What country serves the best breakfast?
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! I love eating bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches on a bagel right from my own kitchen... BUT, when I'm traveling my favorite restaurants to find (or look for) are those which serve phenomenal breakfasts. So... in which country have you eaten the best breakfast?

Breakfast is overall my favorite meal of the day as well, as long as it's eaten a couple of hours after waking. It's also normally my biggest meal of the day. Since I like hot and hearty, of the countries I've visited, the US is #1, Mexico is #2, Thailand is #3.

Your #2 is my #1. I like eating meat for breakfast. Thai breakfasts I like as well.

During the work week I usually have "Italian breakfast": coffee, cigarette and a bad mood, taken standing up and in a hurry.

I don't think you can single out anywhere as having the best breakfast. It's what you prefer to eat.
I for instance love Asian food but can't eat traditional Asian breakfasts.
I cook breakfast for my children nearly every morning. During the week, it's egg White omelettes with a fried or poached egg on top or Porridge with sultana's and a variety of fruits.
At the weekends it's bacon sandwiches, full English and the best breakfast in the world - eggs Benedict.
Where have I had the best eggs Benedict? Copenhagen. The UK and US have some fine examples too.
So it's all down to personal preference.
