Italians have really strange concepts of breakfast (to me).
Acceptable items include:
any kind of sweet cake, tart, pastry - the sweeter the better
pizza
some cured meats, sometimes
cookies
nutella on anythng
and, obviously the jellied pig skin, as pictured above
Unacceptable items include:
eggs in any form
cooked meats, such as sausage or bacon
cheese
I don't know - I don't think I'll ever get breakfast here. Italians literally crack themselves up when anyone mentions "bacon & eggs", its almost as funny to them as "spaghetti & meatballs" - that's the real side-splitter.
I am looking foward to Easter, it is the one day of the year when it is acceptable to eat eggs for breakfast - can't wait!
