Very interesting!
For us Italians, brunch is one of the strangest Anglo-Saxon dietary habits.
In Italy we have breakfast early in the morning, before going to school or work: only sweet food (in Italy savory food for breakfast is a taboo that's hard to break
) and consists of coffee (some people who have little time available they only drink coffee), milk, biscuits (sometimes oatmeal) or rusks. After breakfast there is only lunch around 1.30pm (in some regions of Italy, especially in the North, a little earlier in others a little later, especially in the South), with pasta or rice, meat or fish accompanied by bread and vegetables, fruit or sweets. In reality, in recent years lunch is consumed more and more frequently outside the home, in restaurants, pubs and consists of fast street food. Some people, especially children, also have a snack in the afternoon, normally sweet food like at breakfast and consisting of croissants, sandwiches with Nutella etc. Some people who are away from home eat ice cream or a small dessert. Then there is the evening dinner, around 8 pm (in the Northern regions even at 7 pm, in the Southern regions even at 9 pm), which is perhaps becoming the main meal of the day and which often replaces lunch (but many people prefer to eat outside the home, in restaurants, pizzerias, etc.). But brunch is a really strange meal
