Well, here are some ideas and the files in the Florilegium where more info
can be found:

pancakes, waffles, wafers, donuts, French Toast - in the FOOD-BREADS section:

pancakes-msg      (18K)  8/28/00    Period pancakes and pancake-like foods.
  (i've got more to be put in here, but I'm having trouble dividing it between
wafers-msg, pancakes-msg and maybe a new one on waffles-msg)
wafers-msg        (59K)  7/28/00    Period savory and sweet wafers. Recipes.

Others. sausages, some pastries (hmmm. is Apple strudel period?), ham or
bacon, some fish - all of these in the FOOD section:

   (Well, some might go for this)

fresh or prepared fruits? - check the FOOD-FRUITS section.

Some might also say beer and pizza, both of which I've also got files
on. But I think that's pretty disgusting for breakfast. :-)

Well, I guess that should get you some starting points.
