If you eat it before 11:00 it’s breakfast. I sometimes buy a big cup of coffee and a pint of ice cream at 7:00 and chow down. ---

> [@Tupug Anachi](#): > > Who says there is a rule about what you should eat for breakfast? In my wilder younger days I was known to have a passion for chili for breakfast. Much more statisfying than Cap’n Crunch IMHO. Also high on the list…mashed potatos and spaghetti. 😃 I have a friend who scrapes the toppings off the previous night’s pizza, adds eggs, scrambles 'em up…and, wah-la! Pizza Omlette. THey’re faaabulous. ---

BLTs for breakfast - hell yeah! Bacon - tasty - tomato - breakfast food AND its a fruit - lettuce - vegetable/health food. All your bases covered _cough_ I has one this morning, and (slightly embarassing to admit this) it was so nice I went and had another one for lunch _blush_ Damn you Pret a Manager for your delicious sandwichness… ---

If you enjoy a BLT for breakfast, then eat it. But you will not convert me. I will stick to my breakfasts of spaghetti. ---

BLT’s for breakfast? **Absolutely.** [Waxing nostalgic]My husband used to fry up a pound of bacon early in the morning, and then put me together a BLT kit to take to work - mayo in its own little jar, lettuce and tomato in a tupperware, toast (four pieces) in a baggie and the bacon in its own container and I’d make 'em up at work and eat 'em for breakfast all the time!! [/waxing] There were days when I got a little nutty and threw out the lettuce and purchased a slice or two of cheddar cheese from the cafeteria and made a CBT sandwich - but alas those days are gone as bacon hasn’t been on sale for awhile. Today I had pretzels and Captain Crunch. Not at the same time, mind you, but that was breakfast. Now I’m going to go get a couple cans of Dr. Pepper. And maybe eat some of the cookies I brought for lunch. And olives. ---

I also like BLTs for breakfast. Also, sliced salmon, tomatoes and cream cheese on a bagel and a glass of OJ makes a perfect breakfast. ---

> [@Lynn Bodoni](#): > > BLTs usuallly have toasted white bread and mayonaisse as their base, and then some lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and bacon. The more bacon, the better the sandwich is. > > I have been known to eat tomato sandwiches for breakfast, if I have good tomatoes. Bad tomatoes just aren’t worth eating. Oh No!!! You are making your sandwich upside down! first bacon, then tomatoes, then lettuce. That first BLT of the season made with fresh tomatoes from the garden is just great. Anybody else make a big event of it like I do? ---

I eat grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast. This came out of a diet I was following once a long time ago. It was one of those things where they’d give you rather generic menus that you were supposed to follow. One common breakfast thing was something like “2 servings bread, one serving low-fat cheese.” I think you were supposed to read that and go “bagel and cream cheese.” I read it and went “grilled-cheese sandwich.” When you think about it, they’re not too far off… and grilled cheese for breakfast is yummy. ---

I don’t understandsomething. Of all the things we took from our British heritage (common law, dignity of man, yadda yadda) we managed to miss fried tomatoes with breakfast. Truly the way to accent any day-starter. I don’t have any lettuce in the house, so I guess this morning’s sandwich will be a bacon, tomato, Monterey Pepper Jack cheese with Miracle Whip and a grind of pepper. Yum!
