Coffee. Unhealthy amounts of coffee.

Coffee is delicious though

Whatever they sell at nearest bakery in my village. It's very nice and always fresh.

You have a local bakery. You're lucky.

Breakfast on weekdays is peanut butter on wholemeal toast. With a huge cup of coffee.

Throughout the day I drink water flavoured by raspberries and blueberries.

Dinner (or lunch to the rest of the English speaking world, I'm from northern England) is a chickpea and mixed vegetable salad I prep for the week on Sunday.

Tea (main evening meal) is normally a pie or something breaded like a Kiev or fish served with chips (chunky fries) and mixed frozen vegetables. Then Greek yoghurt with mashed frozen raspberries and blueberries for dessert.

As a snack most days some digestive biscuits with a cup of tea (what's normally called breakfast tea).

Saturdays I skip breakfast and have a bacon sandwich for dinner.

Once a month I order a huge calzone for tea on a Saturday (my local takeaway calls it the Monster, it has every kind of meat they serve in it) which I dunk in mayonnaise and pig out on whilst drinking a Doombar. Then I have another Doombar whilst smoking a cigar afterwards. Normally there's enough calzone left for food the following day.

This... what?

I've never heard of these Northern English pecularities. Fascinating.

I eat like I'm in an apocalypse survival game. What did my survivor find to eat today? Ooh, root beer and string cheese.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Cheese. I'm pretty sure I never go a day without eating some cheese. Cheese is the best.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Unsweetened Greek yogurt with berries and granola for breakfast or a bagel and a hard boiled egg

Lunch: whatever leftovers I packed from dinner yesterday

Dinner: tacos, pasta, burgers, steak, sandwiches, wraps, or if I’m feeling lazy a bagel and cream cheese

Breakfast is almost ALWAYS toast with crunchy peanut butter and honey on it.

Breakfast: Black tea with oat milk, oatmeal with peanut butter blueberries, and a touch of cinnamon and sugar.

Lunch: water, and a bunch of frozen fried garbage that I tossed in the oven and smothered in ketchup and ranch dressing.

Dinner: water, a microwave rice and lentil packet, and all the following separately sauteed, seasoned, then combined: lions mane mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli. Produce was from farmers market except tomatoes from my garden.

Lentils and rice are so easy and so much better on the stove. I get it if it’s too much hassle, but you’re already going to so much trouble. I tend to cook for a few meals at once, so I’ll do a cup of rice, two chopped up carrots, vegetable bouillon, and all the necessary water, then after that’s cooked for ten minutes, I’ll add the lentils, and cook until they’re done. Check cook times to get the timing right.

The carrot is there because it makes an enormous difference for lentils- lentils need carrots like pasta needs salt.

At 8 o’clock in the morning, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. At 10 o’clock, I’ll have fish. At 12 o’clock, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. At 2 o’clock, I’ll have fish. At 4 o’clock, just before I train, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. I’ll train and I’ll have me fish and I’ll come home, have some more fish with a rice cake and then have some fish before I go to bed and that’s it for the day.

I prefer to eat freshly cooked What I, but the canned ones are pretty good as well

I get to work and make myself a toasted bagel sandwich with jam and vegan cream cheese. I also make a flask of earl grey tea with a teaspoon of sugar. Lunch is often a veggie burrito. Dinner depends. Usually stew or curry or stir fry.

Water.

Other than that I have a hard time eating consistently, the most likely is probably bread though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Water is my go to drink all day every day.

I dont really have a daily food go to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

A homemade sandwich with a glass of water.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tea (either black tea or some native herbal tea) and wholemeal cookies, sometimes sandwiches with sausage or peanut butter or sweet equivalent, pasta with minced pork and ketchup, etc.

There will always be cheese on my toasts for breakfast. If there isn't, it's because I'm eating a grilled cheese sandwich instead.

Soylent and water. Food for an actual meal is different every day though, I like variety

Rolled oats with either yogurt or milk for breakfast, 9 out of ten days, and 2 L of water during the day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

After switching to steel cut oats, I've never been able to go back to rolled oats

I'm part of a veg co-op so get amazing, locally grown veg pretty cheap. So I'm eating very seasonally lately and it's nice. Last week was an aubergine glut so I made baba ganoush. This week we get squashes for the first time this year, I'm excited!

Is anyone else going through and guessing at where people are from?

All the cheese people I'm guessing are either French or from the American Midwest (the former eating significantly different cheese than the latter). The tea people are probably British. Peanut Butter is likely a North America only thing.

Breakfast: Müsli or bread with Nutella, oatmilk

Lunch: Sandwich, yogurt, maybe something on the side like olives, caprese salad, whatever I fancy

Dinner: I cook something, preferably enough for two days or just some spaghetti or frozen pizza if I’m lazy.

Throughout the day I drink tea, iced tea and water
