turkey is not a breakfast meat
In your opinion, what is the country with the best breakfast cuisine?

- Start date
In Turkey, most popular meats are lamb and beef
The country has been called Türkiye for over 100 years and since 2021 Türkiye has been the official name in English.
The turkey is a misnamed bird. The original fowl that was brought from northern Africa to what we called back then Turkey wasn't the same species of bird we now call turkey. North American turkeys got their name from the settlers who thought those large native game birds looked like what they knew as turkeys from Europe which had been introduced via back-then Turkey. Eventually the North American turkeys made it across both ponds and I don't think we any longer know what species the was the original "turkey" from North Africa. Most likely it was some kind of Guineafowl which look like a cross between a plump fowl and a vulture. I have had Guineafowl. It's an alright gamebird. I was pheasantly surprised by its toothsomeness.

I happen to be half Turkish and speak the language! Also I lived there for 7 years.
Congratulations. Have you met Engin Terzi?
of course, no pig=incorrect breakfast
The scientifically proven best is eggs, and bacon or sausage
Ground turkey is not meat at all.
I sure was loading up on smoked wild sockeye salmon in Dubai on breakfasts, I guess it's personal what people eat for their meals.
I was the only one eating it there too

My Canadian buddy always says 6 pancakes, half a pint of maple syrup, 12 breakfast links, and 6 eggs is ideal. But he's special.
agreed fake meat
pancakes are acceptable
Yeah, if you are going to do hard physical labor for a few hours.
I really enjoyed French Toast at Taj in Mumbai, they actually come around and ask you if they can make you anything as well, food was great, service was the best I ever experienced at any hotel. Couldn't eat too much meat in that +44C (+112F) weather thou (hotel did have AC).
Having been to half the worlds countries in my travels, I've come to believe that many countries just don't do breakfast right. 5 star hotels do, but that is not the norm. Europe, NOPE, despite having far better food than we do, breakfast is not their strength unless you want coffee with yesterday's pastry that has a touch of powdered sugar on top, ugh.
A common Thai breakfast is a rice boil or it's cousin, rice porridge with onions, maybe shrimp, egg and chicken! Ugh. Actually tastes OK, but not my idea of the worlds best breakfast. BUT, the best breakfast I've ever had anywhere was at the Hotel Shangri La in Bangkok, Thailand. Some form of Oat cereal bowl with a touch of coconut, fresh fruits/berries and the best tasting milk I've ever known. It truly came down from heaven above.
In the end, the USA does breakfast right and one does not have to look far for phenomenal hot pancakes with salted Irish butter, center cut bacon and real Vermont maple syrup. OMG!

Congee - now that is breakfast, with a three day boiled dead mushroom.
Yuck!
Yuck!
That's a Cujet-centric view.
Who eats hotel food unless he stays at a top hotel? That said the Frankfurter Hof in Frankfurt, the Sans Souci in Vienna, and the Storchen in Zurich have incredible breakfast buffets that include all the deleterious garbage foods many people crave. Hotels are for business travels. That's what expense accounts are for.
When I travel privately in Europe and Scandinavia I mostly stay at a bed&breakfast, Pension, Gasthaus rom, etc. With this type of lodging I get something that is close to home cooking, usually the breakfast is included, and sometimes dinner. My favorite places are in the countryside and they are not expensive.
I don't know where you ate breakfast. Seriously. You can always get what's considered breakfast staples here. Things like egg dishes, pancakes, bacon, sausage,ham, fried potatoes, toast, jam, plus coldcuts and cheese. Cereals, cold and cooked are also common throughout Europe. I have found decent food wheverver I have gone. While a traditional Japanese breakfast is not to my liking - I can do the fish but I won't do considerable quantities of rice but they have egg dishes. At the bigger hotels you can have a Western style breakfast. When in Costa Rica, at least two or three times a year, I get ceviche and a freshly cut-open coconut from a truck by the beach. That's actually my favorite but if I had it all the time I'd tire of it.
