat eggs for breakfast because i'm obsessed with them. but not always breakfast eggs. sometimes i'll just top poached eggs over whatever i had for dinner the night before and call it breakfast. oh and i drop an egg in my ramen and eat that for breakfast about once a week, with spinach if i've got it.
