Actually almost without exception period references to breakfast as a 
separate meal little resemble anything we think of as breakfast today. 
Leftovers, from the night before, used trenchers soaked in wine, etc. 

Not to be critical because Victorian cooking is my second love of life after 
medieval cookery but 19th century cookery is 300 yrs removed from early 
modern cookery and 400 years removed from actual medieval cookery. :-)
