Toast, yes. MUFFINSOHYESSOMANYMUFFINS, pastries, yes, bacon(blech) and ham, yes, potatoes? pancakes yes, smooties, I would prefer not. well, actually, smooties are fine. Shakes are a nono. My parents, every morning have a disgusting shake that they make in our INSANELY loud blender.
Bacon is love. Bacon is life.
I mean, proper bacon. Not that cheap stuff that often peddled at the store. The nice thick one - that's the stuff.
I have the same smoothie situation at home. Parents feeling bad about their weight and trying to compensate with more liquidy stuff in the morning. Pah!

Canapés / hors-d'oeuvre are rather diverse so it's hard to find something that captures its essence, but here's a pic from the googles.
It's usually a combo of cheese, spreads, spicy sauces plus cold meats and vegetables on bread. There are more fancy things, such a vol-au-vents or more expansive cheeses. Usually served at parties. The lowest kind is stuff like cream cheeses and sweet perkin pickles on soda biscuits.
Similar to tea sandwiches, which are a selection of small, crust-less sandwiches, scones, and desserts served with tea in the fashion of English Tea Time.
