Typical bi week dine out breakfast.

Top wife's eggs Benedict with extra couple of hash browns.

Bottow breakfast bagel (bacon, egg, hash brown, relish etc), cheese roll, and chips w/chipotle aioli.

I had flat white coffee wife had a mocha.

Fiber One Bran, some low fat milk, and all the berries in the world (straw-, blue- and black-, along with banana which is also a berry though people don't think about it that way).

Still on my eggs, bacon and black coffee, though I've recently started having a small whey protein shake alongside, as part of increasing my protein intake generally.

Had a lovely brunch yesterday as well, with fresh fruit (green grapes, watermelon, honeydew, mango, and pomegranate), thick cut bacon, fresh Belgian waffles with NH maple syrup, some bits of cheese and sausage from the charcuterie board, good coffee with Coole Swan, and fancified mimosas with a little passionfruit and gin.

Do you live somewhere outside the States, Danny? I'm just curious because I've never seen that as combo as a breakfast dish listed before.

Given the reference to "unsweetened tea" I would guess American South, though the expected reference would generally be "unsweet tea."

Possible. I do have relatives in the South though, and I don't remember ever hearing any of them mention Salisbury steak or (particularly) mashed potatoes for breakfast. That was why I was curious.

Very good linguistic sleuthing!

I’m a long-time resident of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex of North Central Texas, famous for the the Dallas Cowboys American football team, unscrupulous oilmen on TV, and getting our butts apocalyptically frozen every 11 years.

To answer the question @Thomas Shey asked, I had breakfast at a diner that serves its entire menu throughout their business day*. I was going to have their Eggs Benedict when I walked through the door- theirs are pretty good- but I decided beef sounded better this AM. (Hadn’t had any in days.)

* I love diners like this, because some days, you want something different than the usual fare offered at a particular time of day. 2 weeks ago, I almost did liver & onions at a different diner (again, a dish that place does well), but chose otherwise.

Bet you could get a great steak & eggs at a place like that.

And you have now given me sufficient information to differentiate between Texas and Georgia/Alabama/Tennessee/Kentucky, so thankyaverramuch
