Why Italians don't drink a cappuccino after 11am [video]

I think there needs to be a much greater expectation that the answer to "did you read?" is "no" when the article is actually a video. I very rarely will click on a video link and I think it should be incumbent upon people posting them to provide a tl;dr.

I'm Italian and have been having breakfast with caffellatte (milk and coffee) for all of my life, but am probably lactose intolerant on some degree.

I just can't get the day started without the smell of breakfast.

It all depends on what time you wake up, I wake up very late when I'm not working and have breakfast even if it's 2pm.

No way I'm skipping it, if I'm out of latte, I go to a bar and have a cappuccino (milk for cappuccino is more creamy, so it taste better and make the popular foam, it's also a bit harder to digest but there's also less of it in a cappuccino than in a caffellatte)

No shame in it, bars are there to serve not to judge.

Contrary to what people believe you can ask for a cappuccino whenever you want in Italy, the only exception is meals, no cappuccino during lunch/dinner, no cappuccino immediately before or after it.

Usually Italians don't have a cappuccino after a certain hour because bars run out of brioche (we call them cornetti) and a cappuccino without cornetto it's almost not worth it.

And because if you have it to close to lunch or dinner, grandma is not gonna be happy that you are not eating your 30th fettina panata.

But it's 2020 in Italy too and there are a lot of options for lactose intolerant, one is skimmed milk, another is lactose free milk

They are both very populyar and every bar serve them.

@moderators ok this is getting a bit ridiculous. Few minutes in and the usual downvote arrives.

Am I being targeted?

There are downvotes I deserved or that are understandable, but lately they are coming as soon as I comment.

On any topic, even the less popular (like this one)

I'm not believing anymore it's coincidence.

I spent some time in Sicily and one of the things I discovered was I could not get pizza for lunch,only dinner. I thought it was just one restaurant being obstinate but town after it was the same response.

And to this American who enjoyed a slice between classes I could not understand why. I concluded it was too hot and no one wanted to turn up the pizza oven. Is that correct assumption?

I was in Milan last Oct and everyone (it was a work thing) drank cappuccino each day after lunch.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No reason to be downvoted that I can see. I checked your comment history and see a fair amount of on-topic constructive comments that were also downvoted (some you probably deserved).
