bread mealtime for indonesian doesn't mean "eating"

each nation has culture and habits differently. so it also goes to food. maybe for some people eat a piece bread for breakfast is enough but not for the indonesian. whatever lots of bread had be eaten. when indonesian asked "do you have to eat", then it will usually answered " not yet ". it sounds strange, right?. but when seen in terms of culture it can be explained . because of food the staple of indonesian is rice then when asked about eating. then what they think is eating rice. while bread is generally only seen as a snack. as long as the food is bread then he feels haven't tasted the main menu. so it will be happens if you have indonesian friend. although given a little rice, after he finished it then when asked if you have eaten he will answer already even though he is not full. but if given a lot of bread until full. when asked if you have eaten it will be answered not yet. so it's better to stay away from the word meal and replace it with the question is whether you are full.
