An aside:What are your favourite alternative breakfasts?

Does anyone enjoy tomatoes on toast for breakfast to? With a bit of margerine and a dose of salt and pepper it's quite delicious and refreshing. There's no temptation to add cheese or any other ingredients. When on holidays in Galicia, northern Spain in the summer we ate untoasted bread just rubbed with tomato and  doused with olive oil, it was gorgeous. They sometimes eat it with garlic infused oil. At home I tried grated tomato on toast with salt and pepper which was lovely.

My other favourite breakfast is Indian paratha -a stuffed flat bread. I ate these for breakfast when I went to a cousin's wedding in India a few years ago, it was a traditional indian wedding lasting over four days. My cousin's family had hired some local cooks to make breakfast for the groom's household and any guests staying nearby. We ate parathas ever day and they were wonderful. You can also get them in UK indian takeaway and indian restaurants but the ones I have had pale in comparison. Basically they consist of discs of pan fried wholewheat dough stuffed with vegetables -potatoes, leafy vegetables, cauliflower or paneer. The best ones I have tasted have a thin delicate layer of dough enclosing the filling so the cooking oil that you fry them in can penetrate the whole filling and you can pull them apart easily.
