[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard the bacon and eggs thing came from marketing, although a full English has been around for a while so maybe it came from our English heritage. [b]What did George Washington eat for breakfast[/b]?

I think that pancakes and sweet desserts are common in European countries as well, and the main difference is volume and not interspersing those with healthier things.

Personally I hate eating those things for breakfast, except eggs and toast. I would much prefer leftovers from dinner from the night before. [/quote]

Hoecakes with butter & honey were Washington's favorite.

But a traditional breakfast of the time that was served at Mount Vernon was coffee, tea, and cold meats along with vegetables.

The Washingtons ate breakfast at 7am, dinner (lunch) at 3pm, and nothing for supper (dinner) other than tea.  Meals lasted at least an hour if not more, which is not typical for today at all.    [/quote]

Incorrect. The Washingtons entertained extremely frequently with elaborate dinners and drinks. What an odd post you made. GW was receiving guests on a near constant basis.[/quote]
