18 Breakfasts From Around the World

BREAKFAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL, and while traveling I like to treat myself to things I’d normally not eat back home, like spicy noodle soups in Thailand, or decadent pastries in France. Below are a few first meals from around the world; I’m especially intrigued by what the “cooked breakfast” option in Antarctica consists of. Not all are necessarily traditional cuisines from the countries listed, but I still think it’s interesting to type “breakfast” into a search box and see how people elsewhere start their day.

9. Italy

10. Morocco

A typical #Moroccanbreakfast: An assortment of pastries and delicious spreads, olives, Haria soup, mint tea and fresh pressed orange juice. All served on beautiful handmade ceramics from the ceramics district in Fes. The blue color of the ceramics is the signature color of Fes. #moroccanadventure #moroccanadventures #mymoroccanadventure #moroccantravel #moroccotravel #marrakech #marrakesh #travel #tourism #roadtrip #moroccanguides #MNDKmoroccanadventure #Africa #morocco #minttea #olives #orangejuice #riad #fes #fez #instatravel

13. Chile

Desayuno, pita crocante con palta. Chile es el mayor consumidor Sudamericano de palta, 5kg per capita. Per colazione i #cileni mangiano la #Marraqueta (pane locale) con la #palta (#avocado). La palta in Cile e di super qualità, quindi, la colazione alla cilena è un MUST. Ecco alcuni dati.. Consumo per capita: Messico 9kg. Israele 6kg. Chile 5kg. Perù 2kg.
