[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 727580, member: 1963"] Lol, Susie. I happened to have leftover steak for breakfast today, along with oatmeal (lightly salted), and a few dried apricots. Steak was very rare. That's the only way I'll eat it. I barely eat burger any more because of the safety issues and my not liking it well-done. Sort of grazed for lunch. Some cheese. A hardboiled egg. A few greek olives. A clementine, and part of a piece of garlic tandoori naan (bread). Haven't figured out dinner yet. In my culture, sausages are sort of a whenever food, but we traditionally eat a much larger variety of sausages than the typical American family. Funny story, remembering that I grew up in a Jewish household. When I went to Germany, I was thrilled to have the original versions of many "Doytch" sausages I'd grown up eating from the Kosher deli. Imagine my surprise when all of them tasted distinctly weird! Took a bit to figure out it was because the REAL sausages were, and had always been,made of pork, NOT the BEEF the Kosher versions I'd been eating were made of! I grew to enjoy them once I got used to the difference in base flavor. I also grew up not eating dairy and meat together when I was young, so it was many years before I could enjoy a Reuben sandwich. Ham and cheese, fine. But corned beef and cheese was just weird. And my grandmother told me the reason shellfish made me deathly ill was because they were "treyf" (not Kosher). My mother, who at 83 yrs of age, has still never eaten pork or shellfish/molluscs of any kind, unloaded on her. I'm not allergic to molluscs. I've tried oysters and calamari. I don't like them, but I'm not allergic to them. I do use oyster sauce in cooking. I HAVE to have heavy duty protein when I wake up, so I go for meat, eggs, fish, or cheese...sometimes peanut butter. But I don't link any food to any time of day. I eat what I want when I want it. By time I was in my twenties and doing a lot of hiking, the triad of dried sausage, hard cheese, a piece of fruit and a hunk of hard bread, was a staple hiking lunch, both here and in Germany.
