Prolly like 70% of the stuff you find in typical Chinese take out joints across america is serving food that doesn't exist outside of america. The ever popular General Tso's Chicken? No such dish in real Chinese cooking buddy....lol

Same with pretty much all ethnic food in america...pizza for instance, or mexican tacos. All we americans know of tacos is that they are like the stuff from Taco Bell. The real stuff could not be more different and is infinitely better.

Just grow up understanding that it is hard to find authentic ethnic food in america, but not impossible - you just need to go where chinese/japanese/mexican/italian/german/french/whatever go to eat this is one gigantic, almost totally unique advantage of living in nyc, the biggest, most diverse global melting pot in the world. i can pretty much find totally authentic cuisine from every culture within 3-5 miles of manhattan. i have a totally authentic ethiopian restaurant 1 block fom my condo for christ's sake! lol

I almost envy you in a way - you are so young you're like a blank slate in terms of food experience. shit, the very first time you have a real steak, perfectly preparded medium rare you will probably piss your pants in delight...

lol

back to the breakfasts!!

You know that doesn't sound like a bad idea, Thanks! It's 06:12 and I've been cramming for an exam all night. I had a pizza around 03:00 to keep the hunger away, so two cups of coffee and a banana will probably do it for me.

NYC looks such a nice place to live. Never been there though, but definitelly going to get there within 5 years. Too bad airline tickets to NY are not that cheap for a student like me. NYC looks to me as what the US should stand for: all cultures thoroughly mixed and people from many different backgrounds living together. It's a shame that the mosk-thing came along and messed it up. I thought people from NYC were more open minded than that.

[WalkGood]

Egg sandwich and two cups of EAFCA

[Marvin the Martian]

Two cups of instant coffee.....too lazy to brew the real stuff today.

[lestatar]

As of my breakfast today....lol, its Saturday, I slept in and skipped breakfast, time to start thinking about lunch!

[Adub]

Kinda late posting i completely forgot i took the pic until now haha. Ate breakfast at like 2pm because i lost track of time so i was really hungry. 3 egg omlet with peppers, jalapeno, onions, cheese and tomato. Fried up some ham slices, a couple pita breads and limeaide.

[sideways]

Looks awesome adub. I had 2 scrambled eggs, a can of beans and some bacon.

[Marvin the Martian]

Coffee and Advil......my back is killing me!

[sonorguy]

Woke up to a breakfast of strawberry pancakes, hash browns, eggs with ham, cheese and veggies and bacon prepared by my gf, a good start to a lazy Sunday.

[Citizen]

[nodirectionhome]

Uuurrghhhh, I hate cinnamon.

I love coming to the USA but the darn country is in love with this bl**dy spice. Why on earth should adding this stuff make food taste better.

In fact to me the whole of the USA smells of the stuff

Anyhow, I like what WalkGood had, sounds a bit like Huevos Rancheros which is a Mexican breakfast dish.

Me, well I am on a diet and so I had two boiled eggs and two dark rye Ryvita crispbreads.......its food Jim, but not as we know it.

Forgot, and a pint of tea....I am british afterall

Heh, seems we had pretty similar breakfasts. I had two hardboiled eggs sliced onto 4 slices of buttered rye toast with a dash of salt on top and a cup of coffee. I got hungry while boiling the eggs so I had two ham sandwiches while they were boiling. I'm not on a diet...

I used the rest of the (2) eggs I boiled in the morning for a tuna/tomato/egg/balsamic vinegar/olive oil salad later in the day.
