I vote for mental. Chicken-fried steak is what they serve in Paradise. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Wot, no sausages? :smack: May I change my list, please? Bacon (includes Canadian Bacon along with pork belly rashers) Ham (any type) Steak (any type) Sausage (any type, including Chorizo) 😃 Gyros meat Burgers of various types Chicken/turkey fillet (baked and sliced) Lamb and veal Pork chops Lengua (tongue) I do agree however, that Canadian Bacon is more akin to ham than bacon. ---

I’ll bet you’d change your mind. We live a half a block from a Hispanic supermercado and they have the best fresh chorizo I’ve ever tasted. There’s packaged chorizo but it doesn’t taste anywhere near as good. I wonder if that’s what you had. ---

Beautiful. Since we’re experimenting in the selection of things to put into a poll, may I suggest that anyone else who’s up to the task could follow this lead and re-post whatever Top X-number items in this basic format? This is some fun, y’all. I would have been a total failure putting up a poll without this input! Happy Easter! ---

> [@Huerta88](#): > > [Taylor Ham](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_roll). Likewise. In one. Just another reason New Jersey is the alpha and omega of all civilization – it’s the only place you can get a pork roll sandwich. Neener. ---

Maybe it’s just me but I eat boudin sausage for breakfast whenever it’s available. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Maybe it’s just me but I eat boudin sausage for breakfast whenever it’s available. Good one! I’m beginning to wonder if we need two polls (at least): one for sausages (and their kin) and another for non-sausage. Ideas? ---

Scrapple. Wonderful, lovely scrapple. Food of the gods! Bealzebub, Hades, and Chernbolg count, right? I love scrapple. My wife and kids call it “pig snouts”. ---

Be sure to vote (as many categories as you like) at [Favorite Breakfast Meat – First Pass](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=558525) to help define categories better. Continue to add specific items here to go (perhaps) in additional “drill down” polls. ---

My favorite breakfast is dinner left-overs. I rarely cook “breakfast”. If I cook anything for first meal, it’s usually ramen noodles with a lot of veg and stuff added. When I have bacon I like crisp american bacon, when I have sausage I like it browned, both patty and link - and preferably Bob Evans.
