Germany: Bread, Cheese, Cold Cuts and Coffee

Germany: Bread, Cheese, Cold Cuts and Coffee

Unlike many other parts of Europe, breakfast in Germany is a savory affair and consists of bread rolls, a selection of cured meats and cheeses, and perhaps and egg or two. There may be plateful of raw vegetables or a selection of jams and honey to accompany the bread, and it’s really a mix-and-match kind of spread and lets everyone make their own decision about the best way to fuel themselves for the day.

“ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40 NIV
