[David Palmquist]

Responding to the DWSI message (which I can't locate) - Lots of roadside 
eateries offer fried breakfasts.  Just look at the typical Denny's or other 
truckstop breakfast menu in Canada or the western States..

Don't know if marmite is a health food or not, but in Sweden there are some 
interesting breakfast combinations - a "caviar" of cod roe paste, or salmon 
paste, squeezed out of a toothpaste tube onto a piece of hardtack - very 
tasty.  Or liquified plain yogourt instead of milk on your breakfast 
cereal.  Delicious.

Grits?  Only had them once, at a Denny's near the I-5 in Washington, and 
they didn't seem like anything other than Sonny Boy cream of wheat, which I 
hadn't had since I was a child.
