I thought so, just from the quality of your beautiful pictures Joey.
A full cooked breakfast is seen more as a treat , a leisurely breakfast when you have more time , at the weekend maybe . I very rarely eat a cooked breakfast it's a bit much for me . I don't think many people would have the time during the week, plus it's very heavy so not something to be eaten every day.
Taxy , great photo thank you , I thought home fries were chips , but they are what we would probably refer to as sautéed potatoes . And there's that fruit combo thing again aargh . Each to their own it all looks good .
Do you ever have a glass of juice with your breakfast? Like orange or tomato? It is a common habit here in the States to have a complete breakfast. Protein, Carbs, and Fruit to start your day.
With my first husband, he always worked the second shift. So when he woke up around 11 a.m. I had a full breakfast ready for him to start his day. Eggs and bacon (protein) two pieces of toast (carb) and a tall glass of juice or a piece of fruit. I also use to try to do the same for my kids when they started school. But some mornings it was just a bowl of cereal and a glass of juice or a piece of fruit. Fruit in some form is part of the American breakfast.
Not my photo. I found it on the by Googling.Taxy , great photo thank you , I thought home fries were chips , but they are what we would probably refer to as sautéed potatoes . And there's that fruit combo thing again aargh . Each to their own it all looks good .
I think the fruit for breakfast idea originated in England and came to America in the form of apple and mince pie. It took a few years to get started because they had to bring the initial stock from England and wait several years until the trees were big enough to bear fruit. In any case it is a tasty tradition!
Wasn't it Johnny Appleseed who started that? Can't remember his real name.
John Chapman, Johnny Appleseed, did not start planting apple orchards on the frontier until about 1792. The English settlement of Jamestown, founded 1607, was where apple growing in America began. The small sour apples were used primarily to make hard cider. Who wouldn't need a drink, to live under those primitive conditions half a world away from home!
I thought Roanoke was the lost colony.Unfortunately Jamestown was a bust. When the ship returned a year later with fresh supplies everyone had disappeared. They never found out what happened to them. But the tree grew.
I thought Roanoke was the lost colony.
Roanoke was the lost colony, all they found were a few bones and the word CROATOAN carved on a tree.
Jamestown almost went under. A supply ship arrived just in time and the settlement continued for another 100 years or so.

I'm not sure if they had taters and eggs etc...
Addie, that's not "common" anymore. Most people I know consider that a special Saturday/Sunday brunch thing every once in a while. Most people just grab a cup o' Joe or tea, something they can hold in the other hand, and go. Even though I'm home for breakfast every day, I'm completely satisfied with a bowl of oatmeal with dried fruit and nuts, or a tub of Green yogurt with fresh berries. Those full breakfasts have gone the way of the 10 cent cup of coffee....It is a common habit here in the States to have a complete breakfast. Protein, Carbs, and Fruit to start your day...
