The rite of Breakfast.
Surrounded by a group of irresistible characters who still sleepy meet every day, we witness the perfect staging of one of those funny and sentimental comedies which, with their whirlwind of surprising habits, beliefs and small perversions, classifies the average Italian as the best. you couldn't.
The game is no fun without a healthy identification process.
* Which of these characters do you recognize yourself in?
Forever young (snack edition)
He loves the snack above all things: the apricot saccottino teases him, the swivel enchants him. It comes from a past of tarts and small tiles. Accompany with fruit juice. He still buys the pear juice in a jug and drinks it through a straw.
Forever young (shortbread edition)
Hot milk with a drop of coffee in a large cup, abundant with sugar. He's been eating the same shortbread biscuits for 20 years. He takes them out of the package and puts them in a row on top of the placemat. He stares straight ahead as he clocks the dip. He brings a pack of the same shortbread biscuits even on vacation.
Extremist of lightness
As an epitaph, "He lived with a thousand illusions, except that of finding happiness in a snack". White yogurt and sugar-free coffee. Threshold of vice equal to that of an Olympic champion in training. He is convinced that his flawless line is proportional to the lipid content of the yogurt he eats, he would never, ever buy a whole one.
Moderate lightness
Light jam on sugar-free shortbread. He would like to bite into a slice of tart, but he gives up. Alternatively, you can enjoy a cup of milk and cereals, without salt and without sugar. To avoid it, it crackles and hops. He's already been in the pool at 8am.
Brioche, cappuccino
For him, cappuccino and croissant are the ultimate morning inspiration. The unforeseen closure of the bar as usual undisputedly compromises his day.
Hurry
Waiting for the mocha coffee to come up is too much. He's a tough guy, barely says hello. If he has a condescending wife, he finds coffee directly on the nightstand. If you have to do it yourself, do not speak to him in the first half hour of the office.
The last resistant
There are few left but he doesn't care. Proudly unfashionable, it doesn't go beyond honey and wholemeal bread. At most, he indulges in yogurt bought from the ethical store. Sometimes vegetarian, he only travels by bicycle.
Victim of the commercial
He will never admit it, but he lets himself be influenced by advertising. If you forget to buy the milk slice fix it with probiotic yogurt. In the middle of the morning he would eat the wrist complete with mouse of the colleague in front of him, but he resists, and if he really can't make it, he eats a Camilla del Mulino Bianco or a breadstick that he jealously keeps in the locked drawer of the desk.
Professional spreader
He is a serious and resolute spreader of rusks, a perfectionist. Spread consistently for yourself and for others. Stain long, sweet coffee with cold milk. With difficulty he had to eliminate the butter, even if with each spread of jam he remembers it with nostalgia.
Salty is his god
Cooked or raw ham and cheese. But the real bengodi is throwing yourself on eggs, scrambled or soft-boiled. Black coffee and wholemeal bread. Since he discovered that breakfast doesn't have to be sweet, he is a happy person.
* If you feel excluded from the collective portrait, please tell us without further delay what your breakfast is.
