Lets see, when was the last major migration of immigrants from the US to the UK....Um NEVER. So who would have brought these breakfast traditions from the US to the UK....Umm NOBODY.

As others have said, we have our own traditional breakfast foods such as kedgeree, kippers or the ubiquitous 'full english' all of which are utterly delicious. We also tend to prefer the more traditional lemon and sugar on our pancakes, though personally I'm also rather fond of maple syrup on pancakes, just not for breakfast! As for eggs benedict, we tend to put hollandaise sauce on fish for dinner, rather than on eggs for breakfast!

American breakfasts are amalgams of the cultures of the people that moved here from the other countries.
I live in Nashville, TN and I've seen everything from eggs& bacon to true danishes (real European style) to Greeks eating Koluria and Greek Coffee. It has morphed into a diner food setting because of the blending of ethnicities. You can find vegemite to bangers & mash here if you look hard enough. there really isn't one popular USA breakfast really, unless you count Corn Flakes (Which isn't food.....it's food for food)

Honestly, I haven't heard of this parenting style until coming on here. But it's a little bothersome. My parents didn't exactly do this, but I'm the oldest and my little sister sort of sneaked in when I was 12. It kind of shocked me to see how my parents treated her. She was not potty-trained until she was four, no matter what they said or did. She slept with them until she was ten! But with them it wasn't "We're letting her do what she wants and decide when she stops". Their excuse was "We're so much older than when we had you and the other two." I just don't find it smart, and it really seems more like lazy parenting than really parenting. And your child should never determine how you parent. You're the parent, not the other way round.

i think you may be mistaken most Americans eat cereal the same as us for breakfast! and here again a cross section of society eat pancakes or what we would call scotch pancakes for breakfast in the same way some of us eat croissants! its just a difference in taste and culture nothing major but Americans do like some weird stuff lol!!!!

It usually takes a long time for customs/food/fashion, etc. to travel to other countries. The UK is across the ocean from the U.S, and so either some foods still haven't traveled there and gotten picked up by citizens, or the british just aren't interested in the states' foods as they have plenty of their own.

I, for one, prefer breakfast for breakfast, there's nothing to beat egg, bacon, tomato and wholemeal toast to start the day.
The foods you mention are desserts, sweets or puddings aren't they?

Because you cannot beat a good English breakfast.

Nothing beats a proper English fry-up.
