Me too. It's like people are forgetting to enjoy their lives.
- smcl 7y agoPeople enjoy different things - you might enjoy a long lunch, the original commenter enjoys going home early (to spend time with family, friends, dog, whatever)
- camillomiller 7y agoIt’s not that. In Italy people have short lunch breaks too. It’s just what’s actually entitled to be called “lunch” that baffles the average Italian
- smcl 7y agoBy now people are well read and well travelled enough not to be surprised or baffled by other cultures, particularly between countries that aren't completely alien to one other. I think surprise or disgust at another culture's lunch is just performative at this point.
- louhike 7y agoWell, being performative can be considered a part of italian culture.
- librish 7y agoThese sandwiches are really tasty. Simple things made well can be really good.
- pedanticlawyer 7y ago> It's like people are forgetting to enjoy their lives. you mean by seating in front of a table for the most part of the day and constantly talking about food? :)
- eafkuor 7y agoNice stereotype but lunches in Italy are usually 30 minutes, just like in many other European countries. It's the 3 minute long, bland lunch in front of your laptop that's depressing to me. But as other people said to each their own.
