Really?
In Trinidad I have never seen anyone do that unless that were eating left over's from lunch or dinner at breakfast ( which techincally is not a big deal as it does all go down the same way).
I would eat plantain for breakfast with eggs, sausage, avacodo ... bread). Sounds like I know what I will be having for breakfast on Saturday. How anyone willingly wakes up to make a heavy breakfast or can eat a big meal first thing in the morning amazing me. For maybe people in Canada and likely the USA I wake up, take a shower, get dressed, grab something and take it with me at eat once on the train or at my office.
My husband is not Canadian and wakes up 1 hour earlier to make a hot breakfast every morning for me that just sounds like too much effort.
We eat more like the American style. Sandwiches, corn flakes, milk, tea, coffee, OJ, or Panamanian tortillas, fried bread, empanadas, carimañolas (nothing like Central American's ones), our cuisine is different from the rest of CA, way different. It is more Caribbean oriented.

My only opinion about food in Panama was based on the food at the resort. I think you said the resort way run by a Colombian company ( Royal De Cameron I think). Regardless I don't think these types of places do such a great job provide "authentic local food" as they try to cater to things they think tourist might like too.
I know when I go to to these resort they never makes eggs good. Never NEVER any flavour to their eggs and they always leave then running. The tasteless yellow slug. Yuck.

Exactly, it is run by a Colombian company and yes, they do not provide authentic local food.
Dumb Question : In central American countries, Tortillas are Corn or Wheat ??? Like we get in the US Mission Tortillas with fine wheat flour? Which version is more common?
Some Colombian places in New York decide to sell carimanolas, I guess they exist in some parts of Colombia too?
Carimañolas are only found in the Caribbean region, as I'm descended from Paisas neither I or my parents had ever heard of the food until my holidays in and around Cartagena in my early 20's. I remember being in Palenque for the drum festival, they were out of empanadas so the lady offered me a carimañola - I had no idea what it was.
They are indeed made from a yucca encasing stuffed with meat or cheese, I once had a delicious crab filled one. However, most people outside the caribbean region of Colombia to this day do not know what they are.
Yeah most bakeries typically don't sell them :/ would be great to travel to Colombia and see what the food is like there, I know living overseas sometimes you get the bootleg version of the cuisine

To be fair its nice but nothing to write home about. The only redeeming factors are that each region has a signature dish which fills out the portfolio and the produce is if not fully organic, semi-organic at least.
Considering the amount and variety of quality produce that can be grown in Colombia, the cuisine is rather lacklustre compared to the real potential.
