Full English? A bowl of cereal? How about a dish of piping hot curry? According to a new report released by Kellogg's, us Brits may soon forego a piece of toast and tuck into spicy food instead.
Food experts have predicted that people in Britain could become so fond of spicy flavours that we start incorporating them into our morning meals over the next 15 years.
The report, which was compiled by Your Future Consultancy, gathered together a panel of experts which included chef Guy Wolley.
Mr Wolley said: "At the moment the UK has a taste for relatively plain breakfast flavours and the elements haven't changed much since the 1930s."
'In the future we will take breakfast much more seriously and it may become the main meal of the day."
"We will also see some very different tastes and trends emerging. Seaweed, spices and fish will become popular in the morning."
"Dishes such as crab porridge and sumac flakes for breakfast may seem unbelievable but 20 years ago it would have seemed absurd that we would be eating raw fish wrapped in rice and seaweed - of course sushi is now a very popular cuisine."
A spokesman for Kellogg's said: "Already we have been seeing an increase in the use of spices in the UK and the likes of Polish sausages and fish more commonplace on the British breakfast plate."
"The world has become a much more open place, and with further immigration to the west and the UK expected to continue from the Middle East and Asia in particular, we can expect to see this influence the British palate at breakfast time."
Will you be skipping toast and tea for crab porridge and seaweed or not? Let us know below...

- Bacon sandwich<p> Your body is probably craving a greasy meal, and a bacon sandwich is the perfect indulgence. A study found that the food speeds up the metabolism (helping clear alcohol from the body) and the high amino acids found in bacon help clear the head.</p>

- Tomato juice<p> The old hair of the dog trick may feel like it's helping, but can actually wreak havoc on your liver, so a non-alcoholic drink like tomato juice will rehydrate your body and boost energy levels. Turning it into a Virgin Mary with lemon juice, celery and a dash of Tabasco or chilli powder bring added benefits (chilli contains capsaicin, which helps banish headaches and the vitamin C in the lemon juice can help stave off that inevitable post-drinking binge cold).</p>

- Chicken broth<p> Get your body rehydrated with some tasty chicken soup - the salt content will also restore the electrolytes you lost when boozing.</p>

- Strawberries<p> Scientists have found that strawberries can help protect the stomach lining from alcohol, making them an essential pre- and post-drinking snack.</p>

- Eggs<p> Eggs contain cysteine, an amino acid which helps the body get rid of alcohol. And is there anything more tempting to munch on when you're feeling groggy and weak? </p>

- Ginger<p> Ginger is known for balancing gastric juices and soothing the stomach lining, which will help your nausea levels. Have it in a tea to rehydrate.</p>

- Honey on toast<p> A high-fructose breakfast like honey on toast will help reduce hangover symptoms since fructose breaks down acetaldehyde, a chemical which alcohol is converted into in the body. Honey and toast also replenish lost sodium and potassium.</p>

- Cereal with berries<p> A starchy meal with fructose, like a bowl of cereal with a fruit topping - is a great pick-me-up for restoring energy levels. Cereal is also enriched with folic acid (alcohol interferes with the absorption of folate), essential for repairing DNA, aiding in cell growth and producing healthy red blood cells. </p>

- Salmon<p> Rich in vitamin B6 and omega-3 fatty acids, a morning bagel with lox and cream cheese will help your body restore itself. Or, try eating the meal before your night on the town - high in potassium, protein and fat, the tasty treat will keep your blood sugar balanced, counteracting the effects of the booze.</p>

- Bananas<p> The potassium-packed fruit may be your best friend on those mornings when you can hardly open your eyes. A banana will help your body rehydrate (and replenish the potassium you lost while drinking) and has a high vitamin C content as well as vitamin B6, which protects against DNA damage to the liver. Plus, the fructose in bananas will restore energy levels and magnesium will help tame that pounding headache.</p>
