    How DARE you to include Nutella in that American stuff!

    Almost spit my cigarette in my coffee in disgust.

    It's 50% fat, 50% sugar and disgusting so I get the confusion. But it's indeed Italian.

    There's nothing wrong with fat, though.

    Depends on the type of fat. Some fats are really unhealthy, like in American food. Fats in fish are healthy.

    This is the Parisian breakfast. Nothing compared to the Lyonnais breakfast

    This picture HAS to be AI. The cheese wheels 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.

    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.

    Independent of whether this is AI or not, this is how such plates look like. It's sad if that is so far out of someone's reality they have to call the AI card.

    No offense. I'm sending this from a place where a meal like this would unfortunately cost me at least 5 of my kidneys 🥹

    Now that's a proper fuckin breakfast

  • source
  • [–] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

    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 of any variety of high-sugar, ultra-processed food.

    Also breakfast is completely optional and its 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.

    My hill to die on is that breakfast is the only meal that you can work the calories off all day. Eat what you want for breakfast but have a lighter lunch and even lighter evening meal.

    Well technically you're burning the same number of calories regardless of the time of day they were consumed, and two meals per day is a lot easier to keep at 2000 calories (as a rule of thumb - different for everybody) than three meals per day.

    Personally I like to keep the digestive process dormant for as long as possible. Eating breakfast makes me hungrier throughout the day, so I end up snacking more than I otherwise would. I've never been a breakfast eater though so I'm pretty well wired not to break fast until lunch.

    Edit: also heavy foods require rest and digestion that I do not have time for most mornings

    Yes for some, no for others? When I was a kid I hated having breakfast. My stomach would feel weird if I ate within the first two or three hours of being awake. But now, I need something. Nothing heavy. Some toast and peanut butter is good enough. If not, I get sick to my stomach. I would assume I'm not the only one who is like this.

    I've never seen a single European use a Zippo. We use Bic over here !

    If you live on the coast or other windy region, Zippo works better

    Agree. I bought one to go on trek, 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. I put it in my underpant when it's too cold, to avoid gas liquify 😂.

    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.

    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

    Yes, that's why you should never skip your cigarette with breakfast :)

    Nothing hit as good as smoking a cig after a stressful day at work and unwinding.

    Nicotine, by itself, really isn't that much more addictive than caffeine.

    Vapes are addictive af, what are you talking about?

    I'm way more addicted to vapes than cigarettes. Only reason I ever touch smokes is when I can't afford a 30$ vape and can only swing 7$ for a pack to get by.

    Not physically addictive, no. The physical addiction to nicotine lasts 3-7 days, while caffeine is 7-14.

    It's not the nicotine that has you truly hooked, it's the habit. It's the fact that it's always on you and you can often hit it as much as you want.

    Back before shitty closed disposable systems became popular, people regularly dropped to 0 nicotine without any trouble besides some cravings for a few days (which were about the equivalent of caffeine withdrawals).

    Have you stopped smoking or drinking coffee? One is way harder, let me tell you. They are both habits, but nicotine is way more mentally pervasive.

    You milage may vary but stopping smoking was way harder than coffee. For me, personally.

    Whilst you're kind of joking (I hope!) on the health benefits, I would say that deriving some enjoyment from all manner of small pleasures is a pretty good way to keep one's mental sanity.

    French, Italian, Spanish, Romanian... it's not really specific. It's also not for everyone. I'd say it's mostly for 20sth in rush and 50sth working men. Everybody else either skip it entirely or have a proper breakfast, but that's just my experience, might not generalize.

    I would like to point out that british are also european and they are known for their extra healthy bacon and eggs breakfast.

    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.)

    Fuck heads already do because they say “America refers to all of Americas, not The United States.”

    But also, as a Californian I apologize a lot and listen to mariachi music. You know that states can be culturally as different as nations, right?

  • Thanks for clearly stating why the world makes fun of American stupidity

    You know that states can be culturally as different as nations, right?

    no. they are not, and you only say that, because you have no idea how different cultures can be. California and NY are still American, speak English, eat similar food, do similar sports... whatever difference between California and NY is nothing compared Spain and France.
