Breakfasts are extraordinarily diverse: breads and jams in France, cold meats in Germany, hot meat &amp; egg etc. or kippers in the UK, [breakfast] cereals and juice or sweet pancakes&#x2F;waffles in the USA.<p>Of course, breakfast cereal made it across the atlantic some time ago, and there&#x27;s a lot of common ground in Europe. But it&#x27;s still really quite remarkable in its difference - sweet vs. savoury, meats vs. cereals, hot vs. cold - such a range!<p>I haven&#x27;t even touched on the other continents, because I&#x27;m afraid I&#x27;m rather clueless. Except perhaps kedgeree, which I now understand to have Indian origins (I thought it was French for some reason - probably just childhood association having first eaten it there).
