Breakfast customs are just that - customs. What is eaten in Scotland for breakfast (not to mention Germany!) would horrify many north Americans, as would the paucity of our intake at that important meal. In France, on the other hand, it's difficult to get a robust breakfast such as the Scots and Germans (and I) enjoy. We tend to be horrified not really at the food, but at the difference of custom.
This discussion of the Commonwealth is now officially off-topic (and I know, I'm not helping!) but to steer it a wee bit back, I wonder what the different Commonwealth customs are in this regard, and how they evolved as the "Empire" (now Commonwealth+) spread about the globe.
