Extended information:

American breakfast contains the following three meanings:

First, western-style breakfast in star-rated hotels is generally divided into "continental breakfast" and "American breakfast". The American breakfast here has its fixed items, and the breakfast content varies from hotel to hotel because of different stars and grades, but in general it is similar;

second, the traditional breakfasts in various parts of the United States, which may only be popular in some parts of the United States;

thirdly, the breakfast provided by American residents' community restaurants.

American traditional breakfast:

The United States is an immigrant country, so American breakfast brings together breakfast contents from Britain and continental Europe, and the items are complicated.

For example, there are boiled oatmeal, sausages, potato cakes, biscuits, bread slices, soft cakes, waffles, doughnuts, French fried bread slices, English muffins, croissants and Danish buns. Coffee, milk, tea and juice are generally necessary.

In recent ten years, cold cereal, that is, pre-cooked puffed cereal, including rice flower, shredded wheat, whole wheat, corn flakes, oatmeal, etc., with milk or yogurt, has become very common. American steaks and egg burgers are rare in Europe, and are generally only sold in American fast food restaurants.

In some areas, there are country-style gravy, corn soup, tacos, corn patties, pork rolls and fish steaks for breakfast, which are related to the population source in the area. These breakfasts are not popular in other parts of the United States.
