What about country breakfast sausage? I love a good fried sausage patty. Goes better on a biscuit. Jimmy Dean still has the best flavor profile of all of them.

Now do beans in England.
That actually makes more sense considering beans are cheap and nutritious. Seems like something people would naturally choose to eat to start the day.

There's also the fact that bacon and eggs for breakfast are awesome.

I for one am very grateful for their foresight. I don't want to imagine a world where a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit doesn't exist.

I, for one, thank those great people for their brilliant idea.
God bless their descendants, and God bless America.

Hate to ruin it for you, but eggs and bacon seem to have been around in the 1800s too.

Are you telling me that chicken eggs existed before 1920?
Yeah right.

And they made a good choice.

Thank you for making my point, without home regfrigeration most folks without chicken couldn't keep eggs at home unless they had a local source. Commercially available eggs weren't a thing until refrigeration became a thing.
He didn’t make your point. He explained why your eggs need refrigeration after you replied to a previous post explaining that eggs don't naturally need refrigeration by stating that your eggs 'beg to differ.' Yours do because we strip the natural coating off here. That’s a U.S.-specific policy choice, not a biological necessity.
Eggs are sold unrefrigerated across most of the world, commercially, right now. That alone torpedoes your whole ‘no refrigeration, no eggs’ narrative.
So no, he didn’t prove your point. He disproved it. You just shifted the conversation and hoped nobody would notice.

If not, bacon would be hard to find, and it would have to be hidden…

I am a big fan of breakfast for dinner

Lucky us then because bacon is awesome.

What choices did they have if they relied on themselves for their food?
Both sets of my grandparents ate biscuits with sausage gravy, preserves, or butter. Also coffee, with milk for the kids. During the winter they often served oatmeal and toast
My parents went the quick route, cereals, pop tarts, sweet rolls or danishes
We only had eggs and bacon on weekends or vacation. Mostly because bacon was so messy

We'll push anything that makes money, I thought you would have known that already. But, you're welcome I guess?
Only about 40% of Jews in the US are Kosher.

What is the ideal temperature for farm fresh eggs? 40-50F
How long do eggs last down south when it’s hot and humid? Maybe a week
Turns out they’ve been refrigerating eggs since the mid-1800s
quote:
The first wave of egg refrigeration occurred after the mass rail transport system was developed in the mid-1800s. By the 1860s and 1870s, eggs were sold in New York from as far away as Minnesota and Mississippi, carried there by refrigerated rail cars. (Of course, these cars were packed with ice, rather than modern mechanical refrigeration equipment.) By the last decades of the 1800s, eggs even began crossing between continents on refrigerated steamships: Normandy's egg prices were driven down by cheap refrigerated egg shipments from the U.S., while California received regular egg shipments from China.
