Italian here. We don't usually have cappuccino after 12pm because cappuccino is a breakfast meal. We do have coffee after 12pm tho. For Italian people, cappuccino toghether with lunch / dinner is a taboo, it's like broccoli ice cream we can say :)
- 1_player 6y agoIt's just milky drinks in general. I always found it weird to see people having milk with lunch in American TV shows. Its sweetness doesn't pair well with saltier lunch and dinner time food. It's not a lactose intolerance problem at all.
- nojokes 6y agoWhen I was child then I liked milk with everything.
- throwaway201103 6y agoSame. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner I drank milk.
- 1_player 6y agoIs it possible it was skimmed milk? I can't imagine having whole milk with, say, pizza. Too thick, hides all other flavours.
- hvdfhbj 6y agoMilk isn't sweet, though? I'm curious, are you from a country where milk is conventionally UHT treated? UHT milk has a sweet (and plasticky) taste to me.

- jacobush 6y agoIt is sweet if your diet is not sugar heavy. Hi America.
- 1_player 6y agoAFAIK most Italian milk is UHT treated, yes.
- izietto 6y agoYes exactly: drinking milk with salty meals is a taboo in Italy. I've always being shocked by the fact that UK/US citizens drink mainly milk instead of drinking water. Moreover, I visited US a couple of years ago, and it was shockingly hard to find normal pure water, since people there use to drink almost only water variants or other beverages. In Italy the only beverages you usually find on the table during lunch/dinner are water and wine.
- sevensor 6y agoI once traveled from the U.S. to Italy with a colleague who insisted on ordering cappuccino after supper. I think he mainly did it because he enjoyed scandalizing restauraunt staff.
- aargh_aargh 6y agoGreat, now I want to have a taste of broccoli ice cream. Thank you very much...
