They come in all shapes, sizes & facts:
The world’s first breakfast was created by James Caleb Jackson who used graham flour to create ‘Granula’ in 1863. It had to be soaked overnight to make it chewable and there was no Stokes sauce available to make it tasty.
According to a recent survey, by far the most popular breakfast in the UK is fried egg, bacon and sausage. Bacon sandwiches come second.
Breakfast At Tiffany’s (1961) won two Oscars and is the only film with 'breakfast' in its title to win an Oscar.
The American competitive eater Joey Chestnut holds the record for eating hard boiled eggs: 141 eggs in 8 minutes, set in 2013, but Matt Stonie (yes, another American competitive eater) holds the bacon record at 181 rashers in 5 minutes.
Oscar Wilde clearly hadn't been aware of such facts when he wrote: 'Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.'

Stokes 'taste aficionados' have declared these five to be their favourite breakfast accessories.
Our Bloody Mary Ketchup is an inspiration. Some of its fans feel it should be listed like a protected building or become one of the modern day Wonders of the World - the Hanging Gardens of Rendlesham does have kind of a ring.
It is an award-winning ketchup with Vodka, Worcestershire sauce and a special blend of Bloody Mary spices - perfect for that 'morning after' butty.
The star of our show and the reason that Stokes even exists is our thick and juicy Tomato Ketchup.
We gently simmer 200 g of beautiful sweet Italian tomatoes reduced to every 100 g of ketchup. It really is Mediterranean sunshine in a bottle of intensely thick tomato ketchup.
I genuinely didn't like brown sauce until I tasted Stokes Brown Sauce. You can smell the grownup difference the moment you twist off the lid. It is a lush sauce, rich with extra date puree, sweet with black treacle and a unique blend of Persian spices.
There's strawberry jam and there's Stokes Extra Strawberry Jam. It's a rich and fruity soft set jam, crammed with strawberries giving it its full flavour and lush colour. We make it to our take on a classic English recipe.
The fruit is cooked with unrefined cane sugar produced in smaller batches, so less processed, retaining
all or most of the cane molasses around the sugar crystals. This natural
sweetness and additional depth of flavour cook well with the extra fruit creating a sensationally tasty jam.
Toast and marmalade - now that's a good breakfast. Toast with Stokes Seville Orange Marmalade - now that's a great breakfast. Once more, we took a traditional English recipe and made it our own to create a classic fine cut marmalade rich with the tangy taste of delicious Seville Oranges.
Mock Hollandaise
Did you know you can make a quick 'mock hollandaise' using Stokes Real Mayonnaise.
