Breakfast

Breakfast is the first meal of the day. It gets the body going, the brain online, and the household slightly less feral. If you do not like breakfast, you may want to move along. This section is aggressively pro-breakfast.

Why breakfast gets its own lane

Morning doctrine

Breakfast can be as simple as a fried egg, which sounds easy right up until you try to make the same perfect fried egg every time. "Simple" is often code for "no place to hide." One minute too long and your silky yolk becomes a cautionary tale.

On the other end of the spectrum, you have a proper Irish fry-up made by the mom of one of my closest friends. She is in Ireland. He is not in Ireland. Geography is cruel, and that breakfast remains one of my benchmark meals anyway.

My teenagers love breakfast. My wife loves breakfast. That is part of why I keep them around. So this category exists for real-world mornings: food that starts the day right, tastes like it matters, and still works before caffeine has fully done its job.
