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 body usually can't cope with fruit so early, though my current cereal has raisins in and I sometimes treat myself to yoghurt with fruit in. On weekdays I have a banana for elevenses, and on weekends I have a banana for breakfast (because I'm lazy and keep some in the bedside table) or porridge with raisins. If I'm in a hotel I might be more leisurely and have whatever fruit platter is going. I usually save my fruit juice allowance for the evening/pub.
