Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and living in a Haitian home, mothers are usually up as early as 5am preparing breakfast, even if its coffee and a loaf of Haitian bread. I woke up this morning and decided to make an American breakfast while thinking” I wonder what the rest of the world is preparing for breakfast right now.
Well, here is a small assortment to see how our fellow humans enjoy their early morning meals all over the world, there are some similarities of course, but there are also many differences. Either way, its always fun to try some of these out if you haven’t.
