Because the audience is there. Apparently a lot of people like wikipedia articles paraphrased and read aloud to them.

#22I'm Italian (now in the US), and I had some friends come visit in Italy a while ago, and went out to lunch with some of my family. One of my friends ordered a cappuccino mid-lunch and my family almost passed out :)
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?
Traditionally pizza dough should be made on the same day, but takes several time consuming stages and at least 3 hours to rise, so I suspect it’s just that the dough isn’t ready until later in the day.

#23This YouTube channel is excellent, I don’t even brew my own coffee yet the craftsmanship, detail and thought that goes into every video makes them all a delight to watch.
Highly recommend if you want to relax and watch someone be consistently disappointed by coffee for 20 minutes every now and again.

#25I was in Milan last Oct and everyone (it was a work thing) drank cappuccino each day after lunch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I highly doubt that.

It’s hilarious how people are so ingrained in their culture that these things affect them so much. Like if I ate a roast dinner for breakfast or took a shower every lunch time, I’d be considered a madman.
It sounds absolutely silly but really there’s few good reasons for most of our habits.

A lot of the better-quality pizzerias now offer a 48-hour dough option. IIRC the longer it is left to rise, the less yeast it requires, and the easier it is to digest.

I watch Hoffman for the experience of watching the idea play out in full.
On can either throw back an espresso, or sip and consider its flavour. This guy does good complete videos of the latter style. Each to their own.
Coffee is just a ground bean extracted in hot water after all.

#30I'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…
I enjoyed reading your comment. As someone who has never been to Italy, I found it informative.
