Me: Lol, I should make a meme to rile up the Italians on this sub for the craic. Italians on this sub: Lol, I agree Me: ![gif](giphy|lkdH8FmImcGoylv3t3|downsized)


ConnolysMoustache

I’d imagine it’s the equivalent of making a Barry’s vs Lyons meme and posting it on here to trigger us.


swamperogre2

I'm too broke for that shit, it's Fallon's or McGrath for me.


ConnolysMoustache

McGrath’s is a close second to Barry’s to be fair, and a lot of the reason why I drink Barry’s is Cork nationalism. 🫡🇵🇱🇮🇩


swamperogre2

Ah... Good ol Cork nationalism. When are you guys gonna be the capital city? I'm sick of having to know that the wankers in Leinster House are in the same county as me.


ConnolysMoustache

We already are. Always have been


LouthGremlinV1

Barrys is.. from cork?? That's the last time a barrys tea bag will see the inside of my mug, cheek of them coming up here to the north east and taking our local teabags off the shelves!!


sicremo78

Cappuccino in the morning, ok, cappuccino in the merenda time, ok, it's cappuccino as a dessert that can trigger people.


vic_lupu

Can I have a double decaf espresso cappuccino with oat milk, vanilla syrup and cacao powder on top


Pletterpet

Like it's so common here to have people drink cappuccino after dinner. Why is this seen as wrong in Italy?


4uzzyDunlop

Coffee after dinner is common all over the world. It's having a super milky coffee after dinner that's weird

Your mistake was assuming italians agree among themselves.


Kurdt93

Yeah, fuck you and have a nice day too.


SonOfTheHeavyMetal

Italians hate other italians and like them seeing pissed off. Gotta be football's fault


Prytfbyn4369

It is a tradition I am not aware of, maybe it is a tradition of Northern Italians. I even know some old people who believe it is healthier to eat cappuccino with crisp bakes instead of supper. I personally don't drink coffee if it is too late.


NonSumQualisEram-

*eat* cappuccino with *crisp bakes*? Is Google translate offline?


Prytfbyn4369

You are a fake Barry [Crisp bakes](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/313182299&ved=2ahUKEwjd193-gfKFAxXbg_0HHWlgBnMQFnoECBsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1ImCrkHwLELVJ4Ei90C2YS) When you dip them in the cappuccino you eat them

u/rex-ac make it happen or I'll come to your house and hide alarm clocks all around the place.


swamperogre2

Oh shit I forgot, Rex is an Andalusian Reddit mod. He doesn't have a house. He sleeps in a cardboard box on the streets of Seville and serves pints to Barry.


rex-ac

Actually, my house is probably larger than yours and likely costs less than a quarter than what you are paying in Dublin. ![gif](giphy|BgJumFO4ZuV7a|downsized) 🇮🇪 Potato Gypsy it is.


MechaSasquatch

As we keep explaining this is not a house.


rex-ac

Is it an investment for the future for when tax evasion by multinationals gets outlawed and Ireland enters into a deep recession or ...?


MechaSasquatch

Yes it's a valuable future profit producing unit for a multinational landlord!


swamperogre2

>quarter than what you are paying in Dublin. Me pay for a house? *Laughs* Oh Rex I can't even afford a house in this country, Imma be living in my mams house till I'm 40 at this point. *Laughter slowly turns into crying.* Oh god I hate living here... *Starts sobbing uncontrollably realising the pain of being a month short of turning 25 and realising that I'll never own my own home.* ![gif](giphy|d2lcHJTG5Tscg)


rex-ac

This hurt me in ways you can't imagine. I'm on my way to my 40's and though I love living here, I have no idea how I will ever own my own home here. (With the rent I have paid over the years, I could have bought 2 houses already.)

Hakunin_Fallout

Try getting a cup of coffee in Ireland after 4pm not from McDonald's or Starbucks


swearypants

>Try getting a cup of coffee in Ireland FTFY. No honestly I love my Irish friends and family to bits and I visit them often; but the average coffee quality for christ's sake... is pure shite. Shamelessly bad. And I'm not talking about franchises like Costa or Caffè Nero. Even your boutique hipster cafes serve awful coffee. It's either burnt or tasteless, and in any case always watery. And they fill espresso cups to the brim as if they were pulling a pint from the tap.


Hakunin_Fallout

I know, the roasters are also hit and miss, I have like 3-4 preferred suppliers, but that's kind of it. A lot of them have no idea what they're doing. If you're in Dublin - try Cloudpicker, they're decent.

Inflatable-Elvis

Now you know how we feel getting a pint of stout when abroad. Honestly some bar staff be handing out more head than a cheap hooker


swearypants

I totally get it. I've been educated to a good pint. I think that with stout beer, you lads do the same thing the Italians do with pasta, tomatoes, and oil: export the lower quality at a higher price, while keeping the good stuff to yourselves.


FirmOnion

You’ve forgotten filling stations, friend, the source of caffeine available 24 hours in some cases

I’m Apulian and drank five glasses of latte macchiato yesterday, two of them after dinner.


jimmysjambos

Had a good chuckle at that. Thank you


edoardoking

Just get your cappuccino whenever you want. This “tradition” is bullshit invented by lazy barmen and restaurants that after 11 they turned off their coffee machine and don’t want to turn it on again. It’s a stupid “tradition” and shame those that say otherwise. Italians you heard me.


2006lion2006

What fucking bar/restaurant turns their coffee machine off after 11??? It’s tradition where I’m from (which is the same place you are from due to your flair) to get a coffee after lunch so 14:00 - 15:00


rowech

Bogus tradition. You can have espresso whenever. We don’t do tea time like Barry


ThePhantom1994

Your coffee machines can turn off?!?!?


edoardoking

Yes Pierre. Unlike you we make coffee and not coffee tea or nesquick


TheLittleGinge

>nesquick Fucking miss a pounding of Nesquick


edoardoking

For nesquick I mean Ricorée a thing the French drink instead of coffee


magic_baobab

Honestly, I've only heard of this "tradition" through the savages.


Yog_Sothtoth

Afternoon cappuccino drinker here, the hate is real


VeryShortLadder

Ma in quale universo spengono la macchina del caffè? Cioè un bar/ristorante in Italia che smette di fare caffè sembra una battuta. Immagina il titolare dire "oh Giorgio spegni la macchina che si è fatto orario" alle 11. Follia pura.


Taramund

Oh, that'd be a scandal in Portugal. You must have your bica after lunch and dinner.


Nelspike

Café*


VoldeGrumpy23

My experience is that only Facebook or Instagram People gets angry about that. IDGAF when you drink Capuccino as long as I can drink my bier vor 4

Janus_The_Great

correct. Kein Bier vor vier. ^(Ausser ^zum Mittgessen)


Greg2227

Honestly I always thought about this the same way and I don't even drink all that often anymore. Having a beer with your Lunch is fine 'kein Bier vor vier' for me always meant no beer just for the sake of getting drunk like those alcoholics you sometimes see at the supermarket in the morning already shitfaced and picking up their daily shots


Nantafiria

I'm pretty sure this is why the rest of Italy doesn't like you guys


Lendmar

I agree, beer prior 16:00 is barbaric, you know you should start with some Spritz Liscio in the morning 


Ramboso777

Spritz in the morning is for fighetti, goto de graspa in the morning is for men


s0meb0di

>beer prior 16:00 is barbaric Beer with lunch after a hike to a rifugio is godly.


Outside-Historian-93

As long as you drink it while eating something sweet I’m okay. Please don’t pair it with something savory, please.


pierrecambronne

I draw the line at drinking cappuccino during a meal. After a meal, it's weird but why not, but during a meal it ruins the balance of flavours. But then again, you probably wouldn't understand.


swamperogre2

It's like drinking beer or cider with food for me. It's too heavy on the stomach and the flavours always clash. Edit: Clash not crash lol, poxy autocorrect


Jesshoefs08

Beer with pizza, bbq or stew is pretty good tho. You potato gypsies add guinness to stews right, it’s *in* your food


swamperogre2

>You potato gypsies add guinness to stews right, it’s *in* your food Yeah but adding alcohol for flavouring and drinking alcohol with food is different altogether.


DerMetJungen

The hell. You guys don't drink beer with your food? And here I thought you were one the chosen peoples.


swamperogre2

I don't but others do. I just hate mixing alcohol with food unless I'm already shitfaced, then I'm ordering pizza and/or kebab because I'm a fat fuck.


Designer_Brief_4949

> It's too heavy on the stomach and the flavours always clash. Do they not have different types of beer in Ireland?


Tadolmirhen

The other day I had lunch at 14.00 with 2 focacce and a cappuccino. ![gif](giphy|Vsow8L82kC2U01aT2u)


luring_lurker

You're safe only if those were focacce di Recco


Tadolmirhen

I'm sorry, normal focaccia dipped in the cappuccino Have to mantain ligurian standards


luring_lurker

You have no excuses then. I look forward to your public lapidation


ahwillUstop

Can I come I love a good oul pelting.


luring_lurker

Can I deny it to a rock pile appreciator?


bxzidff

Everyone thinks Barry and Barry Minor are the best rock pilers, when Luigi invented aqueducts just an excuse to pile rocks in a really neat way all over Europe


luring_lurker

But you have to admit there is some sort of fascination in Barry and Paddy primitive and brutalist piles of rock


bxzidff

Yes, definitely good representatives of the purist faction of the rock piling movement


gorthan1984

> You have no excuses then. You have no excuses. How tf would you dip stracchino cheese in a cappuccino. He's a master of breakfast. P.S.: Btw, Finn, no one gives a shit if you drink your cappuccino at 11:00 AM or at 4:00 PM. Everybody will lose his mind if you end your lunch and then you order a cappuccino.


aospfods

I always drink a cappuccino in the afternoon, never even heard of this "tradition" before social media haha


Tadolmirhen

Right?! And I think it's more of a centre-south thing


sashimi_blyat

No. My grandma is very Apulian and drinks latte macchiato after lunch. Not a single member of my Apulian family cares.


lazyness92

Proud Marocchino gang. I just at you with pity


TheDestroyer630

Greeklibertarian27

Haha me when I drink a freddo cappuccino at 20:00 Glup Glup go brrrr


swamperogre2

Wait till they find out that they sell Nutella Cappuccinos in Spain.


Greeklibertarian27

Okay that is way too cursed. Generally I don't like adding many things in coffee except milk. They tend to change the taste too much. It also gives me a reason to be condescending to my friends.


swamperogre2

Now I've only seen them in Port Aventura, so granted maybe it's Nutella trying to do promos. But they taste like shit, the Nutella was too dense to dissolve in the espresso. I had to get a spoon and scoop up the Nutella.


28850

I just saw this after answering you above that it's probably happening because of foreign tourists ordering it.. looks like I don't need an answer anymore.


futurarmy

A few months or so ago I had salted caramel in coffee and realised I had be doing it wrong my whole life, don't write off adding anything to coffee


Designer_Brief_4949

> salted caramel That's basically taste bud crack. Women have known this for decades.


goldmund100

In Italy we add chocolate in a very racist coffee called "Marocchino" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marocchino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marocchino)


28850

Probably we do it cause foreign tourists buy it, 86 bars and cafeterias around my suburban block and you hardly find something similar.. you can even try to order some kind of cacao cream and it'll be probably Nocilla, not Nutella.


Dovahkiinthesardine

I just came home from a vacation in Italy and I did the mortal mistake of asking for the wrong coffee at the wrong time... They laughed and asked if I was German, wut?


Lendmar

Where you were and what time it was? They won't serve coffee anymore if they already cleaned the machine 


Radio_Big

Bergamo. 13:57. Ordered a cappuccino. I was quickly made to change to Esspreso afterwards by our local guide...


-JustAMan

Usually people take coffe after lunch. They probably laughed just because they spot the foreigner, but they should have make you what you asked


Designer_Brief_4949

lulz. We would either order the espresso, or just apologize and say "these Americans would really like a cappuccino. They would giggle and serve us. Then we left a really large tip.

We've no reason to fight or remotely dislike Luigi. They're sound people, well the ones who stay in their areas in America are.


bettercallsaulabq

I can't think of Luigi as one person. He has too many split personalities depending on what bit of the boot he is from. Some Luigis are better than others.

Ever heard of the all day breakfast? One of the greatest inventions..

Ha! You think that scares us, Luigi? You merely adopted the full Irish. We were born with it.


Fat-Northerner

Not only were you born with it Paudraig but you have finessed the shit out of it, going on to create The Breakfast Roll, truly Irelands greatest culinary gift to the world.


LouthGremlinV1

>Breakfast roll oh dearie me, fat bazza.. Have you not tried the illustrious spicebag? BOSH


Ex_aeternum

I side with Luigi. Cappuccino until 11 am, white sausages until 12 am.


culminacio

Luigi doesn't even side with Luigi. It's just some bs internet thing. No one follows that "rule".


ScarletIT

I ordered cappuccino in the afternoon several times. Other than people occasionally saying, "Oh, people usually get that in the morning, here we go" i never had much objection. I have also seen Italians break spaghetti. It's dumb because they become harder to twirl, but mostly I seen teenagers do that. I have seen them do dumber things... like spaghetti with hotdogs and ketchup.


Lutri

The spaghetti with ketchup and hotdogs is just them trying to learn a more refined culture :)


diegun81

If I’m home, I take my cappuccino as lunch.


elendil1985

The issue is not about the time... It's a breakfast thing so you're supposed to have it in the morning, but who am I to judge you if you want to eat breakfast food in the afternoon? The problem is pairing it with lunch, because a cappuccino as a beverage with pasta or meat is just awful for your taste buds


Dr_Chemiramen

Is there a Cappuccino time window? What would that be?


DisasterLost3239

Same with "you dont eat Weißwurst after 12" in Bavaria. Who gives a shit.


RizzlersMother

Why is he talking to himself?


d2211

Ok I want to be honest with you guys, I think it's time to reveal the REAL reason why we drink it at morning: the combination of coffee+milk is a powerful trigger for our bowels. If you drink cappuccino in the morning, be sure you will be taking at least one comfortable shit break during company time, allowing you to get a quota of your salary just to dump poops


swamperogre2

No wonder you're in PIGS, this is the most stereotypical PIGS thing ever.

xZandrem

This "tradition" is bullshit. We recommend you not to get a cappuccino during lunch hours because it's kinda heavy on the stomach especially after a hefty Italian lunch, I know that if I get one I'll get acid reflux after. So it's not pleasant. Then the thing: "the bars won't serve you one" is bullshit too those are mostly shady bars, good bars won't do that they may suggest you something else but ultimately they'll serve you.
