Romantic Breakfast

What would make for good breakfast foods that would fit in with going to the beach, eating right there, and seeing the sunrise?
Despite being a vegetarian I'd entertain anything, since my lady friend loves my meat.

I'd say what's perfect for the beach would be maybe a good amount of fruit, you can also bring maybe some bagels and cream cheese or jelly, or maybe english muffins instead?
Those kinds of things you can at least toast before you go and then just spread whatever you want on when you get there and enjoy!
Example:
My lady was having a rough morning not too long ago, so I told her to stay in bed. Grabbed some lucky charms, took out most of the oates and put in more marshmellows. Instant win.
Getting a specialty-favorite breakfast is certainly romantic. Go with her favorite.
Waffle House hashbrowns, then.
Actually that does thoughtful as long as I ditch the white trash plastic box it comes in, and gussy it up a bit.
:winky:
you could be eating graham crackers and having a romantic breakfast with the right setting. getting the right food is just bonus points.
get a really nice blanket to sit on, if it's going to be at all dark when you start this breakfast you could light up a couple of candles sunk in the sand, if it's just going to be the two of you without any other beach goers you can put on a mix of her favourite songs or whatever, or just some decent relaxing classical. simple but cosy, nothing too fancy or it would detract from the beach/sunrise vibe, but something nice to sit on i think is a must
it's all about the relaxation togetherness bit imo... some of the best romantic meals i've had with my wife were just bits we grabbed at the last minute, one was just a loaf of bread and a pack of cheese slices we got from a little supermarket... but the day we'd spent together and the whole right place right time element really makes it stick iin your mind.
also personal touches for the win when it comes to food, serve it up on a plate etc if you can, nice napkins and all that jazz. if she's the traditional kind of girl that likes that kinda stuff then just go for it, my wife loves it and you really can't go wrong, even if it's just stuff like a single flower in one of those little vases.
oh and if she has any kind of quirkiness/humour/happiness going... arrange her food as a smiley face.... i fucking swear.
Something to watch out for, as chaosisorder mentioned, is using a really sweet sparkler in your mimosa. Popular stuff like Andre, Martini & Ross Asti Spumante, or Verdi, combined with the natural sugar in orange juice, can make the final mix almost sickeningly sweet. Of course, if you prefer them that way, all the more power to you. :P
I've always liked using a crisp Brut (Stay the hell away from Korbel!) and then adding in some orange liqueur (usually Grand Marnier) to taste if I want it a bit sweeter.
Though really, like you said, you can't go wrong with some Rosa Regale, women LOVE that stuff. ;-)
(Just remembered - Francois Moutand Blanc de Blanc is one of my favs.)
