Munching on my shredded wheat breakfast I wondered ... does anyone know what the French/German/British pilots used to eat for theirs?
Good question Gary.
As a guess Eggs & Bacon or crumpets for the Brits, Croissants (spelling?) for the French & Bratwurst for the Jolly old Hun!
Weißwurst for my Bavarian comrades!
A pound of delicious Bacon and a cold one. Breakfast of Champions!!
Do you mean the pilots or the front-line soldiers? Officers or enlisted men? Time period? In 1918 the food situation in Germany was pretty bad.
Pilots not the great unwashed!
I suspect what ever the mess captain can get. Certainly better than the PBI in the trenches!

I kept trying to think of a food! Peanut Butter and Ice cream or Potatoes, Bacon and Ilama.
This has been my daily breakfast for many years. Usually bacon stripes are used (above you see genuine Turkish beef sausages, as an exception, supplied by my Turkish friend from Germany).
Sat and Sundays are different, but Mon-Fri are just like this. No bread, but chili and parsley is used widely. Green tea in litres.
Being 51 I am enjoying perfect health and great shape IMHO
Highly recommended, extreme protein-fat diet.

I wish I were digging into THAT this morning! Looks decadently delicious!!

Every time my friends ask me about it I say: This is a hero's breakfastI wish I were digging into THAT this morning! Looks decadently delicious!!

Probably neat whisky, brandy or schnapps.
Think I have to take James Hunt's advice on what's the best breakfast...Every time my friends ask me about it I say: This is a hero's breakfast
