people that won't eat/drink something because of the time
Discussion
at work the other day, took my lunch early, 11am - was heating up a home made chicken curry in the office kitchen.
i must have had the same exchange with 5 different colleagues.
them: "ohhh that smells nice, what is it?"
Me: "chicken curry"
Them: "urgh, its not even midday, how can you eat that now?"
just now, me and the Other half are working from home.. i asked her if she wanted some mint choc ice cream as i fancied a bowl... she looked at me like i'd suggested cutting up her mother and poaching her.
Surely if you're hungry and xx is available, and you fancy it, what f
king difference does it make what time it is!?
who's the weirdo here? them or me

On a Friday morning at work, I enjoy nipping out to the deli and having a piri piri chicken and cheese panini for breakfast.
It disgusts people. It tastes amazing
I had an 8am meeting with my line manager who's a veggie and quite a health freak - i hadn't had time to grab breakfast so i heated up what i'd taken in for my lunch (pizza from the night before).It disgusts people. It tastes amazing
80% of my motivation was hunger.
20% was to see the look on his face when i came into the meeting room (it was just me and him) with 4 slices of dirty takeaway pizza at 8am

it went down exactly how i had imagined.

In India they eat all that Indian shizzle for breakfast; 1.339 Billion people can't be wrong
One of the joys of my frequent visits to India is the ability to eat 'curry' for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I just love Asian hotel breakfast buffets - we were in Thailand for New Year, and I got to eat dosa, chola, noodles, dim sum, fried rice, etc every morning - bliss.I'll always make a point of ordering too much Thai/Indian/Chinese when we have a takeaway to ensure sufficient for breakfast the next day. I will also order an extra Lamb shish for the same reason if we're doing kebabs.
I'm definitely with the OP on this. Saying certain foods should only be eaten at certain times makes no sense at all.
A chicken wrap with some lettuce and tomatoes (for example) for breakfast would be met with all sorts of comments, yet somehow a plate of sausages, bacon, eggs, hash browns, beans, fried bread, fried mushrooms and tomatoes all swimming in grease is perfectly ok and 'traditional'.

An odd thing on my wife's side of the family. A drink, coffee, tea etc is an activity in it's own right. Not to be combined with food, reading, telephone conversation, getting changed or general pottering.
An (ex colleague) was unable to have a telephone conversation without a cigarette. I suppose in the 21st C, she'll either be retired or vapeing like a steam train.

Typical 3 meals a day brigade, set in their ways.
Eat what you want whenever you want and ignore what anyone else says regarding the matter.
Although I did once struggle to stomach cold coagulated beef ragu leftover from the night before straight out of the fridge at 7am five minutes after waking up.

In my old job, I sometimes started at 6am. Not very often, as I hated getting up so early.
The odd time I did it, a guy who was into weightlifting would microwave a meal, fish and broccoli.
At 530 IN THE MORNING!
I don't know if it was a daily occurrence, god it stunk though, at that time in the canteen.
