  • What do you eat for breakfast? Growing up in America and then living in England, ever since I've moved to Italy I must admit that the always light and sweet breakfasts have taken some getting used to! :) (No complaints; I'll happily eat cake for breakfast!)

    As an Italian I've always wondered who ever could want to cook something at early morning? We Italians love to cook very much for lunch and for dinner, but, as you wake up, you surely don't want to mess up with pans in the kitchen to fry something.

      @@patriciamartin6550 Italians are probably the top 3 healthiest people. That's mainly because we eat so much more fruit and veggies than most of the other Western countries (while Asian countries are probably better than us in this). Eating so much veggies means that most of the time the carbs are eaten with plenty of fiber. Fiber has the important role to regulate the sugar level in your bloodstream. This, along with a lower amount of animal fat and in general better sources of fats in our diet means that we have less chances of getting heart conditions, obesity and diabetes (which is almost always associated with obesity)

It is not the only flour or only the pasta that makes you to become fat, but the way you cook it, using too much fat in the (condimento?) and eating too much fat together with it, like people use to have in country as the US: pizza hut is full of fat, for example...
      As a matter of fact, I think is more healthy to eat a good homemade pizza or a good plate of pasta than eating at McDonald's at breakfast, lunch and dinner... Or other junk food many people use to swallow in your country.

It's evident you've put a lot of research in your videos and that you've actually talked with Italian people. I find your content to be super accurate and deep, unlike what I usually tend to see on American channels. Bonus added for using singular and plural properly ( I hate to hear "a bischotti" or stuff like that).

    Breakfast cakes are "dry" cakes, without creams or with jam only.

      Correct, they are quite different from what we consider proper desserts. An italian would not eat tiramisù or for breakfast. In the Usa bakery and pastry are considered synonymous, in Italy bakery products are for breakfast, pastry products are eaten after lunch or dinner. If we were int he Us, we would consider muffins, donuts and cookies as proper breakfast food, and cheese cake, key lime pie, red velvet, as desserts

    The History of Biscotti : Originally made as a long-shelf-life food for travelers and carried by the Roman Legions, today’s biscotti are a popular accompaniment to cappuccino and a classic with Vin Santo. Originally flavored with almonds, they are now made in dozens of flavors. Though modern biscotti are associated with the Tuscan region of Italy, the popular Italian cookie traces its origins to Roman times. The word biscotto derives from “bis,” Latin for twice, and “coctum” or baked (which became “cotto,” or cooked). The Roman biscotti were more about convenience food for travelers rather than a pleasurable treat for leisurely diners. Unleavened, finger-shaped wafers were baked first to cook them, then a second time to completely dry them out, making them durable for travel and nourishment for the long journeys-Pliny boasted that they would be edible for centuries. Biscotti were a staple of the diet of the Roman Legions. After the fall of the Roman Empire in 455 C.E, the country was repeatedly sacked by the Visigoths, the Vandals and others. The people did their best to survive; there was no culinary development. But with the Renaissance, cuisine also flowered. Biscotti re-emerged in Tuscany, credited to a Tuscan baker who served them with the local sweet wine. Their dry, crunchy texture was deemed to be the perfect medium to soak up the wine (and how much more flavorful than dunking a donut in coffee!). Centuries later, many still agree that dipping biscotti into Vin Santo is a perfect way to end a meal, or to while away an hour at a café

Pro tip: keep some Panettone around til February so you can have some for San Biagio ;)

    Ciao tutti! A Very well done video- In the US we are more diversified with less reliance on historical culture as a basis to define current practices. Americans can have the "sweet breakfast" as well with the typical donuts and coffee - ( a paltry substitute for true Italian flavors). Our sweet breakfasts are usually over-processed affairs with highly refined synthetic flavors. I miss the time I spent in Italy! I have lots of family in Milano and my mother was born in Bari. We still have famliy friends in Bari and Cassano-Di-Murge. All the best to you Katie!

      For instance, you must eat your breakfast sit down, Never walking down the street. Then, it's better to eat with friends if you go to the bar for having breakfast.
      We usually prefer to cook it for our own at home, and then go to work or to school.

    Ciao! Yes we do eat a light breakfast, well the idea behind is simple. You want something fast that wake you up and start your day. If during the morning you get hungry again, we eat a “snack” mid morning, like focaccia, un panino or similar usually salty, to carry us until lunch. We do a similar thing in the afternoon as well where we may eat something to get us to dinner. We call those period “merenda” which every youth probably eat daily. Also people that are athletic or doing manual work usually eat at one or both of those times. That would a good video to do (so that people don’t think we just run on sugar). Hope it help 😀

    I am Dutch living in the UK. Breakfast growing up was always sandwiches, either cheese or chicken, and then of course the famous 'hagelslag': chocolate sprinkles. or chocolate spread, like Nutella or a dark chocolate. I remember having a sandwich for breakfast here in the UK and my British niece (9 at the time) told me off. 'That's not breakfast!' Here I'll have cereal with yogurt, toast with jam, and every now and then we'll go out for a cooked breakfast with eggs and sausages. But of course cold pizza is still a favourite. ;)

    Muller yogurt is probably the most sugary one.. there are some brands that even if they are with fruit, they are not that sweet though. When I want a bit of flavor in my yogurt, I normally buy the white, plain kind of yogurt and then I just add a bit of organic jam from a teaspoon.

    All this is coming from what our grand parents were eating for breakfast when we were a poor country. Milk and stale bread or milk and polenta leftovers here in the North. You should try it once, maybe ask to some granpas and grandmas there 😉.

    I think that what most foreigners in Italy or talking to Italians don't get is that we don't have "cake" for breakfast, but we have something similar called "ciambella", which contains less sugar most of the times and it's homemade, so it can be done with other ingredients and avoiding too many fat ingredients ;)
