Best Answer

Prayer.

Answer:

The Church was strongly inclined to urge people to avoid gluttony, and this had a great deal to do with what people had for breakfast. It was recognized that peasants needed breakfast at the beginning of the day to fuel their day's work, but wealthier people avoided early breakfast, unless they needed it for health reasons.

Peasants usually ate simple grain based foods or similar things for a breakfast at about dawn. This would mean bread, gruel, or porridge, all based on oats, barley, rye, and peas, but not wheat. Eggs were an important source of protein for the poor, and could have been included.

Wealthy people, having fasted until midday, felt very good about having done so, and so were inclined to reward their moderate behaviour by having a large and varied meal.

There is a link to an article on medieval cuisine below, and there is more detail there.

This doesn't relate to this question but a ton of the medieval food quetsions are really of the mark. They didn't eat what they had for breakfast for dinner. it was mostly the same but it had something else as well. Eg apeasant had coarse (thats spelt right) black bread and ale to drink for breakfast and for dinner pottage, coarse black bread with ale to drink.
