Breakfast

[Jacob]

Most commonly: a latte, toast (or fresh bread if available) with butter and sometimes jam and/ or cheese, an egg, and some apple. The most common alternative is plain full-fat yogurt with fresh fruit (whatever is at hand) and muesli, as well as the latte.

Oatmeal in whole milk with frozen blueberries, put in the fridge overnight.
French press coffee.

[Syt]

Müsli, eggs, juice, and coffee.

I just thought about anything specifically Austrian for breakfast but could not think of anything. Maybe some coffee variants. Is there anything?   

Nothing special, but many places offer a "Viennese Breakfast", i.e. two rolls, butter and jam with a coffee.



Even McDonald's has it as part of its breakfast menu, and at under 3 EUR is one of the better deals out there. But tbh, I don't think it's particularly Viennese except for the name. For coffee ... you'd either go with a Verlängerter (i.e. "normal" coffee - its name means "extended", because it's technically an espresso made with twice the amount of water), or a melange (similar to cappuccino).

Other than that ... maybe Ei im Glas (egg in a glass)? Boiled egg with solid white/soft yolk, served in a glass, often with some herbs, or some avocado or bacon or veggies or something.

There's a Gabelfrühstück, which is usually something warm eaten later in the morning (and originally eaten with a fork = Gabel, hence the name, but it can also be a soup), but it's more of a brunch than a breakfast.

In the weekends, when I have time I usually either do American style pancakes with maple syrup or bake some breakfast rolls of some kind.

I tried baked beans on toast. Surprisingly good. Wife did not think that it should be our Saturday breakfast.

[Gups]

On Saturdays, I cook full English breakfast for my family.

Are you sure this is what you mean?  Like with the baked beans and that weird looking sausage?

What's the weird looking sausage in the American version of the full English?

On workdays I have a coffee with milk, cookies (sometimes exchanged for a croissant or a similar pastry) and a glass of juice.

On weekends or holidays I have a bowl of cereal or oats instead, or maybe just chocolate milk.

protein shake

Didn't have you pegged for a gym rat, V.

[merithyn]

Gym days: protein shake and coffee

Non-gym days: Grapenuts, 2% milk, and coffee

I'm going to try to vary things up, though, since I'm way too low on protein and calories. Single serving overnight French toast casserole, soft boiled egg with toast, etc. And coffee. Always coffee.

45 minutes six days a week. It is all part of my efforts to avoid diabetes.

I guess Ei im Glas is special, the rest not so much. It's interesting that Croissants etc. are called "viennoiserie" in French but actually are not that common in Austria.

Bagel.

I've rarely eaten more than once a day since I've gotten covid, so I usually skip breakfeast and lunch.

When I do have breakfast, it's two slice of brown bread, usually toasted, with peanut butter or two small greek yogurt with fruits.  I drink either milk or water, sometimes black coffee, but less often than I did.  Sometimes, it's just two cups of black coffee.

[Eddie Teach]

Usually skip it. Sometimes bacon & eggs, maybe a biscuit.

[Caliga]

During the week, usually tea and toast.

I have gone 180 on breakfast. There was a period of time when I fasted until lunch. But now I am all in on breakfast and especially on the days I work out.  When I get back from the gym I start with frying potato slices in olive oil, then I add onions or shallots; then add mushrooms; and the some leafy green (normally kale or spinach).  Last thing I add to the pan is (and this is not for the feint of heart) sauerkraut.

I put that on a plate and then fry up three eggs, after adding a bit more olive oil to the pan.  Put the eggs over the rest of it on the plate and voila - CC mash.
