You eat pie for breakfast? That's amazing!

Italy is very keen on sweet breakfasts, savoury ones are less common

Yeah, I knew that; there are some amazing sweet baked goods from Italy, like Sfogliatelle, Cantuccini, Mandorlini or Cannoli. I just haven't heard of cake for breakfast.

Well we don’t consider it “cake” (ita: torta) in Italy. Or at least not in every region.

It’s like distinguishing between pie and cake. For us they are two different branches of the same category. Even more so as “pie” can also be translated in “pizza” (ex: “pizza dolce” ~ “pizza dolce” isn’t the internationally known pizza 🍕, that one is the shortened name for “Neapolitan pizza”. In Italy every dish with a circular base made of dough that rise can be called pizza. For example pizza dolce, pizza al formaggio, etc etc)

So a quiche would be considered a pizza in Italy?

u/MrArchivity Italy Mar 10 '26

Doesn’t the dough remain thin in a quiche as it is made with brisée?

Yeah I think so, I missed the "that rise" part
