What’s Your Favorite Breakfast?

[Godfather]

There have been some great exchanges here on best this, favorite that, and it seemed only appropriate to ask this important question, what is your favorite breakfast? You can mention the place, or the food, or even the drink. I imagine there will be references to mimosas at least a few times, or breakfast beers, someone may go old school and call out Wheaties, or no breakfast, all welcome. It’s your day, you get to decide, what is your favorite breakfast?

For me, I am going with a hearty scramble, made with fresh eggs, mixed with chorizo (deer or boar), topped with a few slices of avocado, a slap of chunky salsa partnered with a spoon of corn salsa, a brisk squeeze of lemon over the top, complimented with a side of mixed berries and paired with a grapefruit mimosa - yep, that would do just fine.

And yes, I just had this on Sunday.

No question for me: Huevos Rancheros. Hands down. The best I've ever had was at a small restaurant overlooking the Kern River. The mix of a lightly fried corn tortilla, beans, fried eggs and salsa cannot be beat. Sometimes it needs to be accompanied by a michelada. Shit, now I'm hungry...

Option 1: Scrapple or kielbasa, soft-scramble eggs cooked in grease, shredded hash browns, buttered toast, pineapple, bloody mary
Option 2: Biscuits and gravy with sunny-side eggs until I burst

I have had this a couple times at my favorite hunting camp:

French toast made from homemade bread and grade A Maine maple syrup - Fresh
A slab of Moose Sirloin - medium rare, meat is A September moose 60 days prior
Home fries made from freshly harvested Maine Potatoes

Quite the Breakfast

@HowieR @keithafernandezjr @Doug Patteson @YETI - all amazingly strong calls, and like Yeti, I’m just now hungry as a result.

 

[thebuckhorton33]

as an Arkansas my favorite is chocolate gravy over buttered biscuits. My usual breakfast however is an English muffin fresh sausage from the butcher shop and an egg, paired with the finest Folgers black coffee.

 

[Chiro1989]

Fraboni's Garlic Sausage parboiled and then browned, eggs overeasy in the sausage grease, english muffins, espresso grind with Merry's Irish Cream, and some Finn Biscuit with lots of butter.

Breakfast of Champions! @HowieR

@Chiro1989 - is there nothing better than an over easy that becomes a runny egg on an english muffin or what? Sausage, eggs to your style, and muffins were created to be together, heck even McDonald’s can make artificial variants work together.

If you want to spice it up, try Amarula in place of Merry’s, a little taste of Africa.

 

[Chiro1989]

I will look for the Amarula, price was reasonable on a google search. Fraboni's garlic sausage can be shipped if you are interested.

Lately I've been intermittent fasting, getting in shape after the holiday splurge, but when I do breakfast I have three go to.. I like wild boar (or pork when I was raising a few in the farm) apple breakfast sausage, with chunks of apple ground up in the sausage.. so good!
I'm also a sucker for Eggs Benedict especially with a terrific hollandaise sauce.
And I love a good "mountain scramble" in hunting camp (sausage, eggs, potatoes, onions, peppers, bacon and wild huckleberries or blueberries or salmonberries)... Hearty and delicious.
Fresh caught trout, wrapped in bacon, pan fried with eggs, toast, or wild huckleberry/blue berry hot cakes is always good too!.

I took a few of the guys on a high buck hunt with pack horses into the Alpine Lakes Wilderness we were hunting for nice bucks and/or black bear. They had never actually been hunting before, and most certainly never rode a horse or followed a pack string into the mountains. After we set up camp they were sitting cross-legged digging into their MREs that they packed along. When I opened up my Yeti cooler and started prepping steaks they couldn't believe it! Definitely love to eat well in the mountains. Especially if I can score a grouse, wild berries, or harvest an animal.

Here's to good food and great friends anywhere you find them! (Hopefully together!)

Damnation @Al "Shifty" Schultz - that was more than a favorite breakfast, that was a restaurant menu! And one where I want to check it all off the list.

Pack mules with cargo saddles?

It’s not entirely intermittent fasting, but I’m trying to cut a measure of my blubber, I’m too old to carry this, so I’m two meals a day, and I am finding it is plenty, and I feel better and higher energy, so usually it’s a late breakfast, or early lunch, 10-11 a.m., (bias to breakfast foods, and overall bias to protein and very low carbs) and then reasonably early dinner, say 5:45-6:30 - that plus 25 miles of walking (some with a ruck) and minimum three lift sessions weekly. Long game, not expecting anything revolutionary, just slow improvement.

 

[Cagney]

I'm pretty basic, I have 2 go-tos.
- scrambled eggs with 2 slices of bacon and a side of berries and banana
-greek yogurt with berries and protein granola

And big ass cup of coffee.

Plate go shredded hashbrowns, covered with three eggs over medium, chorizo, cheese, and salsa

@Godfather your meal regimen sounds very similar to my own.
As for the pack string, yes...

So bad ass @Al "Shifty" Schultz - I have done small measures of this in the Eastern Sierra and Wyoming, never hunting, just creating deep base camp bivouacs to hike from. Super cool photos.

@gibsonknives - you and @Cagney hitting right down the alley of strong breakfast plays - I’ve got two hours until eating and I am angry I started this thread.

Hearty post hunt breakfast cooked on griddle, cast iron and wood burning stoves. Bacon or sausage, and over easy eggs cooked in the grease. Scrambled are good as well. As a side, hand cut potatoes and onions cooked in grease on cast iron. Biscuits and sausage gravy is another staple.
