in the united states there is a fast food restaurant called "fazzoli's" where you can get spaghetti in the drive thru and eat spaghetti in your car. it is marked as a vegetarian option in the menu.

The smell of their bread sticks is. Intense.

I love US food culture
it is truly unique in the world. truly!
a lot of nations love food, but the US loves to eat

It is fascinating, as a dang dirty foreigner
This makes me think and how a lot of official language from government and institutions in this country doesn't define an individual as a person or a citizen or anything but as consumers or workers or something broadly detached from any sense of personhood.

Fazzoli's used to be great when they really aggressively came around and kept offering more bread sticks. You could go in there and just get a drink and then eat like hundreds of bread sticks.
I think this could be a regional thing, but I've only ever heard supper used to refer to a small meal or snack eaten sometime after dinner.
Also, where I grew up (Yorkshire), lunch was often called dinner... and yeah, dinner was called tea. Everywhere else I've lived, it's just been breakfast/lunch/dinner.

"breaking fast" feels like a real dramatic way of describing the first meal of the day when you think about it
you weren't fasting, you were sleeping you weirdos
But was I eating while I was doing it?
The answer is usually not!
Depends where I am on the spider quota for the month, to be honest.

Friend, the US also has supper -- mostly in the South, because farms

Yup. I ate supper every night until I went off to college and started having dinner instead.
These days I'll sneak in a supper every now and then for the sake of tradition, but other than that it's mostly dinners.

Yeah, in agrarian societies you start seeing dinner as a midday thing more frequently, as the idea of taking a break in the middle of the day and eating a big meal is increasingly desirable
Dinner as an evening meal was pushed a bit by the industrial revolution

Mostly I prefer dinner because "to sup" is just one of the grossest eating verbs there is. I feel like no matter what food you're actually eating, if you sup it you end up with inexplicable ham grease down the front of your shirt.

Just go Scandinavian.
Morgenmad = morning food
Middagsmad = noon food
Aftensmad = evening food
Except in Denmark where middagsmad can mean the evening food even though that makes no sense.
I think I mostly associate that with older generations.
But yes!
I'm aftenmad in the evenings a lot, its true
The angliscism lunch is completely normal though, as is the french diner.
Only with the proper amount of perineum sunning, of course.

Olive garden gets a bad rap I think. It was actually pretty good.

consider the process that leads one from taco -> taco bell taco and then apply that to spaghetti
I was thinking Japanese too:
Gohan is meal/rice, and then breakfast, lunch and dinner are:
Asagohan (breakfast) literally morning meal
Hirugohan (lunch) literally noon meal
Bangohan (dinner) literally evening meal
Months are easy too, ichigatsu, nigatsu, sangatsu, literally first month, second month, third month.
None of English’s lovely October being the 10th month fun times.

I feel this way about the whole intermittent fasting thing. It makes it sound so intense.
I just eat breakfast and lunch and skip dinner because hey I have to cook one less meal, eat one less time, and do 1/3rd less dishes.
Maybe there are some health benefits but mostly I do it because it simplifies my day. Intermittent fasting makes it sound like some kind of big event.
