GERMAN TYPICAL BREAKFAST

A typical German breakfast (Frühstück) falls between what we'd call a deli platter and a continental breakfast. Cold meats (including their famous sausages) and cheeses are served along side a variety of breads and sweet toppings like jam, marmalade and honey. Soft-boiled eggs, cereals and fruit would round out a large breakfast.
