Certain meals for certain times?

Tak · 27-06-2008, 10:06

Does anyone think of certain meals only as things for certain times of the day?

I will do bacon eggs and beans or scrambled egg on toast as a dinner but I've been told they are "breakfast" meals not "dinner" meals and I just can't understand this.
I have had curry for breakfast, I've had cornflakes for dinner, I've munched a chicken breast before work, I've never really worried about things being classed as a certain meal.

Am I the only one?

Maybe it is because I don't "do" breakfast as such, I don't really "do" set meal times - I eat when I am hungry and will aim to have one main meal a day. I know "diet" wise this probably isn't brilliant but it is what seems to work for me.

I don't want this thread to go off on healthy eating, I'm just wondering about peoples thoughts on certain foods/meals only being for certain times of the day.

Nah I'll eat anything at anytime, though curry probably not the best thing in the morning! I mean breakfast is about the only thing I think you can be a bit more anal about with regards to what "normal" breakfast food is. however I've had lasagne/pasta in the morning for brekkie, through to fry ups, to fruit smoothies, quiche, kippers etc...

I think there are some things that feel more lunch or dinner or breakfast type of things. Tea time for me is always toast/bakery/savoury snack and a cup of tea/coffee however.

I had toast/bacon/eggs/beans for dinner last night and it did feel a little wierd!

I don't really do breakfast either, but I've started eating cerials during the daytime.

Yup and technically even if I don't eat until 6pm it is still breakfast

I tend to follow convention for the most part (cereal/toast/full English etc. for brekky, cold lunch/sandwich, hot dinner), but occasionally mix it up. Full English can be enjoyed at any time of day, and I often take a tupperware of cereal in to eat at work around lunchtime. Any leftovers from dinner are fair game for breakfast the next day also.

I'm changing the habit of a lifetime and having breakfast regularly. I find it makes me feel a bit more with it in the morning and quite a lot less grumpy.

Suitable comments about the grumpyness are expected.

Must resist... comments....

You are a grumpy **** most of the time anyway

I'm glad you're having breakfast, then again I had been bugging you about it!

Leftovers for breakfast are brilliant.

why go along with culture, who said they have it right.

It's like I'll have mint sauce with rosties, regardless of what meat It's with. Some call me a freak. I call them narrow minded for just following the norm.
