Mini-Poll: BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

It's widely accepted that sugary cereal is the king of Saturday Morning Breakfast, sure... and we'll be getting to a poll about your favorite 80's Breakfast Cereal somewhere down the line... but not everybody ate cereal! For instance my friend, Greg, always had two toaster waffles with raisins in the holes. Kevin had Pop Tarts. And Amber had Hippie Parents so she always had either Granola or an actual "Well Balanced Breakfast" (I loved getting to sleep over at Amber's house). And even I myself was known to have an English Muffin with cheese on top every once in a while :) So this has got me thinking... Cereal has always been considered king, but what if it's actually something else?

Let's make this official. Let's use SCIENCE and DATA to determine once and for all what the KING of Saturday Morning Breakfasts should actually be shall we? Vote for whatever you actually at at breakfast, check all that apply and if I've missed anything feel free to mention it in the comments :)

Cereal all the way, baby. Although, the PSA option amused me, and there were times I didn't eat. I was just busy, busy.

Time-For-Timer is rolling over in his grave somewhere... at thery least you could have taken two crackers, a piece of sausage and some cheese, right? Look, a WAGON WHEEL!!!

A bowl of Cap'n Crunch to start with at 6:25 AM, just in time to eat while watching Captain Kangaroo. Out of the box as a snack later. And the occasional Pop Tart as a treat.

My dad always made chocolate chip pancakes.

[studiorayn.livejournal.com]

HA! I was just thinkin the same thing-Cap'n Crunch! LOL

I guess this shows a little of my culture. I would run into the fridge and tear off cold pieces of tortillas. ;-)

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

My stomach wouldn't allow for that, or definitely not the sausage. I like them, but they don't like me. Heh.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

You had an awesome Dad... I do that for my own daughter now :)

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you're Russian :P

[ravenbloodmist.livejournal.com]

You forgot to mention coacoa, French croissants and grandma´s homade cake :)

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know... LJ limited me to just 15 entries per poll! Would have also added Liver Patte, Cucumber Sandwiches, Steak, The Blood of The Innocent and Gravel :(

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

Dang, if I had known "The Blood of the Innocent" was a choice, I would have voted for that. Heh.

[lu-ludicrous.livejournal.com]

Oh man, this brings back memories.

As I was a sad little lactose intolerant kiddo from an immigrant family, the sugary cereals my friends had were my source of envy for years. My own breakfast consisted of rye toast and porridge.

Occasionally we were treated to placki (polish potatoe pancakes) which was always my favourite.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

That's so sad :( But now that stuff like Lactaid is readily available you have gotten to try The Good Stuff, yes?

I have to add...

[beagle1.livejournal.com]

Pancakes!! Oh man when my mom made those, Saturday morning rocked more than normal!

[weavercat.livejournal.com]

Cereal, milk and maybe a box of Pop-Tarts later. <3 I was a very sugarless child then. XD

[superhyattbeam.livejournal.com]

I'd have voted for cucumber sandwiches. 8(

My grandfather actually got food delivered from Schwan's when I was little, and one of the things he always had on hand were these little ready-made hashbrowns that you just cooked up in a skillet. They were delicious, especially smothered in ketchup. :T

Other than that, probably English muffins for the win. Once or twice I also tried a couple of strawberry Pop-tarts with a slice of American cheese in the middle. BETTER THAN IT SOUNDS, REALLY.

This is making me hungry for breakfast! My grandma used to make little Swedish potato pancakes, we'd put jam on them...delicious! And scrambled eggs and juice. I love making that for my own daughter now!

Re: I have to add...

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Some people had parents that rocked, others had parents who were too hung-over and just wanted us to go watch some cartoons while "Momma rests her eyes"...

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

I'll just have to trust you on that one...

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Okay now THAT, I think, counts as a "Part Of This Balanced Breakfast" meal :)

[superhyattbeam.livejournal.com]

It has kind of a warm fruit and cheese effect that's kind of awesome. To be fair you have to microwave it a little to get the cheese melty, but...

... it's really no surprise that I first heard about it on trashy_eats, is it.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

So THAT'S the community I know you from :)

I can see doing it with cream cheese, but cheddar?

[superhyattbeam.livejournal.com]

Probably! Gosh, it's been ages since I was active there. XD Small world.

It would probably work with either, come to think of it. Cheddar also has a nice sweet/savory effect that I kinda dig though.
