Cold slice of leftover cheese pizza.

The best hangover breakfast.

Love toaster pizzas for breakfast of any time really

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.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I think this counts as unconventional at all times of day.... and night.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago

The question could be read either way.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Yuck, have an upvote haha

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

What deeeee fuk?

What type of mustard?

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't tend to use Dijon for this, but most types of brown mustard or spicy mustard go well. Also other vinegary condiments such as chimichurri or cilantro chutney.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You are a wild one that's for sure. Is it the peanut butter vinegary tang? Would you put pickles in your peanut butter? Or maybe kimchi?

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 3 points 4 weeks ago

It's salty fats dressed with acid, that's exactly right.

[–] Oberyn@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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
[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)
  • 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.

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Hambourghers

Cournerstoune ouf any nouutriciouus breakfast.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

The Mexican places here make breakfast chilaquiles with yesterday's leftover chips!

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.

[–] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Aww yisss. Weetabix just barely sopping in the milk and then nuked to brown-sugar-ready perfection while it sponges up the rest.

I'll do that with regular (1%) milk right outta the bag. 🇨🇦

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.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Pho. I have a pot every morning.

Leftover Chinese food warmed up in the microwave

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

This makes it sound like microwaving it is what makes it unconventional. 😆

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Mi goreng ramen with carrot, broccoli, egg, and anchovies. And sometimes other things

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] naught101@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One of my exes is a dark chocolate for breakfast person

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I just can't do caffeine late in the day.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

At this point, i'm just happy there's food

[–] nsrxn@kolektiva.social 5 points 1 month ago

leftover buffalo wings, stripped from the bone, fried with eggs and cheese. I call it general nsrxn's chicken.

[–] funkajunk@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cold Irish stew while shitfaced by the cold but beautiful glow of the fridge light.

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Rice. I know it's common in Asian countries but absolutely not where I'm from.

[–] paulzy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Unless it’s Krispie

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

My grandma used to eat leftover rice with a little milk and sugar for breakfast. Kinda like oatmeal.

As an American, this is the most American thing I've ever heard.

Pickled herring. Or soused herring. Or really, any kind of cold fish.

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.

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 3 points 4 weeks ago

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.

Do grits count? Grits with as close to an entire stick of hot butter as someone will let me have.

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.

I only like sweet breakfast. Cereal, cookies, choc pancakes, cakes etc Not healthy but otherwise I won't eat breakfast

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago

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.

[–] ExhaleSmile@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Hamburger Helper, cheeseburger macaroni. When hungover...

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Caesar salad.
