What are difference?

English breakfast

Breakfast is generally a bigger meal than they have on the Continent, though some English people like a continental breakfast of rolls, butter and coffee. But the usual English breakfast is porridge or cornflakes with milk or cream and sugar, bacon and eggs, marmalade made from oranges with buttered toasts and tea or coffee. For a change, you can have a boiled egg cold ham or, perhaps, fish.

Ukrainian breakfast

When it comes to breakfast, you'll find that Ukrainian people eat quite light and save their appetite for lunch and dinner. Breakfast in Ukraine is similar to a continental European breakfast. Ukrainian people eat a lot ofcereals for breakfast. For example, in cities, a common breakfast will include boiled buckwheat, rice or cats. In Western Ukraine, corn porridge is also quite popular and is commonly eaten with white cheese. Bread with salo (pork fat) is a common addition for any meal. The drinks can include tea or coffee, or kompot (which is a very sweet fruit drink).  But of course, dishes vary from person to person and family to family.
