My usual breakfast is a bowl of Walmart (cheap) bran flakes with unsweetened almond milk and strawberries sweetened with Truvia. However, when I go on my quarterly vacation jaunts with my Canadian Travel Buddy Pat, I try something different for breakfast.
I grew up eating greasy spoon breakfasts of fried eggs, home fries, sausage, and scrapple with buttered toast and jam. On weekends my Mother would make bacon grease gravy to smother homemade southern biscuits. Thus, when I'm on 'holiday', I indulge in a greasy spoon restaurants.
When in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada last month, Pat took me to the John Street diner. Oh my! For $4.99 (Canadian dollar yet) I got a breakfast of two fried eggs, sausage, home fries and toast.

Yum! Of course I couldn't eat like this every day but I am on holiday. Not only was the breakfast good but it was cheap and brought back fond memories of growing up in the Fifties when the whole family sat down together for a breakfast. Those days are long gone aren't they folks?
