Dinner For Breakfast and Vice Versa

Post Reply New Topic

Ive never understood why we are programmed to eat certain foods at certain meals. Why is cereal customary at breakfast? Why not have a cheeseburger or a (non-breakfast type) pizza? Its kind of a double standard as its less unusual to have bacon eggs and home fries for dinner.

It annoys me to no end fast food restaurants do not make their lunch/dinner menu available at all times. If i could I would go to Wendy's at 6am for a Cheeseburger and fries, i would. If Pizza Hut were open I would go there.

I am an early riser. Say the average person wakes up between 630 and 730 am, they would be ready for lunch between 11 and 12 pm. If i wake up at 4 am, I am ready for a lunch type meal by 830 or 9 am. One thing I do appreciate, there is a local convenience store chain that makes good pizza, they put out their first pepperoni pizza at 5am.

When I tell people about my breakfast habits, they are generally repulsed, they say something like "my stomach couldnt handle a meal like that for breakfast" My stomach does not keep time, my brain is in charge of that, and if i want a sirloin and mashed potatoes at 7 am thats what i will have.

Thats why I like Truck Stops, I can have french toast at 10 pm or a cheeseburger at 7 am.

I don't get it either. There is no such thing as "breakfast" or "dinner" foods. It's just that society has decided to arbitrarily label certain foods as appropriate for certain times. It's stupid. I just eat what I want when I want.

People also find it odd that I eat leftovers cold from the fridge rather than heating them up. Why bother? Most taste just as good cold as they do when heated.

Thats where i do draw the line. I took a food safety course in vocational school, i am now incredibly picky about food storage and reheating. I think meatloaf is better the next day, but i do heat it up in the toaster oven. I dont do microwaves.
