It’s 50% fat, 50% sugar and disgusting so I get the confusion. But it’s indeed Italian.
vateso5074@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
And ramen is Japanese.
All commonly eaten in America, granted, but it’s weird to call it “American” food.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
It’s actually a really healthy breakfast because coffee has a lot of physical health benefits and both coffee and a cigarette help against a mental breakdown when you wake up and realize how fucked the world is.
Senseless@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
The world is so fucked no amount of coffee and cigarettes help anymore. Ketamine on the other hand…
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I do ketamine every weekend but during the week coffee is what motivates me to come out of bed.

Nicotine might help with short term anxiety symptoms, but addictions of all kinds tend to make anxiety worse overall and dependent on the addictive substance to not be anxious
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Yes, that’s why you should never skip your cigarette with breakfast :)
(I quit smoking luckily, I’m just joking around)
Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Whilst you’re kind of joking (I hope!) on the health benifits, I would say that deriving some enjoyment from all manner of small pleasures is a pretty good way to keep one’s mental sanity.

To be fair, cigarettes and coffee are probably healtier than all those foodproduct items on the left.
Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Junk food is bad? Yeah, sure. Cigarettes are healthier than junk food? No way. Either you’re a guerilla cigarette advertisement or you’ve gone off the deep end.

I don’t know, my tummy hurts more after eating a cigarette than junk food.

The choice is lung cancer and heart disease or diabetes and heart disease. At least us europeans die looking good /s.
Defectus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I still think you have better odds living longer with the coffee and cigs. I’ve seen far more elderly smokers than elderly fatsos.
wowski303@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
agreed 100/100
foodandart@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
The burger is definitely healther than the cigarette.
Coffee for the win though… all those complex alkaloids and polyphenols…
bollybing@lemmynsfw.com 2 weeks ago
To be fair smoking is already much less common in most of europe.
barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Unfortunately, the one on the right may be more healthy
cymbal_king@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Smoking cigarettes is the number one cause of heart disease and cancer globally. If you smoke, quitting is the biggest thing you can do to improve your health
barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Nah, obesity and high cholesterol is the top cause of heart disease, but smoking is also a major risk factor. Both are awful for you. Just drink the coffee and pursue an affair like a good Frenchman.
Soulg@ani.social 2 weeks ago
Take out the cig and it definitely is
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Cafestol is the main contributor of cardiovascular disease due to coffee (increases cholesterol). Get filtered coffee, or even better, black/mate tea, Matcha/green tea, Guarana or Guyausa (most of which have the reverse effect on cholesterol btw).

Don’t worry, Americans are still up a hill trying to find a wild haggis.
Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
They’re slippery wee cunts. The trick is to chase them anticlockwise round the hill so their short leg is on the downhill side. Then they fall over when they try to run.

This picture HAS to be AI. The cheese weeks are getting progressively smaller. 2 cups of wine. The sauce bowl is barely bigger than a grape ñ. That purple sausage? in the middle looks like a turd. The pickles in the edge are even smaller than the grapes. Sausage baked into pound cake for breakfast seems odd.
VonReposti@feddit.dk 2 weeks ago
The cheese wheels are getting progressively smaller
Different cheeses are different sizes. I’m no cheese master but I think it’s a comté, a brie, and a Camembert in order of size.
2 cups of wine
Two glasses for two people? You share a cheese plate. We aren’t selfish fat idiots in Europe.
The sauce bowl is barely bigger than a grape
What do you mean, its almost the size of all the grapes together? We don’t drown all our food in gallons of sauce like mad men. The food itself actually has taste opposed to whatever McD serves for breakfast.
That purple sausage
Look up a Saucisse Sèche d’Auvergne. They do look like that.
The pickles in the edge are even smaller than the grapes.
It’s cornichons. They are that small.
Sausage baked into pound cake for breakfast seems odd
It’s bread. Not cake. Bread and sausage is extremely common together. I’m not French and haven’t seen this variation but in and of itself this would be a stupid indicator of AI.

I’ve never seen a single European use a Zippo. We use Bic over here !
tatann@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
If you live on the coast or other windy region, Zippo works better
RidderSport@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
I found that to be the weirdest incorrect assumption. I bought a zippo during my time in the navy, they don’t work well in windy conditions certainly not much better than regular gas lighters. What does work better are storm lighters, those with high pressure flame
borokov@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Agree. I bought one to go on treck, but you need to refuel it every week. Maybe 2 weeks if you tight it in inner tube. I ended up buying a storm lighter instead.
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Zippo (too) sucks for windy weather. You want one of those blowtorch ones
mika_mika@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Zippos are really only around still because of aesthetic and cool factor and anyone who says otherwise is lying.
ftbd@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Zippo sucks. If you don’t wear it on your body, it will be too cold and won’t work. And if you leave it lying around for some time, the gas will evaporate and it’ll be empty when you want to use it
elucubra@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
They also slowly evaporate while in your pocket, irritating the thigh.
They are pretty much the best at sea, though.

Cricket lighters are better. Much more reliable.

Don’t compare all of Europe to France! The French love their despresso, that’s on them.

They clearly have not been to a Swedish breakfast buffet.
Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
On the “Europeans” side that’s at least 2 decades out of date.
The expresso coffee part is still true in a good part of Europe, but pretty much everywhere in it nowadays only a small fraction of people smoke and even those who do can’t actually do it inside a coffee shop because they’re not allowed to smoke there anymore, which spoils a great deal of the enjoyment of having a morning coffee.
Mubelotix@jlai.lu 2 weeks ago
Lived in Europe my whole life and never sedn someone pair coffee and cigarettes as part of their breakfast
echodot@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
Oh yes the famous nation of Europe. An entire continent full of nations and different cultures been rendered down to the stereotypes of the occupants of a single city.
Americans need to get out more.
LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Now that’s a proper fuckin breakfast
causepix@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
No, actually. I think it would unironically be better to get all your calories and nutrition from bread, cheese, and sausage than to have a diet consisting entirely of high-sugar, ultra-processed food.
Also breakfast is completely optional and it’s promotion as “the most important meal of the day” is a scam to sell more cereal, milk, and eggs. I will die on that hill.

This is also the reason why Metamucil doesn’t sell in Europe. Seriously: just looking at the left picture gives me constipation.
(I understand that the pic is a joke, but anyone who has a coffee and a fag after breakfast can attest to their wonderful laxative powers.)

Drugs are not food, and with the exception for a few countires, drugs are pretty universal. Not eating anything for breakfast can actually be a healthier choice han doing so.
