Significado
The act of having the first meal of the day.
Contexto cultural
Breakfast is often a communal meal served on a 'Sofreh' on the floor or a table. Fresh bread is a non-negotiable requirement. Cafe culture is booming. 'Sobhaneh khordan' in cafes on Valiasr Street is a popular activity for young people on Friday mornings. Breakfast is much heavier, often including 'Halim' (wheat and meat porridge) or 'Adasi' (lentil stew) to sustain a day of physical labor. The 'Noon-o-Paneer' breakfast remains a strong cultural link, even when traditional breads are replaced by pita or sourdough.
