Why don’t the Spanish eat breakfast?
As usual when there’s a Spanish holiday, we were pretty much completely full over the last couple of days and yet nobody took a breakfast!
In some ways that suits us as it gives us a bit of a break from the need to get up very early to do the breakfasts.
But why don’t they take them though? They certainly take breakfasts in hotels in Spain so why don’t they take them in France? Although it’s hard to give a definitive answer I suspect that it has a lot to do with the absolutely pathetic excuse for a breakfast that you get in most French establishments although funnily enough the price is the same or even higher than for breakfasts in the Spanish equivalent and in Spain you get a very full breakfast for that money.
So, it’s probably down to the French not really “doing” breakfast as a proper meal.
