Breakfast.  In the U.S. for most people it means eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, cereal-hot or cold, croissants, milk, juice, coffee, tea, the list goes on.

For me, anything can be breakfast.  This morning I had leftover pizza and a small Coke Zero.  Chicken and pineapple pizza.  Yum.


What's wrong with having whatever you want for the morning meal?  As long as you "break the fast" it shouldn't matter what you eat.


The Old English word for dinner, "disner", in Old French, "disjejeunare", in Latin, actually means to break fast and was the first meal eaten in the day until its meaning shifted in the mid 13th century.  It wasn't until the 15th century that “breakfast” came into use in written English to describe a morning meal, which literally means to break the fasting period of the prior night; in Old English the term was morgenmete meaning "morning meal."


When you look at what other countries and cultures consume for breakfast, pizza isn't so strange.


What's for lunch?


Grazi,

Ry
