[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spent 8 weeks in Europe and I found that most places that served simple breakfast provided bread of some kind (more often a roll) with slices and meat and cheese. I had that more than I had croissants or pastries. There was also often yogurt and sometimes a piece of fruit. [/quote]
Europe is not France.  Eating meat and cheese for breakfast puts you in northern Europe--German/the Netherlands/Scandinavia.  [/quote]
I was just in Paris in the beginning of Feb and what PP wrote was exactly what was served for breakfast every day.[/quote]

As a Parisian,  I can assure you that Paris is full of tourists, its actually pretty insufferable. This is why you were served this. You think this is European. It's not, it's German habit that appeals to the throngs of tourists.

Your experience was not authentic. [/quote]
As a German, I can assure that this is what is generally eaten for breakfast in Germany (traditionally).  I can also assure you that the most insufferable thing in Paris is generally Parisian women.  As demonstrated here.  :lol:  [/quote]
