I’m obviously not talking a huge meal, or anything like that.

Im starting a new job next week and it means I lose a good hour in the morning. Im not going to have time to do the type of breakfast I do now (scrambled eggs, porridge etc.), so im just planning on taking some fruit and a protein shake on the bus, at least for the first week or so until I’ve learnt the ropes in terms of the commute.

Would you judge someone for doing that?

YABU - yes it’s grotty and you should just slam the protein shake before work

YANBU - don’t really care

Do they i mean they have a smell but hardly stink, unless they are over ripe.

They really do. The word food smell in my opinion.

I was raised never to eat on the street but if you sat down that was okay. You will be sitting down!

Honestly on public transport when I was young and sometimes now eating cheese kept me sane!

No one will notice.

I just don’t want to be a dick, basically.

Wouldn't bother me unless it was smelly or you slurped your drink or ate noisily!

I can't say bannana bothers me, I suppose everyone has their aversions.

Can you share the recipe please?

Sorry missed this.
This is what I do, I also do a variation with almond extract and chopped dried apricots which is delicious
