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.)

It occurs to me that in other countries I would have fruit - for example, in Spain I ate lots of watermelon, kiwi and pineapple at breakfast, with bread and meat and cheese, and that;s pretty much what I'd expect to eat anywhere on mainland Europe with the exception of France, where I have always eaten some sortof baked good (croissant or pain au raisin or similar), yoghurt and apple puree. With variations on the type of cheese/amount of fish/proportions of meat to cheese/types of fruit. Whether I'm right to expect that or not is another question.
