    Here in the States we may have fried eggs, pancakes, bacon, oatmeal, cereal with milk. In Hong Kong, because of the British influence, they offer toast, fried egg, congee (rice porridge), fried breadstick, macaroni soup, and pancakes. I hope to one day find an authentic British breakfast in HKG!

    Food is much politicized. I share from our historical and same language food varieties. Many years back Tamil people eat whatever grows in their native. For example, a land which cultivates only millet was used food of that particular place. Rice was used only where it was cultivated. Later, due taste and issues , rice was used as food for all Tamils . In fact , millets are healthy food but it is rare or cannot found even in hotels.

      here in Brazil, the typical breakfast most people are used to is: white bread (like baguette but short) with butter, drinking coffee with milk. I don't even like it but, that's the most common.

      Yeah, too much all of this fried stuff 😅. But for me this is a good option not to die of hunger in the middle of the day, as happens after oatmeal or cottage cheese. Also, this breakfast is especially good in the cold season or when you are working in the garden. And by the way, no one forbids you to add some healthy salad 😊
