Last night I made scallops on pasta with a light cream sauce and peas. It was delish, and I only ate about half of it. It's 9am here and I'm craving it for breakfast. Is that weird to eat something like this for breakfast? Does anyone else eat non traditional food for breakfast? When I was in Thailand I ate soup every morning and it was the bomb.

    Pork fried rice and pizza are my favorite breakfasts.
    Pork fried rice on top of pepperoni pizza is also yummy to start the day.

    While visiting Japan I ate sushi at the tsukiji fish market at around 7 am. I thought it would be weird but it turned out to be amazing!! Pho for breakfast in Vietnam. I think the concept of breakfast food in America is mostly just corporate advertising.

    For cereals, I would agree. But culturally, there are breakfast foods that don't have anything to do with advertising and different cultures have different breakfast traditions. Pho is a common breakfast food in Vietnam for example...my Vietnamese friends think it's funny that we eat it for lunch or dinner as Americans. Biscuits and gravy or ham and grits are common breakfast traditions in the southern U.S. Eggs, bacon, and potatoes have a long tradition as breakfast food in the U.S. When I was in Honduras, baleadas is a traditional breakfast...flour tortilla with mashed fried beans, cabbage, and salty cheese thrown on a grill. Also, fried chicken and a boiled egg was pretty common.

    I so agree! When in Bangkok, the hotel had a huge breakfast buffet and had "areas" such as "Indian", "American", etc. In the American section it was mostly pancakes, waffles and pastries. This is what other cultures think we eat every day.

    Breakfast for dinner is a hallowed tradition in my house. :)

    It’s probably unusual in the USA but if that’s what you like, great!

    I am also in the cold pizza for breakfast and breakfast for dinner boat.

    Some days my daughter asks for rice for breakfast. Plain white boiled rice.

    Just eat it. Who cares anyway if it's "weird" or not?

    I always found it interesting how majority of the American population think of desserts/cakes (i.e. donuts, pancakes smothered in syrup, sugary cereal) as “normal” breakfast food. No wonder there is an obesity/diabetic epidemic.

    I think your scallops on pasta with peas sounds much more healthy and filling than the typical breakfast pastry. I’m an intermittent faster, but in the rare occasion I do eat breakfast, I’d much rather eat dinner leftovers than traditional breakfast. I’ve also gotten the kids in the habit of eating leftover dinner/veggies for breakfast instead if cereal or waffles.

    The thing that "traditional" breakfast foods tend to have in common across cultures is that they are either relatively quick to make fresh on top of the stove* (eggs, breakfast meats in skillet, cooked cereal, griddle cakes) or can be made ahead and reheated for breakfast (toast or pain perdu from yesterday's bread, pho according to another poster here). Leftovers would fit into the latter category.

    And personally, I would want to eat leftover seafood and pasta sooner rather than later. Food safety issues aside, this isn't a stew, soup, or similar dish that might improve after a day in the refrigerator. It's never going to taste better later.

    I eat leftovers for breakfast all the time. I've started making "dinners" specifically for breakfast, like having black beans and salsa on winter squash or turkey sweet potato chili. I always eat the leftover vegetables cold first. Soups are great for breakfast!

    What is "traditional food for breakfast"?
