Coffee in Italy

Ease into the day with a simple, yet delightful Italian colazione (breakfast). Let your espresso machine caffeinate you luxuriously with a hot cappuccino or caffè latte, pair it with a buttery crostata or cornetto from your local bakery (or the international aisle in your grocery store!), and take your meal on the patio, waking up with nature.

Waffles in Belgium

When it’s time for a snack, turn to Belgium, where waffles are not considered a breakfast food and also receive a huge flavor upgrade. Whether you opt for the soft sweetness of the Liège waffle or the crisp Brussels waffle topped with Belgian chocolate, kick up your feet and give yourself a minute to savor your snack.

Lunch in England

The traditional ploughman’s lunch is a perfect way to take your mid-day meal. Combine high-quality British cheeses and meats with some crusty bread, pickles, chutney, and seasonal fruit for a substantial yet simple lunch. Amp up the authenticity by enjoying your ploughman’s lunch with a cold pint, preferably in your basement pub.

Afternoon Tea in Ireland

Stick around the U.K. for this delightful pm snack, and stay true to the tradition’s history by inviting some friends to enjoy it with you. Not to be confused with the more formal high tea, the loose leaf teas, finger sandwiches, tarts, cakes, and scones of afternoon tea are taken at a low table, perfectly suited to your living room table.
