Read this passage, and fill in the grid below.
There were few notable changes during the [nineteenth! century, but one striking fact which emerges is the growth in popularity of what has come to be known as the 'typical English breakfast'. While a few of the more leisured people were content with a cup of coffee or tea and rolls or toast, and some of the more old-fashioned remained faithful to the eighteenth-century breakfast of cold meat, cheese and beer, the majority [of wealthy people] adopted the three- or four-course meal of porridge, fish, bacon and eggs, toast and marmalade, which maintained its popularity for a century but which today has been abandoned in favour of a lighter and simpler type of meal.
