You’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do you feel hungry? Well, do ya, punk?
Even when you’re an Oscar-winning actor, breakfast is still the most important meal of the day. Hey, famous people have to eat too! You already know what Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton wake up and eat, but what about Western star Clint Eastwood?
What does Clint Eastwood eat for breakfast?
I really wanted to be able to use “Go ahead, make my eggs” as a joke here, but Clint Eastwood isn’t a fan of eggs in the morning. I know, it’s shocking! In an interview with Men’s Health, Clint’s son Scott says his dad takes his diet pretty seriously: “My dad does not eat for pleasure. He eats salmon and brown rice for breakfast.”
Personally, I find salmon to be quite pleasurable to eat, but whatever!
What are some good salmon breakfast recipes?
Salmon and brown rice might feel more like dinner, but then again, lox is a popular brunch option, so maybe Clint Eastwood is on to something. If you want to get your salmon fill in the first half of the day, replace the Canadian bacon with salmon for eggs Benedict. Or, you could whip up hash brown pancakes to accompany your smoked salmon.
It’s worth noting that while some of us might wake up craving bacon and coffee, there really is no hard-and-fast rule about what makes something a “breakfast” food. I’ve eaten leftover pad thai for breakfast before because it was so good that I couldn’t wait to eat it again. Anything you eat before noon technically counts as breakfast, so go ahead, make your plate!
