How breakfast looks in other countries

Every day for breakfast, some listeners really go all out for breakfast, but if you’re sick of eating the same thing every day — check out what people in ten other countries typically have for breakfast:

1. Japan: White rice, miso soup, and pickled vegetables.

2. India: Dosa, which is kind of like a crêpe . . . sambar, which is a vegetable stew with lentils . . . and a side of chutney.

3. Germany: Two hard-boiled eggs, two or three sausages, and a bread roll.

4. England: Eggs, grilled tomatoes, a few strips of bacon, and sausage.

5. China: Congee, which is a type of porridge. (Pronounced conjee) And a “pork bun,” which is kind of like a dumpling.

6. Iran: Butter and jam on a piece of naan, which is flatbread.

7. Italy: A roll of bread with jam, and a cup of coffee.

8. Sweden: Untoasted bread with cold cuts and cucumber, plus some tomatoes, and a hard-boiled egg. And when they make coffee, they mix a raw egg in with the grounds.

9. Russia: Rye bread, porridge, and sausage.

10. Australia: Corn Flakes, and toast with Vegemite. That’s a dark brown paste made using leftover yeast from breweries.
