Family is very important. I think (hope) this is the case in ALL cultures. But today I have learned that in some cultures the family is even more important than in others (Or at least they give this impression) !
In Turkey, this is the case. Breakfast is never served as quick as possible and there is lots and lots of food!! Food for everybody ! Everybody is invited as they are also very collectivist. The people do it all together. they prepare it together and eat it togeter.
When we discussed this habit, I told the Turkish girl that most of the time I usually eat NOTHING for breakfast. She couldn't understand this at all
Cultural shock
