Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which is why you should always try to make time for it in the morning. Alongside eggs, toast, and potatoes, a serving of breakfast meat will give you the protein boost you need to start your day the right way. Here are a handful of meats that are popular in Hawaiian breakfasts.

What Should You Order For Breakfast in Hawaii?

1. Spam

Since World War II, Spam has been a staple in the diets of Hawaiians. Though often served in musubi or fried rice, you’ll often see grilled Spam alongside eggs, pancakes, and even in omelets. This salty potted meat tastes especially delicious when paired with sweet jams and syrups. 

2. Vienna Sausage

Vienna sausage is another classic breakfast offering in Hawaii, as they are easy to prepare and packed with flavor. These savory canned sausages make for a simple, yet delectable breakfast offering when served with scrambled or over-easy eggs and buttered toast. 

3. Portuguese Sausage

Portuguese sausage is a smoke-cured pork sausage seasoned with paprika and garlic. It is similar to linguica, though slightly sweeter and softer. When sliced and broiled or pan-seared, it makes the perfect accompaniment to soy sauce scrambled eggs and Japanese sticky rice. 

4. Steak

Untrimmed steaks are famous in Hawaiian breakfasts, as they provide a significant amount of protein and can keep you full throughout the day. There’s no better way to begin your day than by enjoying a tender, medium-rare steak served with eggs that are cooked just the way you like them. Stay full through lunchtime by ordering a side of toast, biscuits, hash browns, or grits to round out the rest of your morning meal.
