List of breakfast topics

Breakfast is the first meal of the day, typically consumed in the morning. The word derives from the idea of breaking the fasting period of the prior night. It has its origins in the Christian custom of fasting from food between the dinner meal and the morning meal. Breakfast foods vary widely from place to place, but often include a carbohydrate such as grains or cereals, fruit, vegetables, a protein food such as eggs, meat or fish, and a beverage such as tea, coffee, milk, or fruit juice.
