      A lot of people do, weirdly. My dad is super obese and would rather eat weird smelling old ass cheap processed meat than anything remotely healthy. But he would bever eat the same thing twice a day, or the next day. Everything he cooks and doesn’t eat gets immediately thrown away. Meanwhile i can cook on sunday and eat it for a week.
      There was this throwaway line in some random sitcom where someone aks if they want to have Chinese food for dinner and he says something like: we had chinese food yesterday. On which he replied: chinese people eat chinese food everyday.

        Fun fact, most Chinese people would have to fly to the US or travel to a tourist specialized area since Chinese food as known in the west was invented in California. American Chinese cuisine is a fusion of Cantonese style food with American ingredients and tastes, and it’s hard to find in China. So, in a way, Chinese people actually don’t eat (American) Chinese food everyday if ever. And probably for the better, eating so much salt, msg and certain fats everyday is likely not a very healthy diet.

      I eat the same thing for breakfast and at lunch every day at work and it’s definitely viewed as weird behaviour.

      My girlfriend is absolutely opposed to having the same dinner two days in a row.

      I do agree that variety is the spice of life but I’m absolutely fine with the idea of eating the same things time after time (as long as they taste nice).
