Different people eat different foods,especially for breakfast.A typical Japanese breakfast,for example,includes various kinds of seaweed and withered raw or cooked fish in different sauces.Most Chinese like to begin the day with a bowl of thin,rice soup or a similar dish called congee.In Scotland,the basic breakfast is porridge,which is made from a type of grain called oats.The oats are boiled with a little salt until they are soft,and most people also like to add milk or cream,and sugar.The Swiss invented a breakfast called muesli,which is a mixture of different grains and dried fruits.Nowadays muesli can be bought already mixed but many people like to buy the separate ingredients(成分)and mix their own muesli according to their tastes.
For most American families,manufactured and packaged breakfast cereals are becoming popular.Western supermarkets sell a wide variety of breakfast cereals.They often contain a lot of sugar and many of them have fun names and sometimes contain little toys,which makes them especially attractive to children.
Most of these cereals are made from a type of grain called corn which is crushed and then cooked under pressure until it is light and crunchy(松脆的).It is usually eaten with milk,and most people also add fruit or sugar.
There are many companies making cereals,but the first of these and still the most famous is the Kellogg company which makes Kellogg's Cornflakes.The history of this cereal is not widely known.
It was invented by J.G. Kellogg,an American,in about 1860.Kellogg belonged to a religious group called the Seventh Day Adventists who were vegetarians—people who don't eat meat--and he wanted to make a breakfast food that would be healthy and not use animal products.However,it was his brother W.K. Kellogg who started the product as a business.At the time,Kellogg was working at a place called the Battle Creek Sanitarium and one of the patients,C.W. Post,realized money could be made from selling the new breakfast cereal.So he started his own business and for many years,Post's“Toasties”were as famous as Kellogg's Cornflakes.
