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.

    american here. we definitely have 3 distinct categories of food that are “proper” for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. there is some overlap, but its culturally obvious which foods are for which meals (it doesnt seem weird to me, but i can see how that is weird to everyone else).

    my wife doesnt like breakfast foods and eats things like instant ramen and a coke for breakfast - this is considered very strange here. i still think its weird, and we have been together for 18 years, heh.

    edit: oh, lol… i didnt answer the question. breakfast is my favorite meal. biscuits & gravy and breakfast burritos are my favorites <3

      Second breakfast burritos. A good one is definitely filling, tasty, and has all types of stuff (veggies, protein, carbs, dairy) in it.
