I've got to say, I love in principle that McD's has gone to all day breakfast... but my favorite item (the actual, non-patty scrambled eggs from the big breakfast) is not served all day.

From a fellow yank, it would be at least as affected-sounding as calling a truck a lorry or a car's hood a bonnet.

Strange. In the US, I don't know any Brits or Aussies, but I hear the term brekkie all the time, as far back as I can remember. It's simply a shortcut word for breakfast like spendy is a shortcut for expensive. Or any of dozens of other examples. Lorry and bonnet are not shortcut words, and would definitely turn my head. Anyway, back on topic, I'm positive I've had burgers early AM at McDs in US airports, though it has been several years.

They certainly have a full lunch menu during breakfast hours at the McD's in the AA terminal at JFK. No McD's at SFO or SJC, nor to my memory one at LGA, and that pretty much is the limit of US airports I've been at early enough for breakfast in recent or even halfway-recent memory.

That said, I've never understood the particular obsession about eating certain foods only for specific meals (ditto the Americanism that dinner should be the big meal of the day; I preferred a big lunch and a lighter dinner.)
Of course, from a restaurant perspective and particularly a fast-food perspective, it makes sense because to have a bigger menu, you have to have more advance prep items and have more different things going on at once.

I posted this in another DiningBuzz thread. My new McDonalds meal of choice, which is not for the calorie conscious, is:
- A 6 piece McNugget Meal
- Two McDoubles
Take three McNuggets and put them on top of each McDouble, they should fit perfectly. Then add Sweet n' Sour sauce and you have a McDouble-McNugget sandwich!
