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

      Surely they don’t eat that much cheese as part of their breakfast

        You’re right, they don’t.

        The other two cheese platters are out of shot.

    On the “Europeans” side that’s at least 2 decades out of date.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.

      I live in Germany and work with Turks, Poles, Ukrainians, Romanians, a Greek and a Slovenian. This meme is accurate for all of us. Weekends are a different story of course but in my experience this is indeed the true business day continental breakfast.

      Is it? I was just in London a couple months ago, the amount of people smoking and vaping there was honestly shocking.

      • Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        As a fraction of the total it’s still a small percentage, unless things changed a lot in the 5 years since I moved out of there.

      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.

      source
      • silasmariner@programming.dev ⁨46⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

        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

        3. Dinner late in the evening is not on the entire penisula

        It’s a culture that doesn’t eat any damn vegetables, so they need weapons-grade stimulants to get anything out in the morning.

        okay that’s fair but burritos are pretty great. not as good as tacos with a side of chips and salsa, but still pretty great.

        if you don’t like mexican food i worry our cultural values (mine ranking deliciousness laughably high) don’t line up, but we can probably figure it out.

    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.

      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.

        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).

      In my experience that very much depends on the part of Europe you’re in: the “expresso in the morning” thing is mostly common in Southern Europe and France and back in the day when smoking was much more common and was actually allowed indoors in public venues, people having a ciggy and a morning coffee at a cafe was a pretty common sight.

      Places in Europe without the whole tradition of coffee places serving expressos never really had this kind of “breakfast”.
