'We're an American family in Europe and one breakfast habit disgusts us'
American mum Meg James, who often shares insights to her life after having moved her family over to Spain, has shared the one common breakfast habit she refuses to adhere to
An American mum living in Spain has shared the one thing she can't get onboard with after living in Europe for two years, and it has to do with what people eat for breakfast. Meg James, a wife and mum of two young boys, is an American woman who moved across the Atlantic to Madrid, Spain, in 2023.
She has since taken to Instagram to share the family's day-to-day life as they continue to adapt to life in a new country. However, one of the biggest hurdles they have found as they've travelled around the continent is the breakfast options.
"One thing that's a hard NO for this American family when travelling through Europe," they wrote at the start of the video, where her two sons are seen walking on a walking belt at an airport.
The video then cut to a breakfast buffet at what appeared to be at a hotel, where the video panned over plates of cheese and sliced meat.
"Cold cuts for breakfast," they then wrote on the video along with a nauseated emoji.
They went on to explain in the caption of the video: "We've moved to Spain and adapted to all types of delicious new foods. But one thing you can't talk me out of: Lunch meat for breakfast is a no."
While Meg didn't explain her reasoning for not wanting to have cold cuts for her breakfast, she wasn't alone in thinking it was 'wrong'.
"As an European I gotta agree," one viewer wrote in the comment section of the video.
"So what do you put on your bread in the morning?" another viewer asked, to which the mum replied: "tomato, olive oil and salt. We live in Spain."
"As an American living abroad and spent 2 months in Spain, Spanish food kinda sucks overall," a third person wrote.
However, many people also thoughts Meg's way of thinking was wrong, as they couldn't understand why it was ' weird ' to have cheese and ham with your breakfast.
One viewer wrote: ""Cheese and ham is not 'lunch meat,' this is literally breakfast food."
"I mean I agree it's not for me either but you're aware the rest of the world is not here to cater to just you?" another person wrote, while a third person said: "Americans criticizing other countries food. Satire in itself."
"You people think McDonald's is a restaurant. You really shouldn't criticise any other country's food," wrote a fourth viewer.
What do you think, do you have cheese and meat slices, such as ham or turkey, with your breakfast? Let us know in the comments below.

I just need a holiday with a good group of boys or a retreat.' It comes just a week after the 20-year-old revealed he was preparing to check into a Marbella rehab facility in a bid to 'get clean', and open up a new chapter in his life. Freddy stunned followers when he opened up about a long-standing smoking addiction and a desire to make peace with his dad after a tense family rift. The 20-year-old, who starred with Jeff in the BBC's Celebrity Race Across The World, revealed he wanted to get help in Spain for cannabis, saying he 'wants a healthy relationship with his dad'. In a heartfelt post, he said: 'I want to be clean so I can life happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I'm in the middle and have to choose a side.' Freddy also shared hopes of mending things with his famous father, saying: 'I want to play football and take up boxing. I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father.' Freddy was recently spotted puffing away with his grandmother Jackiey Budden, 68, near Tower Bridge, despite Jeff's attempts to block contact over safety concerns. Sources say Freddy moved in with Jackiey in Bermondsey for a week, in defiance of his dad's legal efforts to keep them apart. One family pal revealed: 'Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long — they've always had a strong bond.' 'They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat – where he has often stayed over the years.' Freddy Brazier reunites with dad Jeff before heading to rehab in Spain amid concern over gran's 'harmful' influence TV presenter Jeff, 46, has a court date in his legal fight to stop Freddy from seeing Jackiey amid concerns over his welfare. A family friend said: 'Jeff and Freddy are in regular contact with each other - probably more than most dads and their adult children. 'They talk a lot and spend plenty of time together. Jeff just wants the best for his son and the door is always open for him. "Jackiey's influence over Freddy is harmful to his overall wellbeing. 'It's very sad that a grandmother continues to try and lead him astray.' The Sun approached reps for comment. 7 Jeff and Freddy starred in Race Across the World Credit: BBC

Romeo Beckham leaves party with German influencer after break-up
Romeo Beckham has been spotted on a night out with a German influencer days after his break-up with Kim Turnbull was revealed. The middle son of David and Victoria Beckham, Romeo initially followed in his dad's footsteps and pursued a career in football. However last year he turned down a contract with Brentford FC to stay on with their B team and instead pursue a career in fashion. After breaking up with long-term girlfriend Mia Regan in February last year, the 22-year-old went on to date model and DJ Kim Turnbull, 26. But after a seven-month romance, and amid rumours of a Beckham family feud, last week it was revealed Romeo and Kim had split. A few days on, Romeo has been photographed on a night out with Caroline Daur, a model and influencer who boasts 4.6 million followers on Instagram. Late on Saturday night the pair were spotted leaving the same party at the Hotel Costes in Paris. Although she arrived alone around 11.30pm, Caroline and Romeo later slipped into the same car despite leaving the venue separately. They then headed to the French capital's trendy Julia nightclub, where they partied until 2:30am. However, security was reportedly on high alert, doing everything to shield her from the cameras including swearing at photographers. Despite initially travelling together, Romeo and Caroline then left the club separately. However, a source went on to tell MailOnline: 'Romeo was in town for work meetings, Roland Garros and also caught up with friends. He had dinner with his three friends one of whom is great friends with Caro, so she joined the group. It was a casual dinner in a group setting throughout the evening.' Caroline, 30, was born and raised in Hamburg, and started fashion blogging in 2014. Over the years she's worked with companies including Adidas, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi and Valentino and has founded her own brand and fitness program. The influencer has also starred in the Amazon Prime production Dinner Club and Netflix's She Said Yes. Overnight she shared a series of photos and videos from the French Open, where Romeo was seen on Friday attending the semi-final match between Italy's Lorenzo Musetti and Spain's Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros. Dressed in a navy suit and black t-shirt, Romeo appeared somewhat downcast in some of the images taken at the game. It came after a source said Romeo and Kim had an 'amicable' split that has 'nothing to do' with the Beckham rift after her name was drawn into the drama after it was claimed she'd previously dated her boyfriend's brother Brooklyn, 26. 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up,' a friend told the Daily Mail. 'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. 'It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them.' The source went on to say each had a 'busy careers' and their travel schedules meant that 'having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives'. More Trending Romeo previously dated model and content creator Mia, 22, for five years. When announcing their split in February last year, he wrote on Instagram: 'Mooch and I have parted ways after 5 years of love. We still have a lot of love and respect for each other and still hold a strong friendship and always will.' After featuring in a Burberry campaign when he was just 10, last year Romeo signed with fashion agency Paris Safe management and has since modelled for Versace at Milan Fashion Week.
