Here the strawberries are ripe and plentiful (despite Wimbledon and lots
of rain doing their best!), and right now my favourite brakfast is:

A handful of local Kent trawberries
A good dollop of Yeo Valley Fat Free Probiotic Organic Yoghurt
http://www.yeovalleyorganic.co.uk/products.php?product=FatFreeNaturalYogurt(I
buy it because it tastes good, not because it bangs all the Hand Knitted
Yoghurt Brigade's drums.  It also comes vanilla flavoured, which is a
great alternative to custard for pouring on puddings)
A handful of Lizi's Original Granola
http://www.lizis.co.uk/original-granola.htm (the best!)

A mixture of fresh dark cherries and nectarines goes down well, too.

Sounds yummy! Typically my breakfast here consists of something we call
'platte kaas' in Dutch or 'fromage blanc' in French : a very light and
velvety fresh white cheese, close to yoghurt consistency but a bit
creamier, to which I add 'Kellog's Special K red berries' or a kind of
shredded wheat called Fruit & Fiber here. Most of the times I 'll eat
some fresh fruit with that, strawberries, melon, blueberries, kiwi
slices etc.
On the weekends, when I have a bit more time, it will often be oatmeal
to which I add a little cinnamon, and sometimes a teaspoon of 'Lyle's
golden syrup' drizzled on it. Hmmmmmm....
Breakfast in Belgium is often sweet, most people here eat bread with
either jam or "choco" (a chocolate paste, like Nutella but often pure
chocolate without the nuts), or cereals/muesli with milk or yoghurt.
I try to limit bread because I either don't like it when it 's
industrial white bread, or I eat too much of it when it 's hand made
dark bread.

cheers,

Nathalie

Sounds like Belgian breakfast is very like Dutch breakfast, and that we
encountered in noth west Germany: choices of cerials, many different
breads, both sweet and not, and soft and sliced cheeses and cold meats.

Is it still the habit among workmen to get up to coffee and possibly
toast, get to work about 7:30 am, and stop at 9:30 or so for breakfast,
finishing the working day mid afternoon, so they had more time at home
with their kids?  I always thought that a very sensible way to work, and
could never understand whay shops and offices didn't do it too.

These days I tend to get up and make tea, get James out to catch the bus
to school at five to eight, and have breakfast later, at about 9-9:30,
while dealing with emails and such, so I suppose I have slid into that
way of working.  I hit the sewing room after breakfast.

It is indeed still the habit for many early risers here. And sensible
indeed, since many are really not hungry when getting up early.
Dinner(supper) is typically very early as well, in workmen's families
dinner is on the table at 16:30-17:00!
Way too early for me, being of French descent I tend to have supper
around 20:30, a more Mediterranean hour as they say... it suits me
better! When I come home from work at 19:00 I have a bowl of 0 point
soup, or some olives and some cherry tomatoes before starting to work on
supper.

I must admit I like to breakfast like the Belgians and dine like the
Italians!  :D  Lunch is a moveable feast.  I used to teach, and 4:00 pm
when the kids had gone and I was just settling into the after school
meetings/marking/preparation is still my danger time, as that's when
we'd dive into the biscuits and chocolate...
