What Breakfast Is Like Around the World

Typically eat eggs, or a bowl of cereal for breakfast? There are so many other tasty options. In this episode of “Around the World,” Great Big Story senior producer Beryl Shereshewsky makes wake-up calls to seven people in seven countries to find out what they eat to start the day. Among the dishes featured: Vietnam’s súp lu'o'n, a spicy eel soup; mandazi, an airy deep-fried dough from Kenya; and a plate of scrumptious catfish and grits made to perfection in the United States.

I'm native American and from the south so grits are a staple and my breakfast is usually the previous nights leftovers nobody said it had to be sugary or nauseatingly sweet ..but if your not allergic to nuts and like a hearty porridge here's a recipe for a breakfast that encompasses alot of tribes cuisine I'm Cherokee and we eat alot of hickory nuts So it's called all nations porridge 1 cup ground up hickory nuts 2 cups ground grits ( corn) 3. 1 cup acorn flour 4. 4 qts hot boiling water 5. 1 cups pecan flour 1/2 cup flour You throw everything in a pot get it nice and creamy try not to burn it so where you had your fire at medium hi to boil it you place it on low as to not scorch it..three tbsp of butter a pinch of salt and 4 tbsp of vanilla 2 tbsp of maple syrup..about three tsp of clove and nutmeg and one can of sweetened condensed milk.or you can do like the 1800s and half a cup of buttermilk and half a tablespoon of molasses..feel free to stir in apples nuts or choke cherries or blue berries or eat it as is if your a fan of bacon like me feel free to stir in bacon crumbs and eat it with some fry bread and cream cheese sounds weird but a good combo and bon appetit as my french kin would say and as usual love your stuff Beryl

I wish foreigns could hear Thuy's passion and sincerity when she talked about the eel soup, she knew that the dish didn't look appetizing to everyone but genuinely hoped that people will give it a try by suggesting different ways it can be consumed.

That's how one becomes successful. Determination, self-discipline, creativity. She gets up at 3am, I get up at 4am everyday for 25 yrs but it wasn't always so. Before that I was night owl. Your body and mind will get used to whatever it takes to survive. For some, it's get the !@%$#$ up at 3am or die.

@@ecstasy5022 i posted this after watching a few of this “around the world series” (actually the first 5-6 episodes to be precise) and noticed from my African pov that for once they try to often include at least 1 african country which is almost never the case with similar other videos. I have very very often seen Europe in this series as well just from the first 6 episodes and Argentina, Mexico, Columbia, Russia, Germany, France, England, etc. were mentioned. I’m sorry, I’m not expecting them on every episode to necessarily go over every continent, but i am appreciating that OVERALL we get to see a bit of some countries often ignored in similar situations and also not just 1 or 2 continents. If this was not a series, but just a one time video in which they mentioned around the world, but failed to actually go around the world as i so often see elsewhere, then i will definitely be complaining too.

I must say that at the start I turned my nose up on the eel soup. Then I watched it. Her infectious personality made me look at it differently. I mean I love eel sushi. Why couldn’t I like this? The spices and the broth...You know it will have flavor. I couldn’t watch it be prepared from the get go but I could eat a bowl...if maybe not for breakfast. My favorite breakfasts were those my grandmother made- grits, biscuits and gravy, and other southern staples. But, I have to give a shoutout to when I lived in Belize. They had these amazing little tacos (Orange Walk Tacos) that were always like 4 for a USD. Also, Belizean Fry Jacks (basically the same as the breakfast from Kenya shown here) with some beans and Marie Sharps hot sauce and a little cheese on those beans is also a good way to start.

In Kerala, one among the southern states of India we have Appam ( fermented rice & coconut milk batter cooked in a circular shaped vessel that has a dip in the center) There’s at least ten dishes that ends with the word appam: Idiyappam, Vattayappam, Cherattayapam, Churulappam, pinjyanathappam etc. Puttu (steamed rice flour and coconut), pidi, aripathiri etc are some of the others. Most (not all) of these are served with mutton, beef or chicken stew, or black chickpeas curry or egg curry or just plantain, or are stand alone dishes. Elayappam Kuzhukatta, Pidi and Paapam are the sweet breakfast dishes. I know this is an already long list, but I’m sure I’m still missing some, just made me realise that we have a pretty good variety of breakfast dishes to choose from.

Dhokla is very similar to Ghanaian Abolo which is rice flour, corn flour, sugar, baking powder and yeast which are then left to ferment and then steamed wrapped in a banana leaf!

In South Africa, most people will have a simple soft porridge with Sugar (“Motoho”) for breakfast. How I like it, you take two cups of maize meal flour put in a container pour Luke warm water. Let it ferment for two to three days in a warm place. After fermentation bring water to boil in a medium size pot and add scoops of the fermented maize meal flour and stir until it thickens and let it boil for 20 to 30 minutes. Once done add some sugar and enjoy. You will get sweet and sour taste 😋

A common breakfast I have seen (living in Japan), is a bowl of rice with a soft boiled egg mixed in and a bowl of miso soup. I have eaten this myself on some occasions. Once I went to a Ryokan (Japanese Style Inn) and they also had grilled fish and pickles to go with it. It's Tasty. But on most occasions, I eat Melon Pan (a sweet bread roll), and drink a cup of coffee for breakfast. As a child, while growing up in the United States, I would eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast.

Syrian: We have side dishes called "hawader" meaning "readies". these are usually available at every house and can be stored for a long time. we put them on every breakfast table. they include: -green and black olives - makdous (eggplant stuffed with walnuts and red pepper and pickled in olive oil) - labneh (strained yogurt) - zaatar (dried herb similar to thyme with toasted sesame seeds and sumac) + olive oil - shangleesh(labneh+zaatar+other spices) - white cheeses ( different from the european ones) - halawa (tahini sweet paste/idk how to describe it but it's good) and of course tomato, cucumber, and herbs depending on the season And then on some days we would make a main dish to accompany the ones above. our most famous would be: -Falafel (chickpea fried balls) eaten with different vegetebles - vava beans or chickpeas with chopped tomato and parsley, seasoned with lemon, garlic, and olive oil - hummus/msabbaha(chickpeas+tahini+lemon) - tsqiya/fattah (a lighter hummus+chickpeas+stale bread pieces+garlic+ghee on top=PERFECTION) - kshkah (fermented bulgur and yogurt) eaten 2 ways: 1- before it's fully feremnted-> with olive oil on top and with bread 2-after it's feremented-> becoms a powder and is made into soup We usually eat using a type of thin flat bread that can be split into halves. we use our hand to hold the bread and with it the food. it does not make your hands dirty because you don't directly touch the food. Also one very important thing is black tea. We MUST have black tea with every brakfast or else it doesn't count

When you ask a Vietnamese what they first think of when hearing the word "breakfast", I believe 7 out of 10 people will give the same answer of "banh mi". Banh mi is a worldwide famous Vietnam-styled sandwich. Basically, it is a French bread stuffed with everything you love. Although there are no correct way of making banh mi, there's a recipe that is widely loved by Vietnameses: the bread is stuffed with fried eggs, sausages or gio-a kind of Vietnamese ham, herb, lettuce, spicy dried beef; then the bread is coated with a thin layer of butter or honey before being heated on open fire for a few minutes. The thing that I personally love about this breakfast is that you can be creative with what's inside of the bread and make your own custom dish. It is simple, affordable and memorably delicious. Come to Vietnam to try banh mi, or make yourself one and enjoy! (I live in Bacninh-a small city at the North of Vietnam, so the recipe mentioned above is preferred specifically in my hometown or maybe in the North. Vietnamese friends or foreign mates can share their favourite recipe in the replies ♡ )

Sergio Reyes Queso Fresco is amazing! But I think a better translation is Fresh Cheese because the cheese is not aged. Pretty much once the curds form and are salted, it is ready to eat instead of having to wait a few weeks or months! So you can even make it at home and eat it the same day, hence why its “Fresh”.
