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.)

My default breakfast at home is porridge oats with sultanas & milk, microwaved in the bowl, with a glass of orange juice diluted with water. Technically that's 2 of my 5-a-day but neither of them are fresh fruit. I might sometimes substitute a sliced banana for sultanas, but this is rare.

We're on holiday, so I'm going with what's in the cupboard (i.e. cornflakes).

A full English would have at least two, too, depending on whether mushrooms count, so I don't think that was the objection. I think it was more related to fat levels, but I was too busy boggling.
