Breakfast

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

For Benedict's birthday. we had Harry Potter tea with R & J. While I was looking for examples of food from the books, I read a lot of articles talking about lack of veg. Yes, it doesn't feature a lot - I'm sure it's offered, but not talked about, given the sort of meals they have, I imagine cabbage, carrots, broccoli, maybe cauliflower cheese occasionally... meat and two veg. Also, a lot of people complain that there's no fresh fruit at breakfast. Which made me wonder, who eats fruit for breakfast? I'm vaguely aware that some people have grapefruit, and then there are babies of course, but is it more widespread than that?

(Yesterday Judith ate her own bowl of cereal, half of my bowl of cereal and a pear. I had half a bowl of cereal.)

I'm aware that fresh fruit is a great idea for breakfast in theory, but fruit + milk in the mornings doesn't agree with me.

Is it though? My reaction is to assume that fortified cereal for breakfast, followed by fruit at snack time is better, because otherwise when it comes to snack time I'll eat crisps or cake or biscuits, all of which don't seem as good as fruit. I guess it depends on how many snacks you eat, too.

I have the fruit at snack time, apple, plums or banana, but banana goes on cereal. Weetabix with banana. I was given that as a child and gave it to my kids.
