Delineations of Breakfast
by Hamilton Nolan
Breakfast is my favorite meal. Why? Because its boundaries are well defined. You don’t have to worry too much about what you’re going to eat. There are only certain things that are okay to eat for breakfast.
Eggs, for example. Eggs are a classic breakfast food. You can eat most egg dishes for breakfast, whether it be scrambled eggs, fried eggs, poached eggs, boiled eggs, or dishes made out of eggs, such as omelettes, frittatas, or certain types of quiches. Breakfast quiches should have breakfast types of ingredients, like cheese, bacon, or other breakfast meats. I wouldn’t order a quiche with more lunch types of ingredients, like broccoli, for breakfast. That’s more of a lunch dish.
