I may have posted this before, but when I was growing up we had breakfast, dinner, and supper (and NO eating between meals). I guess I was grown before I ever ate "lunch". Breakfast ALWAYS included eggs (fried or scrambled) and biscuits (my Dad did NOT eat any of that store bought bread until I was 16 years old). There was milk to drink, sometimes some fruit juice. There might, or might not, be any bacon or sausage. But there was always several cereal choices; Post Toasties, Wheaties, Cheerios, Shredded Wheat, Raisin Bran, Grape Nuts. Cereal with sugar and milk (personally I preferred very thick cream) was considered the "dessert" after the eggs and biscuits.
Waffles and/or pancakes were for supper; never for breakfast.
