Most Important Meal of the Day

Everyone has heard the saying about breakfast being the most important meal of the day.

After reading this piece, I think it's safe to say Mr. Churchill was a proponent of the importance of a good, big breakfast.

While on a British Overseas Airways Corporation flight to America in 1954, Sir Winston was not pleased with the breakfast being offered, so he decided to order this own:

'1st Tray. Poached egg, Toast, Jam, Butter, Coffee and milk, Jug of cold milk, Cold Chicken or Meat.


'2nd Tray. Grapefruit, Sugar Bowl, Glass orange squash (ice), Whisky soda.' He then adds: 'Wash hands, cigar.'


Sounds like a pretty dang good breakfast to me.
