American breakfast: When I lived in my parents-in-law's house in America, we would wake up every day to see my mother-in-law working in the kitchen, which faces the living room.

She chatted with us while cooking breakfast. We sat at a neatly arranged table and ate the typical American breakfast I often saw in movies: eggs, bacon, toast and butter.

Everyone puts food on his plate and eats it with a knife and fork, except bread.

The food looks like this: we just sit and eat.

Breakfast in Egypt: When I was young in Egypt, my mother and our girls would cook in the kitchen, because our kitchen was close to the living room, and then put the food on a low table.

Everyone has no plates, knives and forks. On the contrary, there is always a pile of Egyptian bread, and everyone starts with a piece of bread.

We all sat around the table and began to scoop food from the big plate in front of us and use small pieces of bread, just like this: after moving to Kuwait, we no longer had such a short table, so we began to eat at an ordinary table, but our habits remained the same.

As for food, there are almost always: some form of eggs. Salad sandwich.

Common side dishes are: fried eggplant with garlic vinegar.

Mashed cheese and tomatoes (very delicious).

Sometimes we will add this distinguished guest: this is a thick and heavy cake called "feteer meshaltet". As you can see above, we often dip it in honey, white cheese, sugar cane honey or Mish (fermented Egyptian cheese).

Some typical Egyptian breakfasts include the dishes I mentioned above: I know very well that Americans generally don't eat these things every day, and Egyptians don't cook them every day.

I'm talking more about the typical breakfast in both countries. When we go all out, it's all based on what I eat in American restaurants and the house I live in.
