It’s hilarious how people are so ingrained in their culture that these things affect them so much. Like if I ate a roast dinner for breakfast or took a shower every lunch time, I’d be considered a madman.
It sounds absolutely silly but really there’s few good reasons for most of our habits.
- mikelward 6y agoMy wife insists I'm not allowed to have curry for breakfast! :)
- phaemon 6y agoJust call it kedgeree!
- OJFord 6y agoWe'll wait, what are you calling 'curry'? Because British kedgeree (as kedgeree is) is distinct from what any Briton I know would call 'curry' - even given the disservice we do India by calling almost everything 'curry' - and further distinct even from khicadi (खिचड़ी) from which it takes its name, and moves to breakfast. Sorry, I know you were just joking.

- reaperducer 6y agoIt sounds absolutely silly but really there’s few good reasons for most of our habits. The sign of a seasoned traveler is someone who enjoys the quirks of various cultures, instead of ridiculing them. One of the things that dismays me about the European Union is that each country seems to be losing its identity. Ditto for the United States.
- porknubbins 6y agoWith my Anglo/American breakfast habits I was kind of shocked that traditional Japanese breakfast includes a full range of fish, rice, soup, salad and more or less anything else normally eaten. I probably feel as strongly about breakfast being mild or sweet flavors as Italians do for cappuccino after 11 and for no better reason.
- ThePreacherMan 6y agoYes. The Italians are utter dumbasses stuck to their ways for all things, but especially about food. I love mocking them by ordering/preparing strange things when I go there or they come and visit.
