okay i was trying to ignore the Brit banter but JELLIED EEL? Lord have mercy.

I try to only eat when I'm hungry. I live with a foodie. His favorite topic is what he plans to eat next.

I'm another one of those whenever people. Coffee come first and foremost!
Usually Dinner is after 5 sometime... Breakfas is totally optional as is lunch.

I prefer grazing, fruit, veggies, or whatever I made that's left over which is usually healthyunless I was on a baking spree..

We are more flexible since retirement. Usually we like to have breakfast after we have had a couple coups of coffee and read the paper: that is around 7:30 or 8am depending on how busy our day is going to be: lunch anywhere around noon, but sometimes a little later and dinner: well, I would love to eat early, get kitchen cleaned and enjoy the TV for a few hours but it never seems to work that way: we eat anywhere from 6 to about 7pm. weekends it is just 3 meals: a late, huge breakfast on Saturdays and a little smaller one on Sun. but still big, We don't get home from church until about 10 or 10:30. Dinner is between 4pm and 5pm. Sometimes spoiled brat will fix himself pop corn in the PM or I will throw a few appetizers together about 2pm.

When does he want to eat? (And don't ever send him to Spain--they eat dinner at, like, 10pm ) I don't get home from work until after 6, and then if I run errands or workout after work I'm not eating dinner until later than that.

My dad used to say, "I eat when I'm hungry; I drink when I'm dry. If hard work don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die."


That wasn't true. He, like most Midwestern people, liked to have his meals by the clock.


I just looked that little verse up to find out when he'd gotten it and I see it's an old Celtic verse from "The Moonshiner." Now I'm mystified where he picked that up. And I notice he changed the reference from drinking to hard work!


"I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home
And if you don't like me, well, leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
And the moonshine don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die."


Since we retired and the kids moved out we have the luxury of eating when we feel like it. DH is a grazer - lots of little munching all day. I'm a one meal and a snack person.

I was in Mexico at Christmas last year and my landlord and his wife invited me to Christmas Eve dinner. We ate at midnight! They were from Italy.


My father would have fainted before hors d' oeuvres were served.

My kids are very hungry when they get home from school and my husband gets home at 4, so me eat dinner kinda early compared to most.

I don't have set times for eating. I hardly ever eat breakfast, unless I have to get up before 7. Lunch is sometume between 11 and 2, and dinner is sometime after 7. It depends when my SO gets home from work. He works in the tax department, and has been having to work late. We always eat dinner together, so dinner is whenever we are both home in the evening.

Husband makes himself breakfast whenever he gets up, after he's had his coffee. Anywhere from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. If I have to get up in the 'middle of the night' to go potty, the smell makes me nauseous (usually just bacon and eggs or something simple - nothing out of the ordinary. The smell just gets to me.)
If I cook dinner, it's usually ready by 5 p.m. I haven't been cooking the past few weeks. Depression has been holding me hostage since I left my job.

Breakfast: 05:40, when I'm up and out of the shower
Lunch: varies; I'd like to have it around 11:00-11:30 but my work lunch break starts at about 10:30, and on Sunday if I go to church that pushes it back to around noon.
Supper: 17:30, sometimes a little earlier or later

I also like to have a snack at around 08:30 and 14:30.
