    Here in the Netherlands a lot of people just eat sandwiches. I usually take them with me to work. Not a lot of effort

      I’ll never understand how can people eat sandwiches every day, especially those with some kind of meat in them. I’m not vegetarian but eating sandwiches for more than two days in a row make me want to puke.

        Do you eat the same thing for breakfast every day? I do. But for whatever reason, lunch and dinner is different. Can’t eat the same thing twice.

          I don’t. But I’m a rich american who can afford to be picky and eat different stuff for every meal and eat 1-2 meals a day from restaurants regularly.

        I am one and it’s peanut butter every day. For 3 years basically every working day has had a peanut butter sandwich. And that’s how the next 30 some years are looking too. It’s fine. I can live that way.

        I eat sandwiches every day, and the same thing or small variety. I’m not eating for the experience, I’m eating to not be hungry. I can make and eat a sandwich is less than a minute, so I can get back to doing what I want to be doing.

        If I really don’t feel like a sandwich, there’s always toast.

        a lot of people eat the same food several days in a row, or several meals in a row.

        you only feel that way because you see food as pleasure to be enjoyed. not as a necessity for living. lots of people eat to live.

          I don’t want to enjoy every meal

          Just not to feel sick because of them

        Genuinely, why? Personally, I’m happy to eat basically same meals for a few days before they get boring, and you can vary your sandwiches a lot of you so desire.

        Peanut butter? Upgrading to natural peanut butter made all the difference for me, so it’s no longer just for kids.

        I even get decent marmalade, which definitely doesn’t work for kids, or a dark amber maple syrup. I currently have apple butter, which goes nicely on a peanut butter sandwich, or with a scoop of cottage cheese on the side

        I also eat pretty much the same breakfast every day. For lunch I can vary what’s on the bread and the type of bread. That’s just how things are here. It’s not the nicest, but it saves a lot of time and money and can also be quite nice

        Also, there’s literally a Greggs on every corner or a greasy spoon that’ll make you a sandwich for 2.50
