I almost always have a cereal of some kind. I particularly like porridge - that’s what you call "oatmeal" if you are American - and have it about every third day. There are a lot of opinions about porridge. The original Scottish variety is made entirely with water and salt, but many people nowadays add other things. I put in salt, no sweetener, but then use half water, half milk and sometimes add cinnamon and/or dried fruit. This morning it was dried cranberries and sultanas. The longer you cook it the smoother it gets. As it is pretty filling all I needed afterwards was a big juicy orange. I generally eat at least one orange a day. There is always a bowl of them on my kitchen table and they go down well any time, especially when you come in thirsty from work in the afternoon.

This morning: freshly picked black currents boiled with a little sugar, topped with muesli and Greek style yoghurt. Very nice. Followed by a croissant or two. Life is hard here in the country.
Me too!

Whatever they say I think honey and cream is rather good.
'The Guardian' must have realised you were asking ;-)

I usually drink a glass of water with some drops of lemon in the first place…Afterwards I have a cup of oat drink with a little bit of hot coffee and some cereals. Then I enjoy a toast of bread with some jam on it and finally I use to end with something little and sweet like a biscuit or something like that… I enjoy a lot that moment of the day, every mouthful is a pleasure. This meal captures my attention completely.
I usually leave some fruit for midmorning:)
I also remember to have had porridge for breakfast in some workshop. It was delicious with cinnamon and honey!!...
This morning I had granola with full cream milk, an orange, a slice of homemade chocolate cake and a glass of Badoit mineral water.
I have recently started to eat soya yogurt. Unfortunately I tend to eat it at night as a snack, really need to have more self control.
Yes, I have honey and peanut butter on the "breakfast shelf" of my frig and bananas in my fruit bowl. All good. I also like date syrup, which you can pour straight onto porridge or you can mix with tahini to make a spreadable paste (high on energy and protein) to put on toast.
For breakfast, I usually have a smoothie of milk, oatmeal, peanut butter, and a banana. I get a lot of energy out of that combination.
