Are you really?

Yes. I eat far more items for breakfast that are considered to be “lunch” or “dinner” items than stereotypical “breakfast” ones. Who made up the rule that the first meal of the day had to consist of eggs, sausage, bacon, toast or cereal?

Alright some else that eats hot stuff for breakfast. I thought I was wrong for eating habanero salsa and chips for beakfast sometimes.
