I admit that American conceptions of what counts as breakfast food can be very arbitrary:
"I had potatoes for breakfast"
"Well of course, that makes perfect sense"
"They were mashed"
"Stay away from me, serial killer. That's dinner food"
Now it is of course acceptable if you form leftover mashed potatoes into savory pancakes and fry them. That's obviously different.
"I had a sandwich/taco/burrito for breakfast"
*narrows eyes*
"there was egg/fried potatoes in it"
*smiles and gently nods*
lol
i am one of those humans that can eat any food for any meal at any time of the day
clearly i'm broken beyond repair
@samiamsam Well, many cultures don't have a concept of what you eat depending on the time of the day or the distinctions are there but much more subtle. And I think I'm weird for caring too much. Like I won't have restaurant leftovers for breakfast unless it's pizza. Gotta wait until lunch.

I have long since learned to take my lifestyle cues from my formerly feral cats. I figure, they survived bitterly cold winters, coyotes, wolves, and God knows what else, so they know what they're doing. They don't give one solitary eff what anyone thinks, including me. Couple of hoodlums. But they love each other.
@thomasjwebb what if I told you that you can curry oatmeal.
@kastope Interesting. Makes me think of curried baked beans. My kids sometimes have oatmeal in the style of Japanese rice porridge, with shoyu, furikake, seaweed. I suppose seaweed in oatmeal isn't unprecedented in Scottish cuisine, for that matter.
@thomasjwebb yes I have had seaweed in it.. but I had not made the jump thinking of it as just a different rice.
@thomasjwebb I put a whole orange sliced in half in my black beans.
