At the moment my commute time takes about from door to door takes about 2 hours. Returning time is about 10pm at night. When explaining this to a friend he asked incredulously
"But what about your tea !?" (That's Scottish for dinner usually from 6pm)
I always have been a very "regular" eater, lunch at 12, dinner at 6. All other countries seem to eat later, I think Japan being the latest.
This said after the first leg of my journey, I have a 1 hour train ride which thankfully I get a seat on. By that time I am as we would say "HANK MARVIN" (That's Scottish for hungry)
Thankfully all station platforms have little ramen restaurants for a quick munch before going home or as I prefer, some "otsumami" these are traditionally snacks to be eaten with beer, like nuts, pretzels. There's a stunning array to choose from, my current favourites are ;
Shiotan - Salted dried cows tongue with spices. Chitara - Strips of cheese sandwiched between dried cod.
Naturally I didn't know what either were made of till my partner explained.Still love em tho !
