I haven’t heard of the after-breakfast snack. I love the tradition of Kafee und Kuchen (coffee and cake – but I probably spelled all that wrong).

We often ate cereal for breakfast in Germany – the adults liked raw oats cold with milk. But bread with butter and jam is always common. Lunch varied, but was the hot meal of the day, and could be quite filling. They skipped lunch on the weekends, got up late and had a big breakfast with salmon and eggs with bread, jam, honey, etc.
