I can remember fried-Spam sandwiches as a kid.

In some book about WWII I read long ago, I saw a cartoon of battered Japanese soldiers--having been blasted out of their cave, tunnel, or foxhole, surrendering "on condition we not be served honorable delicacy Spam."

The McDonalds in Hawaii have SPAM on the menu, seriously.  This is because Hawaiians ate a lot of SPAM during WW Two and it became a local favorite/tradition. 

A buddy use to grill spamburgers,not to bad all the fat rendered out of them.Had Fresh tomato and Cukes to balance the salt.I'd have it again

some folks prefer tomato juice in their beer in the morning, some don't.  Some like tomato juice in their beer all day.  Bloody Mary's in the evening?  That's fine for some, most prefer them in the morning.
So you're saying beer is not just for breafast anymore?I've always suspected such

Afro is correct.  Folks should eat whatever they prefer whatever time of the day

it's just that most folks, seemingly the vast majority, perfer eggs in the early part of the day.  Perhaps they've been brainwashed, but probably not by marketing and lobbying efforts.

Europe is very different on breakfast then we are here. Everywhere you go, you can see signs outside for "American Breakfast". They don't eat like that over there.

A "typical" French breakfast is a croissant and espresso, perhaps with cheese (or not).  They also do a "tartine" I think it's called which is a sliced bagget with butter and jelly.

If you stay at a hotel and have breakfast there, it's usually buffet style and they will have eggs, usually, hard boiled, maybe poached.    If you stay at a Hilton it will of course cater to American tastes.

They don't have an egg lobby there, so the folks don't know any better.

The notion we eat eggs because of lobbyists gives me a chuckle.  In Vietnam, they even eat thousand year old eggs.

I just made my wife a Frittata for a late lunch today.  I thought about it early in the morning.

they don't subscribe to the notion that breakfast is the most important meal of the day?

and they prefer cheese as the protein as opposed to bacon, sausage, or eggs?

They have a bread and cheese lobby, instead of an egg lobby.

You must never wonder why eggs are so cheap, just enjoy the fact that they are, right?

It's just that larger groups weigh in with McDonalds and others.  Does the egg lobby own or buy McDonalds to promote egg mcMuffins in the morning?  Why not serve eggs at McDonalds all day?  Becase it's not popular with the masses.

Perkins will server eggs all day and night.  Good for them.  They are filling a need for the smaller group.  Perhaps the egg lobby pays Perkins abd Denny's more than McDonalds?
Actually, McDonalds started serving breakfast all day a couple of years ago.  Because only having "breakfast items" available until 10:30am is stupid.
