From the Netherlands World / Stories

Bread, coffee and the evening meal

Traditional Dutch breakfast and lunch share a bread-based format, while dinner centres on a cooked meal. Cheese, sweet toppings and coffee customs make the everyday details more distinctive.

Why go

Hagelslag means chocolate sprinkles used as a bread topping, and ontbijtkoek is a sliced spiced cake that can accompany breakfast or a snack. Koffie verkeerd combines coffee with hot milk. At dinner, the abbreviation AVG stands for aardappelen, vlees, groente: potatoes, meat and vegetables, a useful key to the traditional meal pattern.
