I'm not the only one that has said they've never been served beans with
breakfast in this country. It is not common to have any kind of beans with
an American breakfast.

That's a non sequitur, isn't it? I asked if you'd be open-minded to the idea
of beans with breakfast and you said, "Sure. Post a menu." In that exchange,
there was no implication as to how unusual it would be (for YOU) to have
beans at breakfast, nor was there any implication that you meant a
RESTAURANT menu.

When I posted a couple menus, you amended what you wrote to say that you
*did* mean a restaurant menu, and when others posted restaurant menus where
beans are offered at breakfast, you retreated even further into a statement
that "American" breakfasts don't normally contain beans -- even though I
never got into any discussion of "American" breakfasts at all.

So what I'm getting here is that you are NOT open-minded. Why did you say
you were? What EXACTLY do you mean by the term "American breakfast," and
where did you ever state that "American" breakfasts were the only breakfasts
you would ever be interested in eating?

I like your attitude - leaves more beans for me. :-)

It's always been a problem cooking for my frail, under-weight
mother-in-law. The doctor prescribed some marijuana pills to increase
her appetite but it seems to make her a little loopy. It now occurs to
me that the easiest way to get her to eat her food is to use a large
amount of sugar - a strategy used by the evil corporations. I'm gonna
make everything taste like dessert. Am I a bad person?

Depends on whether it came out of a tin or not Just tossed on the

There's only one sort LOL. Would depend on the caff where the fryup was
prepared. Usually quite generic but have had regional sausage in a
regional fryup.

Brown sauce. Popular condiment, vaguely related to HP sauce. Can be

Sorry! Missed the location. Don't think Sizzler's around here do a

years.

Homes, small restaurants, small cafes etc. The sort of nameless places I
generally prefer for meals while travelling. Since I have only eaten at
Denny's once (as a university student), can't comment on their
breakfasts.

Not arguing. Since I rarely eat at those places (mostly because they are
disgusting to me) can't comment. Said before that we don't eat at the
same places! It's hardly arguing.

As long as you can get her to eat, I do not see the problem. I hope you
are around when I get old. I would even share my "medicine" with you. :-)

She ate a big bowl of oatmeal this morning. Her bowl was bigger than
mine. It's amazing. I sliced and sugared some strawberries and mixed
that in. My wife will add some milk and some sugar but my secret
ingredient is non-dairy, creme-brulee flavored sweetened coffee creamer
liberally poured on top. That's great stuff. It's like pouring extra
sweet melted ice cream on cereal. :-)

I found those two with a quick Google. I don't have time to find more.

I personally see nothing wrong with beans for breakfast, but then, I
had smoked sweetbreads for breakfast this morning...

I'm an adult and can eat what I want, when I want, and I'm not a
traditionalist. <g>

It may not be "common" but it does exist...
It's often more traditional with camping food!

I know. And yes, I'm strict. I have to be... <sigh>
It's all that works for me.

I mostly live on meat and leafy greens and other green veggies.

You've seen me post menus. :-)

Must be some sort of female affliction. "It's not common, but it does
exist..."

He's not dead, but he looks like it.
It's not a million dollars, but it'll buy a stick of gum.
You may not have slept with her, but you looked.

Some sort of "conflict" gene, an insurmountable inate inability to say, "By
Jove, you are right". No wonder married men never win an argument.

Just curious.. I did not see too many "I hate beans" type posts. In fact
not any. What I saw was "not usual for breakfast".

Anyone think it's odd that a few want us all to think that it's a
regular breakfast item in the US?

Don't get me wrong. I love beans in many different places, and in many
different ways.

But I don't believe it is a regular breakfast item (in the US), no
matter who says it is.

I live here, have eaten breakfast in many states, and not once was it a
breakfast item, therefore, it is not usual.

That it all.

One sort of sausage??

I know plain and usually cheap pork is normal for breakfast, but there are
lots of sorts!

You and Mrs. P really want to own this subject, so you can have it. I
didn't hear anyone claim it was a usual item nor that it was offered in
restaurant breakfasts.
Where I grew up, in Maine, it was common as were many other foods people eat
for dinner. That was then, and nowadays like everywhere else, people don't
eat those big breakfasts so often.
Is it an everyday thing? No and it never was. Is it a restaurant thing?
Rarely. Would anyone even blink at it in New England? No. Seems like the
SW is much the same.

Giusi - I don't think the Mrs. P, or I am trying to own anything here...
Nor did "we" claim it to be (or not) a regular menu item anywhere.
Where did you get that?

I simply stated I have eaten breakfast in many states, and beans were
not offered. I do not understand how that would be an issue with you.

In fact, let me take it another step... I'd be "happy" to try beans as
part of a breakfast offering.

Do you have issues with that also?

Bob, beans and eggs actually go very well together, either as a
breakfast, lunch or dinner item. :-)

There really are few hard and fast rules when it comes to food.
That is part of what makes it so much fun!

I have no issues about what you eat or what you think of what you eat.
Every time anyone offered any information about eating beans with breakfast
in the US one or both of you raised the bar.
1.It has to have been offered on restaurant menus
2.It must not be an "ethnic" (Mexican) restaurant
3. One must personally have seen it

Not my issue.

I'm still confused based on your posting.

I never said anything about restaurant offerings. I did not look, but I
think Mrs. P did not say anything about that either.

I think neither of us said anything about "Mexican" offerings. I know I
did not.

I also stated that while I have not personally seen "beans" offered for
a breakfast side, I did not say it was something I would either not want
there, or something I would not like.

Anything else you need to have clarified?

Yes, she did. She asked us to show her that beans were offered on any
diner or restaurant breakfast menus. :-)

That's part of what made Kathleens Monty Python reference so funny!

I would never had seen it, as I don't do buffets. Too many gross people
has already been there, and you have no idea what they did while in line.

Anywho, I didn't say I wouldn't like beans as part of breakfast, just
said I hadn't seen it in the US.

One sort of *banger*! It is one type of sausage among an infinite amount
of types in the UK.
The other sorts are usually referred to by their proper names:
Cumberland, chipolata, Glamorgan (which is vegetarian) etc etc.

No one ever said it was regular; just that a lot of people eat it. That
isn't the same thing at all LOL

But other people in the group (and likely other people in general) have.
I've never had root beer (it sounds revolting) but that doesn't mean it
doesn't exist.

Now you gone and did it... FOOD FIGHT!

No seriously.

I'll end my posting in this thread with the following:

1) I am not now, or ever havebeen against beans. Beans are our friends.
2) Beans and me go way back (in fact grandpa when babysitting normally
fed me bean soup with ketchup, and a small glass of beer (shush!). I
think it's because he couldn't cook anything else.
3) I am willing to have beans as part of breakfast.
4) Just haven't seen it as a common offering in the US for breakfast.

And with that, I'm not posting on beans in this thread again for others
to misinterpret what I said.

Damn! Root beer is my favorite soft drink. :-) Used to be known as
Sarsparilla.

Add in a dollop of vanilla ice cream for pure heaven... ;-d

Isn't sarsaparilla a bit different than root beer?
