What did I actually have for breakfast (in the real world, not the
fantasy you invited me into)? Own-brand Shreddie-alikes. Better luck
next week.

On Sundays we have cooked breakfast - grapefruit then toast. It's
special because it's excellent bread and honey, lemon curd, rose petal
preserve, marmalade all made by me using my bees' and hens' produce.
Can't do better.

Oh, and coffee, with whole real milk. Bottoms to cholesterol!

Rest of the week I have Grape Nuts, Spouse and grand daughter have
boring old muesli from a Dorset packet.

What others have talked about as a full English breakfast would be too
much in a morning, I occasionally make eggs, bacon and tomatoes for a
main meal. No fried bread, it makes the house smell. Plain fresh bread
is good for mopping juices.

My dad used to make eggs, bacon and tomatoes on Sunday mornings, I
remember most the bit of charred wood he used to keep the pan tilted to
baste the eggs. Bit of firewood originally I expect but it was sacred
to the kitchen.

Can't be bothered to check (yet again) what is and what is not
interfered with, medication-wise, by grapefruit. So we never have that.

Very many things. Grapefruit is definitely of limits.
