I had bread and milk this morning...

This used to be a favourite when I was a kid. Particularly because my Dad would make it for me. It comprised of cutting bread into chunks, then putting in a saucepan, and covering with milk, then boiling it. Putting it into a bowl, with a layer of sugar on top.
An alternative to cereal.
At the time cereal was Kellogg's Corn Flakes (still a favorite) with fruit cut up (bananas, strawberries, but mainly just with sugar), a sprinkle of wheat germ or All-Bran. Quick Oats (porridge) was another favorite - with a tiny bit of milk, butter, and sugar on top.
I remember my father so dearly, and bread an milk brings him back to me, even if just briefly.
