Food in Germany

The people in germany spend about 105 min. to eat a day.

Normally they begin the day with a breakfast.
They eat bread with some cheese or bacon, marmalade or other sweet things like „Nutella“.That's a nut-nougat crème.
During the week they eat between 6 o’clock and 8 o’clock. On Weekend they eat between 9 o’clock and 12 o’clock. And sometimes they bake or cook scrambled eggs.

Between 12 o'clock and 14 o'clock they have lunch. You can cook a soup,roast some meat or vegetables. At middy you have very much sorts of different dishes, but nearly they're hot. On Weekend many families don't have lunch because they have breakfast at 12 o'clock and two hours later nobody is hungry.

In the evening you have a supper. Often you eat bread with salad,salami,cheese or something else. It's similar to the breakfast but you eat only a little bit. After that many people eats snacks like crisps or chocolate. (made by Joana)
