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. :)
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.
Room temp butter is just a vessel to increase the amount of chocolate sprinkels on your slice of bread.
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…
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.
