    I’m living in Asia, where breakfast isn’t a lot different from other meals. Except it usually includes some brothy soup (vs the spicy, hearty, meaty varieties of dinner) and often some egg (boiled, steamed, fried) with the universal rice and veg side dishes.
    Since I’m Canadian, no need to describe those breakfasts. Except to note that my Scottish-Canadian family was partial to marmalade, which many of my AB childhood friends thought was yucky/weird. They liked grape jelly, which I had never seen before.

    I'm Dutch, most people here just eat bread with some butter and a slice of (gouda) cheese, with a glass of milk. You may have heard of bread with "hagelslag" (chocolate sprinkles) being the traditional Dutch breakfast, but not everyone eats that every day. If I have time to cook in the morning, I'll eat a fried egg/omelette with some fried bacon/ham. No clue what my grandparents would have eaten for breakfast, I'm curious now.

    Today, Oakland, CA, USA: Singular vegan sausage links (dinner type). Or a bowl of rice with a splash of soy sauce or terrayaki and some sort of chili sauce. Or half a peanut butter sandwich.

    Growing up 70s-80s (central Maine, USA), Unsweetened cereals with milk, sometimes oatmeal with raisins, sometimes granola or muesli. Weekends, pancakes (I'd get up and make them myself as young as like 7), or on rare occasions, waffles.

    Visiting my grandparents (Michigan, USA), with polish and german & english by way of Canada heritage, they did big weekend breakfasts with all together a variety of breads for toasting, scrambled eggs with bacon, sausage links, strips of bacon. (Weekdays were cereal, and various toasts — they were big on bread at every meal.)

    Bacon and eggs, sometimes sausage, toast, tea and or juice.When I do eat breakfast, though it's usually my lunch because I am NOT a morning person, lol. If I have to get up early it's yogurt and toast with tea.

    Mostly cereal and milk or grits w/scrambled eggs. My daughter likes to make breakfast sandwiches for her and her brother. On weekends I tend to go a bit bigger with pancakes, crepes, waffles, or biscuits and some sort of egg, meat (bacon, sausage, scrappled) and juice. Mid-atlantic region in the US.

    Now that I'm single again it's pizza from the oven…cold. If I didn't have leftover I microwave a round egg, put cheese on it, toast bread and micro some sausage and make a sandwich.

    Semolina porrige, still a favourite!
    Rice porrige.
    Liver paté sandwiches with fresh cucumbers! (Hard debate amongst swedes whether it should be fresh or pickled cucumbers)
    Toast slathered in real, solid honey, not the liquid stuff.
    Toast slathered in my grandfathers homemade blackberry jam.
    Crisp bread with flavoured soft cheese spread (shrimp or ham flavours were most common back then)
    Moms freshly baked rye bread with just butter on it!

    Lots pf ppl also eat cottage cheese on crisp bread or just straight out of the tub for breakfast, but i've always hated that texture! They recently came out with vanilla flavoured cottage cheese and just the thought of it makes me uncomfortable, haha!

    That's the most iconic ones i grew up with in the 90's! Nowdays i most often eat yesterdays leftovers for breakfast or pancakes, müsli, swedish waffles, homebaked bread or a chicken wrap. But i rarely eat before 10am.

    As a kid ( in Switzerland): cereal or bread & milk

    Nowadays ( in Portugal): tea with a slice of toasted bread with butter or jam, just some fruit or overnight oats

    I don't know if we have a traditional breakfast but most people do drink coffee ( some with milk) and they usually eat something too ( bread, pastry, etc).

    I would stir in an egg or two into the hot pasta. The Japanese love to do this with their noodles. It is wonderful!
    Breakfast? Mostly whatever I might want leftover OR raisin bran with half and half and toast.

    Breakfast for dinner! It's a real treat in our house to have bacon, eggs, and pancakes for dinner. Growing up it was always Cream of Wheat or Oatmeal.

    Growing up, my dad made the same thing for breakfast every day: an egg (fried crispy over medium), 2 slices of bacon OR 1 small sausage patty, toast, half a grapefruit OR a glass of orange juice, and milk.

    I usually prefer something a little lighter. Lived in Italy for a while, and not much can beat a cornetto (croissant) and coffee (espresso macchiato). Also love making crepes, sweet and savory.

    From belgium here. No real set breakfast I can think of. My grandparents (Woodworker/Market lady/Coalminer/houselady) would usually have salt-cured porkbelly, sliced quite thick (maybe 5-10 mm) and cooked, with bread.

    I myself mostly have cornflakes or muesli. I used to grab fried egg with bread in the mornings, but my partner has decided warm things for breakfast are a no-go, and egg/bacon has is a lunch-only dish.

    Macaroni can be just about any shape. I've never known anyone who assumed that macaroni meant just elbow noodles, but maybe it's different outside the U.S.? I don't really care for breakfast because early in the morning my stomach doesn't want anything in it!

    Western NY here, and I don't normally even eat breakfast. But if I want 'breakfast' I go for fried eggs, bacon and toast. I often put Frank's Hot Sauce on my eggs and crunchy peanut butter on my toast.

    We had two breakfasts on our farm in Central Kentucky. First was at four in the morning, often my great-grandfather and fathers had hunted in season, rabbit and squirrel. So, often along with bacon or roll sausage (made from the hogs on the farm), eggs, to taste, biscuits made fresh, cream gravy, sliced tomatoes, preserves, skillet potatoes. We fed lots of people, family and hired help. Often there was pork chops and small steaks too. After all the morning work was done, they all came back to the house for coffee and sweet rolls and breads. There was grits too, with any left-over breakfast meats. After moving to Texas, I learned all about breakfast tacos and homemade flour tortillas. These were added to our breakfasts and with two sons, often friends and cousins came over to eat before the day started. The Canadian I married in Texas brought his beloved true Canadian bacon to add to a morning choices.

    I was very poor growing up so I ate our School systems free breakfast. It was terrible… Sugary cereal, doughnuts, cookies and “fruit drink”. This was in the 70’s to late 80’s.

    In my adult life if I do eat breakfast it’s always savory, usually a bowl of noodle soup, maybe a lentil and rice porridge (kitchidi) or Tofu and rice with pickled veggies and Lao Gan Ma chili sauce.

    I tend to skip breakfast for the most part. I don't really have asleep pattern due to medical reasons so I'm not up most morning. plus I'm not hungry till I've been up for a couple hours.
