Water for obvious reasons and bread because bread is that thing that goes well all on its own, can make a good snack, a light meal or a feast fit to fill the glutony of demons.
Here in the USA, corn bread is a specific thing, more cake-like than bread loaf. I don’t know where you are in the world. What kind of corn bread do you have?
It’s an hearty bread. Usually it keeps some degree of sweetness so it goes well with just some butter but it can be a complement for any dish, from just vegetables (fava beans or sweetpeas are classics), any fatty fish (goes well with cod, sardines or mackarels) or roasted meat.
Just avoid dishes heavy on gravies. This bread shines when soaking the fat already present in the food, rendered by the cooking process.
The usual intro is caldo verde. I took a look at the article and whoever wrote it in english has shit for brains but you can get the gist of the thing.
A muffin in the morning ( usually coffee chocolate or blueberry) with a bottle of 2% milk for breakfast. Then a can of OJ and red bull. For lunch I just get a single patty burger with lettuce onions, and pickle slices. 2/3 of it with mayo and the other third ketchup. After that I drink another red bull when I get home, and that’s about it. Depending on how much smoke I’ll make myself a breakfast sandwich ( English muffin, an egg, sausage patty, and shredded sharp cheddar) to sate my munchies
Steel cut oats boiled with fruit, sweetened with maple syrup, and served with some type of dairy. I always use cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ground ginger!
Is anyone else going through and guessing at where people are from?
All the cheese people I’m guessing are either French or from the American Midwest (the former eating significantly different cheese than the latter). The tea people are probably British. Peanut Butter is likely a North America only thing.
I’m not sure if it’s possible to accurately guess our locations based on food choices. Everyone’s giving such generic choices that they could be from everywhere. Shit-tons of Americans drink tea, for example. Lots of other rich countries have American restaurants for American style food and therefore could have people who like stuff like peanut butter which isn’t a part of their home country’s traditional cuisine.
In Iceland they have a restaurant literally named “American Style”. It’s made to look like the classic 50s diner, movie memorabilia type place, with burgers and fries.
I get to work and make myself a toasted bagel sandwich with jam and vegan cream cheese. I also make a flask of earl grey tea with a teaspoon of sugar. Lunch is often a veggie burrito. Dinner depends. Usually stew or curry or stir fry.
Tea (either black tea or some native herbal tea) and wholemeal cookies, sometimes sandwiches with sausage or peanut butter or sweet equivalent, pasta with minced pork and ketchup, etc.
Well, we have mint, fireweed (Ivan-chai) and many other I don’t know. Mint tea is ubiquitous all around the world. Fireweed tea (Gauromečio arbata) has quite an interesting taste and smell. If you tried to taste raw Chinese green tea leaves (before preparation of tea), it has a similar taste. Nowadays, in the shop, a wide variety of different herbal mixes is sold. We didn’t have any caffeinated drinks until 1990s.
An interesting drink is ‘acorn coffee’ which is set into the National Registry but I never tried that one.
And also we have berry-based hot drinks served as ‘tea’, most notably buckthorn tea.
So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is:
About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men
About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women
These recommendations cover fluids from water, other beverages and food. About 20% of daily fluid intake usually comes from food and the rest from drinks.
In both cases, 2 liters of water is closer to what you should be drinking.
The paper did not suggest that that is the amount you should be drinking. It had based the adequate daily fluid intake on the median total water intake from US survey data. “In this setting, the AI should not be interpreted as a specific requirement.” AI (Adequate daily fluid intake). “… on a day-to-day basis, fluid intake, driven by the combination of thirst and the consumption of beverages at meals, allows maintenance of hydration status and total body water at normal levels.”. Just drink when you are thirsty and you should be fine. But you do you.
Yes, drinking when you are thirsty is a good idea. No one is saying 2 liters is a requirement. It’s just a normal amount to drink and around the average adequate daily fluid intake amount if all you drink is water.
Not really. My countrys recommendations are 1½ L a day, more if you’re active, and since I ride my bike for 8-10 hours for exercise a week, and commute on bike for another three, aiming for 2 L is not unreasonable
I’m on a diet now for about a month. Only drink water and coffee.
I eat 1 big meal a day. Low calories and if possible low on carbs. So lots of vegetables, replaced potatoes with cauliflower and mostly chicken breast.
As dessert yogurt with a little bit of fresh food.
