The great majority of breakfast meats are salt-cured meats, and pork seems to be the meat that is most usually processed that way. Nearly all breakfast menus will offer your choice of ham, bacon or sausage, all of them cured pork products. Except for steak n' eggs at a truck stop, beef is rarely included on a breakfast menu, either.
Mexican restaurants sometimes serve barbacoa for breakfast, but it's usually just around the weekends.
i am funny in that i crave savory foods for breakfast. i sometimes like breakfast foods, but to be honest i would prefer some type of protien, almost like having lunch at breakfast.
love chicken turkey or fish in the morning.
Me too, something savory which is why I often like to have dinner leftovers for breakfast.

True, that is a good cold breakfast.

I had steak and spaghetti for breakfast at an IHOP in Jackson, Miss one time. You should have seen the looks I got.
machacado is great, it does not have the greasiness that barbacoa does, I miss living in S Texas since it was easy to get both of these, not so easy on the east coast
+ 1 on the cold fried chicken.
What about chicken soup?
I always thought (chicken) soup was good breakfast food; soothing, nourishing.
True story coming up! One day a nice woman came to my front door doing a survey on canned soup. She made it plain that it called for either yes or no for an answer. So she went through the questions. She established very early that I bought several cans of Chicken Noodle Soup every week, but none of her questions gave her a clue as to when I ate or used any of it. At last, she just gave up and asked,"Just when do you use this soup?"
You guessed it. None, not a single one, of the yes/no questions asked a single thing about Chicken Noodle soup for breakfast.
Does anyone know the reason that poultry is not normally served at breakfast?
I assume there is a good reason. What is it?
Because (are you ready for this....) it would be a Party Fowl
As to JTur's response about the saltiness and salt-cured meats, I suspect this is probably the closest to truth. My guess is that if you go back far enough, people who worked in the fields and the factories (who actually sweated and WORKED for a living) ate a meal high in sodium because they actually needed it.
A meal like Bacon and eggs prepared one for the day, with a good concentration of fat, protein and salt. That's my guess.
