Well, here are some ideas and the files in the Florilegium where more info
can be found:
various egg dishes - in the FOOD section:
eggs-msg (125K) 7/26/00 Egg storage. Recipes. Substitutions.
pancakes, waffles, wafers, donuts, French Toast - in the FOOD-BREADS section:
French-Toast-art (27K) 3/31/00 "From Lost Bread to French Toast" by
Christianna MacGrain.
French-Toast-msg (21K) 10/12/00 Period French Toast. Recipes.
fried-breads-msg (20K) 1/11/00 Period fried breads. Funnel cakes, donuts.
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:
sausages-msg (104K) 10/31/00 Period sausages. Making sausage.
sausage-makng-msg (28K) 10/31/00 Sausage making techniques. Supplies.

ham-msg (26K) 1/ 4/00 Period ham. Modern sources. Recipes.
stockfish-msg (93K) 12/12/00 Period preserved fish. Dried, smoked

(Well, maybe not dried fish as-is, but pickled or kippered fish?)
salmon-msg (41K) 5/26/00 Period use of Salmon. Recipes.
polenta-msg (15K) 11/19/99 Period polenta. Wheat and maize polenta.
(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.
