DiningBuzz! - Breakfast for Dinner

I know lots of people eat breakfast for dinner. One friend said that it reminds them of their childhood ..their dad only knew how to cook breakfast, so on the nights he ended up cooking dinner...it was pancakes and eggs.

Some people will eat a bowl of cereal for dinnner because its easy.

I'm the complete opposite. I will eat just about any kind of dinner food for breakfast...(soup, salad, leftover meat and potatos) but the idea of eating breakfast food for dinner is just bizarre to me.

How about you?

Do you consider a Frittata breakfast food? Works for me for dinner.

I don't remember the last time I had breakfast food at any other time then breakfast. I use to do it all the time, in college sausage and eggs was pretty much a standard for going out at night. But outgrew it.

Now cold pizza for breakfast, that's wonderful.

My mom had curry for breakfast a couple days ago, but I've never really done the dinner for breakfast thing.

I love breakfast for dinner and like missydarlin, I love anything for breakfast

(especially cold tuna fish salad)

I used to live in a border town in Nevada and would cruise over to a nearby casino fairly regularly for its 24hr/day $0.99 breakfast (which later jumped to $1.99). Can't argue with the value if you couldn't be bothered to cook

dinner for breakfast, breakfast for dinner, it's all fine with me.

I just discovered the Flying Biscuit Cafe. It's a small chain out of Atlanta. I read reviews of the Atlanta locations after I went to the Charlotte location. I really liked the Charlotte location (and love that they don't serve pork), but the reviews of the Atlanta locations are all horrible. They have great biscuits and breakfast food.

I used to go to Eddie's Place for Sunday lunch, but Flying Biscuit is better and more moderate portions.

I can do breakfast any time of the day.... but usually reserve it for those times I hit those fine establishments like Denny's, IHop and Cracker Barrell.

However, I cannot find myself doing the opposite....

I will eat just about any kind of dinner food for breakfast...(soup, salad, leftover meat and potatos) but the idea of eating breakfast food for dinner is just bizarre to me.I'm like you. I don't like eating breakfast food for breakfast. I certainly don't want to eat it for dinner.

Nothing better for breakfast than leftover Chinese takeaway from the night before!^

Nothing better for breakfast than leftover Chinese takeaway from the night before!^Homemade enchiladas that have spent the night in the refrigerator actually seem to taste better the next morning than when freshly made - maybe the overnight chilling lets them "set" properly :) (but they should be heated up in a conventional oven, not a microwave).

Food's food. I'll eat anything, anytime.

Dinner food for breakfast, for me.

Creamed chipped beef on toast with a side of home fries is great at any meal. Yum.


I also love cold leftover pizza for breakfast.

I adore "breakfast for dinner" for us it tends to be waffles with bacon or sausage. Waffles are too much trouble to make in the morning when we're lucky if we can pour cereal into the bowls without spilling half of it.:D

I love both breakfast for dinner and dinner for breakfast. Sometimes I just want bacon and eggs. If it happens to be 6 pm...so be it.

To me, some foods (especially pasta) taste better the second day. Thus, I will eat lasagna or ziti for breakfast...especially on a weekend.

And nothing beats leftover turkey the day after Thanksgiving. I start early with turkey omelets then progress to the best meal of the year...my leftover turkey sandwich with stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and mayo on rye bread!

leftover stuffing is good anytime of day or night

I love making frittatas for dinner. They're like a quiche without the crust. I usually use leftover cooked veggies and cheese/goat cheese. Very tasty! :)

Before a long haul flight I will have an egg omelet or breakfast burrito with hash browns and some toast or a pancake along with some OJ. I feel that this gives me the energy for the long flight and I can sleep onboard. I also sometimes take my travel mug and fill it up with some cereal and then get some milk after security and enjoy it before my departure.

When I used to work a 1 PM to Midnight shift I used to have a lot of breakfast for dinner. When I got off work finally, IHOP was a favorite gathering place of mine. The t-bone steak and eggs with three pancakes was my personal favorite.

Now I can't remember the last time I did this, especially as I consider cereal an any time food.

Missy started this thread at 5:30 pm yesterday, the time my flight was due in. When I actually arrived at 6:40, it was quick stop at market, eggs, bacon, bread, OJ. Home for French Toast dinner, but out of syrup. So: two eggs over easy, shredded hashbrowns, 2.5 strips bacon, toast, OJ. Great dinner, almost as easy as a drive-through. Had the same this morning for breakfast.

So the answer is: Yes!

Obscure2K, I think of fritatta and quiche as lunch/dinner, never breakfast.

Lol, I just finished eating a bowl of cereal at 8pm my time when I saw this thread. Yep, eating breakfast food for dinner doesn't bother me if I'm in the mood for it. Can't bring myself to eat dinner food for breakfast though unless it's part of a big brunch.

Last night was the first time I ever had a bowl of cereal for dinner -- was on my way to a performance, nothing else in the house, no time to shop or eat out. Not my fave, but at least my stomach didn't start growling before intermission.

Well, a frittata could be a breakfast food except it takes too much time & I am hungry and want something quick. I agree that it is really good for dinner. Someone posted that it would be a good travel food. I agree. A frittata is excellent at room temperature.

So what would you consider THIS DISH. (http://images.travelpod.com/users/semi-backpacker/latin_america.1188936960.lomo_a_lo_pobre.jpg) There is a big piece of steak under the eggs, and it is muy chileno not-breakfast dish.

I love breakfast for dinner.

Just the other night we were out at a Diner and I had a patty melt burger and a side of pancakes. :)

Breakfast for dinner? Count me in anytime.

Don't do the opposite, unless its cold pizza and/or afternoon when I wake up..

My trouble is that I eat breakfast (eggs + meat + ??) every day for breakfast when at all possible. I prefer to eat it about 3-4 hours after I wake up, but can do it earlier. It's my big meal of the day. I would have no trouble eating it at night if I hadn't already eaten it earlier, but I tend to eat very light dinners. (PS. it's not breakfast without eggs, but can include tons of other things)

How are your cholesterol numbers? I would eat 3-4 eggs a day as well, as I find them delicious, but I worry about the cholesterol.

I don't remember the exact numbers, but the good was very high, and the bad was low. The doc was even amazed. He asked if I drink a lot of beer, which I do, and said that probably accounts for some of it, along with genes and the natural lethicin in eggs. I have been averaging 14 eggs per week for 31 years starting at age 20. Don't believe everything you read. Everyone is different. I eat tons of salt and smoke, and my BP 2 weeks ago was 120/66.

I, along with my immediate and extended family, officially hate you. :D

whats the other stuff under the eggs?

Other than the eggs, its just like steak frites.

Dinner for Breakfast

Dinner for Lunch

Dinner for Dinner

...and...

Dinner for Dessert

That would be awesome ^

I typically don't care for breakfast even during the morning... would never eat it for dinner... [and yes, some kind of egg, meat & potato dish is preferred for when I do eat breakfast] ~ [or homemade buttermilk pancakes :o]

I mean, it is almost a "steak and eggs" breakfast, but it is a lunch/dinner dish. So if you go down there, you can have "breakfast for dinner." :p

what about this?

If I'm having steak and eggs for breakfast, it usually means that the steak part is leftover from my dinner.

The quicker the preptime/cooking the better...



Leftover steak & potatoes is quick to make- just toss in an egg and heat - mmm

Now I wish I made breakfast this morning vs. Booking a flight...

im fairly open re meals. re dinner at breakfast >

crabcakes benedict :D

lighter things like asian omelet-style food (but with bread/etc not eggs), or maybe tonkatsu, dumplings

Breakfast at dinner is so easy....no fuss no muss. I like it. But I could eat dinner at breakfast too if I have leftovers. I don't cook much so they're usually aren't.

Bobette

Tonkatsu is light:confused:

Tonkatsu is heavy.

My kids picked us up at 5:00 AM at LAX following a red eye from KOA. We felt that the least we could do was buy them breakfast. We went to Pacific Dining Car in Santa Monica, which is open 24 hours. As it was about 3:00 AM in HI and we had not had a real dinner, I had crab hash with a poached egg on top.
It was a lot of crab, not mixed up with potatoes, so it wasn't a real hash. Potatoes were next to a huge portion of delicious crab. The only thing that made it a breakfast item was the poached egg. Still not sure what meal of the day I ate that morning. I think, for me, it was dinner. Everyone else seemed to be eating more traditional breakfasts. BTW, Pacific Dining Car (http://www.pacificdiningcar.com/) is not too far from LAX. Two locations: one in downtown Los Angeles, the other in Santa Monica. We went to Santa Monica.

Ummm... I still remember the bento box I picked up in the Paddington Station outlet of Marks & Spencer before grabbing the 7 am Heathrow Express. Nothing better than sushi, cold soba, and mixed pickles for breakfast. Sure the English looked at me funny.....but fried tomatoes & baked beans are NOT a *real breakfast* in my book.

And where does Rosco's Chicken and Waffles fall in the Breakfast/Dinner continuum?

mmm... that does sound good for breakfast ^

If I'm having a particularly bad day, eating a real breakfast later on, seriously does help me feel as if I'm starting the day over.

Try it and see!

If I don't feel like cooking dinner or I have been out and it's late when I get home, I usually grab the Bisquick and make some pancakes with fried eggs on top. Cut into those eggs, let the yolk and butter mix up all over the cakes, mm mmm, that's good eats. Back in my younger days I used to date a stripper and many times I would hang out at the club with her and when the club closed at 2am and we left, the favoite destination was Denny's for Grand Slams so breakfast late night became something I got to like. It was also fun going out with 5 or 6 strippers but that's for another thread :D

I know lots of people eat breakfast for dinner.

How about you?


Love eating breakfast for dinner.

Growing up my mother would make pancakes and bacon for dinner every couple of months. It was a treat for everybody.
