Mike and Yan Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 What would she eat for any meal? I hope I can guess, but breakfast??? uh oh clueless!! Yes I know her normal selection, IF in China. But I'm wondering regarding food I can buy in USA to have available for Sunday morning after her Saturday long flight. Remember first impression goes a long way. I guess the left over order out Dominoes pizza from dinner is OK??? B) Link to comment

Remember first impression goes a long way. I guess the left over order out Dominoes pizza from dinner is OK??? B) My wife likes pizza. But, it was an acquired taste. Most Chinese are not used to eating cheese. American bakery products are usually either too salty or too sweet. One thing my wife liked the first time and still requests regularly is BBQ (both meat and vegetables). Can you get duck eggs? If so, hard boil a few (regular hard boiled eggs are an adequate substitute). And, of course, freshly cooked rice. Want a simpler suggestion? My wife likes pork. Probably bacon (low sodium) and eggs (with rice) would be a hit. Link to comment
NewDay2006 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) I made the typical American breakfast. Her and her son ate it, no problem. Eggs,bacon and toast. She did request warm milk. Peipei perfers it cold. You want her to feel at home and she wants to fit in here in America. My wife loves Biscuits, Bacon(I make turkey bacon mostly), She likes when I make cheese grits and always notices if I don't put garlic in the grits. Pancakes go over good as well. btw, Welcome to America Edited September 4, 2009 by NewDay2006 (see edit history) Link to comment
dnoblett Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Scrambled Eggs and Bacon, toast. My wife tolerates that when going out for breakfast, or she makes her own rice congee. Link to comment

Jon & Cindy Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Cindy didn't like pizza when she first tried it but she loves it now. As for breakfast pancakes always work. She hates cereal but donuts are gobbled up pretty fast! Jon & Cindy Link to comment
Batmaniac Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Pizza is hit or miss with Ying these days. We ate it about once a week in China. In Shenzhen, her mama caught me eating cold leftover Papa Johns pizza for breakfast one morning and I got a Mama Mop Slap big time! While scolding me in Chinese, she was literally pulling me towards the toaster over! For Ying's breakfast she generally likes cereal with milk I heat for her in the microwave. A little fruit is also typical. On weekends, pancakes or waffles are always welcome. Breakfast tacos are a big hit too. I would go to two different Shenzhen import stores to get the ingredients.
