Dutch breakfast: here’s how you do it<\/span><\/h2>\nBreakfast is one of the first things you do in a day, so you’d better do it right! Fortunately, most Dutch people know how to handle that. A typical Dutch breakfast consists of bread, whether or not toasted, with <\/span>cheese<\/span><\/a>, meat <\/span>butter<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>sweet toppings<\/span><\/a> like <\/span>chocolate spread<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>sprinkles<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>flakes<\/span><\/a>. In addition to a sandwich, Dutch people also often eat <\/span>rusks<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>gingerbread<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>currant bread<\/span><\/a> or a plate of porridge.<\/span><\/p>\nWith a typical Dutch breakfast is often <\/span>buttermilk<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>milk<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>coffee<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>tea<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>fresh juice<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Optimel<\/span><\/a> Drunk. Dutch people who prefer not to start their day with bread often choose <\/span>yogurt<\/span><\/a> or cereals, such as <\/span>muesli<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>cornflakes<\/span><\/a> with milk, <\/span>yogurt<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>cottage cheese<\/span><\/a>.

Where does the word ‘breakfast’ come from?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe term ‘breakfast’ is derived from ‘de-biting’, where ‘ont’ stands for starting something and ‘biting’ is the old Dutch form for food. In English, a breakfast is referred to as ‘breakfast’, literally translated as the ‘breaking of the fast’. In French, the first meal of the day used to be called ‘d\u00e9jeuner’. Later, this word for the most important meal of the day changed to ‘d\u00eener’ – a contraction of ‘d\u00e9jeuner’.<\/span><\/p>\nOn average, Dutch people eat their breakfast between 6:00 and 8:00 on a working day. In the weekend this differs, but often it is between 7.00 and 11.00 am.<\/span><\/p>\nExtra competitive shipping costs<\/span><\/h2>\nThe <\/span>shipping costs<\/span><\/a> that Real Dutch Food uses are extra sharp.
