Simple idea, perhaps a good way to introduce kids\* to the world of taxonomy: What species did you have for breakfast this morning? Include as many ingredients as you can. Cereals and their ingredient lists can be exceptionally global in scope! \*_Pins on a world map could also make the list very interesting._ ---

I used to keep the Oxford Book of Food Plants near the dinner table so I could look up what I was eating. It’s amazing to think how international something like a stir fry or some stew can be when you know where all the ingredients come from. ---

Made me some fried Gallus gallus domesticus eggs this morning, along with a bowl of yogurt from Bos taurus milk and Vaccinium sp. A typical Western-style breakfast. ---

oats, coconut, pumpkin and sunflower and hemp seeds, walnuts, raisins, peaches, apricots, yoghurt, carob, cocoa, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, grapefruit, blueberries and some commercial flakes (quinoa and millet) on top. Then the labels, product of … ---

Avena sativa boiled with Dihydrogen monoxide, no sodium chloride or sucrose. With milk of Bos taurus and a coulis of Morus nigra, Rubus idaeus, Mangifera indica, and Fragaria virginiana. Complimented with brewed Coffea arabica beans.

Oof… I need to actually eat breakfast more often. Today I had baked Triticum cultured with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharum officinarum dipped in ground Cicer arietinum and Sesamum indicum, followed by a processed stick of Bos taurus and Sus domesticus meat. ---

I had multigrain bread with jelly and butter and coffee with milk this morning. I made an iNat list so you can see how everything is related. [https://www.inaturalist.org/lists/4380880-Breakfast?view=taxonomic](https://www.inaturalist.org/lists/4380880-Breakfast?view=taxonomic) ---

Impressive list!! I really hadn’t thought about how many species are in multigrain bread before. This is a really fun idea. ---

The corn is just cornstarch and the apple is just apple pectin so they don’t really contribute to the flavor of the bread or jelly. ---

two spoons of sweet fluid made by _Apis mellifera_, of I think it came, from _Laureliopsis philippiana_ from southern Chile, in a cup _Coffea arabica_ with some sticks of _Cinnamomum_ sp within, Really need to have a better breakfast! ---

Sounds like a fun idea, but I always eat the same thing for breakfast. :) Pancakes made with a flour based primarily from the seed of the fruit of _Prunus amygdalus_, a _Maranta_ species, and a _Cocos_ species topped with sap from _Acer saccharum_. And a cup of milk from _Bos taurus_. ---

Funnily enough, instead of my usual _Coffea arabica_, today it was _Camellia sinensis._ Which means that instead of _Saccharum officinarum,_ I sweetened it with a blend of nectars processed by _Apis mellifera._ > [@gentoopenguin21](#): > > And a cup of milk from _Bos taurus_. Depending on what mood I was in on grocery shopping day, my milk will be either _Anacardium occidentale_, _Prunus amygdalus_, or _Glycine max_. Of course, if I happen to find the milk of _Cannabis sativa_, I find that much richer, and prefer it. On the other hand, if it’s a granola day, then instead of milk, it will be yogurt, either _Anacardium occidentale_ or _Capra hircus_. ---

I just finished a tasty breakfast of eggs of _Gadus morhua_ in a paste made with _Brassica napus_ oil, _Saccharum officinarum_, _Solanum tuberosum_ powder, _Solanum lycopersicum_ paste, _Capsicum anuum_, and _Dactylopius coccus_ (for color), on bread made with _Triticum aestivum_, _Hordeum vulgare_, _Secale cereale_, _Saccharomyces cerevesiae_, _Glycine max_, _Carum carvi_, _Allium cepa_ and _Zea mays_, with a spread made from _Bos taurus_ milk and cream and a fermentation product of _Xanthomonas campestris_, seasoned with _Piper nigrum_ and _Anethum graveolens_ and complemented with a few leaves of _Lactuca sativa longifolia_. (That is, a cod roe sandwich with cream cheese and romaine lettuce on rye, seasoned with dill and black pepper.) What a fun (and educational) project! This would make a great lab for an intro bio course. ---
