I have a question for you...

Yesterday morning I came up with a question that for some reason I put a lot of thought into.  I probably put a little bit too much thought into this in fact.  Here is my question: If you had to choose one meal as your favorite, which one would you choose?  When I texted Alyssa this very question, she responded that she would most likely choose breakfast.  Yes, I do love breakfast.  Especially my steaming hot cup of delicious coffee.  However, I would choose lunch.  Here is my deeply thought out reasoning as to why...

Reason 1: Timing.  Breakfast is a meal that I'm usually not particularly hungry for for.  I always eat it because it is "the most important meal of the day," I enjoy it, and I know that I will die of hunger if I wait to eat until lunch.  Dinner is even worse timing wise.  Have you noticed how disproportional the timing in between breakfast and lunch is compared to in between lunch and dinner?  There are about four hours from breakfast to lunch but usually around six hours between lunch and dinner.  By the time dinner rolls around, I feel like I'm either starving or not very hungry at all (due to snacking) and just eating simply because it is dinnertime.  

Reason 2: Variety. It is pretty ironic that I phrased it like this, considering I eat the exact same lunch every single day.  What I mean by this statement is that my sandwich, fruit, and dessert lunch combo covers all levels of deliciousness.  First there is the sandwich with the works; cheese, hummus, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, jalapenos, avocado... (yes I know, I go all out).  Next, I get my fruit fix with a nice juicy apple or pear.  Finally, dessert is a must so that I can get my chocolate fix in.  Yep, I have every category or the (vegetarian) food pyramid covered with this joyous meal.

Reason 3: In Spain, lunch is the largest, main, and most important meal of the day.  It is eaten around 2 or 3 and is the meal in which the family usually eats together, sort of like dinner is for us Americans.  Spain is awesome.  Lunch is awesome.  There you go. 
Now, someone take me to Panera for a Mediterranean Veggy sandwich.
