Nah, I prefer frankfurters :o

I wake up screaming at the nightmare notion of a Thai Toad-in-the-Hole, made with these things they call sos-ijis.

Really?.....Whats baseball?  :D

Strange version of Rounders played by those lacking sufficient couth to play cricket.

The "boiled pink hot dog" is not a breakfast food in the US.  It is traditionally eaten on a hot dog bun and the most traditional thing is to eat them at baseball games or on the fourth of july.....but not for breakfast.

Americans are so rigid about which foods are for breakfast, and which are not! It's a completely artificial and arbitrary designation, but so culturally ingrained that I can't imagine that anyone who spent very long in the US would not know how it works. Even more curiously, it's fine to have "breakfast for supper" occasionally, like pancakes and sausage, but it's never okay to have supper for breakfast. I had a good laugh about that with a Thai friend who had lived in Canada for a while.

Me, I like fried rice for breakfast, made with garlic, onion, and an egg.

But addressing the query of the OP, I think maybe learning to make oatmeal would be good. Oatmeal is a good high protein breakfast that sticks with you on cold days, and the poor Thai lady will definitely find it cold in the UK. And maybe her farang likes oatmeal.

If she wants to brighten up a dull morning, she can slice some banana or strawberry into his morning cereal. It tastes great, adds vitamins and minerals, and is hard to screw up.

I can recommend the number 2 breakfast at the FC in Surin... :o

Taoism: shit happens

Buddhism: if shit happens, it isn't really shit

Islam: if shit happens, it is the will of Allah

Catholicism: if shit happens, you deserve it

Judaism: why does this shit always happen to us?

Atheism: I don't believe this shit

Not only Americans, it took me some time to get over what is breakfast food and what isnt. Even today I prefer toast and tea to fried rice or rice soup (which I dont particularly enjoy anyway).
