It has been speculated that over half of the breakfast in the universe is dark breakfast.
By mass, sure - but have you considered delectability?

#122> IHOP omelettes include pancake batter.
Wait what? I've never heard of such a thing.
Does that make them better in any way? Or strictly worse, but cheaper?
Edit: looked it up and apparently they still use 3 eggs but the batter makes it super fluffy (like 2x) so the omelette looks enormous.

It’s a landmine for low carb gluten free people

Can be confirmed by the fact anytime I eat a diner breakfast I feel more full than can be justified by the weight of the food alone.

#126Someone else may have said this but strictly speaking breakfast is something like a cone in a vector space, unless you want to explain to me how to eat negative eggs.
There’s a guy in overalls in a Brooklyn bistro who used to scramble them but that was very late-summer 2025 and you’ll get funny looks for asking about them.

#127Surprised not to see “breakfast pasta” aka Carbonara. Wheat in the noodles, egg and cheese sauce.

#129If you add baking powder and butter, that dark breakfast recipe is very close to crepes. My crepe recipe - cook on medium heat pan: Blend on low: 4 eggs- 3/4 cup whole milk, 1/2 stick of melted butter, and 1/4cup to 1/2 cup plain flower, 1 heaped tbsp of baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, vanilla optional and to taste
Interesting, we could add in an 'arm' from the pancake local group, heading out from American pancakes, via traditional English pancakes (approx 1 cup of whole milk, 2 eggs, 3/4 cup of flour) to Crepes. I guess the only difficulty there is we English don't eat those for breakfast, and really only make them on one day of the year. Which I missed this year! Dammit, we're going to be having a belated pancake day here so…
As an Englishman that has been transplanted to another country, I find myself making them more in Germany than I ever made them back home.
But that's because my wife requests it.
It would never occur to me to up the egg ratio so high to reach into that void though. My wife manages to mess up the proportions every time though, so maybe we'll unwittingly explore that region one day.

There's a lot more dark breakfast in the winter time.
