Hey thanks for watching! A couple things: I have a patreon where I share map backgrounds from videos as well as the actual scripts, you can find that here: www.patreon.com/johnnyharris I had custom presets & luts that I use to color my videos and photos. I developed them over a year with a professional colorist. In incase that’s interesting to you, here they are: store.dftba.com/collections/johnny-harris/products/johnny-iz-luts-and-presets Lastly, let me know if there is a video you’d like me to make, I’m always on the lookout for ideas and want to know what you’d like to see: www.johnnyharris.ch/submit-ideas
I grew up in France, first time I ate pan cakes in an American restaurant they put a very small scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top. As a kid I felt so happy to have ice cream for breakfast, I put the whole thing in my mouth, only to find out it was butter 🤢🤮
As a Mexican, i remember being so upset with my mom for not letting me eat cereal as breakfast, but now i'm really greatful with her for not letting me do that, i have really good breakfast habits now
Yes amigo, instead of being loaded with sugar and speedy Gonzales outta there you sat and ingested a good nutritional meal.. your mother did not burrito around the Bush and knew whats best for you, Her tacotics worked and she didn't string bean you along
Recuerdo ver las series en canales como cartoon network o disney XD donde salian los personajes desayunando leche con cereal y apenas nada mas y yo de chiquito super confundido porque mis padres tambien nunca me dejaron comer cereales asi tipo azucarados y de colores Puede que no haya entendido por qué en esos momentos pero ahora Muchas gracias padres por no haberme dejado comer cereales azucarados--
As a non-American I do like American breakfasts but I just can't imagine having that like every morning.It's more like a treat than proper everyday breakfast for me.
Pancakes were definitely for weekend breakfasts and not even every weekend. We would make pancakes for birthday breakfast and mother's and father's day. I had cereal or toast for breakfast most days
At least from a New Yorkers view, 90% of us don't even eat breakfast, and when we do, its a special occasion with friends. Us Americans usually don't have time to eat in the mornings
Eggs is another common breakfast. However it depends what you eat on the side. MOst i would say eat some time of pork or toast with butter and jelly. I eat lots of chopped veggies and quinoa with my eggs, its actually my "healthy breakfast" day LOL.
When I travel US.I try to eat Americanized Food as possible. Like an American Diner.Wake up late around 10:00am and eat at diner. Crispy Bacon,couple Sunnysideups, graycolored no skin type sausage , toast with plenty butter dripping, and strawberry Jam. And drink plenty light taste coffee. Then you get full and light a cigarette and think about where to go and what to eat. That’s an heavenly moment for me.
IHOP is available in more than just America, but yeah they should most definitely get some other parts of the worlds pancakes on the menu that would be great
Lmao what... other parts of the world don’t eat breakfasts like ours so how would IHOP add in other countries pancakes lmao did you miss the point of the video... if IHOP wants to have the “I” they should have breakfast dishes from other countries that ARENT pancakes.... like eggs rice tomato and toast.... or fruits with eggs and a croissant(non chocolate drizzled or overly sugared) lol
@@cosmiccoco6889 you're saying that for a pancake resturant to deserve their name they need to not just sell pancakes? how is rice or toast any better? just alternate forms of empty carbs with next to no nutritional value
As a Sri Lankan kid , I always wanted stuff like Donuts , cereals for my breakfast but my mother never allowed me. Instead she mostly gave me a homecooked 3 course breakfast starting with a cup of black tea then a cup of herbal Porridge and rice with 2-3 vegetables nd an animal protein item. Now as an adult who living alone in Europe , Im extreamly grateful to my parents for raising me with good food habits.
This didn’t really explain why it’s like this. Diner breakfast came from our farming days. Most of America used to be a farm. We ate foods from the farm that were incredibly calorie dense in order to maintain the energy to do farm work. Cereal breakfast came from the 40s and 50s. No longer on farms, but still lacking a lot in transportation in our gigantic country, we had basically no fresh food. Hence everything came in a can or a box (you know all those weird preserved food recipes from the 50s) We just continued these two traditions.
Thank you, explained it best on the most simplest and understanding way. It all really comes down to tradition, literally every culture is like this. Surprised people in the comments are acting like they are any different
I just found this guy’s channel and most of the videos I see don’t even answer the title. Like this one is just shitting on breakfast and the one about China is a call to reform capitalism.
Lol, yass, but we usually like bread in the morning with coffee. Though, I don’t really like coffee, so I eat the bread. I sometimes wake up too late in the summer, so I just eat lunch. My aunt gave us some Pork Sinigang in a Ube Ice cream container. It was so goodd. Then with some green beans with squash my mom made the other day. Soo good and more vegetables!
Coming from an indonesian household. My mom absolutely would only cook once a day if could, twice is the maximum, so our dinner is usually our earlier breakfast left over. But then again, my house almost never left anything out, we simply eat everything.
We don’t necessarily eat those “desserts” every single day. My family will only eat them on holidays and sometimes the weekends. Normally I eat toast, eggs, or an apple.
As an '80s and '90s kid I have all the memories of "breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" and then people eating things that really suggest that's not at all the case. It's really nice to see someone talking about this objectively and encouraging people to question it.
It's all marketing propaganda. Along with lobbying in the government to tell us to eat 7-11 servings of carbohydrates on a food pyramid. Now we know that equates to 7-11 servings of sugar a day.
I'm with you on that with some 70's thrown in. It still amazes me how deeply advertising and marketing spiels were accepted as fact and how gullible society was. A company funds a self serving study and the outcome is now scientific fact.Case in point, cereals with 40% sugar received a heart foundation healthy tick.
He’s right... America adds sugar to everything. Especially breakfast items. Edit: When I said sugar I meant “sugar” of every kind including high fructose corn syrup, powdered sugar, and everything in between.
@@dougnapier6441 I was about to say that XD Corn syrup is way cheaper and waaay worse. It contains fructose that can only be stored in the liver so you get fatty liver if you eat too much.
Mexican sugar cane is tariffed so we use corn syrup from the midwest instead. If you go to a store you can buy a product called Mexican coke. The difference is Mexican coke uses sugar cane and our soda uses corn syrup. My father swears how much better the Mexican coke is.
As a Brazilian, a cup of coffee with milk, bread with cheese (very rarely ham or eggs) and a fruit gets me going and is all I ever crave in the mornings. I could not stand a breakfast so "rich" in fat, as the one with bacon and pork, or so full of sugar either.
Trinidad here (Caribbean) and it’s the exact same! And it was how I was raised :) Coffee and some bread and cheese, and if you really get lucky, a banana/apple/grapes
YES! fellow brazilian here! my breakfast nowadays is dark coffee without sugar, bread and eggs (sometimes cheese or light cream cheese with it) and papaya. i change fruits sometimes but it’s usually one rich in fibers. i love that we don’t have the culture of eating cereals or too much fat in the breakfast, it turns to bad habits so quick…
If you're swinging an ax all day high fat diets were essential. Those breakfasts come from the 1800s from lumberjacks and railroad workers because of the constant labor they needed the fuel
Our breakfast is much healthier than in the US, but I think we overeat bread and exagerate on coffee. And we have two breakfasts, morning and afternoon.
I lived in Vietnam for a year and a half (US citizen) and I loved the lack of distinction. Nothing like squatting down for a bowl of Bun Cha or Bun Bo Hue for breakfast (or any first meal of the day for that matter)
It's crazy to me, born and raised in the U.S. I always assumed these "American Breakfast" foods were reserved for a special occasion, like a big family breakfast. And I guess that's because my mom only let me eat this way on the rare occasion we went out to a diner or something. We did eat non-sweet cereal, but the sweet stuff was only purchased once on a blue moon as a dessert item. I guess now, as an adult, I noticed people commenting on me eating things like rice and beans for breakfast and I thought, "hm, but why wouldn't I eat this for breakfast?" Then came the realization that a lot of people, even as adults, eat dessert for breakfast!
Eh i don’t really like the video cus it makes it seem like we just wanted to eat this shit. Nah traditional American breakfast; eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee has a historical reason. Before industrialization many families were laborers and farmers, eggs were cheap and easily attainable, and bacon was readily accessible with pigs being common livestock in many towns and family farms. Of course grains were important to grow and america basically ran on coffee since its inception. Like most big businesses the grain industry went on an advertising frenzy, marketing cereals and seed oils as healthy alternatives by being ‘low fat’, ‘low cholesterol’, and ‘easily digestible for quick energy’, theres a big market for “on the go food” as fast food is prevalent in the US.
It's funny that we eat rice and beans everyday at lunch in Brazil. It sounds really weird for us to have them for breakfast. I never saw nor heard about anybody here doing that.
@@Guizambaldi actually it's not uncommon for people in early rise or labor intensive jobs to have the same food they have for lunch as breakfast in brazil, esp on poorer or rural areas. not to mention it is served in public schools, and some kids have that as first meal of the day
Same. We would go visit some of my cousins and being with them going out to diners every single day for breakfast blew my mind. At first I thought THAT was just a special occasion because of our visit, but it wasn’t at all. They actually wasted money & health on that every day. Still love them though lol
Andre Ortega that person was saying that because they stay up so late, once they wake up it’s no longer morning because they’ve slept past it therefore, they don’t know what morning because they always sleep past it and they don’t know what breakfast is because they’ve never eaten in the morning
Southern European Breakfast Culture: 1. Simple toasted bread with butter and latte/cappuccino/cafe au lait Either that or 2. Espresso and a cigarette (and taking a dump afterwards)
@@bocasuja22 I will reply the same thing. Our breakfast is pretty basic but have variations too, like cake of corn or fubá, cuscuz (I don't know how to named in English) but it's something more northeastern.
@@lohaye3260 its cornmeal cake,in brazil typically the breakfast food is something you can eat with your hands and doesn't require cooking i said bread to exemplify the more common.
I get nauseous when I eat sweet foods in the morning. In germany we generally have bread rolls or slices with toppings. Yeah some people eat jam or a chocolate spread on their bread, but thankfully a sweet breakfast isn't the standart
A friend who had lived in Japan showed me a fairly quick, tasty breakfast dish: break an egg into a bowl of hot rice, stir it to until the egg is mixed thoroughly with the rice and lightly scrambled, then season with a little soy sauce. It's delicious and surprisingly filling.
Only possible with eggs from japan because of their strict regulations in place. As an Asian it's a fairly common breakfast consisting of toast, eggs and sometimes rice. Pair those with a coffee and you're good to go.
@@AccendinoMCM Well in America we don't eat a huge breakfast everyday. For most people it is a small quick meal and the diner style is not usually made often.
@@hegotdrip1319 and a lot of italians just skip breakfast altogether or just drink a quick espresso... It goes both ways. I havent eaten a croissant + cappuccino in months now. It's more of a summer thing for me and my friends.
So you said "it would be 30 minutes long" and I immediately said I'm there lol. I love when you go on these super nerdy deep dive cultural rants. It amuses me greatly. Yes, please to the breakfast video!!
When i was little i hated having to rush eating breakfast before school. When i was in college i started appreciate my grandma forcing me to eat big breakfast before classes coz i got very hungry by 11am. Being Asian i love my breakfast. It’s usually rice+hot soup & veggies. It was a big culture shock when i saw the breakfast menu in my dorm food hall.
@@VenusSucksIsn't it though if its one of first things he mentions in the video as a thing he'll talk about? Ok, sure. it's not clickbaitin a title, but there was a promise which was not fulfilled (concept of clickbait)
I'm surprised you didn't go after the sugar industry in this one and how they contributed to the American obesity epidemic. It's thanks to them we have dessert for breakfast or put sugar in everything.
its not only the sugar. there is tons of ingredients in american food that are forbidden in europe that cause cancers and make you more fat then just sugars. american food quality is disgusting.
@@metalvideos1961 thanks I just read it and wow... pretty shocking indeed. I used to wonder why tons of American brands aren't sold here but now I know very well why. It's truly awful. Not only the food makes you develop health problems over time but Healthcare itself is expensive as hell. Genuinely wondering how any person in their right mind can call the US the best country. They're being fed the poorest quality food, charged loads for Healthcare, tuition as well is expensive as heck even though it's cheap af or even free in some countries, high gun violence rate, etc...
I find it very interesting that American breakfast is so big and filled with sugary things and then (for what I've seen) lunch is a just a sandwich. I honestly cannot fathom eating just a sandwich for lunch
I wish this video discussed more about the why’s of American breakfast as opposed to what it is? It would’ve been interesting to learn more about why and how American breakfasts ended up this way, which what I expected from the title and the description???
There's multiple factors, all of which I'm sure I don't know. Marketing in the 50s and 60s is definitely one. Another he glossed over when he talked about the similarity to English breakfast is that those were working class breakfasts first for farmers and other laborers who were out in the field all day and needed the calories, then people working in factories for 16 hours a day. Just watched further into the video and wanted to clarify, I'm talking about factories in the late 19ht/early 20th century. When he talks about industrialization he's actually talking about post industrialization.
@@gohchujang9030 theyre not questions they just have question marks at the end as if someone is saying these sentences but in the tone that you would ask a question in
This felt like just watching the intro to a much longer, more thoroughly researched video essay - only for it to end after the introduction. Come on, dude, where's the rest of the video?
Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking, I was really interested in hearing more about the different types of breakfasts around the world or more in depth on why we eat dessert for breakfast. I know he says at the end that he didn't want to make the video too long but that's exactly what this kind of video really needed. Or if it was a guaranteed "yeah, ima post a part 2 so stay tuned" it's more of a "if there's interest, I'll post the part 2 of all the foods" he already spent all of the time recording this already (the B-roll footage) so why not just say it'll be a guaranteed part 2/more in depth on this subject? Idk, feels like a bad cliffhanger, I'll stick to it and wait for when he posts the breakfast analysis video but I was kinda hoping that after watching this I would come away with some different breakfast ideas.
@@trivialarmor7007 It looks like his next video has come out. By the Title it sounds like he is going to be going over each nation's breakfast one video at a time.
The 'belgian waffle' picture seen on 6'30" is really only eaten by tourists visiting Brussels (Belgium). Not by the locals. Never ever. I'm one of the locals and a fan of your channel.
@@ramoladsilva Its not really the waffle itself, its the toppings these kind of places put on it. there a bit more... extravagant then the traditional waffle's Belgian family's would eat, to put it mildly. This might be personal, but when we eat properly (home)made waffle's, it really doesn't need anything more then a bit of sugar. These giant towers of whipped cream, fruit & chocolate etc... these kinds of places put on it, just distract from the taste of the waffle itself. I can imagine people from other country's who are used to eating things allot sweeter really like it, But an average Belgian family would prefer a more subtle topping, so the taste of the waffle itself can come trough.
We usually eat cereals or bread with something like jam, cheese or nutella. Most of my friends don't eat breakfast at all. Also croissants or pain au chocolat are a good quick breakfast if you have to leave the house and somehow have time to go to a bakery.
In my country there is a thing called qaymoq or kaymak(natural cream that is taken from milk while processing the milk homemade) which is very delicious with bread. Then there is natural butter which is quite yellowish, brownish which is also extremely delicious and natural.Furthermore, We don't drink coffee much but tea mostly.
I’ve been teaching for 10 years now. When I first started, I never ate breakfast. And everyday about two hours before lunch time, I always felt my stomach about to die. Now, I eat oatmeal every morning. And I feel much better. And it also helps with my digestive system. I’ve learned that there is no one size fits all method that works well for everyone. It’s important to learn your own body. What works and doesn’t work for you.
I like grits which I think of as savory oatmeal even though they're two totally different grain types. Add whatever you want to it, takes 5 mins to boil, probably the one breakfast food Id make or never get tired of for a long time.
As a Belgian, let me just say that the waffles that Americans consider to be Belgian waffles are Brussels waffles and not liege waffles. Brussel waffles are a bit more fluffy and there are no suggar granules inside. Also the Liege waffles topped with all of that stuff, those are for tourists. We eat the liege waffle just on its own. The Brussel waffle, we do eat it with whipped cream.
Little do they know, that you only achieve this kind of knowledge, when you visit the Brussels Institute of Waffles, which all legal citizen of Belgium have to do, as soon as they get full aged. God bless you guys.
When I was in Belgium I didn't eat any waffles but the pastries were the best I've ever tasted in my life. I don't know why the pastries are so bad elsewhere.
We vietnamese here have such a strong breakfast. A whole bowl of phở or bún bò or anything they are all very nutritious. With a drink usually some mild ice tea or if you are wealthier you can have orange juice or milk
As an South Asian, this is my meals of the day (improved english and more accurate) Breakfast: Nun Bread with Beef or Rice with Beef Lunch: Indomie Migoreng Noodles or rice Dinner: Rice with Beef or Chicken
A slight modification of yours Breakfast: Rice, last nights dinner and an egg. Lunch: Rice and whatever is available Dinner: Rice and whatever is available
Breakfast in Ecuador is a cup of coffee or milk, buns, sometimes with butter or jam, and two boiled eggs or scrambled. Some men have more substantial breakfast in the lowlands with plantain, fried fish or beef stew, and rice.
I wish this would’ve gotten more into the history. Like America’s connection to the sugar trade, the origin of corn flakes, why poor nutrition during the age of industrialization led to the prevalence of snail-paced metabolism and subsequent obesity in impoverished america. There’s so much interesting history that didn’t get explored :(
You had a point until you started to refer to "metabolism" as this mythical thing. Your metabolism just describes the energy your body needs to function daily, it cannot just ""slow down"". Even relatively small changes would be the result of things like losing weight (especially muscle mass) or be very noticeable otherwise (like feeling very cold). Even the most (in)famous issue hypothyroidism is generally known for causing severe feelings of coldness and lethargy and generally at worst lowers your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE in short) by 100-200 kcal (that's about 5-12%) and, as said, is usually extremely noticeable because, surprise, your body actually needs that energy to make things work, it's not burning it for shits and giggles. Now, what sugars and simple carbs DO tend to do is make you hungry again relatively quickly and not provide the satiety that most foods that aren't hyperprocessed would which combined with the high energy density in these foods means it's extremely easy to overeat. Combine that with a more sedentary lifestyle (thus less muscle mass which tends to be energy expensive and less exercise which burns calories), a culture based heavily around cars and a lot of more-or-less overt propaganda and lobbying to disinform consumers and keep making profits off of people's overconsumption and you've basically got a perfect storm.
You should be ashamed, if something makes me proud as a Mexican is all the delicious options we have for breakfast (and for all the meals of the day for that matter) and you come here with some stereotypical bullshit
@@samynator0904 I’m sorry are you joking or just bored because there’s no way you can’t tell everyone on this post is joking please tell me you’re kidding and not that pressed/uptight.
Having come from China, after tasting sweets and beverages in the U.S., I almost thought the sugars I had in China all my life was fake because American stuff is 10 times sweeter. However, after spending four months studying in Germany I realized deserts and beverages in Germany and France are not nearly as sweet as their American counterparts…
They use high fructose corn syrup in America instead of Sugar(Cane or from other origins which is the case in Europe often due to tariffs). That stuff is super sweet.
@@ackack3706 I hate how sugary our deserts are. it honestly ruins the flavor of mostly everything. if I want a certain amount of flavor, it takes twice the amount to get the same amount of satisfaction.
In Poland it is normal to eat daily like bread or roll with ham, cheese some vegetables like tomatoes or cucumbers. It just never gets old and it's much healthier than fried beacon/eggs.
What you call “Diner Breakfast” is what we call just “a cooked breakfast” in the Uk and Ireland. Though we have regional variations. But out ingredients are a bit different Americans a candadians have different bacon and sausage. A cooked breakfast I associate with either weekends, or being on holiday, as it’s often served in hotels and restaurants.
Yeah, most Americans eat what he calls diner breakfast on weekends and holidays, because it takes longer to prepare. The cereal category is anytime, although he definitely emphasized the more sugary end of the spectrum.
Hi Canadian here!! My family is from the UK and our bacon and sausage are pretty similar to the UK and Ireland, but we also have American style as well. What’s funny is that in America they seem to call peameal “Canadian Bacon”. I guess Canada just has a little bit of both :)
Cooked/diner Breakfast is my favorite. Canadian bacon/ham, eggs over hard [or omlette], and some good hash browns and tall glass of apple juice, OJ, milk or carnation instant breakfast Biscuits [American] and gravy are good occasionally. I enjoy pancakes waffles and French toast. But usually get french toast. Muffins granola oatmeal beagle fruits and more are Also enjoyable. NEVER cram of wheat, maltomeal, grits, etc. Some breakfast casseroles are good.
It always bothers me when people say 'AMERICAN' breakfast; like everyone in a nation of over 328 million people eats the same thing. I have egg whites and fruit for breakfast, a lot of Americans I know do too. Rather than focusing on reddit's American stereotypes it would be more helpful to show a nuanced view of how people eat in different areas of the country.
@@Nick-qm7qc I know what you mean . Lots of people have oatmeal with fruits over there . Pancakes are more like a special meal on Sundays instead of an everyday breakfast .
as a non-american it's very helpful for me. Just imagining eat that type of foods every morning just makes me sick though (for anyone that maybe will said "then just don't eat it", I'm a teenager in a quite forcing family, so just imagine that you're FORCED to eat those because maybe apparently your parents is a boomer and believe in sweet breakfast supremacy, ughh I'm sick already)
@@Nick-qm7qc Well of course there is variety in every population, that goes without saying. In this video he is simply discussing what the _majority_ of Americans typically eat for breakfast. The majority of us *do* eat pancakes, waffles, eggs & bacon, or cereal for breakfast usually
I didn't even live in America, yet the place/area where I lived was really Americanized, so I often ate American-style breakfasts. I think that really messed up my relationship with sugar and food, as I gained a lot of weight, had an unhealthy sugar addiction and mostly ate junk growing up. Luckily, I'm in a healthy place now. I'm naturally a breakfast person, but i eat nutritious and well-portioned breakfasts that keep my satisfied yet are beneficial for my health. I don't really think many people realize how much your food habits growing up can affect your relationship with food as you get older
america is like that one who friend you had as a child who could do whatever he wanted like "damn he gets to eat dessert for breakfast" but then you grow up and realize oh he just didn't have someone who cared for what he ate or did
This felt like it was gonna be more in-depth than it was like I was expecting to see what other countries eat for breakfast and how they compare to ours, why we decided desert style items just needed to be eaten in the morning, etc we need a part 2
Same, but you can do a quick search and see it for yourself, I'm not american, I'm half asian half latina, I was so surprised when I realized what you guys eat. It is not a proper way to start the day. Sugar isn't your friend. While being in the states for 3 months I was always late to class cause I just couldn't eat what my roomates where having and needed to cook my own thing.
@@no_one2197 you are acting like the guy in the video, Im Mexican american,hell i dont eat like this and if i do i do it sparingly. and this is not what all americans eat, it just depends on the type of person and city, America is a diverse country with minorities. A lot of them
I know Johnny does a lot of education styled videos (thanks to his vox work), but on his personal channel, he has many videos aimed at just discussion and vlogging. The way he edits may also give off that vibe to newer viewers -because he edits for vox anyways. But I hope he puts in more stress on researching in the future.
I'm from Germany and we eat pretty much the same shit. And I can speak for France, Austria, Switzerland, GB, and Poland as well. I mean sure, there are some national dishes and whatnot, but everybody eats cereal, some really sweet shit or eggs and bacon for breakfast. Then again, and I'm sure the US is the same way in that regard, there are more than enough people who either don't have breakfast at all or just eat an apple, a banana or some other less unhealthy food.
I felt so cheated that the video ended without showing 1. More of the world and what they eat. 2. You sharing your updated breakfast which kind of ties into the prior. I really enjoy your posts!!! Keep them up the amazing work and posts.
So Korea traditionally used to have a full meal for breakfast with lots of veggies, rice with meat or fish and soup. I really think people should incorporate this. It is better than 600 empty calories full of sugar
True, we didn't eat breakfast at home since we left for school 05:30 the morning. So my mom packed me and my siblings an extra lunchbox to eat at school the morning. Was usually some rice (loved it when it was fried rice) with her special soy sauce blend in a smaller container, steamed veggies/some meat or even portions of the previous night's food. Miss those extra lunchboxes.
Most of the world just eats bread for breakfast. I think that is healthy enough and simple enough, rice is really filling and usually eaten for lunch though, but we don't eat it again for dinner, dinner is usually simple, just soup of somthing light.
@@RedHatClub completely unrelated but i just miss the time when my mum would give me extra money to buy breakfast at our cafeteria but i would just save it cause it isnt even open yet 😭

As an American who counts every ounce and gram of macros, it’s kinda terrifying how scary how much added sugar there is in things you’d think would be clean.
I'm from Japan and my mother made rice, miso soup, baked fish, natto (fermented soy), home made pickle by nuka, nori (seaweed) etc. I think I was eating most healthiest breakfast. My mother is 83 yo and her passion is playing table tennis with her group of friends and very competitive!
Happy to see Japanese people on English vids :D whenever they comment it’s very entertaining to read and man do you have a menu these Indian dishes have variety but we so less of that variety
Natto is the healthiest of the lot. Gut bacteria increases lifespans by 40%. I simply drink probiotic water culture which is a poor cousin of natto. Eat natto everyday on an empty stomach.

Once I saw pop tart in a store here in Israel. So I bought it to try. They said it’s very tasty. Also trey said it should be frozen or heated , well I think it should be thrown away😂. Just some weird chemical tasting cookie
yeah i am from the uk & we eat a ton of junk food, we do have the fried breakfast, cereal & toast as standard. but eating a pop tart made me feel sick... it tasted like the cheapest possible sweet pastry & jam, that had been preserved for 50 years. americans shine a lot in fresh savoury food, all their processed or sweet food is awful
As an American I grew up craving these breakfasts and it wasn’t until I got super busy and I couldn’t eat breakfast due to toke issues, a few years later all the cravings and sweets and sugars went away. I grew to appreciate all the delicious and healthy foods that don’t need sugar and traveling to other countries inspired me to improve my diet and health. Overall, probably not letting my children have sugary breakfasts lol
When I lived in Japan I adapted to the dinner for breakfast: rice, miso soup, and some type of meat. When I made my friend French toast, she said it was like having desert or a treat for breakfast.
GAAAAAAAHD i love Japanese breakfast. I lived there for a while, too. They just do everything better with food. Like seriously. Everything. ... except natto...
I love Japanese breakfast! When I eat bread for breakfast I always feel bloated and uncomfortable, but I don’t have the same problem with rice, miso soup and some fish, it’s very satisfying and feels like a proper meal.
Japanese breakfast is like already a buffet that it feeds the entire utopian family, u can get sick doing it. Thts why people just eat ramen instead, not instant.
Having lived in different countries in Europe over a period of 6 years, I observed that a lot of European eat sweets for breakfast as well. Nutella is a popular spread on toast in the morning, and sometimes folks would take toast, spread some butter, then sprinkle on either sprinkles or chocolate drink powder. Dessert for breakfast is really not just limited to the eating habits in the United States.
Also, look at a popular Belgian breakfast: Slice of bread, with butter, and a liberal coating of chocolate sprinkles. Are some pancakes and (real) maple syrup really any worse?
The difference is that usually the main component is a piece of bread with a thin layer of spread. While sweet spreads are available, it's by no means the standard everywhere. Meats and cheeses are popular too. The most common European breakfast items are bread (or another grainy/wheathy thing), cereal (can't get the amazingly sweet American versions here), milk and yoghurt.
I feel like the difference between eating sweets for breakfast in US and Europe is the fact that US eats more factory produced food with lots of unhealthy stuff while Europeans eat more hand made or is just not as bad or “fake”. I might be wrong but that’s what I perceived from going to both places
I’m Canadian (which means we eat breakfast exactly the same as Americans) and I totally agree with you, even as a kid I absolutely hated the culture of loading up on sugar for breakfast I don’t like super sugary foods, I like eggs and bacon for sure and sausage and beans and hash browns but the whole waffle/pancake/cereal/doughnut thing is insane to me, especially since it’s advertised as nutritious that’s just blatant BS.
@@RA-hx9uc Wake up at 5 AM. Do hair/toilet/teeth/clothing. It's 5:30. Train leaves at 6:15 It's a 20 minute walk. It's a good idea to arrive 10 minutes early. You quickly throw together some sandwhiches and leave your house at 5:45 latest. Much laziness, such wow.
Rice for breakfast varies in India. There are certain rice dishes mainly eaten for breakfast like Lemon, Tamarind or Tomato fried Rice and Lentil or Milk cooked Rice. Other than these, Idli-dosa are common rice based dishes.
@@gazibizi9504India has a plethora of cuisines ....but some of the stuff we eat includes : - 1) Parantha ( stuffed parantha) 2) poha 3) upma These dishes have variants.... Plus, this is only my experience ^^
I as a Indian, my favourite breakfast is In sweet version- panjiri( a powder of roasted whole wheat flour in ghee mixed with with powdered roasted peanuts, almonds, cashew nuts, coconuts and some powdered raw Indian sugar called khaand) with a glass of milk. In savoury- upma with some buttermilk. Upma is a savoury samolena dish with some peanuts and cashew nuts. It's quick to make and take only 5-10 minutes, very less oil and salt.
ihop sucks, it tastes like swallowing 5 gallons of corn syrup, and im saying that as an American. try a local diner it tastes more authentic to the state you’re visiting! :)
Honestly I go to Ihop after dinner with friends as dessert. Their eggs and meat are mediocre while their sugary """""breakfast""" items like their weird french toast and pancake options are delicious. If you go to Ihop for actual breakfast you'll be dissapointed.
I live in Norway. My daily breakfast is usually about four pieces of toast with butter and either honey or jam. Occasionally I might have cereal as well or eggs instead, but pancakes are only for the weekends.
Please share your "breakfast-experience" - I'm running out off ideas for my meals haha Edit: Normally I just eat plain yoghurt in summer and some miso soup with rice in winter, so thank you so much for your recommendation guys! I'm gonna try all of those :D
Egg and ham burrito. Scramble eggs hard, otherwise a lot of juice will drip out of it. Dice ham and fry a little. Heat up tortilla 11 sec in microwave before assemblage. Add salt and pepper if nothing else because salt is essential for the body :)
@Nikolaij Brouiller B'en je sais, mais j'apprécie votre élaboration. Feel free to correct grammar things, il y a trop longtemp depuis que j'ai vécu en France. But yeah, the American ideal for efficiency has led to more/bigger food items or meal portions, for less money, often at the expense of - among other things - richness of flavor. (Also, both sugar and margarine are cheap) There's a real flavor difference between margarine and butter in the U.S., but there's an almost equal difference between American butter and French butter. And idk if it's fair to throw all American flour under the bus, but it is dumb that bleached flour is standard, and you have to be intentional to seek out non-bleached (aka normal) flour.
And that is the reason my mom let me eat cake for breakfast, she was like “just have milk with it” (this was of course usually only after someone’s birthday..since you know, we had cake in the house)
Russia: Any type of milk-based porridge (rice, oat, buckwheat, barley, millet, semolina etc) with berries or fruits preserves + bread with butter and cheese + tea. Nice breakfast from my childhood.
I have friends in Italy who usually eat a small sweet pastry for breakfast. I know it's not the stack of pancakes and pop tarts we eat but it's not uncommon around the world to have something sweet for breakfast.
Man I love me a good empty cornetto, if the pastry is well done I will forever buy that one from you. But I also like the Pistachio cream ones (when they are homemade)
@@LumoSkendo595 Really? Where I grew up (semi-balkans), its 50:50 split among sweet and savory. Mostly cold cuts, some bread, jam, butter or cornflakes. Pretty much a hotel version of breakfast, only ofc less elaborate.
Being Mexican, usually my mom would buy cereals for me, like fruit loops and cookie crisp (a personal favorite), buy she wouldn't let me have those for breakfast, they were kind of treats or snacks for the afternoon
As a Swede, my usual breakfast is oatmeal (I think it was called idk in Swedish it’s called havergrynsgröt) with applesauce on it (again, not sure that’s what it’s called so please correct me if not but we call it äppelmos) and milk around it and with that I usually have a cup of coffee
In Russia we usually have porridge for breakfast. And in Azerbaijan we have salty cottage cheese with sesame seeds on bread and some tea with sugar. Breakfast is really about what is available and fast to eat in the morning
Being a Russian myself, my breakfast is usually either a sandwich or bacon + eggs or that porridge or Idk, just boiled eggs. As others have noted, it all comes down to what's available and what's fast, I don't think my country has any breakfast identity
My grandparents took me to Florida as a kid and I was so happy to have just donoughts with sprinkles every morning at the villa complex. Suffice to say when we returned to the UK they were like absolutely not. On the weekend though I might have a cinnamon swirl or a strawberry croissant with a coffee instead of the usual plain crossant but in the week I’d rarely feel hungry let alone crave for something sweet.
As a man who is very likely to die from heart disease, stroke or bowl cancer, having only sugar to chose from for breakfast is really annoying and I just need healthy quick morning meals
@@BioHazardCL4 I can recommend Oatmeal or the Swiss variety Bircher Musli with some fresh fruits. Here is a nice video on it ua-cam.com/video/MuajFTgkoHw/v-deo.html. It fills you until lunch and you can vary it a lot by adding some nuts, dried fruit or use different (seasonal) fresh fruits.
@@BioHazardCL4 Uhhh I don't know what country you're talking about cause if you're American you absolutely don't have just sugar to choose from, not even remotely close.
D U depends where you live surely. I’m not American but if you’re in a poor part of town you’re not gonna have whole foods or health food places. You get all the fast food joints. I’ve seen a vox program on it!!
Everyone knows that only old people would go to IHop, Denny's, Village Inn, etc... in the morning.... These restaurants are primary for drunk people to go to past midnight after the club
I used to believe in that until I found out it's a shitty ass advice! My conclusions so far : skip breakfast, skip artificial sugar, eat in intervals of about 3 hours, eat natural, excercise daily. Your body will thank you for life!
-Oatmeal with an Apple -Greek yogurt with granola and blueberries -Mini-Shredded Wheat (no sugar) with Milk and dehydrated strawberries -Whole Wheat Toast, with Guac, and hard boiled egg. And on the rare occasion I'll have a toasted Eggo with peanut butter if I'm in a rush. "Adulting" 🎵Bah Duh Pah🎵
He glossed over some of the fundamental things that made our food sweeter and healthier over time. Instead of sharing why molasses and fat were cheaper and ultimately more favored among pioneers he yelled at americans for choosing poorly
@@dad_patrol I mean it's quite obvious. The marketing shaped the way Americans understood breakfast. And obviously industrialization introduced quick and easy breakfasts while everyone was on the go to work.
@@justSomeUserOnYT Combine this with corporations that are free to lobby the FDA/whatever and fund biased studies and you have a perfect environment for mass disinformation, seen in how we thought carbs could do no wrong up until recently.
He makes it sound like we eat double triple chocolate cinnamon pancake waffles with extra chocolate and an entire can of whipped cream with chocolate syrup, with a carton of eggs and a package of bacon, ham, and sausage each breakfast. 2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon, and a slice of toast. That's my typical breakfast.
Isn’t it weird how more parents in the 80s and 90s didn’t seem to clue in to the disturbing amount of sugar in cereal? I wanna see your alternative breakfasts!
Back then, people in general were convinced that fat was the problem and hardly thought about sugar at all. There was a lot of bad science behind this thinking, as well as misguided government recommendations.
Our parents were fed a lot of bad science back then My grandma used to make me Coco Wheats, which is porridge but w/ chocolate and sugar She thought it was healthy because the brand advertised their products that way for years They've set regulations since then so now any brand can't just blatantly claim they're healthy
In the Philippines (and in Asia in general), breakfast is a savory meal. It’s mostly just chicken/beef/pork/fish with a side of garlic fried rice with tea or coffee.

As a non-American I do like American breakfasts but I just can't imagine having that like every morning.It's more like a treat than proper everyday breakfast for me.
Like 85-95% of us treat it like that don't worry.
Pancakes were definitely for weekend breakfasts and not even every weekend. We would make pancakes for birthday breakfast and mother's and father's day. I had cereal or toast for breakfast most days
@@kevinliang9502 even then you only should have the pancakes after you eat a real breakfast
At least from a New Yorkers view, 90% of us don't even eat breakfast, and when we do, its a special occasion with friends. Us Americans usually don't have time to eat in the mornings
Eggs is another common breakfast. However it depends what you eat on the side. MOst i would say eat some time of pork or toast with butter and jelly. I eat lots of chopped veggies and quinoa with my eggs, its actually my "healthy breakfast" day LOL.

In America, we'd never have veggies for breakfast, even though that's really healthy 😋 🙃 😅 🙄 😐 🙂
why not give kids a very small bowl of cereal + healthy things for breakfast? have a bit of unhealthy foods yk
This didn’t really explain why it’s like this. Diner breakfast came from our farming days. Most of America used to be a farm. We ate foods from the farm that were incredibly calorie dense in order to maintain the energy to do farm work. Cereal breakfast came from the 40s and 50s. No longer on farms, but still lacking a lot in transportation in our gigantic country, we had basically no fresh food. Hence everything came in a can or a box (you know all those weird preserved food recipes from the 50s) We just continued these two traditions.
Underrated comment. I was waiting for information like this from the video but it never appeared..
That's a remarkably clear and logical explanation.
Thank you, explained it best on the most simplest and understanding way. It all really comes down to tradition, literally every culture is like this. Surprised people in the comments are acting like they are any different

Coming from a Filipino household, Breakfast for me is whatever didn't get eaten from the previous night.
That's a good breakfast. Any soup included hopefully? I love soup at breakfast. Grandma used to do that. May she rest in peace.
Coming from a single person who cooks a lot of food and routinely has leftovers, this is my preferred method of breakfast
Lol, yass, but we usually like bread in the morning with coffee. Though, I don’t really like coffee, so I eat the bread.
I sometimes wake up too late in the summer, so I just eat lunch. My aunt gave us some Pork Sinigang in a Ube Ice cream container. It was so goodd. Then with some green beans with squash my mom made the other day. Soo good and more vegetables!
Totoo yan last night leftover rice is goona be friedrice in the morning
Coming from an indonesian household. My mom absolutely would only cook once a day if could, twice is the maximum, so our dinner is usually our earlier breakfast left over. But then again, my house almost never left anything out, we simply eat everything.

The cereals are also deserts in a way according to his consideration.
As an '80s and '90s kid I have all the memories of "breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" and then people eating things that really suggest that's not at all the case. It's really nice to see someone talking about this objectively and encouraging people to question it.
It's all marketing propaganda. Along with lobbying in the government to tell us to eat 7-11 servings of carbohydrates on a food pyramid. Now we know that equates to 7-11 servings of sugar a day.
I'm with you on that with some 70's thrown in. It still amazes me how deeply advertising and marketing spiels were accepted as fact and how gullible society was. A company funds a self serving study and the outcome is now scientific fact.Case in point, cereals with 40% sugar received a heart foundation healthy tick.
He’s right... America adds sugar to everything. Especially breakfast items.
Edit: When I said sugar I meant “sugar” of every kind including high fructose corn syrup, powdered sugar, and everything in between.
no we don't we add corn syrup.
@@dougnapier6441 I was about to say that XD Corn syrup is way cheaper and waaay worse. It contains fructose that can only be stored in the liver so you get fatty liver if you eat too much.
Mexican sugar cane is tariffed so we use corn syrup from the midwest instead. If you go to a store you can buy a product called Mexican coke. The difference is Mexican coke uses sugar cane and our soda uses corn syrup. My father swears how much better the Mexican coke is.

As a Brazilian, a cup of coffee with milk, bread with cheese (very rarely ham or eggs) and a fruit gets me going and is all I ever crave in the mornings. I could not stand a breakfast so "rich" in fat, as the one with bacon and pork, or so full of sugar either.
Trinidad here (Caribbean) and it’s the exact same! And it was how I was raised :) Coffee and some bread and cheese, and if you really get lucky, a banana/apple/grapes
YES! fellow brazilian here! my breakfast nowadays is dark coffee without sugar, bread and eggs (sometimes cheese or light cream cheese with it) and papaya. i change fruits sometimes but it’s usually one rich in fibers. i love that we don’t have the culture of eating cereals or too much fat in the breakfast, it turns to bad habits so quick…
If you're swinging an ax all day high fat diets were essential. Those breakfasts come from the 1800s from lumberjacks and railroad workers because of the constant labor they needed the fuel
I've been living in Brazil for a few months now and even the 5 year old children here get coffee for breakfast. Bit weird to me😮
Our breakfast is much healthier than in the US, but I think we overeat bread and exagerate on coffee. And we have two breakfasts, morning and afternoon.

It's crazy to me, born and raised in the U.S. I always assumed these "American Breakfast" foods were reserved for a special occasion, like a big family breakfast. And I guess that's because my mom only let me eat this way on the rare occasion we went out to a diner or something. We did eat non-sweet cereal, but the sweet stuff was only purchased once on a blue moon as a dessert item. I guess now, as an adult, I noticed people commenting on me eating things like rice and beans for breakfast and I thought, "hm, but why wouldn't I eat this for breakfast?" Then came the realization that a lot of people, even as adults, eat dessert for breakfast!
Eh i don’t really like the video cus it makes it seem like we just wanted to eat this shit. Nah traditional American breakfast; eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee has a historical reason. Before industrialization many families were laborers and farmers, eggs were cheap and easily attainable, and bacon was readily accessible with pigs being common livestock in many towns and family farms. Of course grains were important to grow and america basically ran on coffee since its inception. Like most big businesses the grain industry went on an advertising frenzy, marketing cereals and seed oils as healthy alternatives by being ‘low fat’, ‘low cholesterol’, and ‘easily digestible for quick energy’, theres a big market for “on the go food” as fast food is prevalent in the US.
It's funny that we eat rice and beans everyday at lunch in Brazil. It sounds really weird for us to have them for breakfast. I never saw nor heard about anybody here doing that.
@@Guizambaldi actually it's not uncommon for people in early rise or labor intensive jobs to have the same food they have for lunch as breakfast in brazil, esp on poorer or rural areas. not to mention it is served in public schools, and some kids have that as first meal of the day

Same. We would go visit some of my cousins and being with them going out to diners every single day for breakfast blew my mind. At first I thought THAT was just a special occasion because of our visit, but it wasn’t at all. They actually wasted money & health on that every day. Still love them though lol

There's multiple factors, all of which I'm sure I don't know. Marketing in the 50s and 60s is definitely one. Another he glossed over when he talked about the similarity to English breakfast is that those were working class breakfasts first for farmers and other laborers who were out in the field all day and needed the calories, then people working in factories for 16 hours a day.
Just watched further into the video and wanted to clarify, I'm talking about factories in the late 19ht/early 20th century. When he talks about industrialization he's actually talking about post industrialization.

Or if it was a guaranteed "yeah, ima post a part 2 so stay tuned" it's more of a "if there's interest, I'll post the part 2 of all the foods" he already spent all of the time recording this already (the B-roll footage) so why not just say it'll be a guaranteed part 2/more in depth on this subject? Idk, feels like a bad cliffhanger, I'll stick to it and wait for when he posts the breakfast analysis video but I was kinda hoping that after watching this I would come away with some different breakfast ideas.
@@trivialarmor7007 It looks like his next video has come out. By the Title it sounds like he is going to be going over each nation's breakfast one video at a time.
The 'belgian waffle' picture seen on 6'30" is really only eaten by tourists visiting Brussels (Belgium). Not by the locals. Never ever. I'm one of the locals and a fan of your channel.
Genuinely curious, what do locals eat?
@@ramoladsilva usually it's just bread with something on it like cheese
@@ramoladsilva Its not really the waffle itself, its the toppings these kind of places put on it.
there a bit more... extravagant then the traditional waffle's Belgian family's would eat, to put it mildly.
This might be personal, but when we eat properly (home)made waffle's, it really doesn't need anything more then a bit of sugar.
These giant towers of whipped cream, fruit & chocolate etc... these kinds of places put on it, just distract from the taste of the waffle itself.
I can imagine people from other country's who are used to eating things allot sweeter really like it,
But an average Belgian family would prefer a more subtle topping, so the taste of the waffle itself can come trough.
We usually eat cereals or bread with something like jam, cheese or nutella.
Most of my friends don't eat breakfast at all.
Also croissants or pain au chocolat are a good quick breakfast if you have to leave the house and somehow have time to go to a bakery.
Fieliep just like in holland bread with cheese or boterhamworst
In my country there is a thing called qaymoq or kaymak(natural cream that is taken from milk while processing the milk homemade) which is very delicious with bread. Then there is natural butter which is quite yellowish, brownish which is also extremely delicious and natural.Furthermore, We don't drink coffee much but tea mostly.
I’ve been teaching for 10 years now. When I first started, I never ate breakfast. And everyday about two hours before lunch time, I always felt my stomach about to die. Now, I eat oatmeal every morning. And I feel much better. And it also helps with my digestive system. I’ve learned that there is no one size fits all method that works well for everyone. It’s important to learn your own body. What works and doesn’t work for you.
Oatmeal is like the perfect breakfast! Add in some fruits and peanut butter so it doesn’t taste completely like wet dirt and you’re good for the day
@@serbtrooper99 "wet dirt" lmao. But yeah, adding fruit and nuts is great.
Yeh especially homemade oatmeal not the stuff that comes from the packet because you can really control the sugar and flavor.
I dont eat breakfast anymore because my stomach feels like eating itself at around 9 to 11 o´clock, no matter what or how much I eat in the morning.
I like grits which I think of as savory oatmeal even though they're two totally different grain types. Add whatever you want to it, takes 5 mins to boil, probably the one breakfast food Id make or never get tired of for a long time.

As a Belgian, let me just say that the waffles that Americans consider to be Belgian waffles are Brussels waffles and not liege waffles. Brussel waffles are a bit more fluffy and there are no suggar granules inside. Also the Liege waffles topped with all of that stuff, those are for tourists. We eat the liege waffle just on its own. The Brussel waffle, we do eat it with whipped cream.
Little do they know, that you only achieve this kind of knowledge, when you visit the Brussels Institute of Waffles, which all legal citizen of Belgium have to do, as soon as they get full aged. God bless you guys.
I'm sorry Brussel waffles, but I jost loove Liege waffle so much more😍

@@fieldrunner5412 I give af. I'm fascinated with cuisine, cultural ties, and how it evolves.

Breakfast in Ecuador is a cup of coffee or milk, buns, sometimes with butter or jam, and two boiled eggs or scrambled. Some men have more substantial breakfast in the lowlands with plantain, fried fish or beef stew, and rice.
I wish this would’ve gotten more into the history. Like America’s connection to the sugar trade, the origin of corn flakes, why poor nutrition during the age of industrialization led to the prevalence of snail-paced metabolism and subsequent obesity in impoverished america. There’s so much interesting history that didn’t get explored :(
Wow, only from your comment alone I'd love to hear more about it!
That sounds like it would be interesting!
That would have been so much more interesting but nope, just some douche complaining for the whole video.
Also would like to see how high fructose corn syrup figures in, which I feel certain it does.
You had a point until you started to refer to "metabolism" as this mythical thing.
Your metabolism just describes the energy your body needs to function daily, it cannot just ""slow down"".
Even relatively small changes would be the result of things like losing weight (especially muscle mass) or be very noticeable otherwise (like feeling very cold). Even the most (in)famous issue hypothyroidism is generally known for causing severe feelings of coldness and lethargy and generally at worst lowers your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE in short) by 100-200 kcal (that's about 5-12%) and, as said, is usually extremely noticeable because, surprise, your body actually needs that energy to make things work, it's not burning it for shits and giggles.
Now, what sugars and simple carbs DO tend to do is make you hungry again relatively quickly and not provide the satiety that most foods that aren't hyperprocessed would which combined with the high energy density in these foods means it's extremely easy to overeat.
Combine that with a more sedentary lifestyle (thus less muscle mass which tends to be energy expensive and less exercise which burns calories), a culture based heavily around cars and a lot of more-or-less overt propaganda and lobbying to disinform consumers and keep making profits off of people's overconsumption and you've basically got a perfect storm.

Having come from China, after tasting sweets and beverages in the U.S., I almost thought the sugars I had in China all my life was fake because American stuff is 10 times sweeter. However, after spending four months studying in Germany I realized deserts and beverages in Germany and France are not nearly as sweet as their American counterparts…
They use high fructose corn syrup in America instead of Sugar(Cane or from other origins which is the case in Europe often due to tariffs). That stuff is super sweet.
@@pedrorequio5515 also they add dextrose, and other types to make sugar types lower on ingredients list
They are so sweet. I physically cannot consume them. I always feel dizzy after having just a bite of American desserts.
@@ackack3706 I hate how sugary our deserts are. it honestly ruins the flavor of mostly everything. if I want a certain amount of flavor, it takes twice the amount to get the same amount of satisfaction.
@@kyle18934 that's the point, they want you to eat more
In Poland it is normal to eat daily like bread or roll with ham, cheese some vegetables like tomatoes or cucumbers. It just never gets old and it's much healthier than fried beacon/eggs.
Eggs are healthy tho and can fit nice on the bread or you can soft boil them or eat them scrambled but yeah too much fried egg can be unhealthy
Bread is sugar
@@gomangoism depends, I make my own and I give no sugar at all
What you call “Diner Breakfast” is what we call just “a cooked breakfast” in the Uk and Ireland. Though we have regional variations. But out ingredients are a bit different Americans a candadians have different bacon and sausage.
A cooked breakfast I associate with either weekends, or being on holiday, as it’s often served in hotels and restaurants.
Yeah, most Americans eat what he calls diner breakfast on weekends and holidays, because it takes longer to prepare.
The cereal category is anytime, although he definitely emphasized the more sugary end of the spectrum.
Hi Canadian here!! My family is from the UK and our bacon and sausage are pretty similar to the UK and Ireland, but we also have American style as well. What’s funny is that in America they seem to call peameal “Canadian Bacon”. I guess Canada just has a little bit of both :)
must say that most canadians miss out on baked beans and definitely black pudding.. :((
Cooked/diner Breakfast is my favorite.
Canadian bacon/ham, eggs over hard [or omlette], and some good hash browns and tall glass of apple juice, OJ, milk or carnation instant breakfast
Biscuits [American] and gravy are good occasionally.
I enjoy pancakes waffles and French toast. But usually get french toast.
Muffins granola oatmeal beagle fruits and more are Also enjoyable.
NEVER cram of wheat, maltomeal, grits, etc.
Some breakfast casseroles are good.
Diner breakfast is a treat its maybe 4 to 5 times per year we mostly just have coffee

A considerate aspect of this video is that he has explained American breakfast for viewers who aren't familiar with American breakfast.
right, Americans tend to view the world as America
It always bothers me when people say 'AMERICAN' breakfast; like everyone in a nation of over 328 million people eats the same thing. I have egg whites and fruit for breakfast, a lot of Americans I know do too. Rather than focusing on reddit's American stereotypes it would be more helpful to show a nuanced view of how people eat in different areas of the country.
@@Nick-qm7qc I know what you mean . Lots of people have oatmeal with fruits over there . Pancakes are more like a special meal on Sundays instead of an everyday breakfast .
as a non-american it's very helpful for me. Just imagining eat that type of foods every morning just makes me sick though (for anyone that maybe will said "then just don't eat it", I'm a teenager in a quite forcing family, so just imagine that you're FORCED to eat those because maybe apparently your parents is a boomer and believe in sweet breakfast supremacy, ughh I'm sick already)
@@Nick-qm7qc Well of course there is variety in every population, that goes without saying. In this video he is simply discussing what the _majority_ of Americans typically eat for breakfast. The majority of us *do* eat pancakes, waffles, eggs & bacon, or cereal for breakfast usually
I didn't even live in America, yet the place/area where I lived was really Americanized, so I often ate American-style breakfasts. I think that really messed up my relationship with sugar and food, as I gained a lot of weight, had an unhealthy sugar addiction and mostly ate junk growing up. Luckily, I'm in a healthy place now. I'm naturally a breakfast person, but i eat nutritious and well-portioned breakfasts that keep my satisfied yet are beneficial for my health. I don't really think many people realize how much your food habits growing up can affect your relationship with food as you get older
Other: should we eat breakfast or not
*Me: Wakes up at 1 pm*

thats the best metaphor ive read about this

This felt like it was gonna be more in-depth than it was like I was expecting to see what other countries eat for breakfast and how they compare to ours, why we decided desert style items just needed to be eaten in the morning, etc we need a part 2
Same, but you can do a quick search and see it for yourself, I'm not american, I'm half asian half latina, I was so surprised when I realized what you guys eat. It is not a proper way to start the day. Sugar isn't your friend.

There is a part 2. Recently uploaded. Its pretty interesting too
I'm from Germany and we eat pretty much the same shit. And I can speak for France, Austria, Switzerland, GB, and Poland as well. I mean sure, there are some national dishes and whatnot, but everybody eats cereal, some really sweet shit or eggs and bacon for breakfast. Then again, and I'm sure the US is the same way in that regard, there are more than enough people who either don't have breakfast at all or just eat an apple, a banana or some other less unhealthy food.
I felt so cheated that the video ended without showing
1. More of the world and what they eat.
2. You sharing your updated breakfast which kind of ties into the prior.

So Korea traditionally used to have a full meal for breakfast with lots of veggies, rice with meat or fish and soup. I really think people should incorporate this. It is better than 600 empty calories full of sugar
Would that be leftovers though? How would people have the time to make these foods, especially when they’re opting for fast options like cereal
True, we didn't eat breakfast at home since we left for school 05:30 the morning. So my mom packed me and my siblings an extra lunchbox to eat at school the morning. Was usually some rice (loved it when it was fried rice) with her special soy sauce blend in a smaller container, steamed veggies/some meat or even portions of the previous night's food. Miss those extra lunchboxes.
Most of the world just eats bread for breakfast. I think that is healthy enough and simple enough, rice is really filling and usually eaten for lunch though, but we don't eat it again for dinner, dinner is usually simple, just soup of somthing light.

Having lived in different countries in Europe over a period of 6 years, I observed that a lot of European eat sweets for breakfast as well. Nutella is a popular spread on toast in the morning, and sometimes folks would take toast, spread some butter, then sprinkle on either sprinkles or chocolate drink powder. Dessert for breakfast is really not just limited to the eating habits in the United States.
Also, look at a popular Belgian breakfast: Slice of bread, with butter, and a liberal coating of chocolate sprinkles. Are some pancakes and (real) maple syrup really any worse?
I had a German friend who had Nutella for breakfast almost every day
The difference is that usually the main component is a piece of bread with a thin layer of spread. While sweet spreads are available, it's by no means the standard everywhere. Meats and cheeses are popular too. The most common European breakfast items are bread (or another grainy/wheathy thing), cereal (can't get the amazingly sweet American versions here), milk and yoghurt.
@@4stringedbass There are people who drink soft drinks in the morning? Wow, I can't even stand them in the day.
I feel like the difference between eating sweets for breakfast in US and Europe is the fact that US eats more factory produced food with lots of unhealthy stuff while Europeans eat more hand made or is just not as bad or “fake”. I might be wrong but that’s what I perceived from going to both places
I’m Canadian (which means we eat breakfast exactly the same as Americans) and I totally agree with you, even as a kid I absolutely hated the culture of loading up on sugar for breakfast I don’t like super sugary foods, I like eggs and bacon for sure and sausage and beans and hash browns but the whole waffle/pancake/cereal/doughnut thing is insane to me, especially since it’s advertised as nutritious that’s just blatant BS.

But yeah, the American ideal for efficiency has led to more/bigger food items or meal portions, for less money, often at the expense of - among other things - richness of flavor. (Also, both sugar and margarine are cheap)
There's a real flavor difference between margarine and butter in the U.S., but there's an almost equal difference between American butter and French butter.
And idk if it's fair to throw all American flour under the bus, but it is dumb that bleached flour is standard, and you have to be intentional to seek out non-bleached (aka normal) flour.

Man I love me a good empty cornetto, if the pastry is well done I will forever buy that one from you. But I also like the Pistachio cream ones (when they are homemade)
same ive grown up in the balkans and the only type of breakfast ive known is sweet
Same here in Brazil, cake and fruits for breakfast is extremely common
@@LumoSkendo595 Really? Where I grew up (semi-balkans), its 50:50 split among sweet and savory. Mostly cold cuts, some bread, jam, butter or cornflakes. Pretty much a hotel version of breakfast, only ofc less elaborate.
My Man Johnny Harris Just Spent 15 Minutes Ranting about the IHop Menu and Branded it as a deep and critical analysis on the American Breakfat
Being Mexican, usually my mom would buy cereals for me, like fruit loops and cookie crisp (a personal favorite), buy she wouldn't let me have those for breakfast, they were kind of treats or snacks for the afternoon
cookie crispppppppp
Raised American but my mom did the same. Never Cookie Crisp though. We’d get generic brand cocoa pebbles as after school snack sometimes
Glad your mom knew about the sugar content in the "most important meal of the day."
Literal cookies disguised as "breakfast cereal". No wonder we have an obesity epidemic
Los Frutilupis
As a Swede, my usual breakfast is oatmeal (I think it was called idk in Swedish it’s called havergrynsgröt) with applesauce on it (again, not sure that’s what it’s called so please correct me if not but we call it äppelmos) and milk around it and with that I usually have a cup of coffee
I physically can’t eat anything sweet in the morning it makes me sick. Eggs are my favorite
Same i eat rice and spicy wings in the morning
I literally drink tea and eat an apple in the morning
In Germany we usually start with Bread and whatever you want or cornflakes
@@ragged2233 I like their cold cuts and cheeses too
eggs are the perfect food to eat when you just wake up
"I bet a lot of you watching don't eat breakfast"
I bet a lot of us don't even wake up in the morning
To be fair, I also don't go to bed in the evening anymore.
Same i go to bed at night instead
Four thirty, every morning, I have to chug coffee like it's going out of style tho.
Hey it's still eleven... thirty. I knew I had to go to bed because I saw the sun rising.
I usually wake up around noon (when I’m not working) and just combine my breakfast with lunch. You can save an entire meal that way.
In Russia we usually have porridge for breakfast. And in Azerbaijan we have salty cottage cheese with sesame seeds on bread and some tea with sugar.
Breakfast is really about what is available and fast to eat in the morning
For someone frequenting Russia and Azerbaijan, your english is very good!
We also have the same breakfast in iran
мы как англичане короче
The Azerbaijan breakfast sounds really good.
Being a Russian myself, my breakfast is usually either a sandwich or bacon + eggs or that porridge or Idk, just boiled eggs. As others have noted, it all comes down to what's available and what's fast, I don't think my country has any breakfast identity
My grandparents took me to Florida as a kid and I was so happy to have just donoughts with sprinkles every morning at the villa complex. Suffice to say when we returned to the UK they were like absolutely not. On the weekend though I might have a cinnamon swirl or a strawberry croissant with a coffee instead of the usual plain crossant but in the week I’d rarely feel hungry let alone crave for something sweet.
It's funny to see how "first world problem" this is.
and in most of that it's simply ☕
As a man who is very likely to die from heart disease, stroke or bowl cancer, having only sugar to chose from for breakfast is really annoying and I just need healthy quick morning meals
@@BioHazardCL4 I can recommend Oatmeal or the Swiss variety Bircher Musli with some fresh fruits. Here is a nice video on it ua-cam.com/video/MuajFTgkoHw/v-deo.html. It fills you until lunch and you can vary it a lot by adding some nuts, dried fruit or use different (seasonal) fresh fruits.
@@BioHazardCL4 Uhhh I don't know what country you're talking about cause if you're American you absolutely don't have just sugar to choose from, not even remotely close.
D U depends where you live surely. I’m not American but if you’re in a poor part of town you’re not gonna have whole foods or health food places. You get all the fast food joints. I’ve seen a vox program on it!!
Everyone knows that only old people would go to IHop, Denny's, Village Inn, etc... in the morning.... These restaurants are primary for drunk people to go to past midnight after the club
fr tho ihop slaps when youre a few drinks in
That's why they're open so late. Nothing beats a pancake at 11 pm.
i constantly forget yall americans leave clubs so early hahah, afterclub food IS breakfast in europe
to be clear i honestly think yall getting sleep is superior to our way of clubbing
@@filmbrophobic It's not legal to go clubbing all night in a lot of places in the US they can't serve alcohol after 2 A.M. so no alcohol no clubbing.
In Germany we say: eat breakfast like a emperor, lunch like a king and dinner like a beggar
There is that idiom in spanish too!
We also say that in french !
here in India too
I used to believe in that until I found out it's a shitty ass advice!
My conclusions so far : skip breakfast, skip artificial sugar, eat in intervals of about 3 hours, eat natural, excercise daily. Your body will thank you for life!
Same here in Egypt!
-Oatmeal with an Apple
-Greek yogurt with granola and blueberries
-Mini-Shredded Wheat (no sugar) with Milk and dehydrated strawberries
-Whole Wheat Toast, with Guac, and hard boiled egg.
And on the rare occasion I'll have a toasted Eggo with peanut butter if I'm in a rush.
"Adulting" 🎵Bah Duh Pah🎵
With this title I was hoping more for a history lesson on the evolution of breaky not a rant on why you hate breakfast.
He glossed over some of the fundamental things that made our food sweeter and healthier over time. Instead of sharing why molasses and fat were cheaper and ultimately more favored among pioneers he yelled at americans for choosing poorly
*unhealthier over time
@@dad_patrol I mean it's quite obvious. The marketing shaped the way Americans understood breakfast.
And obviously industrialization introduced quick and easy breakfasts while everyone was on the go to work.
@@justSomeUserOnYT Combine this with corporations that are free to lobby the FDA/whatever and fund biased studies and you have a perfect environment for mass disinformation, seen in how we thought carbs could do no wrong up until recently.
He makes it sound like we eat double triple chocolate cinnamon pancake waffles with extra chocolate and an entire can of whipped cream with chocolate syrup, with a carton of eggs and a package of bacon, ham, and sausage each breakfast.
2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon, and a slice of toast. That's my typical breakfast.
Isn’t it weird how more parents in the 80s and 90s didn’t seem to clue in to the disturbing amount of sugar in cereal? I wanna see your alternative breakfasts!
Back then, people in general were convinced that fat was the problem and hardly thought about sugar at all. There was a lot of bad science behind this thinking, as well as misguided government recommendations.
Our parents were fed a lot of bad science back then
My grandma used to make me Coco Wheats, which is porridge but w/ chocolate and sugar
She thought it was healthy because the brand advertised their products that way for years
They've set regulations since then so now any brand can't just blatantly claim they're healthy
Alternative breakfast or the only for me is Roti with different vegetable everyday and salads sometimes. Tasty with health. Animal meat on Sunday.
In the Philippines (and in Asia in general), breakfast is a savory meal. It’s mostly just chicken/beef/pork/fish with a side of garlic fried rice with tea or coffee.
@@starcherry6814 In "Boy Meets World", Mrs Matthews said, "This cereal is sugar-coated lumps of sugar."
Love that you question everything in life and find out the whole back-end history of it! So much curiosity! Thanks for another cool video!
Also like that you show that this doesn’t mean giving up on what you love!
