Depends on where I'm living. I used to eat phở all the time (which is actually mostly a breakfast food or an in-between meal). Phở is a great breakfast, especially when hungover. Just add fresh chili, fried chili and extra lime juice.

I'm also a big fan of croissants, but good croissants are hard to find. Other than croissants and phở, leftovers usually do me just fine. I don't get why so many people are so particular about "breakfast food" and get excited when they "get" to eat something like pancakes for dinner. Food is food.

Whatever I eat in the morning, the most important for me is a big glass of water.

Yep. It's just not the same over here and I can't pin down why. It might be that the beef is too nice and is given feed instead of grass, but I couldn't say for sure. It's probably a million different things.

I feel the same about the two banh mi op la's I used to eat every day. American patê is simply not as sun-stained and genuine.

Much as I do not want to know how long that block of patê has been sitting there and no matter how little I want to eat it on its own, it is an indispensable part of an authentic banh mi. Can you believe people pay $7 -$12 for one here?
