I will post on the Italian thread what I had in Rome. xx

 

Italian breakfast is a scant sweet affair. Most people go for cappuccino or espresso coffee, and cornetto (a croissant), some, sportsmen and kids mostly, may have a yogurt, fruits, milk and cereals, cookies, rusks, jam, bread, unsalted butter, or have breakfast with some other sweets like a leftover slice of pie or even panettone, the christmas cake. Savoury breakfast are generally regarded as something exotic, don't know if our German or French speaking populations of Valle d'Aosta and Alto Adige have different customs from us but I guess so. Also coffee is always "ristretto" - only foreigners have it in a large cup. It is common that our mini-breakfasts made only of a sweet piece and a coffee are consumed in a public bar, standing at the counter. The common aversion for savoury breakfasts is so strong that sometimes leads to grudges between italian and foreign tenants in apartment blocks, with some complaining about the smells coming from flats occupied by foreigners that may cook stuff like curry in the morning, but I guess that's just xenophobic individuals being xenophobic. However a sausage, or eggs, bacon, beans, tomatoes & mushrooms are universally regarded as dinner stuff. Pancakes could find a place, but I never heard of anyone having them for breakfast -or at any other time. I've never tried both of them but I'm pretty confident that marmite and vegemite would induce a deep revulsion and gagging among the vast majority us, specially if served at breakfast time.
Since I dance to my own music I've enjoyed for quite awhile a more classic anglo-american breakfast made of eggs, toast and some ham, washed down with strong tea or a international-size cup of coffee, and I've found it enjoyable also because such a breakfast doesn't let you crash mid-morning like our symbolic sugar-and-caffeine breakfasts that only give you a short energy boost. Rural breakfast in the past could be more hearty sporting cheese and bread and I suspect that a good amount of wine wasn't missing either. In the north east wasn't uncommon having some spirits like grappa, too. But everyone knows that Venetians are alcoholics

 

I haven't touched alcohol for about a month.

 

Did you have that for breakfast?
That is not good.

 

I ate Nutella in breakfast.

I keep drinking energy drinks. Hope I will not pass out
