As in other parts of Levantia, there are two primary types of breakfast in [[Urcea]]. The "breakfast of family" is the most common sit-down meal among [[Urcean people|Urceans]], with several foods that would be largely impractical to eat on a moving basis including waffles, pancakes, and breakfast sausage paired with maple syrup paired with a full fruit. The traditional "breakfast of business", meanwhile, includes a large number of {{wp|cold cuts}}, cheeses, small breads, and other similar varieties of easily consumable foods for working people. The latter tradition is thought to have emerged from Urcea's "hors d'oeuvres culture", though many historians believe both types of food originated in Urcean agricultural settings, with the families of manor houses consuming traditional larger, sit-down breakfasts while providing the peasants with a quicker form of food. The "breakfast of business" has a long history in the Urcean workplace, with most employers providing an extensive spread during the first few hours of the workday. In recent decades, employers have attempted to scale back their in-house catering by replacing them with vouchers for emergent fast food restaurants and other providers. These transitions have been heavily resisted by [[Guilds (Urcea)|the guilds]], many of whom now require some form of in-house catering. | |||
Health conscious Urceans or Urceans unable to devote time to breakfast often simply consume slices of fruit alongside a breakfast beverage. {{wp|Hash (food)|Hash}} is a very common type of food which is sometimes consumed as the primary food with eggs or sometimes served on the side. Fast food and prepackaged offerings typically take the form of more "on-the-go" variations of these primary foods, including [[NoWaiter]]'s well known [[NoWaiter#Breakfast_menu|Daddy Hashy]]. Various biscuits are often included in both full and truncated versions of breakfast. Besides corned beef and sausage, it is usually considered excessive to have large amounts of proteins for breakfast. Bacon is very uncommon for breakfast in Urcean households, and similarly breakfast steaks are considered the realm of the upper class and generally frowned upon within most sections of Urcean society, and even among the wealthy the practice of eating a steak for breakfast has largely declined since the end of the traditional [[Social class in Urcea|class system]]. | |||
Both coffee and tea are popular morning beverage options in Urcea, with tea being considered largely a breakfast beverage unlike in many other [[Occidental]] countries. Marketing by Urcean industries is largely responsible for making orange juice and milk ubiquitous breakfast beverages, making Urcea's dairy agriculture sector one of the world's largest. Accordingly, many Urceans take large amounts of milk in both their tea and coffee. | Both coffee and tea are popular morning beverage options in Urcea, with tea being considered largely a breakfast beverage unlike in many other [[Occidental]] countries.
