Cereal porridges, pancakes, preparation made with cereal and pulse combination, cereal and vegetable combination, milk and cereals with fruits, bread with butter or jam or sandwiches,

These are combined with milk, hot chocolate, tea or coffee or fruit juices. A fruit can also be taken to complete the course.
