Re. the something elses, I have yoghurt often (every day at the moment, until the milk delivery is set up), and breakfast isn't breakfast without fruit, preferably an orange.
I often don't bother with breakfast - I find most breakfast foods very dull. Since moving to Lancashire I've started eating a mixture of crunchy nut cornflakes and branflakes (dry - I don't like milk) and recently I discovered the utter wonder that is crunchy nut cornflakes and cold custard. Trust me, this is ambrosial. Even better if it is chocolate custard.
Given time and as long as I have washed up the porridge pot I have porridge with blueberries (frozen) or with pecans and maple/golden syrup. I'll drink lemon and ginger tea, or cranberry juice, or a glass of water.
For much of my childhood I ate a slice of dry wholemeal toast and two biscuits for breakfast. True fact.
Very different attempts at breakfast on different days. If I am not expecting to eat lunch, a cooked breakfast is the way to go, but if I am - sometimes just coffee, sometimes muesli as well.
Either cereal (in the week) or toast (at weekends) for most of the time, though if I'm staying somewhere that offers a cooked breakfast I will definitely eat it.
Croissant and coffee at the weekend. Toast & marmalade or cereal on days when I'm not having a croissant. With either coffee or tea. And the croissant option has the benefit of containing the fewest calories. Win!
Apparently muesli is 'uncooked rolled oats' plus fruit and nuts etc. Granola contains the same ingredients, but is baked until crispy. Very different taste. I prefer muesli, but I've kind of got used to granola in the US now.
I think I'm the only person who only picked "Nothing at all". I'd rather sleep to be honest. Not a morning person, and not eating breakfast means I don't have to set the alarm to go off before 8.00 despite having a 35 minute drive to work.
Very sensible! I used to have most of my brekkie when I was on teaching practice when I got there or at break, and the other teeny bit brought to me to eat in 30 seconds while I was getting ready. Indeed I also ate breakfast at break time when I was at secondary school. This is another reason why I don't bother with breakfast here, once I get up I usually go out sooner than I'd want to eat anything substantial.
I'm with you on the forgoing breakfast to have time in bed. I do have breakfast, but not until I get to work. I still have to get up at 6.40am though :-(
Caveat: in my current life the answers don't apply as I can't get some of the items and some aren't doable on the move, which is what I usually am when I am not in bed esp in the morning, so I start grazing when I first feel hungry and eat several times during the day thereafter, usually. Sometimes this involves an actual real meal or two, sometimes it doesn't. (I do eat a variety of things though, in all food groups).
By tea, I mean green tea, without milk. I have it with a banana and a pack of Belvita breakfast biscuits when I get to work. I don't have anything before leaving the house.
Oh and at the weekend our standard breakfast is orange juice with croissants and home-made jam. Followed by freshly ground coffee and cookies for dunking. I didn't tick those in the poll though as I don't count 2 days out of 5 to be often :-)
Cereal (no milk, just a sprinkling of sugar), then toast. And a glass of coke to accompany it ...
(although staying at B&Bs in the UK, I got quite used to cereal, toast, sausage, bacon, hash brown, maybe even tea, as a breakfast, and that was usually enough to allow me to just snack through the day and not worry too much about finding somewhere to eat lunch - very handy when touristing around the place)

The said, I love traditional breakfast foods, and my favorite meal to eat out is b'fast. Better yet, b'fast food for supper.
(Yes, I know. Americans.)

And baked beans, and tinned tomatoes. And mushrooms.
I had the revelation about 30 years ago: just because it's before noon, doesn't mean you have to eat breakfast foods.
