Just curious about how different cultures buy/prepare/eat food. I'd love to know where you're from and what you would typically eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner.

So a mars bar is a deep fried pizza,I’m liking that more than anything. Here in an America a mars bar is a huge candy bar. But Americans fry everything so it would be a deep fried mars bar.

What?

@AmIthatSpringy Wild haggis I hope! Dread to think what they feed the farmed ones.

I had to google mealie Jimmies and discovered it is white pudding, one of my favourites.

I've got white pudding in the fridge right now which I'm going to use to stuff a chicken with.

What part of the country calls it Mealy Jimmies?

Devianinc · 17/03/2025 23:04

At fairs they do deep fried Oreos and there just disgusting greasy now soft cookies. I don’t get why anyone would like them. But they’re a hit

When I was little we used to catch snappers off the docks when the water was so polluted and you’d gut them, scale them then dip in flour and fry in butter. Heaven. Now to think snappers turn into horrible oily fish and I can’t even smell they’re so fishy. It’s amazing that they were the same fish. Wasn’t sp polluted

London. In mythology:

Breakfast: Tea & toast
Lunch: any sandwich or sausage roll, sarsaparilla, tea, crisps and a Tottenham cake.
Dinner: Pie (meat unknown), mash, green liquor, jellied eels, doused in vinegar & served with a pint of Watney's.

Reality: small bowl of muesli and a cup of tea.
Lunch: sandwich or wrap with salad & tuna/cheese/ham/corned beef, crisps, fruit and a KitKat (so not much difference).
Dinner: something vegetarian when DD is home, otherwise it's "something with veg" like a kyiv, steak or pork chop.

Fizbosshoes · 18/03/2025 08:53

I'm from MN and couldn't possibly manage breakfast, lunch and dinner in the same week day! 😄🥗

For Breakfast we eat coal before heading T'Mill
Lunch is a punch in the face from The overseer
After walking home uphill inT'Snow (even in July) we eat whatever leftovers the whippet hasn't already eaten.
