While we’re shitting on breakfast culture in Europe I think that Italians have the worst. They have messed up daily rhythm (siesta and then dinner late in the evening)… Actually no, that’s not an excuse. They have garbage breakfast culture, period.

Literally everyone else’s breakfasts are awesome.

Siesta is barely a thing in Italy any more unless you’re like 70+ and rural lol. But a brioche stuffed with ice-cream is the king of breakfasts what are you on about

  Granted, I know Italy only from a tourist perspective.
  
  Every damn restaurant closes in the summer in the middle of the day. So do many shops.
  
  Italy rarely have breakfast restaurants - or at least what I’d consider a breakfast restaurant. Some variations of a premade ready to go sandwich ain’t it. And the good places ain’t open in the morning, but rather during brunch hours and serve brunch/lunch more than breakfast.

  I know you’re joking. You’re kidding, right? :)

    Sicilian ice cream sandwiches are a real thing and they are basically the best thing that’s ever happened to breakfast cuisine

  The interwebs seem to have a consensus of cappuccino and a sweet pastry

    Scrambled eggs or pancakes are the limit of the imagination I’ve seen from Italian restaurants. But most places have pastry or some variation of a sandwich that’s going to be mostly bread.

    Stayed in Rome and Florence for a week. The only breakfast stuff we found were indeed either sweet pastries or biscuits, accompanied by fruit and cheese.
