Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner
 
What is your favorite meal of the day? Breakfast, lunch, or dinner? It's dinner for me. I don't really eat breakfast. I mean, I'll eat cereal, a banana, or an apple, and orange juice, but that's about it. I pack a small lunch for work, and that's usually something small, like a sandwich, a salad, yogurt, and a water. I like dinner the best because there's so many things I enjoy eating, plus dinner is more filling to me.

Regular day? Dinner.

Weekends/Holidays? Brunch. I think Dallas is full of alcoholics, so brunch is always a spectacle lol

Dinner.
Most mornings, I'd generally rather sleep than eat.
At lunch, I'm thinking about what I have to do that afternoon.
So dinner is the meal most usually unaffected by other things yet to be done.

But on Saturdays, it's breakfast.

Fixed it for you. :p ("Dinner" means the main meal of the day, whether at mid-day or at night, and for lots of people in these parts, dinner traditionally = lunch.)

If you're talking about eating out, I love to eat breakfast out, and I particularly love anywhere that serves breakfast all day.

Otherwise, I'd have to say I prefer a really good lunch (dinner :p) and a light supper. No sandwiches at lunch -- I want a real meal.

I'm with you, except I make brunch at home and my husband goes to work after, so if there was a drunk spectacle at our brunch, it would be me. :p

Supper (according to MysticCat).
I dislike typical breakfast food and really really like to sleep so breakfast usually equals coffee and, on days when I wake up, a bagel.

Supper tends to be where I actually cook something that I want to eat.

However weekends, going out for brunch/lunch is amazing!

I don't have a preference because I eat whatever I want for any meal unless I'm eating with other people. What constitutes breakfast, lunch (or brunch), and supper is cultural. Not every culture has the type of breakfast food that many people in America consider breakfast.

Seafood and sushi are all day meals. Yumyumyumyumyumm....

Breakfast, definitely!

KSUViolet06 10-12-2011 03:11 PM

I feel like I'm the only person in the world who doesn't love breakfast foods. I actually hate 90% of them. I don't like breakfast sausage, eggs, orange juice, any sort of weird mushy breakfast thing like Cream of Wheat, grits, oatmeal, and pretty much every other breakfast item except MAYBE cereal. I don't like pancakes or waffles either. I stick to a bagel or some granola in the AM because I know I need to eat SOMETHING. When people suggest going out to eat for breakfast, I always order lunch food. Everyone has Grand Slams and I have a turkey burger. lol.

As far as the meal I like, I'm more of a lunch eater because I'm generally not hungry before 10 or 11 anyway.

Tulip86 10-12-2011 03:55 PM

Lunch. I love going out to lunch.

Supper is good too, but since I work at a restaurant I only eat supper two times a week.

I guess it would depend on the day for me, too. Weekends, it's different.

But that's like saying there's a difference between "Pop" and "Soda."

I'm all about brunch. Bring on the yummy breakfast food and mimosas!

LikeASista 10-12-2011 05:59 PM

Well, are we speaking of what time of day we like to eat or the choices of food we'd like to eat during a certain time of the day?

I have a weakness for breakfast foods, ... i.e., scrambled eggs, grits, omelets, pancakes, etc. But I hardly ever eat breakfast in the mornings. I'll wait 'til late evening to eat breakfast food, ... or midnight, ... or whenever I'm craving it (which is all the time ... :o).

Think I'll hit up IHOP now ...

Neither word ever passes my lips. :p

But no, it's not. Some days dinner is lunch. Some days dinner is supper. And in some parts of the country, it is assumed dinner means lunch unless otherwise specified.

I'm more of a breakfast person. The saying about it being the most important meal of the day is true. If I eat a filling breakfast, I'm usually not hungry until dinner. I skip lunch. I'll usually bring something to snack on, but not a full course lunch.
