I drink it straight from the blender. Then I walk to my office carrying a mug of dry granola which I begin eating as I leave, pouring it from the mug into my mouth. Arriving at the office minutes later, I make a large pot of very strong coffee; approx one scoop coffee for each cup; oil is apparent on the top and few others can drink it. I finish my granola in an erratic or leisurely fashion, and drink coffee all morning. I have to say: it works for me. And, just think how how many glasses, bowls and spoons I have saved! It occurs to me that many here will find this horrible, or funny, or both. I offer it up as a form of entertainment, or posssibly as an example of what not to do for breakfast.

I am impressed! so Eastern Europeans eat this too? We come from North East Italy (Veneto region, formerly the "Austrian Hungarian Empire") so who knows if that recipe emigrated South West or the other way around.

Coming from Eastern Europe (Romania) the crunchy chocolate salami he mentioned was part of my childhood delights. Let's not limit the culinary world to Western Europe!!

Cheesecake is good, too, but pie is my favorite. Most days breakfast: some of last night's dinner leftovers, or a bowl of oatmeal. Unless I baked something recently, in which case I'll eat whatever that is. Periodically the children cajole me into making pancakes and bacon, and when I emerge from the cosmic time-sink that pancake making always generates, I do enjoy them tremendously. I think most of us can visualize the ideal breakfast... but very few have the motivation to actually assemble it on a regular basis.

It's full of French immigrants. #2: Italians can do crunchy desserts! OK, sometimes they're too crunchy, like poke-your-eye-out or knock-your-head-off crunchy, like awful almond cookies or other biscotti (biscotto is any cookie).... but sometimes they're good. You should try the chocolate salami. I don't think any non-Italians know about this. Bittersweet chocolate, butter, sugar, nuts, all rolled up and refrigerated till somewhat crunchy/granulated.
