Significado
The first meal of the day.
Contexto cultural
Breakfast is often the main meal of the day, consisting of Dal Bhat (rice, lentils, and vegetables). It is eaten mid-morning, around 10 AM. In cities, people might have a lighter breakfast like tea and bread (Nasta) early, and then a full meal later. Western-style breakfasts are also popular in cafes. In high altitudes, 'Tsampa' (roasted barley flour) or butter tea is a common part of the morning meal to provide energy for the cold. In the southern plains, breakfast might include 'Bhuja' (puffed rice) or 'Malpa' (sweet pancakes) along with tea.
The 10 AM Rule
If someone invites you for 'Bihanko Khana', expect it to be around 10 AM and expect Dal Bhat.
Don't say 'Breakfast'
While many understand 'Breakfast', using 'Bihanko Khana' will earn you much more respect and smiles from locals.
