Week 18 - Breakfast

Some people eat normal breakfast foods such as cereal and milk, maybe with fruit; eggs, grits, bacon, sausage, toast, biscuits, muffins, bagels, English muffins, French toast, hashbrowns, cream of wheat, oatmeal, fruit, waffles, pancakes, granola bars, etc. Others prefer to eat lunch/supper foods. Still, some people like breakfast for supper.

3. Do you like traditional breakfast foods? Which ones?
4. Do you prefer lunch/supper foods for breakfast? Which ones?
