Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so they say. But it can also get pretty boring if you eat the same thing day after day. If you want to start your days with something a bit more exciting, here are some breakfast ideas from around the world that may strike your fancy.
Pancakes with Lingonberry – Sweden
Let’s start you off with something easy. You’re pretty much guaranteed to love this Swedish breakfast of pancakes that are a bit thicker than crepes but not quite as fluffy as the American variety. Served with lingonberry preserves, they’re starchy and not too sweet.
Saltfish and Ackee – Jamaica
Okay, now for something a little more adventurous. Jamaica’s classic breakfast dish is built around the Jamaican national dish of saltfish fritters and a creamy fruit called ackee, whose golden color makes it easily mistaken for scrambled eggs. It’s usually served with fried plantains and a kale-like, green-leafed vegetable called callaloo.
Nasi Lemak – Malaysia
This breakfast, nasi lemak, is incredibly popular in Malaysia. It’s a combination of rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaves, a boiled egg, sambal chili, fried anchovies, and peanuts. It’s definitely a great way to get your fuel in the morning!
