Ha! Some of this looks quite a bit like what my in-laws serve for breakfast. I don't mean to poo-poo it too much. I love this kind of food for lunch and dinner. But it starts my day off all wrong having it for breakfast. My wife totally didn't get it, but it all came to a head one morning when we were out vacationing at the sea side and woke up with some friends to go find some breakfast. I'd try to go along and eat whatever we could scrounge up but after 14 days of cold fish and soup for breakfast I was past accommodating. We kept driving past perfectly open bakeries or places that might serve milder food stuffs and landed at pretty much the 180 degree polar opposite of a full-English, a pork-intestine soup (and some other misc pork parts) restaurant. [1] Normally, I find this soup perfectly fine. But as a heavy lunch or dinner foodstuff. Not a breakfast thing - ever. I lost it, I sat there in stoic fuming silence while everybody else ate their fill. My wife wondering why I wasn't eating anything -- leaving my entire meal untouched. We left, and I gave her an ear full until we stopped at a bakery where I got myself some decent pastries and some very so-so coffee. (reversing roles, my wife frequently has a similar food crisis in various countries we've visited and we've spent hours hunting down something she'll eat. Turns out there really are Chinese restaurants everywhere and that's "close enough" to get her through the day.) When we finally made it back home to the States, I gorged myself at diners and IHOPs and all day breakfast places for 3 or 4 days until I felt like I was truly back in a civilized land. 1 - See #3 Sundaeguk http://travel.cnn.com/seoul/eat/5-korean-ways-eat-pig-231893 http://travel.cnn.com/seoul/eat/5-korean-ways-eat-pig-231893

  I have to admit I'm quite confused. Your ideal breakfast has a lot of sausage, meat cuts, bacon, etc. but pork soup is a problem? Isn't that the same thing with some water? And then you settled for pastries? That sounds like the least-full breakfast you can get this side of a bowl of cereal.
