Do I prepare a cooked breakfast or do most prefer a different type. Please help:o We eat beaver sausages with Maple syrup, birch bark pancakes with Eskimo hashbrowns........ LOL Sorry just had to ! Anyway I think we Canadians eat bacon , eggs, and toast would be the norm. However why dont you ask them . Enjoy your company :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseryyc Posted April 15, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2012 If I'm preparing my own breakfast - toast with peanut butter If someone else is cooking - eggs, waffles, pancakes, bacon, sausages - any of those will do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban trekker Posted April 15, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Sausage McMuffin no egg. At home - peanut butter and honey sandwich. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted April 16, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Pretty much same stuff as breakfast in US. Bacon, eggs, sausage if having a hot breakfast (but that is not most days). Coffee or hot tea, cereal or toast is more everyday fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted April 16, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Do I prepare a cooked breakfast or do most prefer a different type. I think they would be delighted to sample some fine British cuisine. Your guests will most likely be as gracious as you as host are trying to be, so worry no more and cook them up a delicious British fry-up. :D ~ so recommends my Canadian son who recently returned from a year in Watford, England ~ :) .

Ephraim Posted April 16, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Silly Canucks, help a family out.... For breakfast Canadians generally eat yogurt, fresh fruit, a selection of home made butter croissant, eggs Benedict, a cheese souffle and of course a selection of bacon, sausage and andouille sausages. A side of fresh pastry is also appreciated as well as strong espresso, good Red Rose tea of a wonderful cup of Tim Horton's coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a Canadian breakfast without smoked salmon. Oh, and a sprinkling of caviar if not. Seriously, pretty well the same as British breakfast, maybe a little lighter.

Langley Cruisers Posted April 16, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I think some of you are missing the subtle point: OP lives in the UK. Wouldn't it be fabulous to offer their guests a typical (or fancy) British breakfast instead of what they might be used to? *shrug* When we went to England, we ate British food. When we went to Italy, we ate Italian food. I know OP is asking sincerely and trying to be a gracious host, but I can't imagine a more fitting welcome to the UK than by offering some typical British fare. Obviously, I seem to be in the minority here. Oh well. EDITED to add: most Canadians eat smoked salmon and caviar for breakfast? REALLY? Gosh. I'm hanging with the wrong crowd. .

lamchops Posted April 16, 2012 #14 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I know this sounds a stupid question, but I have some Canadians coming to stay overnight and wondered what most Canadians eat. Do I prepare a cooked breakfast or do most prefer a different type. Please help:o The average canadian would eat a north american style of breakfast. Having been on a Medi cruise I've seen both the British and American buffet lines. No black pudding or blood sausage please though I can eat chips.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtsbusiness Posted April 16, 2012 Author #15 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks all. I knew mushy peas and chips would go down a storm :rolleyes::D They are travelling at the moment and so I can't check with them, so obviously I need to put all your suggestions together and buy a bigger fridge to store them in. No beavers, but I wonder if moles will do!!! :p I think I will have our normal eggs bacon sausage beans toast and marmalade available, and if they prefer I have cereals, fruit etc. I know it sounded a daft question, but I just had to know, and who better to ask than all my friends on line. :) Thanks everyone for the advice and the smiles :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they seem adventurous, you can always broaden their horizons with a little black pudding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putterdude Posted April 17, 2012 #18 Share Posted April 17, 2012 My breakfasts run the gamut from toast and coffee, to dry cereal & coffee, to soft boiled eggs on toast & coffee and everything in between....however on Sunday mornings for DW we start with a Bloody Mary, while I cook up a full breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash-browns and coffee and let her clean up.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no fuss travel Posted April 29, 2012 #22 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I just loved the replies and then decided that I prefer a little more sleep to a big breakfast. On the weekends when we have time its pancakes or French Toast one day and the eggs and bacon the next. The one thing I missed in the UK when I was there each time was hot toast. Sorry, I am just not a fan of cold toast.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtsbusiness Posted April 29, 2012 Author #23 Share Posted April 29, 2012 NOSEKH I am sorry you feel insulted by the fact that I wanted to be sure to give my visitors a breakfast they would enjoy :eek: To the rest of you wonderful people, thank you for all your suggestions. I can see that as long as I have my usual store cupboard/fridge full of groceries I will be able to give them the breakfast they want - including hot toast which is also a necessity for me ;);) Thanks again everyone :):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
