      I couldn’t eat any of these for breakfast as delicious as they look, they’re just too “stodgy” (learned that term from this show lol). If I eat carbs I get tired lol. And it’s still so hard to get my American breakfast mentality away from traditional “breaks fast” foods like bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast, sausage, etc.

I've also literally never had them with butter and honey, or even feta and olives...they're a very common snack plain, and sometimes they're sliced horizontally and filled with cheese and maybe ham, then toasted. Either way they're delicious! Used to get them all the time at school.

    It is awesome to see an attempt at a Ghanaian dish on this channel :)
    Waakye which is pronounced more like "wah-chay" and is a Hausa word, not Nigerian. It originates from Northern Ghana which has a lot of Hausa people. Waakye tends to be little more reddish brown and black-eyed peas are used most often and the rice and beans are most often cooked in water with some salt. It is served with SO many things like a tomato stew, a pepper sauce known as shito, some spaghetti, some gari (cassava flakes), meat or fish or egg or all of them, and a side of plantain. It is the combination of all these that make waakye one of the most sought-after dishes for breakfast or lunch or dinner.

    I am from Greece and I live in Thessaloniki. I was so excited when I saw the traditional koulouri! The original version of koulouri is a little bit thinner and crispier. Another very common breakfast here are pies (like tyropita-cheese fyllo pie or spanakopita-spinach fyllo pie). However, the most common breakfast here in Thessaloniki is mpougatsa which is something like a puff pastry and can have so many filling options! You should try to make it! Good job guys!

      When times got really tough, we'd get leftover rice warmed up in fresh milk, with a little cinnamon and sugar for flavor. That was breakfast, and that was all you got for breakfast. Being poor sucks, but we never starved.
      In fact, we probably ate healthier then, because it was a lot of homemade and homegrown food. Because store bought break was more expensive than making your own. And growing a garden was basically "free" food (not really free, since you had to invest time and energy into it). But with careful planning and buying, supplemented with foraged, hunted, and/or grown food, you can actually eat pretty well.

    Really hope you'll feature tosilog and longsilog from the PH! Their names are portmanteaus of the different components in the dish; "silog" refers to "sinangag" (garlic fried rice) and "itlog" (fried egg). So "tosilog" is a dish served with fried rice, fried egg, and tocino (Filipino cured pork), while "longsilog" is served with the same elements but with longganisa (Filipino sausage). They're some of the most popular breakfasts in the country. Joshua Weissman featured a great recipe for both dishes in his channel, but you can easily find other excellent recipes on the web.

      That one was really hard because there's a lot of dishes around the Caribbean and America's that are very similar. Just like the bagels. Several countries have very similar versions around the Mediterranean.

      In Jamaica they have peas and rice, the "peas" being beans and the Southern States have red beans and rice with smokey sausage. These recipes were brought with the people and many places have similar dishes.

      There are a lot ways to customize this dish. To give u some general idea. Get the thick version of flattened rice, the thinner one is used for a dry dish called chiwda. Take less portion of flattened rice than what you think you can eat as it increases in size when soaked in water and cooked. Wash the rice like you would a normal rice bt I recommend just once because mushier poha is not that great to eat. Drain all that water and set the rice aside. Heat a pan and put a non flavour oil like vegetable or any other of our choice if you want the feel the presence of the flavour of that particular oil. For example, for 2 handful of poha take 1/2tbsp oil. Put 1 tsp mustard seeds and they should pop in the oil, put 5-6 curry leaves, 2 green chillies, a small finely chopped onion (can slice if you want to feel the crunch), cook the mixer till the onion gets translucent, if you have roasted peanuts put 10-12 seeds (can be either skipped in case of allergy or substituted with peas), my family also puts 1 boiled potato sometimes but that's not the norm, then put 1/2tsp turmeric powder, 1tsp sugar and salt to taste. Once stirred put the rice and just add a dash of water help coat the rice with the other stuff. Cook only till the rice feels hot to touch not much. Like for 4-5mins. Finish it off with a sneeze of lime wedge and some coriander/parsley. You can also garnish it with either freshly grated or roasted coconut or some crunchy flakes called sev. You can also make it healthier by putting some soaked sprouts or vegetables like carrot, capsicum, sweet corn but that's not the traditional way but more like a trendy approach. Nothing wrong with making it whatever things you have at your disposal. Its a hearty breakfast and can keep you full for a long time. In my hometown it is sometimes served with a tangy/spicy chickpea stew or a lentil stew called sambar. Try making it for a couple of times and gradually you'll just develop a recipe of your own the way you enjoy it the most.
