Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  "Breakfast" foods.  First off, for some odd reason, I hate all traditional American breakfast foods.  It's so weird that I would hate all of them, but it's like someone put some kind of curse on me where it makes me hate any food that is universally agreed upon to be traditional breakfast food.  So, I'm talkin' about waffles, pancakes, eggs prepared in any way other than hard-boiled, ham, bacon, sausage, hash browns, etc.  I can kind of tolerate some of those on their own, but mixed together, like in a big restaurant breakfast entree... *shudders*... ugh.    The worst is any kind of breakfast sandwich or burrito.  The absolute worst is the beloved Egg McMuffin.  The smell alone makes me want to vomit.  Imagining the smell can actually make me queasy.

But that's not really what grinds my gears.  I don't like those foods, but I don't care if you do.  Their existence doesn't offend me.  Eat 'em til you explode.  Doesn't make any difference to me.  What grinds my gears is just the arbitrary assignments that we give foods--i.e. breakfast foods, lunch foods, and dinner foods.  If I were to eat a cheeseburger for breakfast, some folks might give me guff for it because that's not "breakfast food".  Some would say it's too heavy or too savory or something.  So... waffles and pancakes dripping with butter and syrup, and an omelet packed with eggs, ham, sausage, bacon, and cheese is fine, but a burger is not.  Okaaay.  The f*ck??  And then if you want to have those foods for dinner, then you have to call it "breakfast for dinner" like it's some kind of special event.

I hate these arbitrary time-of-day assignments for food types.  Well, lemmie tell you something--there's no such thing as "breakfast food", "lunch food", and "dinner food"; there's just food.  Eat any of it any time you want.  End of story.
