Now this was a delightful read. Although I rather enjoy a banana, not at breakfast, but in the run up to a late evening tea, since it will stop me wanting a dessert (or cake, or biscuit etc). Like most English kids, I was reared on cereals, and still tend to eat them, but erratically. I prepare them, and they sit there as I read a book,and 3 hours later it occurs to me that I should eat them. Which is why I buy weetabix, which endures longer than most in a bowl of milk. Followed by a totally cold mug of fruit tea, also made 3 hours earlier. Any over night hunger is solved by the packet of oat cakes kept at my bedside. Somehow, I feel I wouldn't fit in to French cordon bleu.
Your comment is no less a delightful read! I also never finish a bowl of .. well, I use the cheaper "breakfast biscuits", but branded Weetabix is better at resisting absorption, so remains with a crunchy texture. Take it from an expert.
My German experience introduced me to the "Teelicht" or tea light, a porcelain stand with a mini-candle to keep the pot warm. They really work, especially combined with a tea cosy, but, to avoid stewed navvies' tea, use PG Tips or Tetley.
