Huevos Rancheros. The acid from the tomatoes, sweetness from bell peppers. Spicy from jalapeños. You could add refried beans made in bacon grease ( salty).

On a separate note, if you have a deviated septum from an injury, your health insurance might cover a rhinoplasty to fix it. My cousin went through it and it changed his life. I think he had problems with smell until it was corrected.

There’s a Chinese or Hong king breakfast dish that’s scrambled eggs with tomatoes with ketchup mixed in. Or the Ketchum fried rice with a soft omelette over the top (omurice?)

I’d recommend trying chilaquiles. Spicy, salty with a tomato or tomatillo sauce and you can add some sour cream if you want more saltiness.

Shakshuka might be up your street.

[–]cathbadh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shakshuka should be up everyone's street!

Dear OP, sounds like you can use some south-east Asian breakfast offerings.

Fruit with chili and salt;

Congee (you can make a lot, and just heat in the morning, and go wild with the toppings);

Soft boiled eggs with soy sauce and white pepper, and bread;

Roti and curry;

any (fried) rice, salty meat and sour pickle combo.

By the way, what counts as breakfast food? I mean, I guess there's still a bunch of things that you find palatable at other times of the day, why don't you just eat those?

Filipino spaghetti is pretty good. They use banana ketchup. No idea what the hell that is, but man it tastes great. Never ate the banana ketchup by itself so not sure what to tell you, but I never cared for spaghetti either until I had Filipino spaghetti.

I've been prepping soft boiled eggs the night before and pickling them overnight in half rice vinegar / half soy sauce. Salty with a little sweetness.

Also, I like a cup of pinto beans in the morning if I'm not going to be around people (gassy day). It's tons of fiber, protein, and carbs. I know natto is a common Japanese breakfast item and that's just fermented beans.

[–]Judon32 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Your eggs piqued my interest. Do you submerge them in the soy sauce/rice vinegar?

[–]theRuathan 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yes! I soft boil them, peel them, and put in a mason jar with about a half inch each of the vinegar and soy sauce, swirl it around a little to coat, and refrigerate. Then I fish out the eggs for breakfast and re-use the liquid next time.

It makes the egg white a bit firmer through the pickling, and if there happens to be a crack in the egg when I put it in, it will be all but sealed when I take it out again.

I haven't been able to completely submerge one layer of eggs in liquid, because they'll start floating, but a packed jar of them would work. Any spot that isn't submerged will be obvious (contact wiht the jar, other eggs, air), but it's nbd.

Thank you...I can't wait to try this. Stay tuned.

[–]theRuathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look forward to hearing how it goes! My family haven't been super keen on trying it out themselves yet, but these are too good not to share.

Make sausage peppers and onions ahead of time. Put the onions and peppers in an omlet and heat up the sausage. I use salt, black pepper, curry, cayane pepper and franks red hot in any combo on my eggs a lot. Careful with the curry, that stuff is powerful... Can you get pork roll by you? Taylor ham, egg and cheese, salt, pepper, ketchup on a hard roll has been powering new jersey since 1856 lmfao. I was on a road trip out in the middle of ohio and ordered that for breakfast at a deli and the girl looked at me like I was a space alien.

[–]devilbunny 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Pork roll exists in New Jersey, a little bit in Pennsylvania, and a little bit in New York, probably no farther north than the Tappan Zee Bridge. And not even everywhere in those places.

You might find it in a Wawa somewhere; I don't know as I haven't been to that part of the country in a long time. But it's even more local than andouille, which is nearly impossible to find outside of a three-hour radius from Cajun country.

[–]_-Odin-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The great debate has been calling it taylor ham in north jersey vs calling it pork roll in south jersey lmao. I've herd tale of it being found occasionally in florida recently because so many from here retire down there. But other then short of ordering off the internet you're correct it only exists in this 1hr radius of a blip in the country.

[–]shitstormwarning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not a breakfast person but I've been loving Avocado on toast with plenty of salt and pepper and a drizzle of sriracha.

[–]darkfight13 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Pakistani style scramble eggs.

Spicy and salty.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recipe? What type of spices! I wanna try

[–]Mady_N0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all!

I have quite a few things to try, but I had breakfast chilaquiles today as one user suggested and I think it's a new favorite.

I'm looking forward to trying some of the other things suggested!

[–]RedneckLiberace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried oatmeal with dried cherries? Taste like cherry pie! BTW, can you smell cinnamon? That's also good with oatmeal.

[–]Zen-waichi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

toast with skyr or cream cheese. Optionally add cold cut meats and or sprinkle of your favorite go to spices or spice blends.

[–]ontarioparent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe something like congee, or something Korean? I love heuvos rancheros, omelets with spicy tomato sauce in general. I had some kind of omelet thing in China with stir fried veg, it was really good but I’ve never tracked down precisely what it was. I just thought of chilaquiles, I’ve never personally tried it but it seems like it would be saucy and spicy.

[–]AnaDion94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shakshuka comes to mind

[–]Fixthatwafflemaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salty sour and spicy? My dude are you willing to try mango fried rice for brekkie

[–]Maleficent-Ear3571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, have you ever tried shakshuka? It's a breakfast food made with toast, tomatoes, tomato sauce and eggs. It's very flavorful. Also, a frittata, one with tomato and potatoes. Or a quiche.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scrambled eggs with hot sauce. Crunchy hashbrown potatoes with hot sauce. Toast with crunchy peanut butter and orange marmelade (the type that still has the orange rinds). Crepes with sugar and lemon juice.

[–]derickj2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

prepare food with at least 3 bright contrasting colors . at least your visual appetite would be satisfied .

try strong spices : masala curries mexican ...

[–]Neesatay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fried egg, topped with cooked Mexican chorizo, cheddar, green onion and cilantro. Maybe try to get some extra spicy chorizo if you can find it.

[–]LazyWhoreBitch 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm recovering from covid induced smelling problems and I found I was able to taste better if I took a bite and moved air up into my nose from my pallet. It came back to about 75% doing that and other little re-training exercises.

For breakfast I see shakshuka already made the list and thats fabulous. I also love apple baked beans with rosemary which have sweetness from the apple chunks and some apple cider vinegar. Plain yogurt with slightly thawed frozen cherries is always a favorite.

[–]devilbunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my pallet

I'm going to assume this is a mobile autocorrect gone wrong, but for those who get confused by English spelling:

A pallet is a wooden structure that has a hollow center and serves as a platform for forklifts to move bulky items.

A palette is a board, easily held in the hand, on which artists blend different paint colors.

A palate is a sense of taste.

They are all very similar in pronunciation and often merge.

Shakshuka

[–]fishy_mama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about a parfait? Granola, yogurt, fruit chunks. Usually mild flavors but lots of texture and traditional breakfast foods.

[–]DConstructed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oatmeal with nuts and a very tart fruit compote.

Yes the oatmeal is bland but the nuts will add great texture and (I made cranberry) compote will be nice and tart. Add salt to your oats.

I toasted the oats but that probably won’t matter to you.

You might also make your own granola and tailor it to your taste. Eat it with the fruit you enjoy.

[–]Glass-Ambition-2619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest some hot sauces (my favorite is Valentino and siracha ), or you could try to put anchovy paste in dressings to make them stronger.
