It's 8 am in the morning. Somewhere in the world, someone is having breakfast that’s TOTALLY opposite to your first meal.
For some, it could be a quick cup of black coffee, for others — it’s a royal spread of the most delectable delicacies. In case you want a taste, the genius chef at Cooking The Globe has created a proper traditional breakfast table from 10 famous-for-their-cuisine countries around the world.
PS: The mouth-watering spread you will see in the pictures below is by no means a daily breakfast of any citizen. Some of these dishes are cultural and prepared only on special occasions while others are enjoyed on weekends. TBH, in today's tough life nobody has the time to make something THIS grand in the morning.
1. Chinese
A Chinese breakfast table is as hearty as it gets. It typically includes dumplings, rice porridge with pork and shrimp, crepes with meat filling and more.

4. Spanish
Spaniards prefer a mid-morning spread that's rather light when compared to other countries. But an authentic breakfast consists of a delish Spanish omelette, pan con tomato (tomato, garlic, and olive oil sandwich) butter and jam, jamón ibérico or any other Spanish ham. For drinks, it's churros con chocolate coffee with milk or orange juice.
