I'm about 10 miles from a Waffle Haus...
 
Sigh.
 
1) Waffles. More butter than syrup.
2) Probably bacon...
3) Kinda crispy, not burnt.
4) Eggs? Omelet with pepper cheese and sausage. I'm cheating!
5) Hold the gravy, gimme a slice of sausage per biscuit.
6) Butter and salt on the grits.
7) Salt and pepper on the hash browns. Not a fan of the whole scattered, smothered, etc...

The best toast is pan-fried toast. When I am well-behaved, the wife makes fried toast as part of a full(ish) English breakfast (no tomatoes, shrooms, or black pudding).

There have been a couple of comments about biscuits being easily cut with a fork. I'm not sure what that's in response to.

I sometimes cut the biscuits as I eat, but I very often tear them into small pieces beforehand. That way, the gravy soaks into the biscuits. Gotta add some red and black pepper flakes, maybe some hot sauce.

You forgot the hash browns.

Nope, just not curious about that. Well-executed hash browns are phenomenal, of course. I sometimes mix those into my scrambled eggs or b&g.

Oh, forgot the potato answer...

I'll eat either, but I greatly prefer large chunk home fries with lots of onion.

Pancakes, preferably blueberry;
Links, bacon, and patties in that order;
Crispy;
Don't know what "shirred" means but fried (over easy), scrambled next (both with cheese melted on top), poached, and hard-boiled, in that order;
No biscuits OR gravy;
No answer worth giving.

I didn't discover biscuits and gravy until I married a Sothren girl. She makes really good ones.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

My mother still makes good biscuits.  I can make decent biscuits when I take the time.  However, I mostly just butter them.  Taste wonderful when they are hot with melted butter soaked in.  Makes a great snack later.  I can't remember if I have ever had biscuits and gravy.  I think I would like it.  I need to remember next time I eat breakfast at a non-fast food place.

You would remember if you had.  At least if you had good Biscuits and Gravy.

All this talk about breakfast got me thinking about breakfast for dinner last night.

I had a russet baking potato that had gone green on the counter, so I didn't want to bake it.

I peeled it, shredded it medium, soaked and rinsed it to get rid of the starch, ran it through the salad spinner to dry it, and mixed it with some egg, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Then into a hot pan, cooked for about 5 minutes on each side, then onto a plate.

On top of that went a couple of slices of ham and some scrambled egg beaters.

Pretty darned good dinner.

That looks like raw eggs and cream of some kind.  No thanks.  I get upset when the scrambled eggs are underdone.

They're baked. Shired eggs are supposed to be more custard like.

They're typically softer than poached eggs, so if you don't like poached eggs you're not going to like shired eggs.

Breakfast meat posts torture me!

I can't eat mammalian meats but poultry is fine.

Something I really miss is bacon. Have any of you discovered a "fake" bacon that works at least ok?

Unfortunately, not really.

I've had some turkey bacon that has a good flavor, but the texture is always weird.

Supposedly duck bacon is pretty good because it more closely matches the fat/protein content of pork bacon, but holy *expletive deleted*it is it expensive...

Pigs have been genetically modified for human organ transplants.  I think mainly that entailed turning off expression of α-galactose.  Someone is missing out on an opportunity to (after harvesting the hearts, kidneys, etc) to turn the rest of the meat into alpha-gal free bacon and sausage.  :yum:

Monkey bacon would work.  Or apes.  (I will leave the logical conclusion just implied instead of saying it outloud)

1:  If I'm cooking, pancakes because I don't have a waffle iron.

 2: No question, bacon.

3: Perfectly in between.

4: Scrambled, not runny.

5: I didn't think I was that much of an oddball, but I tear them to bits like a caveman, then gravy on top.

6: None for me, thanks.

I was all set to make biscuits and gravy this morning, but the wife used up all the milk, did not replace it, and did not tell me about it.  Hmph.

I keep a Costco case of evaporated milk around for "out of milk" baking/cooking emergencies. And not just emergencies. I use it with my Sunday morning German pancakes, and to me, it makes better pancakes than regular milk does.

I also keep powdered milk - one sack in the pantry, and I think I have around 10lbs in Mylar in the emergency supply closet.
