The Caliph Mu'awiyya (May Allah be Content With Him) used to break his fast
with the leftovers from the previous night's dinner.

On the other hand, the Percys around 1512 had (in lent) beer, bread, wine,
salt fish, baconed herrings, white herring or sprats.

Another reference (also from C. Anne Wilson) is "Brown bread and butter,
which is a countryman's breakfast," probably late in our period.
