Erm, so just what is it with the dietary conditioning of our Teutonic friends?
Personally, I sometimes skip breakfast (all right, often), but I nearly always have a mid morning snack, then lunch, then a mid afternoon biscuit or several, and a hearty dinner. And throughout the day, copious and regular helpings of coffee.
But when I was staying with a German family recently, why was I always hungry at 12.00, despite having a big breakfast every day? And why did I always find myself wondering when lunch was going to be. On several occasions it got to 2.30 and then there were a few radishes and a meagre sandwich.
I thought it was just my luck of the draw, and that this particular family was unaware of how to eat, but talking to a friend who spent some time in Germany the other day, I find that she had the same lack-of-culinary experience.
Is this just two pieces of bad luck, or is it normal that people abstain from food during the day?
Tommo

off-topic: a few radishes and a meagre sandwich.
At the German family where I used to stay, seems they had always run out of meagre.

You should always beware that comfortable happy feeling.
It presages twilight and disquiet.
You may be at ease in the dark but just inhale.
What is that, that you can smell?
Are you content to spend the rest of your life in the basement?
With the rats?
And the unidentifiable shape, half-illuminated in the corner, that makes you think of your father?
And the belt.
And the dripping pipes.

Don't look like no viola to me. Is that man about to play the Bass Clarinet with his nose?!!   Obviously a Peruvian technique. Tommo |
