I think it's good to have something warm and preferably sweet for breakfast. You know I'm referring to porridge. It's probably not made as much now as it was when I worked in a hospital during my studies, and when you got porridge every Saturday. I never realized you could eat porridge for dinner, but that's a whole other discussion.
Porridge is the first meal after breast milk in most cultures and most people like it. In India, sweet or salty daliya is often eaten for breakfast, salty porridge! Now you may say: I never realized that you can eat salty porridge for breakfast…. Here is the sweet daliya that is eaten for breakfast and is made from couscous.
