United Kingdom
Although talking point ‘Blackberry-777’ says that ‘full English’ with ‘bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, buttered toast, sausages and black pudding’ is its favourite, the UK didn’t fare as well with others.
Reddit users have been sharing the countries they think have the best breakfast in the world. Full UK English is a winning breakfast for one Reddit user
‘Losdelacosta’ says the answer is ‘Not England’, while another user claims that the American version of the English breakfast is ‘better in every way’.
‘Tlc0330’ disagrees, pointing out that you’ll find the best version of a British breakfast in Scotland on the NC500 road trip route.
They explain: “The full Scottish breakfast (full English with haggis) served to us every morning was delicious.”
Mexico
Mexico has the right breakfast to get you up and out, according to several Reddit users.
A deleted user writes that he has a “predilection” for the country’s chilaquiles when the sun rises. The dish is made with fried corn tortillas, topped with cheese and condiments.
Mexico’s ‘chilaquiles’ (pictured above) are an ‘amazing’ way to start the day for several Reddit users
‘JadeBlueAfterburn’ reveals: ‘I was on vacation in Cancun last year. I easily gained 17lbs/7kg because I ate chilaquiles for breakfast every damn morning. “It was amazing and I would totally do it again.”
Meanwhile, ‘JohnDoee94’ says: ‘I could eat chilaquiles every morning. I judge food at a Mexican restaurant by how good the chilaquiles are. If you can pull it off, I can trust the rest of the menu!’
Lebanon
The morning forage of hummus and Lebanese yogurt pleases two of the participants.
‘Lmautochillen’ says: ‘The Lebanese breakfast is fantastic. Labneh (strained yogurt), foul (lemon beans and herbs), hummus, manakish (flavored flatbread) with zaatar (a spice mix that includes herbs, sesame seeds and salt) or white thyme. Simply the best to start the day.’
‘ ShirtyDot’ adds that three of their ‘best meals’ were enjoyed in Beirut, the Lebanese capital.
Canada and the United States
The American breakfast of pancakes with maple syrup and bacon can’t be beat, according to a Reddit user.
Canadian breakfast is, in terms of syrup, the best for user ‘Etgohomeok’, who says: ‘You can tear my pancakes and sausages with maple syrup from my cold, dead Canadian hands.’

“I’ve been living abroad and there is no place like the American restaurant, especially the endless cups of coffee.”

Turkey
The Turkish breakfast is “without a doubt” the best, in the opinion of user “Whatchymacaller.”
‘Retrooo’ explains: “It is a wide variety of different breads, cakes, pastries, cheeses, spreads, jams, yogurts, sausages, olives, eggs in different preparations, fruits and salads with coffee or tea.”
And it is also a benefit for those who do not eat meat. ‘English_major’ adds: “I’m a vegetarian and Turks make the best vegetarian breakfast in the world: egg, bread, tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese and bread.”
Singapore
Singapore’s kaya toast breakfast (pictured above) is “one of the best breakfasts,” according to one user.

It is usually served in a ‘kopitiam’, a type of casual cafe popular in Singapore.

For ‘DllmonL79’, it’s also an aesthetically pleasing way to start the day. And they add: ‘I also love a careful presentation. Small plates of pickles, condiments, eggs, a miso dish, seasonal grilled fish, and a rice dish, plus some sliced fruit, all on one tray.
