Can't imagine having fish for breakfast or brunch. I went down on a woman once and almost threw up on her. Smell of fish still brings that memory back.

Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
For myself, fish is OK for breakfast for a treat - if it's smoked haddock or smoked salmon with poached or scrambled eggs respectively.
Can't eat kippers though - the bones would make me puke.
Not a valid criticism from someone whose countrymen regularly consume Marmite or Vegemite.Originally Posted by bkkguy
Sadly, I have never seen grits available outside the US.
For Joe: Grits are a traditional American dish made from ground dried hominy (a form of specially processed corn) which is simmered until it becomes soft and creamy. For most US southerners they are an integral part of breakfast. A hot plate of creamy grits is pure comfort food.
Thanks bob. Is it related in any way to sweetcorn, or closer to a porridge type thing?

I'd say it's more like porridge but not as coarse, though a true Southerner might have a more authoritative view.
thanks. Maybe SG (being our resident porridge expert) can expand?

Like everything else there is a World Championship of porridge making - it's held annually in Carrbridge in the highlands of Scotland.
People come from all over the world to compete for the (wait for it) Golden Spurtle which may sound like some kind of deviant yellow fun but is in fact a stick which one uses to stir the porridge.
I think the current World Champion is a Swede.
Other than that I can only say that porridge ought only ever have salt added to it - none of your sassenach sugar, honey, jam etc and it's traditional to chase it down with a shot of malt whisky. The Hilton hotel in Glasgow keeps a free bottle of malt next to the porridge urn at breakfast time and patrons are welcome to help themselves to a dram.

Most of my childhood and adult life was Vegemite-free, and I never missed it at all.
I rediscovered it on my return to Australia and now wonder how I ever lived without it!
Vegemite on toasted sourdough bread! Heaven! The perfect quick snack.
I only ever eat breakfast when I'm staying at a hotel. I always check out the breakfast buffet before I book.
