I’m currently in the US staying with my girlfriend (we’re in a long-distance relationship) and her family. Been here for a month, have 2 more to go. Where I’m from (Romania) “breakfast foods” are not a thing. Breakfast is a full, proper meal just like lunch and dinner. Since being here, I haven’t been able to get accustomed to the concept of “breakfast foods”. Cereal, pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs, toast, sandwiches, etc. These are like side dishes or snacks to me. I just don’t feel sated. Gave up on that. Now I’m back to eating what I normally do for breakfast: steak, pasta, rice, soup, stew, chicken, fish/seafood, etc.

    Yeah, I feel like where in from we just eat whatever whenever, the concept of “oh you can’t have that, it’s a breakfast food” or any other meal food… just seems dumb x3

      Am Asian American, I think Asians are similar. What is Asian breakfast food anyway lol Maybe congee?🤔 My parents were immigrants, we never grew up with the concept of certain foods being designated for breakfast. I’d occasionally have cereal or eggs, but that’s a learned custom

      As an aside, eating sweets for breakfast is weird to me. I mean I’ll eat it if it’s there, but it doesn’t feel right xD
