Why you should visit Starbucks in Italy.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r89hY6t1kt-7fJs.html

8:11 It’s very simple, because “latte” is an Italian word and simply means “milk”. Americans have given this term another interpretation (as has also happened with other Italian names or other Italian things) and have made something different. But the name speaks for itself…. if I say latte (milk), every Italian means a glass of milk and not something else. So for example, if I say "acqua” (water), I expect a glass of water and not a glass of wine or something else.

Bar San Calisto in Trastavere Rome. We paid $3.80 for two Cappuccino’s and crème cornetto and we sat outside. Incredibly inexpensive compared to most places. We absolutely loved people watching while having breakfast in Italy.

When you are in Italy anyway it is better to say it in an original way (Cappuccini, the plural form), as he says here in the video (1:53). Like 1 Espresso and 2 Espressi. ;)

I'm not awake until I have two cups of coffee. When I was in the USAF, I had a seargent who would make a pot of coffee than put fresh coffee grounds in the coffee maker and put the fresh coffee back into the coffee maker. You needed a tablespoon of sugar to drink it. On the rare occasion, he would do tripled brewed coffee. The spoon would stand straight up in the cup and then dissolve. We were flying high on caffeine.

@johnwanamaker84 10 ай бұрын

My breakfast consisted of two cups of twice brewed coffee, a foil pack of Poptarts, a can of Coke, and a Hershey chocolate bar.

@GregorBrown 10 ай бұрын

That is one of the thickest and probably the most concentrated coffees I've ever heard of and I'm glad you survived those days of drinking coffee and having the sugar fuel breakfast😂😂☕☕

cornetto is just the one with the horns (corno means horn in italian). The other pastries have their own name (fagottino, treccia, bomba, ciambella, danese, etc.), unless you're in Milan where they say brioche for everything (except actual brioches, which are french pastries that taste nothing like a cornetto)

Is not always like that, but if you go in one of the oldest pastry shop in florence that is there since 1733......yeah you will pay a bit.

@@sleshflex4170 Not to mention if you find yourself in Piazza San Marco, in Venezia, sitting at a table outside the bar ! The more exclusive the places and even the locales, the more you pay if you sit at the table.

The croissant's origins are widely accepted to be in Austria (not France). it is a descendant of the kipferl, a crescent-shaped pastry that dates back to at least the 13th century 🤓 Can you get porridge in Italy?

No porridge. 😭

@user-fj7nd2lo1l 5 күн бұрын

Yes guys, of course, as he said you can find Tea, or maybe herbal/fruit infusion...whatever fruit juice...maybe hot chocolate...orzo, sometimes you can have a fresh milkshake what else? 🤔 And it's cheap, yes. I guess 25€ 😱 is due to the special pastry place, maybe in the very center of the city. Actually, at least in Rome, if you are not in the center, you don't even pay to sit in a bar

@GregorBrown 5 күн бұрын

Yes, it's because it's an historic famous place in the city center.

Breakfast for me includes coffee with crème (would that be a caffè con latte?) and usually a buttered, toasted piece of toast or bagel or English muffin. And then maybe a pastry.

Mmh🤔 it will be probably difficult to find eggs at breakfast time (but in the hotel, of course). If you are not a sweet person in the morning 😬 you can have a slice of pizza, or step in a bakery, get a Panino (sandwich) with cheese or prosciutto....
