There's a pervasive belief in the Netherlands that this unconventional meal helps lift the national mood.

        savoury pastries aren’t that strange of a breakfast in my mind, the point of breakfast is to frontload some energy to get you properly awake and going until lunch.

        especially if you use whole-grain toast it should be a decent breakfast, then you get some instant energy from the sugar and some long-lasting energy from the carbs and fibre slowing it down.

    Translated as “hailstorm” That’s incorrect, it’s more like hail strike (as in, hit).

    My 4 year old likes it with cream cheese. I prefer the traditional real butter on white bread (NOT toast).

    Yes. This is the most normal thing in the world for Dutch folk.
