Redditor harrypotterfan04 wanted to discuss the extent of the breakfast menu.
"What is a traditional breakfast item in your culture?"
Any breakfast food does it for me. American style, teach me about some new eats.
Oh Man
Chai Masala GIFGiphy"Paratha (flat unleavened bread) with tea."

"Oh gosh paratha with spicy dal and chai… oh man."

Classics
"Biscuits and gravy (gravy can have sausage or just be regular Sawmill gravy)."
mamalea68
"I have an English co-worker I introduced biscuits and gravy to when she came to Texas. She loved it so much she makes it at home. Took a minute to get past the fact that both 'biscuits' and 'gravy' means different things here."

"Buttermilk biscuits look like your version of scones but they’re soft and fluffy inside and taste buttery. They’re delicious warm with butter and jam or with southern sausage gravy, hence, biscuits and gravy."

Not Disappointed
"Simple steamed cakes made from a rice and black gram flour... we call it IDLIS. Usually have it with a side of Chutneys (coconuts, onions or coriander leaves ground into a paste and seasoned)."

"Yup expected this and wasn’t disappointed. Though India does have a billion kinds of dishes for every time of the day. But that’s the best part! (I say while sipping my chai with namkeen)."

A Nice Mix
"Nasi lemak ( coconut milk rice served with a spicy chili paste, crispy fried anchovies, roasted peanuts, cucumbers and a hard boiled egg) and teh tarik (frothy, milky, pulled tea)."

"Kaya toast (coconut jam spread on toast with slabs of butter) + soft boiled eggs (drizzled with dark soy sauce and pepper) + teh c siew dai (tea with evaporated milk and less sugar)."

I'm Hashed!
Food Reaction GIF by SpongeBob SquarePantsGiphy"Scrapple, or corned beef hash."
Devilcactus
"OMG MY DAD LOVES CORNED BEEF HASH! I used to eat it when I was little but it was from a restaurant that stoped selling it years and years ago. I'd love to make it for my dad but I have no idea what its made of. I was like 7 so I wasn't paying attention to what it was. It was just tasty."

Oh, how I love me some hash. Serve it UP!

Photograph-Fluffy
"There was a woman where I used to live in Brooklyn who'd sell both by the entrance of the subway. It was always a great morning when I'd get her tamales verde and arroz con leche."

Gimme Me!
"Chilaquiles. Tortillas cut into squares, fried and then tossed in salsa then topped with a fried egg, queso fresco, avocado or whatever."
ChickenBootty
"I want this right now."

"Every time I make mole verde I make chilaquiles. Haven’t made them in a while but chilaquiles with soupy refried beans and queso fresco is one of my favorites too."

The Spread
"Kaisersemmel oder Wachauer Laberl mit Butter und Marillenmarmelade. Special white bread roll with butter and apricot jam."
periwinkle_fluff
"In Austria it is mainly the shape that makes it special. You get them from the bakery or the supermarket. Kaisersemmel is folded kind of like a flower, wachauer laberl is special to the Region of wachau. But homemade is okay too 🙈 The apricot jam NEEDS to be homemade though. Bonus points if the apricots are from your own garden."

Savory Save Me
"Beschuit. It's a light, dry, slightly sweet cookie topped with either something savory or sweet. It tastes better than is sounds. It is also a tradition to eat to them to celebrate a birth topped with butter and anise seeds coated in white and blue/pink sugar."

Food Eating GIFGiphy"Bolillo (salty bread, toasty and crunchy on the outside, super soft inside ) in Mexico , it’s not uncommon for people to line up outside the bakery to get them straight out of the oven."'

Now I'm hungry. For anything.
Reddit user karmabandido posted a photo of a Tinder exchange that may not have been the most pleasant she'd ever had, but was certainly nicer than ghosting her.
And in case you were wondering why they were eating breakfast together, karmabindo clarified:
"First meeting :) can't go wrong with a Waffle House date. If she's too good for Waffle House, you're too good for her."
Other Reddit commenters agreed with her sentiment. steppenfloyd wished his dates had been this honest with him:
"The last 4 or 5 girls that have given me their number ghosted me almost immediately. I don't get it, why give me your number if you're not even gonna respond to the first text?"
"Exactly. They go from heavy flirting to straight ghosting in a matter of a few seconds."
ChampionOfTheSunAhhh, however, thought ghosting wasn't as bad as people made it out to be:
"It's all a game dude, you have to have zero expectations and not get too invested. Getting ghosted isn't always a knock against you, they might've just found what they wanted a little faster"
"Correct. Zero expectations, take it all with a grain of salt, stop giving a shit, let it happen or not happen."
On the other hand, however, Gualdrapo thought honesty is the best policy:
"Still I think ghosting is rude and childish. You can just tell'em you don't want to talk anymore. After all, we're all people."
And the majority of people, like Waht3rB0y, were also in the anti-ghosting camp:
"Agree 100%. A person invested time and energy in getting to know you and then you just completely ignore them? Not cool."
CourageousGizmo summed up everyone's feelings—no matter where you stand on ghosting, a nice, honest text is still a great thing.
"Lovely to see some real adults."
