Dutch families have a rich breakfast, such as toast, spread and eggs, such as bacon, sausage, sausage, cheese, fruit salad, juice, milk, coffee or tea. Toast bread is usually coated with applesauce, pure honey or cheese, tomato sauce and cream cheese. Milk and cheese are indispensable ingredients for breakfast in Holland.
The Netherlands is low-lying, with13 of the land below sea level, fertile soil and mild climate. The annual temperature is 2℃- 17℃, the rainfall is sufficient, the annual precipitation is 550-580 mm, the green fodder grows luxuriantly, the lawn area is large, and the canals are criss-crossed, forming a natural grazing fence, which is a natural blessed place for raising cattle. And cultivated the local Holstein cow "black and white flower" cow.
This black-and-white cow produces high quality milk and cheese. The history of Dutch cheese can be traced back to 400 years ago, and the industrial production of Dutch cheese originated in the 9th century, which needs a longer history than the wisdom story of Arabian Nights. In daily life, Dutch people will never leave cheese and milk, whether it is three meals or snacks.
Coffee-loving freshly ground coffee has long been an indispensable accessory for the Dutch. It's hard to imagine how Dutch people's daily life would be a step-by-step whole day if they didn't wake up with a cup of freshly ground coffee first in the morning. If there is a Dutchman around you, and one morning you find that he is obviously in a bad mood, a little fidgety and keeps looking at his mobile phone impatiently, there is no need to guess anything else. He must have no time for coffee in the morning.
In fact, the history of Dutch and coffee is not long. 17 In the new century, Venetian and Dutch merchants brought freshly ground coffee from the Arab world to Europe, but the quantity was very small. This kind of drink that can stimulate the spiritual essence can only be enjoyed by the top royal family, and it is ridiculously expensive, hence the name "black gold". Although it is also used as breakfast, it is far from popular.
Now Dutch people will have a small dessert with coffee for breakfast. Dutch waffles are one of the favorite snacks of the Dutch, and they can be called people's snacks. You can see it from the sweet shops in the alleys of Amsterdam to the shopping malls in the suburbs. This is a kind of waffles with cinnamon powder and caramel insulation wallboard. When eating, cover the waffle on the edge of the hot cup, and the caramel in the waffle will be heated by the steam of coffee. This is the authentic Dutch eating method.
