Meats and meat cooking methods are covered in previous chapters, but we mention them again because three meats in particular—bacon, sausage, and ham—appear on most breakfast menus.
Although most breakfast meats are traditionally pork products, items like turkey bacon and other non-pork products are also available. In addition, meat substitutes made from soy can be used on vegetarian menus.
