What's For Breakfast? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Cold cereal

I'm getting down the box of cold cereal to put in the bowl, and then we put on a little sugar and some strawberries or blueberries and finish it off with milk. Cereals are made from many types of grain and grain is part of a healthy diet.

Answer: Bacon and eggs

Bacon is usually packaged in long narrow strips. We can use the bacon grease to fry our eggs. If you turn them over once while they're cooking and the yellow part - the yoke - is still runny, the egg is called 'over easy'.

Answer: Toaster pastry

We're having Pop Tarts for breakfast. Because they have a lot of sugar in them, you really shouldn't eat too many or too often but once in a while is okay. They're very popular; they've been around since 1963.

Answer: French toast

French toast is good with syrup or bananas or berries or all those things. French toast is known throughout the world but each country has their own special way of preparing it. Some places coat the bread in crumbs before cooking, some places add cinnamon and other spices to the egg mixture before frying, and still other countries use different types of bread to make French toast.

Answer: Cream of wheat or oatmeal

As the name implies, oatmeal is made from oats and cream of wheat is made from wheat. Oats and wheat are grains and are good for everyone to eat. For adults, they can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. They are especially good when served warm on a cold day.

Some people like to eat them just as they come off the stove, others pour milk on them; add a touch of sugar or brown sugar or syrup.

Answer: Sausage and egg sandwich

A sausage and egg sandwich is actually a pretty balanced meal. You have grains in bread, dairy if you'd like a slice of cheese over it all, and sausage and eggs in the meat category. That's right, the government department that studies foods and nutrition has put eggs in the same category as meat because of the high amount of protein in them. Humans have been eating the eggs birds lay for thousands of years.

Answer: Pancakes or waffles

Little round circles of browned goodness equals pancakes for breakfast. If you pour the flour and egg and milk mixture onto a waffle iron and close the lid, in just a few minutes, you'll have a lovely golden brown waffle with little hills and valleys that are just made to catch and hold the warm maple syrup.

Answer: Omelets

We're having omelets (or omelettes) for breakfast. Yummy! It seems there are as many types of omelets as there are places where they are eaten. And while we're talking about choices and eggs, how many ways can you name to fix eggs? Here's a few I thought of: coddled, fried over easy, fried over hard, fried sunny side up, poached, scrambled, basted, shirred, hard-boiled, and soft-boiled.

Answer: Biscuits and gravy

Chipped beef and ground beef (sometimes called SOS), ham (called red-eye), bacon, roast pork or roast beef, chicken or turkey, giblets (neck gizzard, liver, heart) are all examples of gravies. Many people have had gravy on mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner but if you put gravy over biscuits and serve it all with some hash browns, you've made a delicious breakfast.

Answer: Eggs benedict

The word brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch and is usually served between and instead of those two meals. There is a dispute about who really 'invented' eggs benedict but someone thought up a wonderful and delicious way to dress up a plate for a fancy luncheon or brunch.

The eggs will be drenched in hollandaise sauce and may be served with fresh blanched asparagus or fried potatoes of some sort or fresh fruit.
