For those societies that have multiple planned meals within a day, '''breakfast''' is the first meal of the day.

+

Most [[Americans]] eat foods such as [[Breakfast cereals|cereal]], [[bacon]], sausage, eggs, [[pancake]]s,

+

[[toast]] or [[ham]], together with orange juice and coffee. In the 19th century Europeans were astonished to discover Americans ate such heavy meat-filled breakfasts, which usually featured pork that was overcooked and covered in gravy or syrup, washed down with strong coffee and perhaps whiskey.

The $10 billion-a-year [[Breakfast cereals|breakfast cereals industry]] is of major importance in shaping the American early morning diet, with a heavy advertising budget. Since the 1980s Americans have been going much more often to restaurants for breakfast. The [[Hamburgers|fast food chains]] now open early to serve the clientele, complete with drive through windows for commuters who eat on the highway.

+

In other countries, breakfast can consist of very different food items. In [[Germany]], for example, a breakfast of cold meat and cheese with bread is often popular, while a "continental" breakfast common in [[France]] can consist of pastries, preserves and other sweet foods.

+

Common drinks served with breakfast include tea, coffee and juice. [[Alcohol]]ic drinks are uncommon.
