  1. Awesome stuff! Greg always hitting my questions just right be them complex or mundane... xD It's more or less what I expected. Older people, more traditional, families, or just people with a bit more time goes more towards traditional breakfast, kids eat whatever, people who have to hurry to work usually don't eat anything. xD And this just changes over the years. I guess most modern societies works that ways... unless it's tied to religion, very strong cultural backgrounds, or some sort of more formal ritual, it's just the way it goes. Here where I live, I wouldn't say there is a strong cultural breakfast of sorts since we are very multicultural, but when it was me, dad and mom it used to be bread, butter, piece of cheese, perhaps some bologna or ham, chocolate milk or coffee milk, piece of fruit. Sometimes oj, sometimes boiled egg, sometimes cereal. All pretty western. Very much what japanese hotels call western breakfast. xD There's a southern states tradition that several hotels and some fancy bakeries adopted - colonial breakfast. It's basically overpowered western breakfast with not only the basics but also all the extra american stuff like bacon, eggs, jam, etc... plus some other brazilian stuff made of corn and cassava, plus all sorts of bread, cake, and whatnot. But me living by myself, it's a cup of espresso, and a cup of lactose free milk (also intolerant here) and choco, with a whole bunch of stuff for health. Oat bran, honey, propolis when available, granola. It's less about sitting down to have a meal, and more about shoving the essencials in fast. xD Coffee to wake up and satiate the addiction, I still need milk for calcium, oat bran regulates my gastritis, and the rest is for cold prevention. I only go back to really sitting down to eat breakfast when I'm visiting relatives... Anyways, nice one Greg! Always interesting to see real everyday life stuff about people in Japan... it helps demystify things! :D
