   The only non-Asian breakfast I’m truly passionate about is a ham and cheese quiche

     This American grocery quiche I got was made with oil instead of butter. So it didn’t taste as good as a proper quiche.

     But at least it was a quiche. I think most American food can be improved with much more butter.

     I go to a French place for Parisian sandwiches in SF coz it’s the only place that will give me a sandwich with a two inch slab of butter as the lord intended.

     I deeply disagree with the dietary fatphobia and preference for sugar here

     I remember when I first moved here I was shocked to see that there were shelves and shelves of low or no fat milk but maybe only 1 terrible whole fat milk.

     That is opposite to what I am used to.

     You can get tubs of yogurt with eye watering amounts of sugar but it’s not as easy to get a plain whole fat one. I do not like this.

     @philnelson yeah that’s what I started getting then I switched to Alexandre grass fed 6% fed. That’s much closer to the taste of milk I like.

     Also the only two brands that don’t make me sick. I’m not lactose intolerant anywhere else but there is something about most other American milk that makes me sick.

     @tedmielczarek haha do they also react badly to a lot of American milk? Many of my immigrant friends (and myself) aren’t lactose intolerant anywhere else but most US milk makes us sick. I’ve narrowed it down to the type of cow / protein or maybe violent rejection of hormones, so as long as I stick with those specific brands im fine

     @skinnylatte my wife tells me that the first time her immigrant family tried skim milk they thought it had gone bad. I think they bought it because that's what all the other families they new in America used. I think my mom still buys skim milk, and margarine instead of real butter. The margarine kills me because she loves baking dinner rolls and they're really good but margarine is so bad. 😭

     @pmonks I’ve had a lot of objection to butter in sandwiches which I truly do not understand.

     I also don’t really want to eat a sandwich the size of my head, so I guess I should start thinking about American sandwiches as a different type of food

     @skinnylatte In my opinion it’s not even a sandwich if it doesn’t have butter (or, at a pinch, margarine). The first time I had a dry, nasty American “sandwich-like food object” I went back to complain and they looked at me like I had 2 heads.

     @skinnylatte she has also described that phenomenon! The next time we are in SF we'll have to meet up so you two can chat. I feel like I'm constantly telling her about things you post, I think you two would really get along. That might have something to do with her also being a queer autistic Asian immigrant…

     @skinnylatte 100%. Like a “ham sandwich” should be bread, butter, and ham, not an entire deli case of other meats and cheeses, topped off with an entire salad bar!!

     @pmonks hahaha perfect description

     It drives me crazy too when people say only saigon sandwich is a legit good banh mi in the tenderloin. It’s fine but I think most Americans like it because it is 4x larger than it should be. If you’re ever in the area, Bo&Beurre has an excellent smaller banh mi with top shelf quality ingredients.

     @skinnylatte I will always remember the sandwich my French "mother" made when I was on a school exchange in high school (age 15): a huge swath of butter on a baguette, then meat and cheese (etc.). Best sando ever.

     The thought of oil instead of butter in the quiche makes me twitch. Fat is not the enemy: imo portion size is (and sugar/sweeteners). I lost a bunch of weight in the past 8 months eating (healthy) full fat foods, but weighing portions.

     @SRLevine oh, I mean broccoli on its own I prefer it grilled to the point of charred. I haven’t tried it in a quiche so I’m not sure how I might do that. I do vastly prefer ham quiches over say, spinach ones tho, but maybe broccoli has the extra crunch.

     @leffe I’ve definitely seen quiche Lorraine for breakfast in parts of France, but maybe more brunch? I can’t do just coffee and fruit. Or yogurt. Or bread.

     I don’t really have a breakfast foods vs lunch foods list, everything is food at any time for me. But if I had to eat a breakfast that isn’t rice, I would happily eat a quiche Lorraine

     I found it amusing to see Quiche Lorraine described as breakfast food. I've also seen Swedish pancakes described as such in other threads. They're definitely not served for breakfast over here.

     @teajaygrey people like Tartine coz it was the first popular ‘good bread’ in SF. I find it overpriced and mediocre, but I am used to better bread. They’re also anti union and I can’t stand the guy. Their fans like em a lot.

     I don’t think they use enough butter (I go to a French place for this beautiful smell!

     Do you like Tartine in SF? I had a friend who did, and I remember accompanying her and the scent of butter assaulting my olfactory senses when walking through the door. Definitely not my cup of tea, but it might be to your liking.
