Whoa! You mean they don't separate breakfast and lunch by certain
hours like they do here? Whatta concept! Sounds like Denny's.

It's usual here in Italy for McD's, and other fast food chains, to keep
up the same menu day long. And I agree with Stan: it's nice to have a
cheeseburger at 9 AM

None of the chains (AZ, US) seem to do that here except for Denny's. A
couple of very casual local restaurants we frequent offer anything on the
menu throughout their open hours. David likes french fries with his
breakfast instead of hash browns or home fries.

When I get off work after a horrible long 13 hour night shift, and am
starving... I don't want traditional breakfast foods. I want a big
burger with fries! I can get one at 8 in the morning at Huddle House or
Waffle House type places.
There is also a Greek restaurant nearby that groups of us have been
known to hit at 8 AM for pizza and pitchers of beer at that hour and
share some laughs about work. Good "team building" meals those!

The large McDonalds in Rome wasn't what caught
my eye, McDonalds wise. It was the McDonalds in Rome's main train
terminal where you could order breakfast and lunch 24x7. The McDonalds
around the corner from the hotel where I stayed in Florence also offered
breakfast and lunch any time, not just during certain hours. One day, I
couldn't resist, so for breakfast, I went over there and I ordered a
cheeseburger and fries.

Yeah,

Same in Holland!

We stopped at the McDonald's near the Parthenon to use the bathroom when
in Rome last October. Pretty snazzy building and one of the few public
places in Rome where toilets had seats (I hate squatting over the rim of
the bowl!).

No way we were going to eat there when we were surrounded by some of the
best food in the world.

Gee, wasn't that a rather LONG trip to get to the bathroom?... I
think if I needed to use the bathroom when in Rome, I would find
one closer than Athens....

My firemen and medic buddies do that too after a 24 hour shift. Our
son is just an EMT and he even goes out for beers once in awhile when
he gets off at 7 AM. The comradery in the medic/nursing and fire
fighting fields is pretty cool.

I think that's why our McDonald's came up with the sausage McMuffin...
to satisfy our 9AM cheeseburger craving w/o actually giving us one.
Probably so they can sell more coffee. Coffee and hamburger doesn't
have that certain ring.

Sausage biscuits are an OLD southern breakfast staple.

This is on an "english" muffin, not a biscuit. They sell those too,
but they're too rich for me.

The #1 McDonalds was in Rome, Italy. I forget the name of the sectioon
of town but it was in the high rent/fashion district. An opulence of
marble, archways, columns and fresco paintings. And the most expensive
Big Mac in the world, so they said. Now I want to visit Italy more than
ever.

The McDonalds here in town looks pretty outdated by comparison. Run
down is
probably a better term for it.

And I don't even eat McDonalds.

Jon,

Agreed.

I'd love to visit Italy. Spend a month traveling to all the different
regions, tasting each. If I only spoke Italian! (

Best,
