Butter for breakfast?

<BR>Is it true that butter/margareine is not offered at Italian hotels' breakfasts?

Thanks, everyone, I was worried! A friend who stayed in Florence (at the Bellettini) last year said that they never served butter at breakfast. I love the rolls they serve - but they do need butter!<BR>margaret

there may NOT be butter - i have traveld throughout europe, and there are definitely places that do not serve butter for breakfast...&quot;it is not for breakfast&quot; a travel companion of mine was once told in sevilla - ah well, when in rome, deal with rolls without butter if you must

A quick request for butter at the hotel would not be out of the ordinary. I have never heard of no butter.

True you will often not have butter on the table. But every hotel will have butter in the kitchen so just ask for some. This is not an earth shaking problem!

I just love to eat butter plain for breakfast. The best part is the way it oozes between my teeth when I bite into it. Sometimes I can eat a whole stick!<BR>OOh La La!<BR>

Nobody (he said) could call me a fussy man, but I do like a little bit of butter to my bread...

In Northern Italy better than butter is the little individual cheese wheels---between butter and cream cheese---delicious with the hard crusty rolls. It's called Belle Paese. Yum!
