Satan’s Beverage & Toasted Colonialism: A Tale of French Breakfast

Forget bacon and eggs, in France, breakfast doesn’t even come on a plate. 🥐☕️

Instead, it’s all about the bowl, a ritual shaped by global trade, 17th-century aristocrats, and a serious caffeine habit.

Tune in to learn:

Why the French word for lunch, déjeuner, actually means breakfast
The FWOP's take on bacon and brunch in France
How three caffeinated plants from three corners of the world: coffee, tea, and chocolate changed French mornings forever
What French people actually eat for breakfast (spoiler: it’s not croissants 🫣)

Plus: Caroline and Emily spill their favorite breakfast spots in Paris (5 Pailles) and Lyon (Odessa and Le Déjeuneur).

🎧 Fishwives of Paris — where French food myths go to die (and breakfast gets a reality check).

Hosted by Lyon-based sommelier Caroline Fazeli & Paris-based food journalist Emily Monaco.
