I’m currently in the US staying with my girlfriend (we’re in a long-distance relationship) and her family. Been here for a month, have 2 more to go. Where I’m from (Romania) “breakfast foods” are not a thing. Breakfast is a full, proper meal just like lunch and dinner. Since being here, I haven’t been able to get accustomed to the concept of “breakfast foods”. Cereal, pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs, toast, sandwiches, etc. These are like side dishes or snacks to me. I just don’t feel sated. Gave up on that. Now I’m back to eating what I normally do for breakfast: steak, pasta, rice, soup, stew, chicken, fish/seafood, etc.
You need to try something crazy like trix cereal while you’re here. Any other country that would be a small bowl for desert. Here kids get a big bowl with nothing else for breakfast. Or ask them to take you to IHOP and see pancakes covered with whipped cream, cherries, chocolate and caramel sauce and unironically served for breakfast
