The riddle asks:
"What two things can you never eat for breakfast?"
Let’s break it down:
At first glance, this seems like a trick question — we usually think of breakfast foods like eggs, cereal, or toast. But the key is in the wording:
"two things you can never eat for breakfast."
Think about it — not *what* you eat, but *what* you can't eat at all for breakfast.
The answer:
Lunch and dinner.
Explanation:
- You can’t eat
lunch for breakfast because lunch is meant to be eaten at midday.
- You can’t eat
dinner for breakfast because dinner is meant to be eaten in the evening.
So,
lunch and dinner are the two things you can never eat for breakfast — not because they’re not edible, but because they are meals associated with other times of day.
It's a play on words and timing, not food type!
✔ Answer: Lunch and dinner.
