What's wrong with soft-boiled eggs?  On a cold day in winter for lunch I
will often boil a couple of eggs and serve it with toast as a midday
meal for one.  Two slices of bread to scoop them out then plonk the
remains on the other two pieces as a sandwich richly sprinked with
freshly ground pepper.  Yum!

My own comparative prandial exercise currently involves two pieces of
toasted bread or crumpets, or a muffin split, and a bowl of muesli.  I
am doing a diet to test my chlorestrol levels so I have to make my own
muesli.  Once I'm off this diet I'm going back to making porridge!  That
is accompanied by one or two cups of Ceylon blackleaf tea made loose
leaf in a glass plunger pot that I keep for that purpose and served with
milk.  I have an unfortunate weakness for being proper and special
breakfast foods will not get eaten during the day other than at this
time.
