From what I've gathered, this is the typical German meal plan for the day: Breakfast = cereal or bread with cheese/meat or cheese and meat. Lunch = something warm, like spaghetti, rice, sausage... etc. Dinner = Bread with cheese/meat or cheese and meat. And the bread here is much different (I think better :P) than back at home. You can either eat it in buns or a loaf too but it's a lot different. I guarantee you that if you came to Germany for a long period of time and lived with a German family they would ask you the following: Do you cook for lunch or dinner? Well. This is a difficult question to answer seeing that we don't have 'Abendbrot' (dinner of bread and cheese) everyday, and at least for me, I don't have a very scheduled eating... schedule. I normally just eat what I want when I want. If I see some KD in the cupboard and I'm craving it... I'm eating it! I don't care what time it is. If I want to be fa
ncy and make something cool.. that's what I'll do! If I feel like making a sandwich... well okay you get the point. And even if you do have a schedule.. it's much different! So when asked when we eat Brot (bread and cheese which is twice a day here)... well first of all, we don't do that. That was a lost cause before i even started to answer. Anywho, I guess the moral of the story is... don't try to explain to a German how we eat in Canada (or the US for that matter) because it will not be easy! Maybe I'll make a presentation and show it next time I'm asked.P.S. After posting this note I went to a birthday party of my second host Dad. I was asked there by a woman I had met: 'Do you cook for lunch or dinner?'. I swear, this concept will forever be lost on the German people. I'll keep trying though ;)
