# Welcome to Secret Breakfast / An exclusive newsletter, the best place to start your Golden Age with Japanese lunchboxes, resurrected TikTokers, and some questionable executive orders

Sakamoto Days

Hi there!

How did your Blue Monday go? I just found [a new anime I want to watch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto%5FDays?%5Fbhlid=483ef21e32b786c31499f667f411434acd6ba6f9&ref=secretbreakfast.com), even though I don't have much free time.

On the cooking side, I’m pretty sure I’ve lost 22 pounds in a few months - congrats to me - just because I’ve chosen to follow a boring diet without even trying to make my menus fancier. Then I had a baking week for my daughters’ birthday and things went wild with pizza, Sacher Torte, and Red Velvets.

Parties are supposed to be fun, aren’t they?

Piero

PS: some silly content is coming today as we try new things.

## **WHO’S ORDERED THOSE EXECUTIVE ORDERS?**

![Is the new administration short on glasses?](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down-format=auto-onerror=redirect-quality=80/uploads/asset/file/68c67ac4-8c2a-4e0b-9863-fd7675eba4b2/capture_2025-01-21_alle_08-41-03.jpg)

Is the new administration short on glasses?

**BREAKING: During the last few hours, the newly appointed President of Dining Affairs has signed several executive orders - about 100 - addressing critical food and restaurant matters. Our newsroom has received and verified these documents. Here are the most significant orders that will impact your dining experience:**

🌮"In accordance with Section 4 of the Taco Treaty, I hereby declare that putting pineapple in **al pastor tacos** (★[recipe](https://www.seriouseats.com/tacos-al-pastor-recipe?%5Fbhlid=0ffcd2a41cf9e4ce632d52156b096b4e3b507336&ref=secretbreakfast.com)) is a violation of the Tromsø Flavor Convention. Furthermore, calling a flour tortilla wrapped around shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese a 'street taco' shall be considered an act of culinary imperialism. All violators must attend mandatory salsa verde sensitivity training."

🍟"By executive order of Table 12, all **french fries** are hereby declared a shared resource, effective immediately. Any attempt to claim 'just a few' while systematically depleting the basket shall be considered an act of dining room aggression. Those found guilty will be sentenced to picking up the check."

🥩"As acting President of the 7:30 PM Dinner Reservation, I'm invoking the **Gender Menu Protocol**: Men shall no longer feel compelled to order 'manly' steaks (★[recipe](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2012/oct/25/how-to-cook-the-perfect-steak?%5Fbhlid=c3d454cc0bf506103ac85e1af0155659777bb104&ref=secretbreakfast.com)) when they actually want that cute little goat cheese salad, and women are hereby liberated from the tyranny of only ordering dishes marked with a little heart symbol. The right to order a burger bigger than your head shall not be denied or abridged on account of gender."

🥗"Furthermore, in the interest of national stomach security, I hereby declare that the phrase **'I'll just have a salad' followed by eating everyone else's food** is classified as high treason. A state of emergency is declared when the last bite of dessert remains unclaimed – diplomatic negotiations will commence via meaningful eye contact."

*The White House Kitchen has declined to comment on whether more orders are expected in the coming days.*
