Depends where you live...

Pho is definitely a breakfast meal in Vietnam (as opposed to lunch/dinner).

I enjoyed the breakfast buffet at the Crowne Plaza hotel on the outskirts of Bucharest in Romania. Tomatoes were part of that buffet.

The only way tomatoes can taste any better than the ones in Romania is if you grew them yourself and ate it just after it was freshly picked right off of the vine, in my opinion.

I have always loved the German and Swedish breakfasts. I love the open faced sandwiches and bread with jam and cheese!

Another vote for a German breakfast. The little hard rolls with fresh butter and jam are wonderful. The Muesli is wonderful as well and although I'm not normally a coffee drinker, the strong German brews are a favorite of mine.

I like those rolls in the evening, but in the morning I think my jaw is just too asleep to manage them! I recall getting them on a lot of Lufthansa flights and just getting defested after a mouthful! I do the RitterSport chocolates from LH tho - haven't flown with them in ages!

German breakfast?? Nah...

Dutch breakfast far surpasses it with their take on scrambled eggs and much better cheeses and ham....then there is the garlic butter and excellent coffee.

What are those chocolate sprinkles called? :D

Chocolate vermicelli? The things they seem from the pictures to scatter on bread? We had them at home as a child but we put them on ice cream!

As was mentioned in Vietnam it's widely available for Breakfast. It's amusing to head by mid-range hotels and see a waiter from the hotel going to a street vendor to get the pho for some guests lunch :)

This has got to be the first time that I've heard anyone praise the Netherlands for the food.

Thanks (to an extent) to immigrants from Maluku. Also known as the Moluccas or Spice Islands. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moluccas

Yep! That, and biscuits and gravy.

Herring isn't really a German breakfast staple in most parts, but since North Germany gets lots of Scandinavian tourists, it can be found on most breakfast buffets. I much prefer it to the rather boring farmed salmon.

Cured salmon only really tastes good when it's freshly prepared, maybe with some junipers added to the usual salt, sugar, dill and lemon. Also smoked fish begins to taste tired rather quickly.

The wonderful thing about herring is that when pickled it really lasts well provided it can be stored cool. And the taste is, especially to someone who has eaten it from early childhood, a great blend of sour and sweet notes.

Herring with boiled egg, dill and salty butter on black bread. Now that is a breakfast of (Viking) champions.

Herring is really an underrated fish. Unfortunately the stocks also overfished.

Only in the context of a German breakfast. Best for me would be some smoked haddock and poached eggs....with a slice of black pudding on the side naturally....:D
