I think men tend to be more concerned with "meals"; women more concerned with "eating".
Put a time-lock on the kitchen that only opens at meal times and most men would be comfortable. Women, IME, would be squirreling things away to nibble on for those periods when the kitchen is off-limits.
If I locked up the cheese, chocolate, crackers, nuts, etc. SWMBO would be climbing the walls in short order!
I, OTOH, would be happy eating a steak -- even if JUST a steak -- once a day.
I have no problems making a bunch of eggs for a meal (but, a BUNCH, not just
*one*/two). And, bacon is good at any time! :> I can eat a bowl of "cereal" any time -- though, again, my idea of a "bowl" is more like a SAUCEPAN!Not fond of left-overs (though I will get two meals out of tonight's beef w/broccoli). I cringe when I see folks eat cold pizza (having ANY pizza left-over is anathema to me!)
When I was a kid, I used to enjoy Gerber's High Protein Cereal ("baby food") prepared with applesauce and hot milk. But, would never be sufficiently motivated to *prepare* something like that first thing in the morning! (it's no longer sold in stores so I don't have to face that issue)
Now, I'm happy just drinking tea for the first few hours out of bed...
What, how do I get to my beer?
Ayep. :-)
That gives me an idea.
It's an EVENT (men), not a PROCESS (women)
I like cookies. NOT the "hard a a rock" cookies sold in stores. I'll get then to coke out soft when I bake them (impossible for some people since time is critical [9 minutes good, 10 minutes hard], but worth it).
I seem to remember a story involving an (institutional) kitchen accident with smelly cheese. Someone called it "a feta worse than death".

I don't want that. I also don't want any red velvet cake yogurt. Red velvet cake is good cake. YOGURT isn't cake.
One of the drawbacks of living in White Bread Central. When I was in the Boston area saints' day in the North End was always good for calamari salad and canolli. Then you could go watch the old farts drink wine and play bocce.
True of many towns/villages back east.
E.g., lots of "______ Political Clubs" (fill in the blank with your favorite nationality). AFAICT, just a place where *men* of ________ nationality can get away from their wives to play cards, shoot the sh*t and otherwise lament how tough they're lives are... :>
First set of cannoli tubes I bought were aluminum. Big mistake (doesn't shed heat fast enough!)
The real trick with cannoli is that you can't fill the shells until you are ready to eat them. I mean, REALLY ready to eat them (like NOW!)
We often have leftovers for dinner the following day. Two days is my personal limit though. My wife can't stand to throw anything out, so if we've already eaten a meal for two days, she usually takes the remainder for her lunches.
I eat a big bowl of cold cereal and a banana every morning.
My wife likes to eat the moment she gets out of bed, but I usually need to be up for a couple hours before I feel like eating. Since I eat breakfast later, I usually have less of an appetite at lunch.
Yep, it's fun to have waffles or pancakes for dinner every now and then. It has been a while come to think of it.
