Breakfast!

I sometimes ask people the question which meal is their favorite. Not like taco pie or French toast (scratch that, taco pie and French toast, definitely the best meal I could ever have in the future ever, because I’ve never had both at once), more like breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I’ll even allow hobbit meals, snack time, midnight ice cream, anything that you have had that you might remotely consider a meal. I am here, now, to tell you that I think you’re all wrong. I have kind of been up in the air about this before, but I always bring it back to breakfast, easily my favorite. There are too many things to like. Just to name some foods, cereal (way too many good cereals to name but a few: lucky charms, cocoa anything, fruity pebbles, anything that has a lot of sugar, some things that don’t, etc.), French toast, regular toast, English muffins, bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles, breakfast sandwiches, the list goes on. Breakfast is sometimes criticized (or rather, really is not criticized because nobody ever brings this up and I think I could provide a nice counterpoint, but all the other stuff counteracts it even if it does stand (which I don’t really think it does)) because of its lack of variety. There’s not actually a whole bunch more things you could add to the list above. On the other hand part of making something great is knowing how to use it, and I think there is great variety with only what I offered. Taking the example of cereal, which I just cracked the tip of, there are tons of different types of cereal. There are a million ways to make an egg. Most of breakfast food has the ability to be made a bunch of different ways (which can be said of almost any food, but the point here is that there’s enough variety that you wouldn’t have to get tired of any specific thing). The other great thing about breakfast is that it pretty much encompasses every food eaten in brunch (breakfast’s biggest competition), or as I like to call it, hungover breakfast. Plus there’s some great special opportunity breakfast that sometimes goes unnoticed, like steak and eggs. Oh wait, steak for breakfast, boom tho. Also, as shown by brunch, breakfast has the ability to carry to any meal of the day, like say dinner. By the way that’s not a point for dinner, like dinner’s awesome because you can have pancakes, it’s more like you’re having breakfast (again) at a later time of the day. Double point for breakfast, it can happen any time of day and it’s so good you want it twice. BOOM THO. Winner: Breakfast. See breakfast is so great it won without me including some other important points, like it’s the most important, best meal for you (not to be confused with healthiest), of the day. It kick starts your metabolism and starts burning your calories earlier in the day. It makes you hungry for more. It satisfies your hunger of just waking up. And to think, this newfound conviction (don’t get me wrong, like I said, I always thought this, but now I know it and need to proclaim it) all comes from me running out of anything that I could have for breakfast. Oh wait just you know, this means that in a house of two people where 1.07 people eat breakfast, we ran out of breakfast food first. Awesome. Breakfast is awesome.
