    Oh yes the famous nation of Europe. An entire continent full of nations and different cultures been rendered down to the stereotypes of the occupants of a single city.

    Americans need to get out more.

        imagine if someone is complaining about Americans, and interchangeably refering to Canadians/mexicans/Argentinians…

        You damn Americans, always saying sorry with your mate thermos, carnival music mariachis…

          If they did it in a meme they posted in a community with shitpost in the name I can’t say I would pay it much mind or take any personal offense to it, no. That seems to be a uniquely European thing

          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.

    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

      Also breakfast is completely optional

      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.

        aha, hence why I said optional. If you want/need it, have it. If you don’t want or need it, it doesn’t actually harm you in any universally applicable way to just wait until lunch.

      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 🥹

    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.)

        If beans get you bloated your fiber and vegetable intake gotta be ABYSMAL. And I’m not talking about Taco Bell beans. Just regular beans you cook at home either canned or boiled.

        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.

    Once I started skipping breakfast, I felt more awake in the morning. Not only that, but I had more time to get ready for work. My real problem is how to consume less calories, not more.

    Drugs are not food, and with the exception for a few countires, drugs are pretty universal. Not eating anything for breakfast can actually be a healthier choice han doing so. But the land of the obese would understand.

        ‘Baked Beans on Toast’ is a staple breakfast food in Australia too. It’s served in most cafes, usually alongside eggs, bacon, chipolatas, hash brown, and a grilled tomato.
