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.)

Speaking as someone who was at boarding school in the 1990s, breakfast involved a cooked component (bacon and eggs, kippers, sausage, that sort of thing [but not all of them at once]), cereal and as much toast as you could stuff down. But no fruit.

That would have been more as I expect, thankyou.

my boarding school in the 1980s, we had cereal and toast. I think there was coffee and tea, but I'm not sure.
