gallo pinto rules!
Gallo pinto is beans and rice (sounds bland tastes fantastic) and you can have it con tocino if you like a bit of bacon or not con tocino you don't. The best place I ever had this was in the central markets in San Jose in Costa Rica, but it's good all around Central America.
Beats my usual of weetbix and soy milk....maybe if I booked the flight now I could be eating it maybe by Tuesday?
Lots of folks travel for food. But for a few of us, what gets us going on those early on-the-road mornings is the local twist on breakfast. This group explores global breakfast delights (no Southeast Asian banana pancakes allowed!).

vivekw Now that's what I'm talking about! Can eat it any time of day, but great in the morning. And can be a daily thing.
janeyo Have you had a good serve of them anywhere outside of Central America? Sounds like a good wintry breakfast.
humbucker I just got back from Costa Rica and I'm with you delinthirdlife. But my vote is still with Congee. That does raise the question of why I can't get rice for breakfast in my favourite Melbourne cafes.
