* Eggs |
|
Italians are not big breakfast eaters and few eat eggs before lunchtime. In homes, caffè latte and crisp packaged toast, known as fette biscotate, with butter and jam is the typical way to start the day.
Children typically pick up a slice of fresh-baked focaccia at the bakery on their way to school, while workers stop for coffee and a pasta (pastry) at their favorite caffè before work or as a midmorning break. The pastry is frequently a cornetto, the Italian version of a croissant.
Even if they do not typically eat eggs for breakfast, Italians do eat them for lunch and dinner. Eggs are particularly delicious in Italy. The yolks are so bright and richly colored that Italians often refer to the yolk as the "red" of the eggs.
Italian cooks are very creative with eggs. They poach them in broth or tomato sauce, scramble them with vegetables, toss them in salads, roll them inside of meatloaves, or make them into flat omelets called frittate, which are eaten hot or at room temperature for lunch or dinner.
