Why Italian Breakfast Is So Different | Local Aromas
Show notes
Italian breakfast may be one of the most controversial things we talk about. 😄
Every time we post about it, someone asks …
Where are the eggs? Where is the bacon? Why are you eating so many carbs?!
So in this episode, we're finally talking about how Italians really have breakfast.
We chat about breakfast at home versus breakfast at the bar, why bread has always been such an important part of the Italian morning, how the sweet breakfast we know today is actually more modern than people think, and why cappuccino somehow became attached to the morning.
And then, of course, Italy being Italy, breakfast changes completely depending on where you are.
✔️ A maritozzo in Rome.
✔️ Granita and a warm brioche in Sicily.
✔️ Focaccia dipped in cappuccino in Genoa.
✔️ Budino di riso in Florence.
So yes, we eat carbs. And yes, we love them. 😂
That’s exactly why we created our Italian Breakfast Tour in Rome, so you can experience this delicious Italian morning ritual for yourself … the right way! ☕🥐🇮🇹
Italian breakfast is really about much more than food. It's ritual, routine, local culture, and one more little moment of the day that brings people together.
