Our mom would have things like burger patties, grilled cheese sandwiches, or ham and cheese sandwiches for breakfast. So I got used to eating more substantial meals in the morning. Today, I eat anything anytime. If I want soup for breakfast and pancakes for supper, so be it. I like "breakfast foods" for supper. [Here in the south, most of us have dinner at midday and supper at night.]

I had pancakes for dinner last night. A lot of mornings breakfast is left overs for the night before.

Actually "western civilization" as we know it, is unique in having "breakfast" foods per se. Most of the rest of the world eats the same type of food for each meal.

SO and I are pretty much traditional meals, but a lot of time nothing sounds that good for dinner, so we have cereal. I had a sister that loved cold spaghetti mashed up on toast.

That was a farm thing, too. Farmers usually have more time to spend at meals at noon, whereas in the morning and evening, there are milking chores to do, and they don't have time to sit around and enjoy their food.

When my cousin got married, the invitation said, "Wedding supper at 6:00 PM." And that was in St. Paul MN.

my dh was the same...now that I am alone.....I eat when I'm hungry or just pick at something to fill the void....and yes, children, g-kids, and now gg and I will enjoy a pasta dish as mentioned above too! But, I do sort of keep certain foods for certain times of day....usually the heaviest " meal" is midday...evening (supper) the lightest.

After being on a night schedule for many years, I can eat anything anytime, with the exception of anything tomato-y. If I eat (say) spaghetti before bedtime, it gives me indigestion big-time. I'll wake up ON FIRE. Anything tomato-y has to be eaten early in my day.

I *love* breakfast for supper, or any other time of day!

Nothing to eat until after 3pm? I actually must have coffee and toast, cookie, pop tart first thing in morning...stomach is empty and growling...after feeding the beast..I can do the rest of the day however. But I would think no food in stomach all day while those stomach acids are churning up in there could lead to ulcers.....but to each his own...

Pizza makes a wonderful breakfast. I do mostly eat traditional breakfast type foods for breakfast. But if there is something good in the refrigerator there isn't any reason to not eat it for breakfast or dinner or whenever. My DH favorite breakfast is left over spaghetti and meat sauce. My kids favorite dinner was always breakfast for dinner.

I started eating Chili for breakfast when I was 15. Still one of my favorite breakfast foods, right up there with pizza.
