Shakshuka for me too. I’m not fussy about what bread I have with it, although Turkish flatbread is probably best.
I love smoked whitefish, but i always eat it cold. I would think it would taste funny after being heated, as well as stink up the house.
He didn’t want it HOT precisely, but he often had to (see my comment about southern NM circa 1985) have it shipped in special, and it was frozen solid. So he’d speed thaw it in the microwave. Generally he served it (and I often snagged a bite) not-quite lukewarm.
Got it. I bought (and buy) my smoked fish locally, and store it in the fridge. I eat it cold.
Are there places like that ? I’ve never seen one except maybe a coffee truck or deli that serves egg sandwiches and even those usually also have bagels and buttered rolls. But I’ve never seen a diner/coffee shop that didn’t have at least pancakes in addition to eggs.
Oh, yes. If shakshuka is on the menu, I will order it. Had it at the Ottolenghi restaurant in the East End of London with smoked labaneh and grilled sourdough. That did not suck. But almost any shakshuka will make me happy.
Second choice is a tie between huevos rancheros and a good bagel with almost any smoked fish, cream cheese, capers, and onion. What can I say? I’m an Ashkenazi Jew living in the Western US. These are the things I know.
For breakfast: pancakes. “Plan B” is things like sausage, bacon, bagels, and toast. I am a total Guy Fieri when it comes to eggs, and that includes omelets. I don’t really have a go-to brunch.
Shakshuka has never appealed to me – especially for breakfast. I might like it for lunch or dinner, but for me the thought of eating it for breakfast turns my stomach a little.
I’m not Jewish, but this is something I could eat any day of the week.
My favorite would be a buffet, though I have no idea if any places do that anymore. In Floriduh I used to go to a place called Shoney’s where it was all you can eat(if you’re the sort who likes to mock “people at Walmart”, you’d have had a field day at this place). Not that I eat that much at any given meal but I could get a little bit of everything I like and not have to waste stuff I don’t. And the biscuits . . .oy. I did eat all of those that I could.
Nowadays I’m very happy to get hotcakes and sausage at McDonald’s. And a biscuit, of course.
So those are two embarrassing things about me
What I’d prefer is biscuits and gravy with eggs and sausage patties. It’s hard to find a a single menu item even if all the bits are easily available a la carte. Sometimes I can get a “grand slam” esque breakfast plate that allows substituting biscuits and gravy for the pancakes. A few places have the dish listed as “country Benedict” even if that doesn’t quite make sense (to me Benedict=Hollandaise).
I think hotels still do. The Marriott in Cambridge had one, and the Hyatt we stayed at in Amsterdam did also. But they tend to be pricey so probably not a great choice.
Many casinos do as well. The last one we ate at (in Niagara Falls NY) was pretty good, although probably not worth the 18 bucks that it cost.
But not long ago we stayed at an Embassy Suites. (Not my choice, but it was for the guests of a wedding party, so we of course stayed there.) The breakfast buffet, included with the cost of the room, was good, and it also featured an omelet ‘station’, where you could get omelets, eggs your way, pancakes, waffles, and…bacon! Damn good breakfast!
Does Judi’s Place serve a Wet Judy?
Scroll down to Don’s Diner at the bottom.
Not as such, tho I suspect they’d make one on request.
They do offer an Oostburger though: a 1/3 lb hamburger with a split bratwurst on top of it, served on a hard roll. I indulge in one of those about once a year.
Well, heck. When I come up there, we will need to go to breakfast at Judi’s, and then stay for lunch.
Deal. They serve breakfast all day. Hopefully @pulykamell will be available.
Any particular reason why? Not that I’d try to convert you; more for me! I eat a lot of eggs. I usually fry up and consume 5 every night shortly before bed. (I’m weird, I know)
My stepmom is Chinese, and although I haven’t spoken to her in many years I miss going to dim sum on Sundays.
Because I love going out for breakfast. These days, I have a local American breakfast place (who serves a real good grilled cheese) I show up to most weekends that knows my usual:
2 eggs over easy
A grilled hamburger with grilled onions
Home fries
Whole wheat buttered toast
A side of fresh fruit or sliced tomatoes
Coffee and water
Hey, I’m game! I’m sure a trip up to Sheboygan will be in our future sometime in the coming months.
I tried something new this morning that will going on the short list of regulars. Brunch Poutine at Degani’s.
Bowl of seasoned potato wedges mixed with crisp bacon pieces, tomato and onion salsa, wilted spinach, drizzled with Hollandaise and toped with 2 soft poached eggs. Way too many carbs to make it a frequent meal but bloody tasty. Cut the eggs up so the yolks runs everywhere, chop the wedges up and mix all together, then eat.
One year, when the World Cup was in Europe, and the games started at 5 or 6 am in the Midwest, our Irish pub opened early enough that everyone could order the Big Irish Breakfast before the game started. Some of the fans had stayed up all night to be sure not to miss it.
We still reminisce about that… though I have an even more beloved Big Breakfast memory. stay tuned…
