As a yank my favorite thing about breakfast in europe is it has… vegetables. I skip breakfast a lot because it makes me sluggish, but after a trip to Amsterdam for work, I started doing what I had at the small hotel there: some combo of cold cuts, one or two bite sized pastries like in the picture, some sliced tomatoes with a bit of salt, some peppers or green beans, some cheese, and a hard boiled egg. Occasionally some kimchi or saurkraut, but that I never had with breakfast in europe.
My only real gripe about EU breakfast is the coffee. Absolutely delicious but gone to fast. Even if inferior, I need volume. Coffee is my emotional support beverage to get me through the first half of my day. It’s either that or a pitcher of bloody marry’s and I’ve been sober a while now.
Well, fairy bread is for parties. These are non-festive, highly serious, adult approved chocolate sprinkles for daily consumption.
I think the form factor is giving people the wrong impression. The French eat baguette with Nutella and no one bats an eye, but sprinkles are somehow reserved for cake.
I appreciate it, but what I appreciate more is that you saying that means your the kind of person someone whos just starting to get sober would be lucky to run in to. Keep that up.

Didn’t even have a proper Amsterdam breakfast smh.
This one in particular was always funny to me. Surely they have better tasting sprinkles to make this reasonable?
Hagelslag ftw!
Is that just fairy bread? Bread, butter, sprinkles? Boring coloured fairy bread but still
it’s chocolate, so it’s brown. there’s also fruit sprinkles(vruchtenhagel) that’s just colored sugar

This is so real. I usually skip breakfast as well, unless it’s a bagel (I’m weak for bagels.)
That is awesome, though. I know it’s not worth much, but this random internet stranger is proud of you. :)

Virgin Marys are just as good if properly spiced.
