I am a very greedy person and I really like to taste food wherever I am, I really love the moment of tasting and I consider it one of the most pleasant moments in life. An excellent meal can be defined as the association of good food and a relaxing place.
This morning I had breakfast at the 3 Palms Bar, a historic bar in the city, active since the 70s and a meeting place for many young people throughout the year. The name of the American bar is not causal as it stands next to 3 large palm trees, they will be at least 60 years old and have become a symbol of the city.
The restaurant has a very large internal room and a beautiful outdoor garden which is usually used in the afternoon and evening hours for aperitifs and dinners. A truly lovely place to dine by candlelight 🕯️
This morning I chose a good cereal croissant with a filling of blueberry jam. The brioche dough is usually very buttery to make the pastry, but these croissants are particularly light, worked much longer with water and flour and a lactose-free butter in lower than normal quantities. The dough is particularly soft and the hint of cereals goes very well with blueberry jam.
Coffee is a classic of my breakfast, you can't drink anything else, it has now become a habit and for this it must be a really good coffee. The three palms bar uses only special blends, moreover the coffee is always ground just before its use and the aroma is intense, fragrant and leaves no side effects such as heartburn, a consequence of poor quality coffee or processing. very bad of the machine, especially if of low quality level.
Here, however, there are also people who prefer a savory breakfast, made up of eggs, bacon, wustel and cold cuts. The scent fills the air and it's hard not to be tempted by these dishes. A light background music is always a good food companion, relaxes the mind and sharpens the perception of scents in the air, as well as stimulating hunger.
The bar has free WiFi and this allows many workers who want to have lunch but still work to have a great place to do it. Very welcoming and professional, the staff is helpful and smiling, they prepare the customer to come back even later and this is what I have been doing for years now. Coffee and croissant has an affordable cost of 2 euros, for lunch and dinner the cost fluctuates around 15/20 euros, excluding wines.
You can pay by prepaid card but at the moment it does not yet accept cryptocurrencies, I asked the owner but at the moment it is still a way from being accepted as it is not regulated and difficult to manage with local taxation. But the owner told me that he knows Bitcoin and that he owns some cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash.
Of course I told him about Hive, the community, what we do and what we will do. He seems to have been very satisfied with all the information, especially interested in the absence of commissions, a problem node for both the FIAT currency and the crypto, a great incentive for traders to potentially use it as a payment tool.
Hive really has a lot of potential, it is necessary to work on this and wait for better times for the crypto world. A regulation on the use of cryptocurrencies as a payment method could blow up our blockchain 🔥
