The Breakfast Nook

A simple breakfast of coffee, juice and toast was
often considered enough.
Once upon a time people didn't eat breakfast. What I mean is- they ate a meal in the morning before going to work on the farm. So they basically ate a buffet: eggs, pancakes, meats (usually three including beef!) fruit, bread, etc. etc. The reason was simple: they'd already been up since 4 AM working and by the time they got around to eating it was their version of lunch.

The breakfasts we had in the 50s and 60s were quite basic: Cereal, some fruit. Or, if in a hurry, coffee and toast with butter or jam. But if there was time: an egg, slice of toast with jam; a piece of fruit and a piece of some kind of meat. Sorry but as working the farm became something fewer and fewer people did for a living, the amount of food they needed shrank.

That said, this section is the Breakfast Nook, so to speak, meaning it's not a large section, it's a nook!
