Culturally Unique Breakfasts from Around the World

Foodie May 15, 2013

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, though it may look and taste different depending on where you’re from. While in America it is not out of the ordinary to have a stack of flapjacks and bacon as a morning meal, it is wildly different from Thailand’s customary fish, pork, and rice dish.

World traveling enthusiast Victoria Philpott took note of the various combinations of platters and variety of breakfasts commonly eaten each day along her travels. Rounding up fifty different and delicious meals that are typically eaten in dozens of countries, the globe-trotter shares an appetizing set of images on her blog from various sources of culturally unique breakfasts.

Of course, everyone’s taste palette is different but it is interesting, nonetheless, to see how different cultures interpret the best meal to start your day. It is also best to keep in mind that not all dishes are strictly the only breakfast anyone in any given country eats. Sometimes there just isn’t enough time to prepare a full English breakfast and, other times, you want more than a simple croissant.
