Have + breakfast vs. have got + breakfast

Hi everyone!

Do the following two sentences mean the same? I think they don't.

1. I usually have bread and jam for breakfast.

2. I have usually got bread and jam for breakfast.

I know that the first sentence is 100% correct, but is the second one possible when it it should mean the same as the first one?

Only the first one is correct. have got can't substitute for "dynamic have". In these sentences have means eat or consume, not just posse
