Top 50 Best Breakfasts of the World
Oh my, these all look delicious to me! Okay, maybe not all of them ... but only because I can't positively identify some of the main ingredients but probably 98% of them I would try with very little encouragement needed!
Enjoy!

Go on, there can't be fifty varieties of edible breakfasts anywhere.
I'll list what qualifies:
Curried Kedgeree made with smoked haddock
Kippers with buttered bread
Devilled Kidneys
Fried sausage fried egg fried bacon fried mushrooms and fried bread within reach of a bottle of vinegar and a salt-cellar
Poached egg on toast
Boiled egg with soldiers
Cheese and mushroom omelette with buttered bread
and at a pinch, if you've a lot to stoke up for, fish and chips
all served with mugs of tea
There aren't any others I know of and I've a lot of practice in this area.

Rabbit, so they say. I can make it though not for breakfast, that's a mid-afternoon snack.

Vinegar on a fried breakfast.......never ever...no no no.
A touch of ketchup or brown sauce if you must.

Commonly called cheese on toast, although it really is not just cheese on toast.
Here is a fair recipe
And it's called rarebit not rabbit............nice with a poached egg on top too.

Wrong.
Welsh Rarebit. There Is a world of difference between grilled cheese and a Welsh Rarebit.
Ingrediants for Welsh Rarebit are Mature Cheddar Cheese, finely chopped onions, dried or fresh sage, 3 tablespoons of brown beer, English mustard, Worcestershire sauce and Cayenne Pepper.

I don't, to be honest, remember mentioning grilled cheese at all. Perhaps my memory's faulty.

'Rabbit Is grilled cheese, nothing more.... Welsh Rarebit Is an entirely different recipee.
A Buck Rarebit' Is a Welsh Rarebit but served with a lightly poached egg on the top.
Grilled Cheese Is a US Abomination that some believe Is a Welsh Rarebit. Go to Wales and ask for grilled cheese or a Welsh 'Rabbit' as you put It, and they are likely to set the dogs on you.

That may be your version of the recipe, but THE classic rarebit has no onions or herbs and has flour and milk.
It is basically a thick white sauce with everything else slung in, thick enough to be rolled out like pastry or formed like playdoh.
Was me that called it cheese on toast, as many call cheese on toast Welsh Rarebit in error.

Whereas, when you look to competent resources, they all agree Rabbit's an alternate spelling for Rarebit? Right down to the website you chose to quote? I think you just ran out of road, oscar.

First... Yzgi says 'I googled It, It sounds good'' I write 'It is' meaning It is good.
Your problem Is that you read between the lines and second guess posts. It's all rather tiresome and In fact, It Is you who Is more reminiscent of Odie, In that members find the need to constantly correct you when you have assumed wrong, as In you assuming yesterday that I was writing about you when I was writing about an entirely seperate episode late last year.
Now there Is you hypocrisy... Last night you complain of my writing about Odie and yet here we are, less than 24 hours later with you making reference to her.
Finally, once again, another thread Is taken entirely off topic by you throwing In references to Odie and snide comments.... It's all becoming very boring.

Why can't a member post In a thread with another member without you Infesting the posts like a lepers scabs? Believe It or not John Spotty, other members like to post with other members besides you. It Invariably makes a forum Interesting.
You seem to home In taking threads off on tangents with snide references to Odie like a demented, one winged wasp flying In circles.
When you have something Interesting to offer Instead of this troll like ability to critisize posts, then I may take you off Ignore.

Yeah, I googled it and ummmm, no thank you in my sweetest tone of voice. Anything with "blood" in the name of the type of food just doesn't go over well with me. Plus, I don't eat any meats except seafood and poultry.

My favourite breakfast is a fry up with chicken liver beside the bacon.
2 lightly fried eggs, a halved tomato fried caramelised nearly burnt, some thick decent bacon cooked quickly with it's surface seared brown, a large grilled mushroom, golden fried white bread, some chicken liver lightly fried, a couple of slices of crispy fresh baked bread with butter and a cup of black unsweetened coffee.
I am salivating now............

I would say bacon and eggs fried with hash brown potatoes, wheat bread toast and coffee with cream.
I do like grilled cheese with tomato soup (comfort food). Not sure about the Welsh meal but must be good.

Hash Browns have caught on In England and most cafe's sell them now with a fried breakfast.

I just wish you hadn't mentioned fried mashed potato, spot. I wasn't hungry at all until you did...that lovely golden crispy coating.
Mind you, it no longer tastes like it did when I was young. I think everyone used lard then.

Colcannon consists of Potatoe, Curly Kale or Spring Cabbage and scallions ( spring onions). Most prefer to eat the Ingrediants as a mash but Is also delicious fried once prepared.

Thats a lot of food. Do you start breakfast in the morning and finish when you go to bed at night.
My favorite breakfast: Fried potatoes, onions, sausage or bacon whip up some eggs and scramble them in, top with shredded cheese, diced jalapenos, and a dab of your favorite hot sauce.

What's a bacon whip?
In Fife Scotland, they have been known to deep fry left over kebab from the night before for breakfast, It's alleged.

My recipe would use grated potato with a bit of seasoning only.
