Well, except for the fact that those don't seem to period *breakfast* 
foods, they don't seem that non-period with the possible exception of 
the biscuits likely being too fluffy (or can you make similar biscuits 
using yeast instead of chemical leavening?) and the *Tomato* gravy. 
Tomato??!! gravy?

For those who may have missed the earlier discussions on period 
breakfasts, or the lack thereof, here is some info:
