far I don't think I like ready made meals in general I see them as emergency snacks I'm never satisfied with ready made, ive grown up on home made meals, and do the same for my kids. I know its convenient for many especially if working full time or even ill or fussy kdis but ive tried it and I cant do it.
skank I'm south Asian I just couldn't eat what you mentioned or any spicy food first thing. my husband has told me in Bangladesh (where my parents come from) some ppl do eat spicy food in the morning not just spicy I mean savoury as in foods we associate with lunch and dinner. It depends on their wealth. some folks have vermicelli with coconut, milk, spiced sugared water, sultanas thrown in, maybe even some date palm sugar. poor folks may have plain white rice because thats all theyve got until they catch lunch by the riverside.
I prefer toast, poached eggs tea .
When I was younger though on a sunday around 11am id be like a machine rolling out and cooking chappatis whilst my mum got a big pot of chicken or lamb with sweet pumpkin cooked. We'd have that before lunch, aww I loved that,not making it though id be there ages huge family id be eating last but I still loved it lool
I'm waiting for my kids to grow up into teens then I will replicate it ;)
I guess its just abnormal in the west, but its on par with a cooked English breaskfast ? Ppl have bacon tomatoes eggs, sausages as a sunday thing right? so not so weird I suppose.
