Episode Notes
Hey, good morning, Ed.
Good morning, Les. What's going on?
Uh, I was just finishing up on my breakfast.
Oo, what'd you have?
You won't believe what I had for breakfast. Okay, number one, I have natto.
That's very Japanese of you. Yes, I believe you. That
with an oni giddy. My my wife told me it's a better source of calcium than most of the other stuff that I'm doing. Uh, then I have a muffin. Uh, you know those what do they call those? English muffins with Peanut butter. I love that. And then I have
weird contradiction there. You're going from super Japanese food to super western food.
I eat what I like.
And then I have musli
yogurt.
Now you're in Germany having a German breakfast.
Hey, I'm I'm almighty. How about you
out there? Oh. Uh, what did I just have? I had we had a sandwich. Had sandwiches.
That doesn't sound like breakfast. Um, are you going to be North American and tell me that breakfast has a specific look to it?
You're saying?
Well, uh, no. We just had, um, uh, ham, uh, ham, cabbage, just ham and cabbage, I think. Mustard, mayo.
Yep.
Mustard, mayo, ham, and cabbage. And banana and yogurt and tea.
Do you have a sort of set breakfast? Breakfast every day?
Nope. No. But
so you
Yeah. I always have a cup of tea. Uh Cheru always has a cup of coffee. The kids have milk. And then we either I mean it's either rice, bread or cereal,
right?
Typically one of those three. If it's rice, we might have it with natto or tofu or salad or soup.
Okay.
If it's if it's bread and we have a a western style soup like a chicken soup, or something. Then we'll have bread and soup.
Wow. Savory.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh if it's cereal, we might have cereal with yogurt. We always have fruit, I guess. So, the set the set part would be the drinks and there's always some form of fruit,
but you've got a kind of a a a plan there that you just mix and match every day.
Yeah. And and uh there should always be a carb, but not I mean, in your case, sounds like you had about three different carbs there, which is a little carb heavy. Um,
what? Rice, rice, and an English muffin. And yeah, rice and an English muffin. So, you had bread and rice. It's a little heavy.
Is that bad for your health? I never thought about that.
And musli
and musli.
It's just interesting that you had three three different carbohydrates in one meal, which is
Well, but it's interesting.
The reason the way I got there is I want to have the the natto.
Yeah.
Because I want to get the what do you call it? The microbiotics.
Yeah. Yeah.
The the bacteria,
probiotics,
whatever they are. Yeah.
Like yogurt.
I want to get calciumed.
Fermentation. Fermented uh beans.
Fermented food is supposed to be really good for you. Yeah.
Yeah.
So then I I I I don't want to eat just plain natto. It does it doesn't, you know, make me happy. So I have the rice. That's my only giddy. The English muffin is pure pleasure
with peanut butter.
I love it
with peanut butter.
With with bean I I'd have jam, but jam's expensive. Peanut butter goes farther.
I'll tell you my secret source for good jam later.
Okay, thanks. And then I use the musli because I honestly believe it's really healthy for you.
Well, musli is full of a lot of fiber and a lot of different grains and things. So, yeah, it's it's very healthy.
Yeah.
Um,
and I get more probiotics with the yogurt.
That's I mean everything you're eating is just good for your gut.
Good for your gut.
Um, no. My my family growing up and and my philosophy now has always been breakfast, lunch, dinner should be three different carbs.
Oh, really?
That's sort of just it's just a general idea we have that we shouldn't have like noodles, noodles, noodles or bread, bread, bread. It's just too much of the same thing. And one day it's variety is good.
Yeah. diet is good. I agree with you there.
So, I'd say typically we never have noodles for breakfast. That's not really a typical breakfast thing.
Well, this is what I'm coming back to.
You do have an idea of what's a breakfast thing and what's not.
Yeah,
a little bit.
It might be wider than Mike.
I don't have that idea. It's just that noodles never happen to come up at at breakfast for us.
Yeah.
It's not But I feel like North Americans have a set image. of breakfast that it should be sweet and include pork and eggs.
Okay. For me, growing up, breakfast was cereal and toast.
And I was very narrow when I came to Japan.
Sweet.
Cereal and are sweet things. Yeah. They're not savory.
The toast is savory. If you get peanut butter, well, peanut butter is kind of Swedish
if the toast is savory. if it's a sandwich or if you put a scrambled egg on it or something. But anyway,
okay.
Yeah. Breakfast.
Breakfast. Breakfast. Good breakfast. I gotta go brush my teeth.
Okay. I better get going. I've got a lot of work to do today.
All right. See you later.
Okay. Thanks a lot. Bye. Bye.
Bye.
