Breakfast, literally to 'break the fast' one has been on through the night, is the first meal of the day.
The traditional breakfast in anglo-saxon (Continental) cultures is porridge or (especially at weekends) bacon and eggs, but bread or cake, particularly muffins, with tea or coffee are also extremely popular. Cold cereal has also been popular since the early 20th Century.
A full breakfast, is a traditional cooked breakfast, comprising at its heart bacon and eggs, that is popular throughout Britain, Ireland and other parts of the English speaking world. Depending on where it is served, it is called 'bacon and eggs', a 'fry, fry up', 'full English breakfast', 'full Welsh breakfast', 'full Scottish breakfast', 'full Irish breakfast', and 'Ulster fry'. The complement of the breakfast varies depending on the location and which of these descriptions is used. Full cooked breakfasts are no longer an everyday occurrence in many British or Irish households, although they occupy an important place in the concept of the morning meal and are the predominant business of many greasy spoon cafés, as well as generally being offered to tourists as traditional fare in hotels, guest houses and bed-and-breakfasts. Although it has declined as a breakfast it has grown in popularity as an 'all day breakfast' especially at weekends.
In France, bread and coffee with milk (café au lait) is a popular breakfast. The baguette, which means "long stick", is typically dipped in the café au lait repeatedly until there's only a tiny piece of bread left.
