Breakfast (''ājvalunai'') is an important meal among Chlouvānem people. Different areas of the Inquisition have different breakfast habits — some areas prefer a sweet breakfast (as in the South, where a fast, workday breakfast is usually as simple as tea with lots of fruit; or in the Northwest, where Western colonial influence means that sweet bread rolls are more common), while others have a generally savoury one. Tea is, however, common everywhere - breakfast teas are often strong but usually more sweetened.

Some common breakfast dishes were born as a way to use the previous day's leftovers, for example the very common Jade Coastal ''drabhyaše'' (nowadays eaten not only at breakfast, but a very common fast food) - savoury pancakes, kinda like Japanese [[w:Okonomiyaki|okonomiyaki]], with noodles as their base. Steamed rice (or, depending on the area, ''saišah'') is also commonly eaten both with savoury and sweet breakfast.<br/>A typical breakfast in most of the eastern Plain and in the Jade Coast, which is also a general menu popular elsewhere in the nation, consists of steamed rice with pickled fruits or vegetables or fresh fruit, savoury ''drabhyaše'' pancakes with various toppings (lentil- or chickpea-based gravy is common, or hot ''paren'' (a cheese-like spread made of nuts or beans) and/or sweet ''pahālyekye'' - rice [[w:gnocchi|gnocchi]] served hot and eaten in a bowl of (cold) coconut milk; an alternative to ''drabhyaše'' is ''komalšam'' (or ''komalšami nāneh''), a spiced flatbread stuffed with potato purée, often with the same toppings as pancakes. In many areas of the Plain, a popular dish is ''riṣvām'', a stew made of mixed vegetables and based on chickpeas or lentils. Drinks include tea (sometimes, especially in Ilēnimarta, with some special sweet small buns, not unlike French brioches) and fruit juice. Meat breakfast dishes may serve grilled or pickled fish, often eels, with the rice; skewed meat (accompanying rice or ''saišah'') for breakfast was introduced into Chlouvānem cities by Kenengyry communities from the former Kaiṣamā, and is known as ''kuyugvajumi ājvalunai'' (Kuyugwazian breakfast).
