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…

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.
My wife insists I'm not allowed to have curry for breakfast! :)

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.
On a tangent, why don't we see much use of alternative sugars in cooking and baking? Refined sugar all seems to be sucrose. There are non-refined sugar sources like honey that aren't sucrose, but obviously honey also differs in many other characteristics from 'normal sugar'. I've never come across a recipe that calls for fructose, lactose, or glucose specifically and I don't think my store carries them in a refined s…
You'll find lots of alternative sugars in keto/diabetes recipes.

> 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.
I thought this was funny. "You can order it whenever, except when you can't."

If it's of any comfort, I find your post informative, thanks. And who cares of carma points anyway...

corn syrup is glucose. high fructose corn syrup is 40-90% fructose.

I've worked as a barista in the US and I've never heard of using different milk for cappuccinos vs. lattes -- instead, I've always just imbued more air into my cappuccino froth than when I make latte froth. Is it especially common for Italian coffee shops to use different milk for each, or am I just misunderstanding your comment? On the (admittedly off topic) note of you getting downvotes: I suspect some of it probab…
In some places they care more than others, but you can make a perfect cappuccino with simple whole milk.
My problem with English is twofold, I'm not the best at it and I find writing from the smartphone painful, even in Italian.
I'll give a shot to grammarly, thanks!
