Breakfast. Savory to Sweet Ratio

I usually use a fork, but a whisk definitely gets the job done
Sounds like a question that a cooking elitist in downtown Chicago would ask!
I have never once sat down at breakfast and thought about its Savory/Sweetness ratio. I don't even know how to answer it. I have two eggs cooked into an omelet with shredded cheese, served with chopped vegetables cooked in olive oil, and 12-grain toast with butter. Somebody will have to tell me what that means in terms of this poll so that I can vote.
Give me 100% savory. I guess I may mix in the occasional donut if they are just sitting around, but given the option I'll go savory every time. I'm bad about eating breakfast every day, but there's nothing that beats a good, full savory breakfast.
I feel this in my bones. I've never been able to fully get on the pancake bandwagon. Every now and then I feel like I want them and I get halfway into eating a stack (usually 1 on top of another 1) and they just seem dry, sometimes chewy, feel the need to douse in syrup to make edible etc. Maybe it's the mix I buy or how I make them, not sure. I do find them more tolerable when made from scratch by someone who knows what they're doing, or at a specialized breakfast restaurant etc. But even then, I'd rather order something else like an omelet or a scramble than cakes. I have just never totally got the appeal of pancakes. Of all the breakfast breads, it's French toast for me. That's the sweet part if I ever do a breakfast sweet., well, either that or a cinnamon roll.

You're eating 12 grain bread, but he's elitist.
"Do you prefer sweet to savory?" Vs. "Jeeves, my toast doesn't seem to have have any Millet in it. See that it doesn't happen again."
I agree. To me Cliff bars are more for function than taste. You grab one when you need to eat on the go, or at work, or before a workout, hell they used to hand them out to us kids in high school before a track meet. But if I'm getting up on a Saturday or Sunday morning and have time to prepare a nice breakfast, I sure as hell am not gonna say meh, I'm just gonna start my day with a ******* cliff bar.

We've been to the breakfast club a couple times, and I can't get past their breakfast egg rolls. I've ordered them both times, as my entree and they're so good, I don't even glance at the rest of the menu
If their first question has to do with what you like for breakfast, I think you're definitely using the right dating app.
Funny, I ordered that eggs benny the first time I went and I haven't looked at the menu since. I'll give the egg rolls a glance but man it would be tough ordering something else. My wife's biscuits and gravy were pretty ******* good too.
