People who enjoy this might like this similar thing from TIME Last year: http://time.com/8515/hungry-planet-what-the-world-eats/

For each of almost 30 countries, it has a photograph of an average family with all the food that would comprise a normal week's consumption, accompanied with a description and cost. (Not all families are from separate countries. Some larger countries have two families from different regions).

Later, the authors published an expanded version as a book, which I believe covers 80 families.

I think there is at least one more subset of photos other than the set TIME published that has been published in some major online magazine, because I am sure I saw one of a German family whose weekly consumption included an amazing amount of beer, and that doesn't match the German family in the TIME article.

More directly relevant to the current story, here's a look at typical breakfasts from several countries: http://www.businessinsider.com/breakfast-around-the-world-20...

These are adult breakfasts, not kid breakfasts.
