When I go to Germany or London for work and eat the hotel breakfast of cold cuts and cheeses, fresh pasteries, and museli (sp?) with chocolate, I'm in heaven. I think I ought to branch out more from my coffee and cereal. Although an English muffin and peanut butter keeps me fairly happy. My breakfasts are so boring compared to what’s described here.

I am just so impressed that there are so many people out there eating any breakfast on a regular basis. I always make it for the wee ones but find I end up with coffee and cream as my typical breakfast....... I have been making it a goal for years but falling short, for years. I do not like the typical american "breakfast" food. Maybe it is time I took a page from the Dutch book and abandoned the cereals ??? ;) Of course I think a chocolate croissant and a lovely latte could get my attention as well.... Wow!

Here in France breakfast is pretty unimportant but almost everyone sits down for a good lunch. I have to say that I cannot even handle a croissant and a cafe au lait on a daily basis. Maybe it is my time spent in Germany but muesli and fresh fruit has become the norm for me! I think you are right, different countries just spend different times on meals.

You guys didn't give us tea biscuits :-) I'm just surprised about the differences between breakfasts - I guess you guys in Italy have to leave room for a great lunch, while here in the Netherlands, well, lunch and dinner are traditionally not very interesting: boiled potatoes, veggies and an overcooked piece of meat - ugh!

Italian breakfast is ruling the western world! What do you think Starbucks, Coffee Republic, Costa and the like are imitating?? Cappuccino and cornetto (the italian croissant) have become the choice for those that cannot (or do not want to) have a large breakfast. I agree that it is quite similar to croissant and café au lait...we and the french are cousins after all! And to be fair .... when you were here we fed you nicer things than a couple of good ol'tea biscuits! I actually enjoy german-dutch style breakfasts (and even a good fry-ups) but it is something that cannot happen on a regular weekday, when everybody has to get to school or work in a hurry. It's a weekend or holiday affair, it needs time to prepare...and to digest! oh come on!!!
