> If you sleep in on a Saturday until noon, you'll probably tend to want breakfast food when you first wake up.

It's 9am on a Saturday here and I just ate two slices of cold pizza. Not everyone desires "breakfast food" first thing in the moring. :)

Of course I wasn't saying that applies in every single case. I even double-qualified that part ("probably tend to"), but you still responded with "not everyone." I give up. :)

"Among English speakers, "breakfast" can be used to refer to [the first meal of the day] or to refer to a meal composed of traditional breakfast foods (such as eggs, oatmeal and sausage) served at any time of day." [1]

Even Wikipedia doesn't have a strict definition. I propose a standards committee meet to disambiguate this once and for all.

Whoops. Sorry I did not read it that way. :)
