@arthurchappell Think of the show Seinfeld - Jerry was always eating cereals, whatever the time of day.

I always wonder if the 'Use by' date means that the item will explode if you try and consume it at 1 minute past midnight after that day.

Our youngest son is obsessed about that "Use by date".

@marlina The series Frasier used to have a running joke where Daphne, the carer-cook, would mention how long ago the date on a food item had expired and then ask the household if they wanted to risk it. There's a difference between 'Use by and 'Best before'. I'll risk going a day or so over with some ready meals, especially if I nuke them for an extra couple of minutes in the microwave, but I won't take chances with things like chicken, seafood or rice. Not sure if I'd risk it with something like @arthurchappell 's microwave All Day Breakfast as there would be egg and pork products in there.

@asfarasiknow I just threw out a container (half empty) of yogurt this morning, I didn't want to take a chance.

There is certain to be some EU regulation governing the times that certain foods can be consumed. I am now wondering whether I should report you for eating cornflakes outside of the set times.

You are so right. My favorite dinner is eggs sunny side up and fried potatoes sometimes with or without sausage. I remember a friend of mine who hated the tags on pillows that said - do not remove. She finally cut them off of two pillows and waited for the Pillow Police to get her but no one came

Arthur, there are people that combine breakfast and lunch and eat it before lunch time and call it brunch. I believe whenever one wants to eat their meal they do. I do not eat breakfast or lunch here when others do.

@arthurchappell Arthur, I try and eat two meals a day and when I finish what I am doing I eat breakfast and then around Noon time or so I eat lunch during the week. I start to take my medication after lunch and cannot eat anymore after that.

It does seem a bit of a silly term to put on a packet of food that you're going to microwave at home. I can understand a cafe telling us it does 'all day breakfasts' because then you know you can go in there and eat a bacon and egg fry up any time, but why do we need to be told what time we can eat something in our own homes? I used to wonder if the term meant a breakfast that can sustain you all day, but I've always found that whenever I opt for a cooked breakfast, for some strange reason I'm hungrier again more quickly than if I'd had a humble bowl of cereal.

Thank you for the smile. I hope your breakfast was not one of those awful ones they sell in the supermarket in tins, but the real deal with eggs and toast and beans and bacon and sausages and black pudding. Oh, and a tomato. I think this a very acceptable breakfast, dinner or tea, but think you should only unzip your bananas after midday. Personally, I quite often substitute Special K for any meal when I cannot be bothered to cook.

I think it jsut needs to say "eat and enjoy" that should take all the guess work out.

basically if someone wants to pay for it and eat it cafes, bars and restaurants should serve it up and get money for it

I had curry rice for breakfast. My middle school flute players (one Filipina, one Chinese/Japanese, one Japanese and one Korean said, "In our cultures food is just food, not for any special time of the day. Americans are funny for thinking there is some food we can't eat for breakfast."
