I usually drink a mug of Inca, since most people have never heard of it, it's weird. :0) Otherwise a chili dog or green chili if it's available.

Growing up in Cincinnati I developed a taste for a breakfast food peculiar to that area and not really found elsewhere. Its name is Goetta. It consists of ground beef and ground pork mixed with oatmeal and spices, which is then formed into a loaf, refrigerated, sliced and pan-fried, and usually served with eggs.

It is similar in some respects to scrapple from the Pennsylvania area, except that while scrapple is gross, goetta is delicious. :-)

cold hamburger sandwiches with secret sauce aka thousand island dressing but mine HAS to be home made.

We kid my husband because he insists that only "proper breakfast foods" should be eaten in the morning (while being ok with the idea of all-day servings of foods typical of a breakfast). I eat whatever I am in the mood to eat, be it vegetables, soup, pizza, a salad or leftovers. There are very few foods I would consider to be weird to eat in the morning, if I found them acceptable during other times of the day. Some people sure have weird hang-ups about food and meals IMO!

This isn't really weird but when my kids were little they wanted peanut butter and jam sandwiches for breakfast. Some of my friends were appalled that I gave my kids "lunch" for breakfast. But really what is the difference between that and 2 pieces of toast - one with peanut butter and one with jam - was my reply.

I love pizza, at any time but I seldom have it because i could easily sit down and eat a whole one all by myself.

I love cold pizza too. I grew up in Cincinnati and my mom loved goetta too. I tried to buy it when we moved to Houston Tex. The butcher just looked at me like I was talking in a foreign language. I guess I was. I too like goetta with eggs.

Fried egg, with slightly runny yolk over chopped banana with walnuts on top. Oh yeah, a lot of S&P.

I'm also with gyrfalcon on this - any foods, any time. My husband will only eat breakfast foods for breakfast. He never complains about breakfast foods at any other meals though? Weird.

I'm not a big breakfast eater but this morning it was a small bowl of homemade chex mix.

Last year on my birthday it was a piece of tiramisu with a cup of coffee.

I figure I'm an adult and if I want to indulge in a dessert for breakfast, why not? It's really no different than a donut.

My mom always has a turkey sandwich for breakfast.

I'm not really a breakfast person, and don't want much more than my Ovaltine first thing in the day. But a few bites of cold leftover Mexican food have found their way onto my fork from time to time....A restaurant we used to frequent, now closed, used to serve the best ground beef taquitos with chunky guacamole over the top - if I'd have those for dinner I would wake up the next day wanting another.

I have several favorites...fried green tomatoes; left-over pizza, spaghetti or enchiladas; cold apple pie.

Grandmamary, if you are interested I'd be happy to share my mother's recipe. Although the below recipe makes two large loaf pans -- you may want to divide the recipe in half.

GOETTA

1 pound Ground Beef
1 pound Pork Sausage with Sage
dash salt
three bay leaves
2 quarts water
1 large onion chopped fine

6 cups of Quaker Quick Oats

Do Not Brown Meat

Place meat in cold water in pot. Use potato masher to break the meat into little pieces and add salt and bay leaves.

Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a low boil for 15 minutes. At
the same time in small skillet, cook onion in oil over medium heat
until onion is translucent.
Reduce heat to low and add oats to take up the water. Stir to make sure
all of the oats are mixed in and cooked. Add and stir in onion. Remove
and discard bay leaves.

Pour goetta into two rinsed loaf pans. Cover with plastic wrap and
cool overnight in refrigerator. (It also keeps well in the freezer.)

After refrigerating, slice about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick slices and fry
in shortening until browned for crispy, tasty goetta -- serve with eggs.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

I eat boudin, not often, but every once in a while. Not a big fan of it though.

My favorite may not be unusual is peanut butter on a bran muffin topped with crisp bacon.

Cheese grits, or cottage cheese with dice up garden tomato and diced avacado.

In my much younger days, (my 20's) I poured a glass of Pepsi before I had coffee! I can eat pizza anytime, I prefer it hot though. I can eat chicken anytime also.

Oh, and I love scrapple!! (served on top of a pancake w/syrup.)

bob_cville, I recently made a huge batch of goetta, but I use steel cut oats--my recipe says not to use rolled or quick oats, but I'll have to try them, because we keep them on hand for microwave oatmeal. My son-in-law loves fried goetta, and I sent a container from the freezer home with my younger daughter, who served it to some friends of Italian ancestry. They'd never had it, but quickly surmised it had roots in German cuisine.

My mother's pie (any fruit, or pecan) is my favorite breakfast food. :)

I eat whatever is leftover in the fridge for breakfast.

I don't think it's weird, but some might.....in oyster season, I love fried oysters. My husband will bring home a quart (or more) and I will eat them every meal until they are gone...usually just three meals if we have them for supper, then I will have them for breakfast and lunch the next day. I only like them fried. I don't eat them cold....I fry them as I go along. I think they are my all time favorite food of anything I can think of.

If I had an early meeting across the county and thus had to eat an early breakfast, I would prepare deviled eggs the day before. I am not hungry early in the morning, but I love deviled eggs and can get 2 or 3 eaten for an early breakfast.

marilyn c, I'll join you in eating oysters for breakfast :o)

Breakfast is a big deal at our house. We get up early (I get up at 3 a.m., hubby 4 a.m.) and we workout for an hour. By the time hubby gets ready for work after we exercise, we're ready for something substantial, and we eat a hearty breakfast. I need to have a sufficient amount of protein due to a post-gallbladder removal condition called "dumping syndrome". I also have to avoid anything high in sugar and can only have low amounts of liquid (due to the same condition).

I make breakfast sausage with ground turkey, and it's a favorite along with ham bits or other breakfast meats (usually a 1 to 1.5 oz. serving). I make gluten-free breads and breakfast entrees that are also high-protein and keep them ready in the freezer - pancakes, waffles, French toast, coffee cakes, muffins, and quick breads. We generally have fruit with breakfast (berries, banana, pineapple, mandarin oranges, oranges, grapefruit, peaches, grapes, goji berries...). I also include a small portion of oatmeal or buckwheat with my meal on Tuesday and Thursday, and an egg on Sunday.

There is a daily breakfast smoothie that is a delivery system for supplements and high-fiber additions like ground chia seeds, flaxmeal, hi-maize resistant starch, protein powder, made with homemade water kefir or bai5 (a low-carb. juice high in antioxidants), and homemade dairy kefir. I save my smoothie to drink later in the morning and add a T. of cold water soluble gelatin (for additional protein and collagen for joint care) and some moringa powder. Like I say, it's a delivery system, and it was a challenge to get it low-sugar and still taste good.

I'm glad to see I'm in good company when it comes to unusual breakfasts. Some of yours sound good! Ever since I slashed my carb intake (many years ago), breakfast has been a challenge. These days I'm likely to have plain non-fat Greek yogurt with walnuts added, or low-fat cottage cheese with walnuts and cinnamon. Sometimes I add ground almonds and oat bran to the yogurt. Later in the morning, a glass of homemade vegetable juice.

I just had some cheese popcorn this morning. Sometimes I don't know what I want. Usually I make a fratata using sausage, red peppers, asparagus, broccoli and tomatoes topped off with provolone cheese. I saute all this in a skillet. I usually have enough for my lunch also.

Scrapple is food of the gods!!!!

Linda_6, I'm with you love popcorn for breakfast. I use my air popper & then pour on melted butter & eat it with a coke. This morning I had leftover salmon with macaroni & cheese.

My usual breakfast is a sludgie made of pulverized leafy greens, a handful of fruits, assorted seeds and nuts, protein powder, and no sugar added almond milk.

But sometimes, I've just got to have something different! It's usually in the form of an omelet or frittata with leftovers from the previous night's supper. I saved some shrimp and asparagus for myself last night just for that purpose.

I'm going to saute a bit of chopped onion and green pepper, add the shrimp, asparagus, then the eggs and cheese.

Yes it is a German food. My g g Grandmother was German and my mom and her siblings lived with her as a teenager. I'm guessing that is where mom learned to love it. Thanks Bob for the recipe. I will try to make it sometime soon.

One description of goetta that I read said that it was created by German immigrants in the Cincinnati-area, and that the authors were unable to trace it back to any area of Germany, so it may have originated in Cincinnati.

My sister always had a weird favorite for breakfast: she'd go to McDonald's the evening/night before and buy a hamburger, then she'd leave it out on the counter overnight to eat for breakfast in the morning. I have no idea why but for her it was (and probably still is) a special and favorite breakfast. :p

Party_music50, I gathered your sister is okay and never got sick? Gulp, I would hesitate leaving meat, raw or cook, out, unrefrigerated, for a long period of time. Leaving out overnight is certainly a long long time. It makes me wonder what king of preservative/s they put into those McDonald's burger meat.

ntt_hou, no, she never got sick. And she wouldn't eat it if someone refrigerated it -- she said it ruined it. lol!

When I was in high school, my favorite breakfast was a tuna sandwich.

I also love chicken and dumplings and have been know to eat them for breakfast if there is some left from the night before. Even cold. My mom made the best.

I am allergic to eggs, so a lot of "normal" breakfast foods are out for me. Eggs, omelettes etc.

My all time favorite thing to eat for breakfast is cold fried chicken. If I know it is in the fridge I wake up craving it and can't seem to stay out of it.

A couple of other things I like is cold chinese food. BBQ spareribs, sweet n sour chicken (see above fried chicken addiction)

I have been known to have Ramen Noodles for breakfast and Cold sliced country fried steak with salt.

I love the November/December holidays when I can have leftover pumpkin pie or apple pie for breakfast.

Since Aprile mentioned Chinese food, I also like a traditional Chinese rice porridge breakfast with pickled vegetables, green onions, peanuts, dried pork, etc.

My mother's toasted pound cake with grape jelly

I keep it simple - Brats & Beer.

cornbread with strawberry preserves.

re: goetta and Cincy--Early name for Cincinnati was 'Porkopolis' because it was the top producer and processor of hogs in the country, so it makes sense that a dish that was adapted to contain ground pork originated in the area. You Buckeyes will remember this from middle school Ohio history. ;)

Chocolate chip pancakes, as invented by our Boy Scout Troop. In planning for a camp-out, they had forgotten to buy blue berries. The Scout cooking breakfast that morning grabbed a box of chocolate chips and dumped it into the batter. The taste was quite acceptable, but woe unto the dishwasher. The pancakes were cooked on a hot griddle over a campfire and wherever a chocolate chip touched the griddle, it left a black dot that refused to come off with normal amount of scrubbing. LOL.

I do believe Goetta was a German dish. Growing up the older German folks in this area of Iowa called a similar dish Head Cheese which was a jellied meat made from the cooked head of a pig along with water, onion and oatmeal. Put in loaf pans, sliced and fried brown and crispy. I never thought it sounded very appetizing and since I don't have a pigs head I think I will try Bob's recipe !

Onion Pancakes. I don't know why, but everyone who hears it says it sounds disgusting, but they are delicious. Just dice an onion and add it healthily to the batter. Serve with butter and syrup as normal. YUM!

Rgreen, I'm not sure I'm ready for onions at breakfast (I like chilaquiles, but not first thing), but your onion pancakes sound like nothing I'm familiar with but have to try sometime.

I don't really like eggs so I eat a lot of weird things. One of my favorites is a pimento cheese sandwich or egg salad sandwich.

Back when the local meat processer was permitted to give you the head of the animal that you were having packaged for the freezer, my elderly neighbor asked us if she could have the hog's head to make head cheese. I don't believe she used oats, only the chopped meat, gelatin and added spices--I'm not sure because I never tasted it. :P

I love a big slice of homemade pie with my coffee. I figure it is no worse than eating a danish. If it is apple pie I put a slice of melted sharp cheddar cheese on top. I will eat almost anything for breakfast. I am not a big fan of cold cereal, but that is all DH will eat except for Sundays when we do something special.

plllog... when you try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I toast 2 Eggo waffles and put Vanilla in between for the perfect breakfast sandwich

Vanilla? Just vanilla extract? Is a word missing? Vanilla ice cream? Vanilla yoghurt?
