Coffee. Unhealthy amounts of coffee.

Coffee is delicious though

Whatever they sell at nearest bakery in my village. It's very nice and always fresh.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 years ago

You have a local bakery. You're lucky.

Breakfast on weekdays is peanut butter on wholemeal toast. With a huge cup of coffee.

Throughout the day I drink water flavoured by raspberries and blueberries.

Dinner (or lunch to the rest of the English speaking world, I'm from northern England) is a chickpea and mixed vegetable salad I prep for the week on Sunday.

Tea (main evening meal) is normally a pie or something breaded like a Kiev or fish served with chips (chunky fries) and mixed frozen vegetables. Then Greek yoghurt with mashed frozen raspberries and blueberries for dessert.

As a snack most days some digestive biscuits with a cup of tea (what's normally called breakfast tea).

Saturdays I skip breakfast and have a bacon sandwich for dinner.

Once a month I order a huge calzone for tea on a Saturday (my local takeaway calls it the Monster, it has every kind of meat they serve in it) which I dunk in mayonnaise and pig out on whilst drinking a Doombar. Then I have another Doombar whilst smoking a cigar afterwards. Normally there's enough calzone left for food the following day.

This... what?

I've never heard of these Northern English pecularities. Fascinating.

Cheese. I'm pretty sure I never go a day without eating some cheese. Cheese is the best.

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

I eat like I'm in an apocalypse survival game. What did my survivor find to eat today? Ooh, root beer and string cheese.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Unsweetened Greek yogurt with berries and granola for breakfast or a bagel and a hard boiled egg

Lunch: whatever leftovers I packed from dinner yesterday

Dinner: tacos, pasta, burgers, steak, sandwiches, wraps, or if I’m feeling lazy a bagel and cream cheese

[–] artaxthehappyhorse@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Breakfast: Black tea with oat milk, oatmeal with peanut butter blueberries, and a touch of cinnamon and sugar.

Lunch: water, and a bunch of frozen fried garbage that I tossed in the oven and smothered in ketchup and ranch dressing.

Dinner: water, a microwave rice and lentil packet, and all the following separately sauteed, seasoned, then combined: lions mane mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli. Produce was from farmers market except tomatoes from my garden.

Lentils and rice are so easy and so much better on the stove. I get it if it’s too much hassle, but you’re already going to so much trouble. I tend to cook for a few meals at once, so I’ll do a cup of rice, two chopped up carrots, vegetable bouillon, and all the necessary water, then after that’s cooked for ten minutes, I’ll add the lentils, and cook until they’re done. Check cook times to get the timing right.

The carrot is there because it makes an enormous difference for lentils- lentils need carrots like pasta needs salt.

Liquids include hydrochloric acid and piss too.

I didn't want to say it. Thank you for being braver than I am

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

Water.

Other than that I have a hard time eating consistently, the most likely is probably bread though.

[–] lupercalia@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At 8 o’clock in the morning, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. At 10 o’clock, I’ll have fish. At 12 o’clock, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. At 2 o’clock, I’ll have fish. At 4 o’clock, just before I train, I’ll have fish and a rice cake. I’ll train and I’ll have me fish and I’ll come home, have some more fish with a rice cake and then have some fish before I go to bed and that’s it for the day.

I get to work and make myself a toasted bagel sandwich with jam and vegan cream cheese. I also make a flask of earl grey tea with a teaspoon of sugar. Lunch is often a veggie burrito. Dinner depends. Usually stew or curry or stir fry.

[–] hASHfunction@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

what cream cheese do you use? I'm severely lactose intolerant and I haven't found a decent one yet

I prefer to eat freshly cooked What I, but the canned ones are pretty good as well

[–] hellequin67@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Water is my go to drink all day every day.

I dont really have a daily food go to.

[–] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm part of a veg co-op so get amazing, locally grown veg pretty cheap. So I'm eating very seasonally lately and it's nice. Last week was an aubergine glut so I made baba ganoush. This week we get squashes for the first time this year, I'm excited!

[–] AlexSup21@iusearchlinux.fyi 5 points 2 years ago

A homemade sandwich with a glass of water.

[–] MacroCyclo@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Is anyone else going through and guessing at where people are from?

All the cheese people I'm guessing are either French or from the American Midwest (the former eating significantly different cheese than the latter). The tea people are probably British. Peanut Butter is likely a North America only thing.

Way more diet coke than can possibly be healthy for me...

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fuck yeah. Diet Coke, Black Coffee, and Water are the 3 constants in my life.

Soylent and water. Food for an actual meal is different every day though, I like variety

Eat what I can, drink water.

[–] raubarno@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tea (either black tea or some native herbal tea) and wholemeal cookies, sometimes sandwiches with sausage or peanut butter or sweet equivalent, pasta with minced pork and ketchup, etc.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

Tea drinkers unite

[–] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm on a diet now for about a month. Only drink water and coffee.

I eat 1 big meal a day. Low calories and if possible low on carbs. So lots of vegetables, replaced potatoes with cauliflower and mostly chicken breast.

As dessert yogurt with a little bit of fresh food.
