What?s a Parisian hanging out on insufferable DCUM for anyway? Shouldn?t you be at a quaint cafe somewhere eating a croissant?

A black coffee or espresso and a good croissant is really THAT bad?

They’re full of butter, my dear.

A Costco croissant and a black coffee is about 345 calories. You can totally lose weight with that kind of breakfast.

Europe is not France. Eating meat and cheese for breakfast puts you in northern Europe--German/the Netherlands/Scandinavia.

I was just in Paris in the beginning of Feb and what PP wrote was exactly what was served for breakfast every day.

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.

Wait - France and Germany aren't considered part of Europe? The title said Europeans...

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.

Good lord yes. I wonder if it’s the same nasty snot that pops up on threads all over the place as the expert Frenchwoman?

The fat tourists, who else?!

Ha. Actually, the kids’ snack time is at around 4pm, when they get out of school, and some do eat/share a pastry.
Every French person occasionally indulges, but it’s not an every day thing. Those things are treats, and you can’t have a treat every day... unless you’re in the US and trying to become obese.

DP I'm sure if there were no tourists than you would wish that you had the "insufferable" tourists there giving your country money!

DP.. that ^PP was such a typical Parisian response LOL I'm sure the Parisian PP is never a tourist anywhere.

I've been to Paris numerous times, btw. I'm sorry I was so "insufferable" but they sure seemed to like the money I spent there.

When I lived and worked in Italy the standard breakfast was cappuccino and croissant and yes a lot of people eat that daily - I did pretty much daily and still lost weight while living there!

Yes. They are skinny fat with clogged arteries.

I have family in Tuscany and they usually eat a pastry every morning with breakfast. Sometimes even cookies.

But the women are all very slim. I think it’s because they walk much more than Americans, but no real idea.
