Unfortunately, in Italy, breakfast is not an important meal. A typical breakfast (if any), is bread with Nutella, a chocolate spread that's very popular in Italy. I like it, but having it for breakfast every day gets a little old. Most other Italians eat breakfast at cafes. Here you can buy a cappuccino or a croissant. Cereal is not a common breakfast item and they stare at me like I have lobsters coming out of my ears whenever I talk about eating bacon and eggs for breakfast. They are repulsed by this. Oh well. Fortunately, my mom has sent me a box of Raisin Bran and I have been living off of that. Just kidding. Cereal for Christmas please! Although, what they lack in breakfast, they make up for in lunch in dinner.
Glad you liked the cereal bud- I would send you bacon and eggs but I don't think they would travel well!! Love you. Mom XXXOOO's
ReplyDeleteWow! They've been advertising Nutella on television here! Now I'm gonna have to try it. If I don't like it, I'll send it to you . . . along with a box of raisin bran! Does the milk taste the same there? What do you drink? Whole? 2%? 1%? Skim? Half-and-half? Cream? No, I'm not going to send you milk. Just curious. Love, Aunt Eileen
