What is the origin of bacon and eggs for breakfast?

Answer 1

A cooked breakfast of this sort is a relatively modern invention, although this is disputed[2]; it developed in the houses of successful farmers or landowners during the late nineteenth century. For the more well-to-do, an array of breakfast dishes would be laid out buffet style in much the same way as hotels do today. Up until this period, fresh meat was generally considered a luxury except for the most affluent. The emergence of town grocers in the 1880s allowed people to exchange surplus eggs, etc., for other food items to diversify their diets. Only with the relative increase in the wealth of the general populace in the 20th century was the consumption of the full breakfast meal commonplace amongst the working classes.

E. Cobham Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, published in 1898, describes a full breakfast, calling it a Scotch breakfast.[3] He describes it as "a substantial breakfast of sundry sorts of good things to eat and drink." Set six years later in Dublin of 1904, the opening of Ulysses by James Joyce contains a famous breakfast scene in which Leopold Bloom prepares and eats a fried pork kidney with bread and tea.

The meal was popularized in the United States by Edward Bernays during the 1920s and 1930s. In order to promote sales of bacon, he conducted a survey of physicians and reported their recommendation that people eat hearty breakfasts. He sent the results of the survey to 5,000 physicians, along with publicity touting bacon and eggs as a hearty breakfast.

Where Did Bacon Originate

Answer 4

Breakfast is to break your fast. In the early days, when there were not supermarkets everywhere, the people would go to the chicken coop and gather the eggs, they are SO much better fresh, and then see what they had for the day. French Toast was really a way to use up stale bread, before the women made fresh that day. The meat was whatever was available. Smoked meats were all there was at times.
