A Mennonite man who grew up on a farm in Iowa once told me that on summer days sometimes his family would eat bread and milk with berries on top for lunch. That sounded appealing to me, so today I made a version of it.
Ingredients
day-old homemade bread
blueberries
sugar
cream or whole milk
Toast the bread. Set it in the bottom of a wide shallow bowl. Cover it with blueberries, add some sugar to taste and and crush some of the berries and sugar with the back of a spoon. Or just skip that step; I like a little smushiness. Pour the cream or milk over top, and warm it up a little in the microwave if you want. (I did.)
You may then labor in the fields. Or take a nap.

This was a pretty common summertime lunch when I was a kid. "Bread and milk and strawberries" or "Bread and milk and peaches". That's what it was called. We never toasted the bread, though. Usually accompanied by raw scallions dipped in salt.
We also had that growing up, seems like it was usually an evening meal. I don't remember what fruit we used most, probably peaches or blackberries. We didn't toast the bread or heat anything either, it more about being a COLD meal on a HOT day. It has an Amish name - not sure how to spell it, but something like "bruckles" (can't find anything on Google for that word, so I must be way off on the spelling!).
Marcia, look up "bruckle soup." I love that name.
