How DARE you to include Nutella in that American stuff!
Almost spit my cigarette in my coffee in disgust.
And ramen is Japanese.
All commonly eaten in America, granted, but it’s weird to call it “American” food.
As a Scottish lass, I’m going to shut my fucking mouth.
Don’t worry, Americans are still up a hill trying to find a wild haggis.
They’re slippery wee cunts. The trick is to chase them anticlockwise round the hill so their short leg is on the downhill side. Then they fall over when they try to run.
Joke’s on them, haggis is illegal in the US
To be fair, cigarettes and coffee are probably healtier than all those foodproduct items on the left.
I don’t know, my tummy hurts more after eating a cigarette than junk food.
The choice is lung cancer and heart disease or diabetes and heart disease. At least us europeans die looking good /s.
I still think you have better odds living longer with the coffee and cigs. I’ve seen far more elderly smokers than elderly fatsos.
agreed 100/100
The burger is definitely healthier than the cigarette.
Coffee for the win though… all those complex alkaloids and polyphenols…
This is the Parisian breakfast. Nothing compared to the Lyonnais breakfast
Well I’m definitely going to need a a Parisian breakfast after having all of that
Damn I want to go to Lyon now
Oooh le saucisson aux pistaches dans la broche. Gourmand !
Fou de fafa
Surely they don’t eat that much cheese as part of their breakfast
You’re right, they don’t.
The other two cheese platters are out of shot.
Beaujolais ? Closer to Lyon… 😁
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.
Reverse image search shows it 3 years ago. Not 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 🥹
Unfortunately, the one on the right may be more healthy
Smoking cigarettes is the number one cause of heart disease and cancer globally. If you smoke, quitting is the biggest thing you can do to improve your health
Nah, obesity and high blood pressure are the top causes of heart disease, but smoking is also a major risk factor. Bad food and cigarettes are awful for you. Just drink a coffee and pursue an affair like a good Frenchman.
Don’t compare all of Europe to France! The French love their despresso, that’s on them.
They clearly have not been to a Swedish breakfast buffet.
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 😂.
I was also pretty disappointed when i found out Zippo’s drain themselves passively in 1-3 weeks. I thought I was getting the best version of a lighter… :(
Zippo (too) sucks for windy weather. You want one of those blowtorch ones
Zippos are really only around still because of aesthetic and cool factor and anyone who says otherwise is lying.
I’ve seen plenty in highschool, even owned one.
Really ? Never saw anyone use it. Are you in Northen Europe/cold area maybe ?
South of France, so not really.
Cricket lighters are better. Much more reliable.
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.
Seriously, what country is this even applicable to? Russia?
France
Still, or 90s France?
Damn struck a nerve huh
I’m not from Europe. But I agree with them. A dumb meme is a dumb meme
And what community did you think you were in again?
Yeah let’s all just ignore the utter ignorance that this image demonstrates.
It’s in a community with shitpost in the name I don’t think you’re supposed to take it seriously bud
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.
Now that’s a proper fuckin breakfast
Lived in Europe my whole life and never seen anyone pair coffee and cigarettes as part of their breakfast
What part of europe are you from my friend?!?
Vatican City
Well i hardly expect the pope to be a smoker
I know it as Greek Breakfast.
It can be enjoyed anywhere or any time, but it’s best served on a balcony in underwear. Greece happens to be a good place to get it in the morning all year round.
we call it the Parisian if it includes healthy amounts of hatred (Parisian Lite without the hatred)
When I smoked coffee and cigarettes were one of the best combos.
How in the hell do you smoke coffee? Please, tell us your secrets!
I smoked coffee on a field trip to Quebec in the 8th grade. I somehow was able to buy a bowl, and we had nothing to smoke so put coffee in it and put it up in our hotel room. Set off smoke detector. Broke the coffee pot. It was a real mess.
The eighth grade French classes no longer take field trips to Quebec. This was only a small reason why. Co-ed 13 and 14-year-olds on six hour bus rides, two nights in hotels essentially unsupervised. This was the 2000-2001 school year. What a time to be alive.
you can smoke liquids in a cold smoker
Unfortunate missing comma…
Coffee and sweet pastry, or just coffee is something I commonly saw in Italy (and only Italy)
That’s because you didn’t go to a european high school
I did
Oh…
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.
Valid point. touché
Isn’t that a french breakfast in the right?
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.
How do people survive without a proper breakfast, by lunchtime 11 I’d be fucking shaking
I usually cant eat breakfast, it just wont go down. Im usually OK with just a big lunch followed by snacks following, though i do sometimes forget to eat lunch and realise late at night that I havent eaten all day
same. a coffee and a small biscuit keep me going until lunch better than a large breakfast without coffee
not enough hatred
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.)
C’mon, your version of that is literally fentanyl
