This was my lunch today, poison in dumpling form:
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
MMmm...so good.

That looks good jman!
I always bring some kind of bar to snack on between breakfast and lunch. I just ate this Kelloggs 'fiber plus chew bar' which is basically a rice crispy treat w\ chocolate masquerading as a "healthy" snack.
We went out for a birthday dinner 2 nights ago. The dish that consists of Peking duck skin, cucumber, sauce and pancake wrap was heaven.
Easily one of the tastiest dishes I've ever had.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Right now I'm eating a candied apple. I swear it's been close to 20 years since I've had one. Wow...I suddenly feel very old.
I just had 1KG of udon for dinner. It looks like I've got a football in my stomach.

I had purple yam pudding for dessert last night. It was awesome.
It is basically mashed purple yam slowly cooked with condensed milk, coconut milk, butter and sugar. Yes, it is a purple mass of unhealthiness.
Peace.
Is that some sort of Chinese dessert or some other country?

The ingredients make me think of this Malaysian desert I've had. It was green and white.

It is called "ube halaya", and it is a Philippine dessert. Much like 94% of Philippine cuisine, it is quite bad for one's health. It was also tough to make. It took an hour of constant stirring during the cooking process to get it to thicken like a jam.
Peace.
Prawn noodles for breakfast.

That's your breakfast? When I think breakfast it's usually cereal because it's light enough for me to stomach first thing in the morning.
Comparatively, I think the Asian breakfasts are heavier. The usual fare would be congee, various flour based dishes, bread and toast, or other noodle variants. Rice is considered heavy and would usually be taken during lunch or dinner.Originally Posted by fahoumh

Really?!
I always considered Western breakfasts by far being the heavier.
Maybe it's just the people I encounter, since I only used to eat little amounts of cereal or a 1-2 meat buns for breakfast. Heavier Sunday breakfast was usually rice-noodle roles. Nowadays I don't even eat breakfast.
My white-Aussie friends eat things like 3-5 pieces of toast, bowls of cereal, maybe some bacon & eggs plus something to wash it down with.

Filipinos probably eat one of the heaviest breakfasts in the world.
A usual breakfast would be:
1) Fried garlic rice (with tons of oil, enough to make the rice glisten),
2) Fried (in oil, as if it doesn't have enough) Longanisa (sugar cured fatty pork sausage) or Tocino (sugar cured fatty pork slices) or maybe Tapa (cured beef)
3) Fried eggs (yes, fried again because eggs are almost always fried here).
4) Sometimes a salad of salted egg (go cholesterol!) and tomatoes.
If you are poor, and most Filipinos are unfortunately, 3 is replaced by fried (as expected) Tuyo (salted dried fish) or Daing (smoked dried fish). This is still quite unhealthy because of the insane amount of salt content.
Peace.
I'm gonna cast my vote for Mexicans having the potentially heaviest breakfasts.
"Migas and Fajitas" sounded good on the menu, but not after I carried it around inside me all day. It was more like a lunch/heavy dinner.
Edit:
Nevermind, the sound of all that makes me never want to eat again.Filipinos probably eat one of the heaviest breakfasts in the world.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I personally never eat that kind of breakfast though. I used to not eat breakfast at all, now I just eat a minimal amount of whole wheat cereal with skim milk.
Peace.
But eggs are cheap...
Anyway, I can't contribute anything here because Finns don't generally eat heavy breakfasts by any reckoning.
If you think about it, a standard breakfast from the south in the US isn't exactly light either.
Waffles or Pancake with syrup
Eggs
Bacon
I do notice that western cultures tend to eat more sweets during breakfast (maybe because sugar give fast energy). Asian breakfasts that i'm familiar with are more like pho noodles, and baguettes (vietnamese) meat dumplin, congee and a variety of other steamed foods (chinese) and the traditional Japanese breakfast which really doesn't differ from the other meals. I do notice that the Japanese only really eat Natto for breakfast, but that could just be my relatives who i was staying with in Japan.
Sorry, I meant 2.
Peace.
