Best meal of the day: Second Breakfast→[More:]
I just had a fry up that would make my Scottish dad proud: last night's potatoes, mushrooms, tomato and egg. So satisfying.
We have, or had, SIX meals, actually - śniadanie (breakfast), drugie śniadanie (second breakfast), obiad (the main meal of the day, around 3 o'clock), podwieczorek (afternoon tea, sort of), kolacja (a light supper), and podkurek (literally, "before the cock crows"). No one has eaten podkurek in 50 years, and podwieczorek is a thing of the past as well - but something called lunch has arrived and is quite trendy.
When I have to go out in the morning, usually for a doctor's appointment, I usually pick up McD's for second breakfast if I can get there before 10:30 a.m. That late in the day it's also lunch.
