  1. Should try the breakfast of veneto, a couple espressos one or more glasses of grappa (50degree alcohol liquor) and some cigarettes, food only if you are an under50 otherwise it’s showing weakness. We treat our body like a car from the 40’s. Healthy ? Absolutely not but we are also surrounded by some of the best healthcare system of Italy so it evens out.

  2. Yes we do have sweet breakfast, the thought of eating eggs first thing in the morning makes me nauseous. BUT I can guarantee nobody eats pastries everyday.

  3. As an Italian, I must say she's right. I've switched to savory breakfast (which I always end with a little cookie! 😇) and I can't turn back. I have way more energy during the day and most of the times I don't even have a snack during the morning. I go straight to lunch.

  4. Paris is no doubt the most profound disappointment in terms of what you’re expecting the food to be, versus reality. To be fair, you can certainly find great food in Paris, but most tourists don’t put in the extra effort + travel to non-touristy areas needed to find it. The areas where tourists are in the city center are swamped with the most underwhelming cafe food imaginable (precisely because they all cater to clueless, mostly American tourists). Literally, higher end chain restaurants in America are basically superior to this crap in Paris. People don’t believe this when I say it, but it’s unfortunately true.

  5. Scusa ma parenzo sta guarendo o sbaglio? Son un paio di puntate che inizia ad azzeccarle quasi tutte. Camerata Parenzo ❤

  6. In the south of Italy we also have "rosticceria". Savoury pastry, so yeah I would ignore 2 frenchy talking BS about Italian tradition, culture and so on.

  7. Proper french breakfast :
    Coffee with full milk
    Baguette with salted butter and redfruit jam
    And… you know come on !
    A good cigarette.
    Then you go to work.
    At work :
    A coffee and a cigarette again
    Then ready to work

  8. The English Breakfast keeps you going all day but no one has the time to make it or the inclination to eat it on an ordinary day.

  9. Eating omelette is universal everywhere in the world not just in france. People in France croissants and pain au chocolat with coffee or tea in majority of time… 90% due to how easy and quick it is

  10. Every single bar (café) in Italy has savory options (tuna&egg sandwiches, and such) for breakfast and as a a kid me and most of my friends would eat focaccia bread with some type of deli meat/cheese filling in the morning.
    It's true that Italy mostly has sweet breakfast, but it's not that uncommon for people to eat something savory instead.

  11. The word brioche is common in the north. In the center to south, cornetto is more common. Part of this is technical…in Italy the cornetto or croissant is made with a brioche dough (with eggs, milk, and sugar) that's laminated with butter. Different than the classic French croissant recipe. As a result, a cornetto is more dense, moist, and chewy. Italians are healthier because the light breakfast of coffee and a small pastry just breaks the fast. Lunch and dinner are the main meals, and are evenly balanced with protein, carbs, veggies, and fiber. You can easily get whole grain (integrale) cornetti and other pastries and lower your carb intake by getting a plain one.

  12. Guess what… we are thinner, healthier, and live longer than the French. You wish you had the climate, the culinary excellence and variety that italy has. Suck it up, French!

  13. baffling that people think that the 10-20ug spike metabolically people experience when eating bread has any effect on you quality of life. Move your body and sugar is no problem.

  14. Yes Italians typically have something sweet in the morning. But the other meals are fresh, healthy, organic, zero processed foods
