I had a Dutch roommate once who routinely ate sprinkles on toast for breakfast — she called it traditional.
Half my family is from the Caribbean and I’ll admit we eat some odd things (all manner of salted fruit for example), but I have a hard time computing sprinkle toast as a complete meal
It is! Hagelslag on bread is very much a Dutch traditional food.
Bread, apply butter, pour chocolate sprinkles on. Eat.
So many people don't appreciate how good high-quality butter is!
Oh, Dutch people use unsalted, and often the cheapest butter on their bread. And the majority use margerine
Doesn't change how great high-quality butter is. :)
I do love (quality) sprinkles on straight-up white bread, but I will usually toast the bread first and put on a thin layer of peanut butter instead of butter.
Dollar-store generic sprinkles are AWFUL. De Ruijter or bust.
Thank you! Nobody I've pointed this out to seems to understand what an abomination cold butter on raw bread, with sprinkles is, I thought I was the crazy one.
It's a treasured tradition in Australia and New Zealand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_bread
This is why you people were expelled to the furthest possible distance.
The first time I ever heard of this was in the game Dinkum. That was when I discovered Australians apparently say "hundreds and thousands" to refer to what we call sprinkles. I appreciate most of our little differences but that one puzzles me.
100's and 1000's is specifically the spherical sprinkles. I don't know why. But it's totally acceptable to call them sprinkles too.
I know I'm weird, but thickly slathered cold butter on bread can be amazing.
It’s not for me…I’d faster do it with melted butter and toast if I were going to. But then again, I eat hot pepper soaked pineapple rings, so maybe I don’t deserve to judge anyone…
