Four Ways to Interpret Breakfast
Breakfast means different things to different people, as Reader's Digest points out.
For sumo wrestlers, it's a bulk-up food called chanko-nabe (chunky stew of vegetables, noodles, and meat or seafood). In rural Cambodia, school children digest morning lessons with a bowl of rice and split peas. The rest of us non-sumo wrestlers, non-Cambodians often hit up cereal (part of a $9 billion business) or a fruit smoothie.
Do you have a favorite breakfast specific to your lifestyle or region?
