Since we are in Israel I vote that the meal be at a Kosher restaurant. The exact type of restaurant we can vote on as the time draws closer.
But looking over the non-Kosher items such as pork products, I guess there goes the traditional bacon and egg breakfast. In fact most American breakfast meats...sausage, ham, whatever...are pork-based.
So what is a "typical" breakfast in Israel?
