Breakfast Time

1. I love breakfast. I wrote this round while eating breakfast. More importantly my favorite breakfast meal ever is biscuits and sausage gravy. We owe this dish to the English settlers in Jamestown because they ate simpler meals. Here’s an etymology question for you though. What two things does biscuit refer to in the UK?

Biscuits (hard like ours) and cookies  

Cookies! - Ninja Sex Party

2. Breakfast meats are a highly contentious topic with me, but if done right, I take sausage over bacon all day. It’s weird but it’s the subject of our next question. Traditionally, what is the mixture of meats that comprise sausages stuffed into? It’s actually a genius way to both preserve these foods while making the most of the animal.

The intestines

Testify - Rage Against the Machine

3. So Belgian waffles, or the ones we imagine, are a gross Americanization of the ones originally from Belgium. There are two types of waffles that hail from this country. The lesser known one is the Liege waffle, with the other having a more geographically focused name that serves as the inspiration for our American version. What is its name?

The Brussels Waffle

23 Minutes in Brussels - Luna

4. So here’s my question to all you bacon lovers out there. Within the United States, where does our bacon come from? It’s a different cut due to the presence of more fat and less meat.
