Interesting to note how the word break fast was coined and how it was used in the early years, i will talk about common breakfast used in West Africa and #Nigeria to be precise.
The common breakfast meal in every home here in Nigeria are listed below.
Pap (made from corn or millet which has been washed soaked in water for a number of days, then taken to be grinded and afterwards it is filtered and sieved. The sieved part can then be made with hot water. Here in Nigeria it is locally called "Akamu".
Bean ball ( made from a beans that has been washed and grinded, then mixed with ingredients like pepper, onions, salt at equal proportion and then fried for some minutes before it can be eaten. The local name here is "Akara".
Fried yam ( this is made from frying yam chips that is added with a little or pinch of salt.
There are other various breakfast that comes from each of the divers cultures in Nigeria, the listed above are the common ones know to every Nigerian.
Personally for me, breaskfast is something one shouldn't play with and should be something light and not too heavy.
An enlightenment post i love it.
