Essen und Trinken

I have discovered that the eating habits of Germans are slightly different than ours in America. The meal times and portions seem to be distributed differently. They eat a normal breakfast, similar to ours, and then they used to eat their main meal during our lunch time between 12 and 2 PM but now the meal is becoming lighter. The dinner course is more specific to eating a main meal. For regional specialties, the south tends to have an increased popularity of side dishes. In Germany the efficiency of the shopping process is essential. They also are not given bags to carry their groceries each trip to the store, they must purchase their bags which is quite ecologically sound.

Since I attend school every day I have different shopping and eating habits. For example, I eat a light breakfast in the morning and a hearty meal at dinner time and I snack throughout the day. As for my shopping, I tend to shop all at once. When I do go grocery shopping I buy a large quantity of groceries. If I lived in Germany I would probably go shopping more frequently because of the fact you have to carry all of your groceries each and every time you shop. I would also probably eat a larger variety of foods compared to what I can purchase and keep in my dorm room. I would also probably eat out more frequently than I do now because I don’t think I’d have spare time to go shopping. It would probably be more convenient to eat out and cook/prepare fewer meals.
