I’ve been making omelets with chorizo lately, which are really good. Chances are, if it’s any ground-up or thinly sliced meat, I’ll have it with eggs.

that had two eggs (for me scrambled), two pieces of bacon, two sausage links, a piece of ham, hash browns, and two pancakes. So yes, I like meat with my eggs. Ideally, the eggs should be scrambled in the skillet right after the bacon, ham or sausage is removed, in the same grease. (You can tell I'm from the south, can't you?)

It's been grossing me out to think of the factory processing and such, and I bever liked handling it. I definitely love a good sausage.
Found some good fake sausages from Morningstar Farms, and those with some potatoes and fresh tomato on the side...MMMM!

I am 90-95% meat-based in my diet.

Bacon and eggs or sausage and eggs. Or steak and eggs. Or ham and eggs. Man, I am getting hungry!!!!

The ultimate hack is to fry up four pieces of bacon in a cast iron, and then whisk 9-12 whole eggs and pour them directly into the grease and scramble them up. The flavor is amazing and the eggs stay super moist with all the good bacon grease. Plus then you don't have to dispose of the grease.

I've had eggs and some sort of meat for breakfast every single day for decades. Amazing nutrient-dense start for the day.

...yet.

I'm a carnivore. I like an egg with my bacon, sausage, ham, and steak for breakfast. And juice. AND Coffee.

I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat lettuce.......

With some eggs, either scrambled or over hard, some home fries, and toast with strawberry jam. Washed down with a cup of decaf. I could eat that seven days a week

We enjoy having a couple of slices of Turkey Spam. This is an acquired taste. The first couple of times you have it, you might not consider it a great side.
