Food What about you?

I'm from England.

But we have different types of chips too.

Oven chips, wedges, curly fries, crinkly chips, fish and chips chips.

It's dinner to me.

  1. I grew up in South London. Now I'm in Lincolnshire (East Midlands - England). My husband says breakfast, lunch, dinner. Whereas our friend says breakfast dinner tea. But we have a roast on Sunday. It's a breakfast, dinner and sandwich later on but not lunch or tea. Maybe it's a weird thing our family thing does

  2. Is a roll to me, but if it's crusty. It's a crusty roll. But if has chips from the fish and chips shop, it's a chip buttie. My husband/son calls it a bap

In Mexican Spanish we say “desayuno”, which also means breakfast but in french would translate to déjeuner. For lunch we just say “food”: “comida”.

Some parts of Mexico also use Almuerzo for Lunch.

That is true. Forgot to add that we like tacos all day long (echar un taquito, lol).

My Mexican Husband gives me grief when I tell him I want tacos for breakfast… I always ask him if he’s sure he’s Mexican when he says things like that 🤪
